Although there is no hard and fast rule of how often you should hoover, frequent vacuuming is key to maintaining a healthy living environment free of dirt, dust and other allergens. Floors are not the only places that need to be vacuumed as cushions and window sills and skirting boards tend to collect just as much dust. Frequent vacuuming prevents dirt and dust getting trapped and trodden into your floors which is especially important for households with pets or children crawling and spending more time on the floor.

So, how often should you Hoover? This largely depends on the layout of your home, the amount of foot traffic and types of flooring. Rooms with more foot traffic such as the kitchen, and living room should be vacuumed at least twice a week while offices and bedrooms can be vacuumed once a week.

Hard floors like wood, synthetic wood and laminate should be vacuumed at least once a week. Keep in mind that not all vacuums are created equal. Make sure to have a vacuum that is suitable for wood floors to prevent scratches and damage to the floor. Industrial style vacuums and even the wheels of robot vacuums can damage wood floors.

The HF9 is a lightweight cordless vacuum suitable for both carpets and hard floors that comes complete with a mini crevice tool to get into the smallest of spaces.
