Vacuum cleaners are extremely essential as has been seen since their invention in the early 19th century in Chicago. Imagine a world, both in the commercial circles and at home where dust and dirt are still swept by a broom. Imagine how slow and inefficient this is especially in commercial buildings where there is a huge volume of customers (for instance banks). Without the vacuum cleaners, dust particles would dominate the air we breathe causing nasal passage infections, breathing difficulties and even asthma attacks. Dust also causes the air to dry out and this accelerates flu-like symptoms and acute sneezing. That is why many feel that vacuum cleaners are not an option but a necessity. There are two types of cleaners. There are those that come with vacuum bags and there are those which due to technological advancements are bagless, not requiring the bag to be emptied or replaced like their counterparts. This is good but cleaners with bags are still popular because they are easy to replace, clean and also in case something valuable is lost in the house, one can easily vacuum the floor then empty the bag and retrieve the valuable. So where can one buy these replaceable bags?
This is easy. First of all, you can buy the bags at the same store you bought the vacuum cleaner. Most people buy vacuum cleaners are department stores such as Wal-Mart or Target and these because of their association with the manufacturers and wholesalers, have access to the accessories for all the appliances that they sell. Once you buy the cleaner, it also comes with paperwork or documentation about its maker and there is usually a website address or a customer service toll free number in case you have any questions about your product. There is also an address and some even come with a reorder form attached which one can easily fill and reorder another bag.
Before you shop for a bag, do some online research first. The Internet is an excellent place for getting bags that you can buy at affordable price. Because there are many companies selling these bags, you want to do your homework rather than settle with the first available offer. You might be able to find another bag at a lesser cost.
EBay is a great place to shop for vacuum bags. This is because EBay is the world’s greatest marketplace and has people from all over the world selling and buying. That is why it is easy to find something on EBay. There are many people that still have the old-generation vacuum cleaners who parts and accessories such as bags are now no longer in stock. This can pose a significant dilemma for someone who owns such as a pierce. E BAY answers this question. Another source would be Craigslist where you can easily shop in a “garage-sale-style” environment. If you don’t see what you want, simply post a request to the wanted section and someone who has it will contact you.
Vacuum cleaners have been with us since the earlier part of the 19th century. Actually, the cleaner originated from one Ives McGaffney in Chicago who sold the cleaner to the Chicago Cleaning Company who needed a machine that can speed up commercial cleaning. Then a man by the name of Melville in Grand Rapids Michigan heard of the idea and attempted the perfect it. He was successful and after he died, his wife took the company to greater heights becoming exceedingly influential in the process. This paved the way for the vacuum cleaners that we know of today. It is now almost unimaginable to try to think of a world without vacuum cleaners especially in commercial circles. Imagine places like banks where customers are stepping on the carpet every day.
Vacuum cleaners are also essential in the home. Imagine where the dust in the carpet accumulates and then begins to rise into the air when people step on the carpet. Then the air conditioning that is blowing in the house causes this dust to circulate in every room. This dust becomes a breeding ground for harmful flu-causing bacteria, viruses and fungi not to mention pollen. This has been attributed to flu-like symptoms, respiratory complications, nasal discomfort, sinus pressures and clogging and also infection. Some people have even reported asthma attacks at a more frequent level. There is a saying that goes “prevention is better than cure” and it is better to keep the dust away in the first place than to try to deal with it when it is already in the home.
One great advantage of using vacuum bags in cleaners is that once in a while, one looses something valuable such as a wedding ring, a precious coin, contact lens or anything minute enough to get lost in the carpet. All one has to do is vacuum the suspected area of the floor or carpet and then empty the bag. There are some cleaners that are bagless thereby making this exercise harder.
Another easy advantage is that the cleaner can be replaced. This is in the event that it is damaged beyond repair or stained. There are stores that sell vacuum bags at affordable prices. The cleaners that are bagless cannot be replaced without having to replace the whole cleaner because the canister that traps the dirt is securely attached to the cleaner. This poses a grave disadvantages because for those who are not technically inclines to gadgets and fixing things, a malfunction of a cleaner can cause unnecessary headaches.
You can also say that the cleaners that come with a replaceable bag are cheaper. Not only are they cheaper, but they also do an excellent job at cleaning and removing dust and dirt in general. This is ideal for those who want to maintain a clean environment without having to worry about spending a small fortune. While bagless cleaners are definitely wonderful as well, we must admit that cleaners that come with bags are a convenient and cheap way to keep dust and dirt away.
