CLEANING & HYGIENE
GIENE: PRODUCT FOCUS
POWER WITH RESPONSIBILITY
The XP range of upright vacuum cleaners from SEBO feature independently proven filtration, hygienic dirt disposal using sealable bags and are exceptionally quiet and light to use. These features, SEBO explains, make them ideal for use in the healthcare environment.
Clearly, a vacuum cleaner’s number-one task is to clean. The XP range harnesses the power of an on-board computer to measure performance on the floor and continuously adjust the floor head to the optimum cleaning height, completely automatically. The powerful brush action pulls the vacuum cleaner forward so that the pushing force required to manoeuvre it is close to zero, helping to make it light and easy to use for extended periods, but also giving deep cleaning performance. The integrated wand and hose mean that cleaning above the floor and reaching into awkward places is easy. The computer can also advise when the bag needs changing, or when there is a blockage, and the multiple access points and cassette-style brush roller make the XP easy to maintain.
Last, but not least, at SEBO we believe that vacuum cleaners should be built to last, and should be easily repairable. Our vacuum cleaners are built to be durable and reliable; to have a long service life using few replacement parts. Component parts are identified with the material they are made from, so that they can be recycled more easily when their service life is over.

“Virtually all the dust and dirt that is picked up by an XP
vacuum cleaner is safely trapped in the high filtration bag.”
Of course, once dirt is picked up, it is essential in hospital and healthcare scenarios that it is retained in the vacuum cleaner and not released back into the air. The Health and Safety Executive recommends that we never assume that any dust is safe and that all uncontrolled dusts are potentially hazardous. Virtually all the dust and dirt that is picked up by an XP vacuum cleaner is safely trapped in the high filtration bag, which can be sealed and hygienically disposed of. The filtration of the XP has been independently tested by the DMT Test Institute in Germany to filter 99.97% of particles of 0.3 micron. Above this particle size, the filtration level is very close to 100%.
Healthcare facilities generally operate 24/7. It is not always possible to vacuum when no one is around and the health and wellbeing of the cleaning staff and inconvenience to the public have to be considered. Although there are regulations limiting the sound power level that a vacuum cleaner can reach, the quality of that sound can still be unpleasant, even where the vacuum cleaner meets the regulations. SEBO sound engineers have successfully muted the harsh frequencies to which the human ear is sensitive. This has the result that with any form of background noise, the sound from the XP virtually disappears, making it suitable in many cases for daytime cleaning. Indeed, in any situation where low noise levels are important, the XP range is ideal.
