Real cleaners: 6 devices for house cleaning

Vacuuming, wiping, scrubbing: deep cleaning of the household can quickly become a mammoth task. But there is hope: Because resourceful manufacturers have come up with devices for almost every cleaning act that relieve you at work. COMPUTER BILD shows which devices you can use to whip your household into shape.

The dog stomps through the door with dirty paws and the white shag looks like stracciatella ice cream. Chemical upholstery cleaners are often not enough to make carpets and upholstery look like new again. The compact upholstery and carpet cleaning device Bissell SpotClean ProHeat should help. The practical thing: If you fill the tank with hot water, the device keeps the temperature constantly high, so that you can clean over a longer period of time without any problems. The water releases a cleaning brush while mixing with the manufacturer’s professional cleaning agent. After a short exposure time, use the SpotClean ProHeat to suck the dirty water out of the carpet into the dirty water tank.

Streak-free perspective: that’s what everyone wants before cleaning the windows. With the Kärcher WV 2 Premium Black, this should be done in no time at all – with up to 35 windows (or 105 square meters) with just one battery charge. A spray bottle with a microfiber cover included in the set makes it easier to clean the windows. The Kärcher then sucks in the dirty water and thus ensures streak-free cleaning results. It is also suitable for cleaning tiles, mirrors, shower cubicles or glass tables.

Nothing is more annoying: you wipe, wipe and wipe – and finally you bend down to scrape the stain off with your fingernail. The Vileda Steam Plus steam cleaner is designed to save energy and remove 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses. After only 15 seconds, the steam cleaner is heated up and ready for use. You then have a choice of three steam functions for parquet, carpets and tiles when wiping. The triangular mop head ensures that corners are particularly easy to reach.

How you make your bed is how you lie down. Especially with older mattresses, this can mean that you don’t sleep alone, because mites have a preference for dander and like to nest in textiles. The 500 watt mattress cleaner Hoover MBC-500UV with integrated UV cleaning light and rotating brush roller helps against this. With its three modes of vacuum, roll & beat and UV, it kills up to 99.9 percent of bacteria, allergens and dust mites. In addition to mattresses, the 2.3 kilogram device is also suitable for cleaning upholstered furniture.

Sure, you shouldn’t just vacuum for spring cleaning. It is all the more important to make this act of cleaning pleasant. While conventional corded vacuum cleaners restrict your range of motion, their cordless counterparts offer maximum freedom. This also applies to the Philips SpeedPro Max. The vacuum cleaner, which weighs around 3.4 kilograms, has a 0.6 liter dirt container and, thanks to the powerful PowerBlade digital motor, sucks in up to 1,100 liters of air per minute. Best of all: One battery charge is enough to vacuum an area of ​​125 square meters – so it also enables house cleaning without a pit stop at the socket.

If the vacuuming gets on your nerves, you are well advised to use a vacuum robot, because they do the floor cleaning on their own. The COMPUTER BILD test showed that nobody currently cleans as thoroughly as the Ecovacs Deebot T9. With sensors and cameras, he recognizes objects lying around and even people in the room – and first cleans somewhere else. Many functions and powerful wiping round off the smart cleaning experience. This makes the T9 currently the best vacuum and mop combination on the market and puts the device in first place in the COMPUTER BILD best list.
