20 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday January 19, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com H E A LT H & W E L L N E S S Miele vacuums provide precious help against allergens, dust and pollen We seldom think of the vacuum cleaner as a primary way to combat allergies or asthma. It's no wonder; ordinary vacuums can't even begin to remove the myriad of microscopic particles found in today's homes. This is why Miele's specially equipped S4 and S5 Series vacuums contain the best quality components to help you put a stop to allergies before they even start. Miele's ultra high-performance filtration system provides the ultimate in cleaning performance, especially due to its Active HEPA Filter, which eliminates airborne dust stirredup by vacuuming; a problem allergy sufferer's face each time they vacuum. The Miele HEPA filter not only traps 99.99 per cent of particles as small as 0.3 microns, but it also absorbs odours, and due to its advanced design, it only needs to be replaced about once a year. Miele's powerful vacuum motor creates the suction that lifts even microscopic particles off floors, out of deep carpets and even finer fabric like those found on duvets. The Motor Filter adds an extra layer of filtration ensuring the longevity of your vacuum's motor. A vacuum that's going to be used to clean up on allergies and asthma has to have absolutely air-tight construction and hose connections. This is how Miele ensures that every bit of air that's sucked in travels through the filter system and surrenders all of its microscopic particles before leaving the vacuum. Miele's IntensiveClean high efficiency dustbags have been developed and tested to meet the highest quality standards. Vacuuming with Miele is now not only more hygienic, but also easier, because from January 1 until February 29, Miele is offering a two packages of free bags with the purchase of a Miele vacuum. All Miele vacuums are designed and tested for a life-span of 20 years. The body, castors and buffer strip must withstand being dragged over many kilometers of uneven ground, and the telescopic wands are extended and retracted a colossal 120,000 times. For many years Miele has adhered to the policy of developing and producing all the important components for their vacuum cleaners in their own factories in order to ensure the utmost quality. Over the last 80 years, Miele's laboratories have tested many methods of dust pick up and retention, and have come to the firm conclusion that using a filter bag, is the most effective, hygienic method of removing dust from the home. Add a choice of floorheads and onboard tools, as well as variable suction levels to tackle every task, from tough carpets and hardwood floors, to delicate curtains and dusty shelves, and you have a range of vacuum cleaners that are extremely efficient and versatile.
