Is the use of vacuum cleaners decreasing, and if so, why?

In truth, hoovers are "changing form" rather than "decreasing"!

Anyone who does a lot of cleaning knows that after sweeping the dust off the surface of a wooden or tiled floor, you must mop it again to get it really clean!

Otherwise, even if the floor has been thoroughly scrubbed with a powerful cleaning appliance, walking about barefoot would leave not just sticky feet, but also black soles!

So, instead of "vacuuming," "scrubbing" is the key to cleaning the floor!

When we comprehend this and consider the hoover as a little equipment, we can see how it is positioned as a floor cleaner.

But!

The hoover has some advantages, including a lot of suction force!

It may not only take up dust from the floor, but also dirt and debris from crevices in fabrics, appliances, and furniture.

The downsides are that it cannot pick up wet waste, that it is difficult to use in moist situations, and that it must be cleaned and stored manually after use.

The "primary battleground" for hoovers has changed from interior flooring to huge carpets in hotels/rooms/events as a result of these two issues.

On a regular basis, hoovers are still quite good at taking up dust and small waste particles concealed in the pile.

However, the most practical application is in the car, where a handheld mini-vacuum can precisely remove dust and debris from a small, crevice- and fabric-rich interior.

So, rather than 'dwindling,' hoovers are being withdrawn from the 'battlefield' of residential floor cleaning.

With the hoover 'out of the picture,' sweepers and/or scrubbers are more commonly used to clean domestic floors.

So, now that we've cleared things out, who is more adapted to the needs of modern houses, the sweeper or the scrubber?

It is well understood that the modern family need "spotless" and, ideally, "labor-saving" and "hands-free" services.

So, let's go over each of them in terms of their requirements...

Sweepers for the floor.

We won't describe a'sweeper' that merely sweeps the floor because it is the equivalent of a little hoover that wanders on its own. We'll talk about the more useful sweeping and mopping robots here.

Pros: Smaller, takes up less space, and can recharge itself when finished, making it less of a hassle.

Cons: Only cleans dust and little dry waste particles; does not clean wet waste or huge stains.

The mopping cloth loaded on the robot is usually a little piece, and a little mopping is already dirty, so it is almost as if the robot is dragging a dirty mopping cloth all over the house, and the floor is not only not cleaner, but more evenly unclean.

Unless and until......

You follow the robot's ass through the mop, but what's the point of freeing your hands?

(When the mop becomes dirty, you must remove it and wash it, or it will drag you about.)

To summarize, the greatest benefit of a sweeper is that you can use your time at work, leave the cleaning to the robot, and come home to a clean floor.

The cleanliness, on the other hand, is still up for debate.

Scrubbers for the floor.

The floor scrubber is a little household best cordless handheld vacuum for pet hairequipment that is taking over and "contracting" the cleaning of more and more families' floors.

For their own convenience, many households use floor scrubbers.

The recently popular Urejka floor cleaner, for example, can scrub away at sticky raw eggs, oily soups, and "stretched" sugar syrups, among other things.

As a result, the scrubber is nearly "invincible" in terms of cleaning power.

No matter how sticky, oily, or how much soup or water is on the floor, if the robot and hoover can't handle it, the scrubber will clean it up thoroughly.

To summarize, the hoover can just collect dust, whereas the sweeping robot can wipe down the entire family, deep clean, but also see the scrubber.
