Vacuuming Too Quickly
It’s tempting to start power walking around your house with your vacuum cleaner in an effort to finish cleaning sooner rather than later. This is especially true if you have so many other chores to attend to afterward. However, doing this can be counterproductive. When you vacuum too quickly, you don’t give your vacuum cleaner enough time to properly suck in all the dirt and contaminants on the floor. Take your time and vacuum slowly to suck up dust effectively.Using The Vacuum In One Direction
Aside from vacuuming too quickly, many people also make the mistake of only using the vacuum in one direction. If you do this, you’re only sucking up half of the contaminants. There might be other dirt, dust, and hair hiding under the strands in the carpet or stuck to the floor.
Vacuum around the same area a few times to allow the vacuum attachment to shake off the dirt stuck on the object or surface you’re cleaning. Make sure to vacuum in all directions if you truly want to deep clean an area.
