Wet vacuum cleaners can be extremely helpful for people who are allergic to dust and want to keep their home as dust-free as possible.
At the same time, they cannot completely replace manual floor cleaning.
Let's find out why.
Surface debris and particles
Wet vacuum cleaners are designed to primarily remove liquids and larger debris from floors.
However, they may not effectively pick up smaller particles, dust, or dry debris present on the floor's surface.
Stains and spills
Wet vacuum cleaners are useful for addressing spills and stains, but they may not be able to remove all types of stains effectively.
Stubborn or deep-set stains, such as oil or ink stains, may require specialized stain removers or manual scrubbing for proper removal.
Disinfection and sanitization
While wet vacuuming can remove some surface dirt and bacteria, it may not provide thorough disinfection and sanitization.
Traditional floor cleaning methods often involve using disinfectants or cleaners specifically designed to kill germs and bacteria, ensuring a hygienic environment.
Texture and grime
Some floors, such as textured tiles or grout lines, can accumulate dirt, grime, and residue in the crevices, which may require scrubbing or agitation with a brush or mop to achieve a thorough clean.
Odor control
Odor-neutralizing or deodorizing products are often used during traditional floor cleaning to eliminate or mask unpleasant smells.
