Using a Beam Central Vacuum System to Improve Indoor Air Quality

The following is taken from the Beam website. Look at our most recent blog about Beam's new Internet policy

"A Beam central vacuum system removes 100% of contacted dust, mites, dander, pollen and other allergens and carries them away from the living environment to a canister usually located in the garage or basement."

To maximize the effectiveness of a central vacuum system to improve indoor air quality, Beam offers the following cleaning tips:

"Traditional dusting: Ineffective and harmful.

Dusting your home the old fashioned way with rags and scented sprays is ineffective and can be harmful. That's because dust is recirculated, and chemicals are introduced into the living environment which can be extremely hazardous to allergy and asthma sufferers. Using dusting attachments on your central vacuum system allows you to "power" dust. Regular deep cleaning with a Beam system means you'll breathe easier and dust less often.

Carpet and upholstery: Can you live with it?

Some allergy and asthma sufferers cantollerate carpet, draperies, blinds and upholstery, others cannot. Whether you should remove these items from your home should be determined by your physician. Only 20% of the patients who are advised to remove their carpet actually do. If you decide removing these things is not for you, a central vacuum system will help control the dust and allergens in your home.

Refrigerators: Not cool for allergy sufferers.

A refrigerator acts like a powerful magnet attracting dust and allergens, which become trapped beneath and behind the unit. When the motor cycles on and off, the dirt becomes airborne creating a key source of irritation for allergy and asthma sufferers. Until now removing dust has been difficult because the refrigerator had to be moved. Now with the Beam Wonderwand Floor Hugger it is easy to clean beneath and behind refrigerators and other hard-to-move appliances and furniture. This narrow attachment slips beneath and behind the unit to remove trapped dust, dirt and allergens quickly and easily."
