Designing Spaces
Designing Spaces: Before we get started, I have to ask you, how often do we change our bags on our vacuums?
HomeCare Industries: It’s very important to change both your vacuum bags and your filters. Your vacuum bag should be changed at least every six weeks; or when the dirt inside the bag reaches that fill line and your filters should be changed at least every six months. Now when your filters and bags become overused, they easily become clogged with dirt and with dust – which results in poor air quality. But, it also reduces the suction power of your machine and puts a strain on it as well.
Designing Spaces: You brought some bags for us to see today, right?
HomeCare Industries: That’s what we did, absolutely. We brought our new HomeCare scented MicroLined® vacuum bags; and our filters as well.
Designing Spaces: Scented vacuum bags? I’ve never heard of that.
HomeCare Industries: Our HomeCare scented bags use HEPA media and they also have an odor controlled Micro-Liner. The first step that you need to do is take the scent tab and you peel it off and that releases the scent.
Designing Spaces: Oh, I can smell that already. That’s a great smell.
HomeCare Industries: And then you want to place it in your vacuum. This is our HomeCare scented vacuum filter. The scent is created from little scent beads inside the filter itself; and as you’re vacuuming, it brings the scent out into the room.
Designing Spaces: I see.
HomeCare Industries: The HomeCare bag, which is a two-ply microlined bag, adds an extra layer of filtration which captures one hundred percent of dust mites, allergens, rag weed and other household debris. Here, we have two bags that have been used; and they look pretty similar. (Holds up two bags.)
Designing Spaces: They do.
HomeCare Industries: Both dirty, one actually is a single-ply and one is the double-ply.
Designing Spaces: Which one is which?
HomeCare Industries: Can you guess?
Designing Spaces: I can’t guess.
HomeCare Industries: I know, they look the same.
Designing Spaces: Okay, which one’s the one-ply, which one’s the two?
HomeCare Industries: (Holding up one of the bags.) This is the one-ply; and, as you can see, the dirt is actually captured inside the bag. Then you go here to the two ply.
Designing Spaces: Ok, let’s see.
HomeCare Industries: (Holds up second bag.) Again, it looks like it’s captured inside the bag. But, then when you pull the MicroLiner off, you actually see that it’s clean. So, the dirt is actually staying inside the bag, Now, the HomeCare’s MicroLined bag also gives you significantly better filtration – up to three times better filtration.
Designing Spaces: Whoa.
HomeCare Industries: (Proceeds to start up the vacuum, to demonstrate.) Smells good, right?
Designing Spaces: It smells so clean and fresh. You can really smell that.
HomeCare Industries: That’s the odor eliminator and liner and scent patch at work. When you stop smelling that scent, it’s a great indicator that you need to change either your bag or your filter.
