2025-07-25
It's no secret that the air you breathe has a direct impact on your health; unfortunately, nearly half of the population in America lives in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution. To remove dust from the home, many people vacuum regularly, with vacuum filters capturing dirt and allergens. Just like vacuum bags and brushes, vacuum filters need to be replaced from time to time. There is no one-size-fits-all schedule, as it depends on factors like whether you have pets or allergies. Howev

We spend most of our lives indoors, but did you know that the air inside our homes can contain more pollutants than outside? Americans shed around 1.5 grams of skin flakes every day, let alone the buildup of pet dander, pollen, and dust mite debris, all contributing to poor indoor air quality. If you live with a large family, pets, or open windows throughout the day, it’s even more vulnerable to dander and allergens that can travel through the air and settle into corners, on furniture,

Have you ever experienced this situation: you vacuum and wipe everything down, but within days, a thin layer of dust reappears on your floors, shelves, and screens? This is more common than you might imagine, particularly in polluted American cities like Bakersfield and Los Angeles, or in desert places like Las Vegas, where wind can carry dust indoors faster than you’d expect. It may seem harmless at first, but the constant cycle of dust forming and settling can impact both your health

Most people have dealt with spilling water, juice, or coffee on the floor: you can knock over a glass at breakfast, your pet can leave urine by the door, and your kid can drop a bottle of milk; wet floors happen all the time. When it comes to cleaning up liquids, it isn’t always as easy as it seems. If liquid sits too long, it can cause damage like discoloration, warping, or mold on wood floors. There is also a risk of slipping or spreading bacteria from spills. In the rush to clean, ma

The average yard size in the US is about 23,301 square feet, just over half an acre; however, in places like New York, Hawaii, and New Jersey, lawns are much smaller. As you might expect, what counts as a “small lawn” varies by region, ranging from just 1,000 to 10,000 square feet, depending on whether you live in a dense city or the suburbs. Many people assume robot lawn mowers are only made for large, open lawns. The truth is a robot lawn mower with the right features can work

What’s your priority when renting or buying a home? For 79% of Americans, having a lawn is high on the list. As robot lawn mowers get popular, one common concern remains: uncut grass along the borders. Cutting edges can be tricky when our yards are framed with stones, concrete, or creative items like recycled logs and woven branches. Raised edges, hard surfaces, uneven terrain, and dense vegetation can block the mower’s path or even cause damage. So, can robot lawn mowers really handle edge c

When your vacuum loses suction, your first instinct might be to check the motor, the hose, or the suction head. But here’s the thing: the vacuum bag plays just as important a role in keeping your machine running properly. A full or worn-out vacuum bag not only cannot hold dirt, but it also blocks airflow and reduces cleaning power altogether. Besides emptying the dust bag, replacing it at the right time is necessary for maintaining strong suction. You may ask: What’s the right time to chan

After dinner is done and the house quiets down, the chores begin. For many, late evening is the only moment they can clean. But is vacuuming at night really okay? Noise complaints in apartments and townhouses are more common than you think. The US Federal Noise Control Act of 1972 provides a general guideline, but most cities and towns have their own ordinances that define what sound levels can land you in trouble. Generally, quiet hours start at 10 pm, meaning a loud vacuum cleaner might n

When you picture a robot lawn mower, you probably imagine it gliding across a flat, green yard in a sunny suburb, just like most ads show. But what if your home is built on a hill, like those in San Francisco or Oregon? Not every robot mower can handle that kind of workout. For steep gradients and uneven terrain, you’ll need a model with smart navigation, solid traction, and a strong motor. Since many municipalities and homeowner associations have lawn height regulations, thus, failing

Since the first robotic vacuum cleaner was introduced in the 1990s, many revolutionary technologies have been added to the device. Among them, one of the biggest milestones is the addition of a mopping function, allowing it to vacuum and mop simultaneously, saving you valuable time and physical effort. Yet, not everyone needs this extra feature. In colder regions of the US, like the Midwest or Pacific Northwest, many homes are carpeted, making the mop function less helpful. So rather than as

There are over 145 million housing units in the US, and naturally, they don’t all look the same. From compact NYC apartments with tight corners to sprawling multi-story homes, each space comes with its own cleaning challenges. When shopping for a robotic vacuum cleaner, it’s important to make sure the navigation technology is advanced enough for your home’s layout. While older models were often criticized for their random movement, which led to missed spots and repeated areas, today, smar

Many people chose to upgrade to a robot vacuum because they are smart and convenient, yet they’re not always the most stylish addition to your home. Leaving them out in the open may not go with the minimalist look you create. They can also get in the way, and make noise when self-cleaning.
