As the Consumers’ Association points out, even though the European Community has obliged manufacturers to reduce the power of vacuum cleaners, they consume about 25 cents per hour. The less time you spend doing the cleaning, so much the better, but it’s no use going up and down the corridor at the gallop if the vacuum cleaner brush isn’t in good condition and you have to go over the same area several times to get rid of all the dirt. Change the brushes as soon as you notice that you have to go over the same place more than twice.
We are all looking for new ways to save on our bills.
The electricity bill, in fact, is one in which we are most interested in saving in the long term, since it is a necessary expense and one we will always have to face, no matter where we live.
Therefore, having more knowledge about where, how and why we consume energy will help us reduce and optimise the energy consumption in our home.
There is the so-called phantom consumption, which is that carried out by the devices that we leave connected to the electrical network, even if we do not use them.
However, the post you are reading is about something simple but effective: the correct maintenance of a device that is commonly used and to which we do not pay too much importance:
The vacuum cleaner.
Many times we wonder where so much expense comes from and rarely do we ask ourselves what a vacuum cleaner uses. This is not a discreet appliance.
As the OCU Consumer Advice Centre points out, although the European Union has forced manufacturers to reduce the power of vacuum cleaners, the cost is about $0.25 an hour. That is, if you vacuum only once a week, you would be paying €12 for a year
The less time it takes to vacuum the whole house, the better, but running down the hall will be of no use if the vacuum cleaner does not have a proper brush and you have to go over the same area several times to pick up all the dirt properly. Change the brushes as soon as you notice that you have to go over the same place more than twice
