While most people are thinking about getting their Christmas trees home and decorated, we're already thinking about taking our Christmas trees down and cleaning up after them. We may seem like we're getting ahead of ourselves here, but we want to help you keep the excitement in your holiday season by helping you avoid the potentially damaging vacuum cleaner clogs that fallen Christmas tree debris can cause. Fallen needles are safe to vacuum up, but larger parts, like twigs and branches, are not. We hope some of these tips can help you keep up with your post-Christmas cleanup while keeping your vacuum cleaner operating smoothly.
Although some of the most important advice comes into play after Christmas, pre-decorating preparations can save you time and effort in the long run. Before setting a natural Christmas tree in its stand, place a tree-sized plastic bag in and around the base to minimize the spread of debris as the tree dries out. While we don't carry these, they can easily be purchased elsewhere online. When the time comes to take the tree down, pull the plastic bag up and around the tree to trap fallen twigs and needles inside. This will also help to keep debris contained as you carry the tree out of your home.
After the tree has been bagged and removed, pick up all fallen branches and twigs off the floor. These larger parts are the ones that can cause clogs, and nothing will dampen the spirit of the holidays quite like a broken vacuum. Once these have been gathered up, you can safely vacuum the needles your drying tree will inevitably leave behind. As a bonus for bagged vacuum cleaner owners, the needles that are vacuumed up will continue to emit a pine scent from your vacuum's exhausted air until the bag is disposed of. If you want to maintain that pine scent every time you clean, simply save some of the fallen pine needles in a plastic bag and place a teaspoonful in a fresh dust bag. By doing so, you can experience the scent of holiday cheer long after the tree is taken down.
If you're looking to upgrade your vacuum cleaner before the holidays, we offer a vast selection of vacuum cleaners in different configurations from a wide range of brands. For questions about a particular model, or if you would prefer to place an order over the phone, please call (866) 972-8227.
