HEPA in the name of the special
filter used in modern vacuum cleaners stands for high-efficiency particulate
air or arrestance and it denotes a special filtration technology that removes
from the air or from the surfaces encountered all particles the diameter of
which is greater or equal to 0.3 micrometer. Commercialized since the 1950’s.
HEPA filters are today widespread and appreciated by customers for the advanced
cleaning capacities offered by the machines that use the technology. Here are
some of the most important benefits offered by HEPA filtration:
-
Allergy relief – HEPA
filters remove not only dust from the air or from the surfaces that the vacuum
cleaner is run on, but other contaminants as well, including dust mites, smoke
particles, mold spores, pollen and pet hair that are in the size range
mentioned above. This means that the surfaces cleaned with vacuums equipped
with HEPA technology found at Arvada Vacuum are much cleaner than the surfaces cleaned with more
simple vacuums and the rooms cleaned through HEPA filtration will have much
fewer irritants that could cause problems for allergy sufferers;
-
A healthier environment
for newborn babies – the rooms cleaned with vacuums that use HEPA filters are
cleaner, therefore much more suitable for protecting newborn babies from
developing problems of the immune system as well as of the respiratory system.
