What Is The Difference Between A Wet And Dry Vacuum Cleaner

 

We all know that traditional vacuum cleaners available on the market can do a great job cleaning dust and other dry particles from various surfaces in the house, but they cannot be used to clean liquid spills. This is why they are classified as dry vacuum cleaners.

If you need an appliance capable of sucking up liquid mess, you will have to look for a wet vacuum cleaner, also known as a ‘wet-vac’.  It is designed with a waterproof container, and all its electrical components are protected from the water running through the vacuum, so you do not have to worry about short circuits or electrocutions.

So, both types of cleaners – wet and dry – are equipped to suck up materials, but they differ in terms of design and type of materials they can clean.  In general, wet vacuum cleaners are designed for industrial use, although they can also be very useful in your home or garage. They are powerful, heavy and noisy, compared with dry vacuums, which are compact, lightweight and easy to operate.

When it comes to the price, dry vacuum cleaners are based on a more sophisticated technology, therefore they are more expensive than wet vacuums, which are more basic.  Check with Arvada Vacuum for all your floor cleaning options.