It is hard to imagine a commercial and civil world without vacuum cleaners. The carpets where hundreds if not thousands of people gather would collect so much dust and dirt that the quality of the air would be disastrous. Even humidifiers and other expensive air purifiers would not be able to handle the level of dust particles floating in the air. This is clearly evident in dusty countries where vacuums are not widely use. The rate of signal infections and respiratory infections is horrendous. In the West, vacuum cleaners are a way of life. There are mainly two different types of vacuum cleaners. There are those which come with vacuum bags and those that are without. The bag-less kind are supposed to be the new state-of-the-art types which do not need to be emptied regularly. While there is an obvious pull in this direction, there cleaners that come with a bag are certainly holding their own in the market due to the various advantages that they come with.
Vacuum cleaners were invented in Chicago by a Ives McGaffney who was contracted by the Chicago Cleaning Company to produce a device that would make commercial and home cleaning a breeze. He did a good job and others such as Melville from Michigan perfected the art and when he died, his wife, whom the cleaner had been designed for as a present, took over the company and went on to become one of the most influential business figures of that time. The original cleaners were heavy and cumbersome not to mention the excessive noise that they created. They also came with a thick canvas that was heavy.
Today, technology is slowly shifting towards the bagless cleaners which need not be emptied. These boast a suction force so strong that it literally obliterates all the dirt that enters its tubes. This can be convenient especially for people who live in low dirt areas and do not want to spend an eternity vacuuming their floors. But despite the advent of the bagless cleaners, the cleaners which come with a bag are still very common. This is because not many people have transitioned to the bagless cleaners just yet. That means that after cleaning especially for a while, many people still prefer to empty the bags themselves. This has obvious advantages as we shall see.
Vacuum cleaner bags are ideal because they are very replaceable. They also come with a filter which works to trap dirt and debris which comes through the suction force of the hose. The bag then fills up after some time and is then ready to be emptied or replaced. Most people prefer to empty and then re-secure the bag to the cleaner in readiness for another session. This convenient and cheap for most people and there is no additional costs. It is also safe because in the event that you lose a valuable such as a wedding ring, you can simply vacuum the house then check the vacuum bag.
We cannot talk realistically about vacuum bags without first talking about vacuum cleaners. A vacuum cleaner is a lightweight machine that cleans by means of a suction force as it trawls the ground for dust particles. The dirt and particles that are caught up in the cyclic force that emanates from under the cleaner are then directed by pressure into a vacuum bag that is secured to the machine. The vacuum cleaner as we know it was invented in Chicago in 1868 by one Ives McGaffney who was contracted by the American Carpet Cleaning company, then a large cleaning concern. The first cleaner was sold to the public for less than $30.00 which was actually a lot back then. Most of the units were actually sold in Boston and Chicago and it was a while before the idea crossed over to other states. It was known merely as the “dust gatherer”. Then 1876, a Melville Bissell of Michigan decided to run with the idea and he perfected it, giving a fully functional vacuum cleaner as a present to his wife who after Melville died, took the reins of the company and became one of the most powerful businesswoman of her time. Today, the first vacuum cleaner is stored at the Historic Center in Chicago and is open to viewing by the public.
It is now hard to imagine a world without the vacuum cleaner as we know it. The models in the market today use a different whirlwind suction technology that can pick up heavier and larger items such as glass and even rocks making cleaning a breeze even in the dirtiest areas of a building. Vacuum cleaners were initially designed to work only on carpets but today’s cleaners are well able to tackle wooden and concrete floors alike.
The vacuum cleaner has evolved greatly since the days of Melville and McGaffney. The cleaners now promise to clean more thoroughly and eradicate more dust and dirt efficiently. There are now cleaners that can be adjusted to clean whatever state of floor one is dealing with. While bag less vacuum cleaners are now in the market, there is still a high demand for cleaners which come with a bag.
Cleaners which have a bag have some obvious advantages. One of them is the fact that they can hold more dirt than their bag-less counterparts. When vacuuming more dirt resistant areas and area such as front porches, there is the risk that a bag-less cleaner may not handle the job well.
Another advantage of a cleaner that comes with a bag is that it can be emptied when it gets full and then the cleaning job can be resumed. In the event that your cleaner picks up something important, such as a wedding ring or contact lens or a watch, then it is a simple matter to just stop the vacuuming, empty the bag and retrieve your precious items. This makes cleaning with a vacuum bag much more safe and efficient.
