Vacuum Cleaner Parquet Nozzles Guide

While carpets used to be fashionable as flooring, they have now been replaced by parquet flooring and laminate. As the prices differ only slightly, the parquet floor is today the best choice as a flooring for your own home. In contrast to laminate parquet floor made of real wood is a little more sensitive, but while a scratch in the laminate damage the planks irreparably, sufficiently thick parquet wood can be sanded several times and then looks like new again. Due to this advantage, a high-quality parquet floor made of sufficiently thick hardwood will sometimes last a lifetime. But it is not just individual, pronounced scratches that damage the floor. Much more common is the heavy wear in everyday life and especially in the cleaning of the parquet floor. In particular, strong abrasive cleaners and cleaning equipment attack the surface and make them appear quickly dull. To prevent this from happening, it is very important to carefully clean the parquet floor from the beginning. As vacuuming is one of the most common cleaning jobs, the vacuum cleanerTherefore, be equipped with a special parquet nozzle, which makes the flooring look beautiful for a long time.

What makes a parquet nozzle?

The great difficulty in vacuuming a parquet floor is not to burden it too much. As a rule, dust is only sucked in when the soil has reached a certain level of contamination. Even if a vacuum cleaner nozzle is gentle on its own, it first takes dust, sand, crumbs and other, very often microscopically, sharp-edged dirt particles with it and pulls them over the floor. A nozzle that has trapped sand in a hard brush and is pulled over the parquet floor has almost the same effect as sandpaper. To prevent this from happening too easily, special parquet nozzles have a special structure. The edge of the nozzle carries around a very stiff bristle rim, which ideally should have solid ground contact. So coarse dirt is first pushed in front of the nozzle, without getting caught in it and mitgeschleift. So that the bristles do not deform too easily and the floor is not too heavily loaded by the nozzle itself, a parquet nozzle is always provided with rollers, which reduce the friction and further protect the parquet. Good parquet nozzles also have flexible joints, which ensure that the nozzle can move independently of the suction tube. This ensures a good ground contact.

Which parquet nozzles are useful?

First, it should be said that a parquet nozzle is not always a sensible purchase. Anyone who already owns a very high-quality vacuum cleaner from a well-known company, which includes a correspondingly qualitative universal nozzle in the scope of supply, which is much better equipped with this than with a cheap and corresponding inferior parquet nozzle of a no-name manufacturer. Whether the initial cost of a high quality parquet nozzle worthwhile, but also depends on the type of wood. Anyone who has already saved on the parquet and has chosen a comparatively short-lived coniferous wood will not enjoy the floor with the best of care. However, if you have chosen a really noble and very durable wood for your parquet, you should strive to treat it as carefully as possible. When looking for a suitable nozzle, you should first look around the accessories of your own vacuum cleaner manufacturer. These often have very good accessories, which can be seamlessly connected to the respective device. Alternatively, you can look around at other manufacturers. These occasionally offer parquet nozzles, which are compatible with the vacuum cleaners from different manufacturers and also have a high quality. An indication of high quality is a bristle ring made of extra long bristles, which consists of horsehair instead of plastic bristles.
