Carpets trap dirt and allergens, so choosing the right cleaning method - vacuuming, spot cleaning, extraction or hot-water (steam) cleaning - keeps them healthy and looking good. Match tools to traffic levels, pets and stain types.
Canister vacuums remain a top option in 2025 for versatile cleaning of hard floors, stairs and tight spaces. They offer strong filtration, specialized tools and quieter operation - advantages to weigh against modern uprights and sticks.
Vacuum technology evolved from early Broom Vac models to modern cordless sticks and robot cleaners. Improvements in battery, filtration, and motor design offer more convenient, effective options for different floor types and cleaning needs.
