Vacuums

Vacuums with sealed systems and HEPA-class filtration.

A vacuum that leaks fine dust back into the room redistributes the very particles it is meant to remove, including allergens and chemical-laden house dust. Sealed systems with true HEPA-class filtration capture and retain those particles.
