At Windsor Building Services, we are committed to providing the highest quality cleaning services to optimize health and wellness in indoor environments. That's why we only use vacuums equipped with genuine HEPA filters. In this post, we'll explain what makes these filters so effective and why they are critical for the commercial spaces we service.

Use HEPA Filters in Our Commercial Cleaning Service

What Are HEPA Filters and How Do They Work?

HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. Thaese filters are designed to remove a minimum of 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger as air passes through them.

A HEPA filter's high density of randomly arranged fibers forces air through very tight spaces. Pollutant particles are trapped through diffusion, interception, and impaction:

  • Diffusion: Small particles collide with gas molecules, delaying passage through the filter
  • Interception: Particles follow the air stream and adhere to fibers
  • Impaction: Large particles are unable to avoid fibers and become embedded

Together, these capture mechanisms filter out allergens, mold, bacteria, smoke, and other irritants.

Why HEPA Filtration is Essential for Commercial Cleaning

Reducing airborne particles is a must for offices, healthcare facilities, schools, and other public spaces. Standard vacuum cleaners recirculate most of these particles into the indoor air.

In contrast, HEPA-filtered vacuums trap irritants and keep them contained. This improves conditions for anyone with asthma, allergies, or compromised immunity. Cleaner air also reduces employee absenteeism and presenteeism. We care deeply about the health of the people occupying our clean commercial spaces. HEPA filtration ensures we aren't compromising air quality with our vacuuming.

Our Commitment to Proper HEPA Filter Maintenance

To maintain peak performance, HEPA filters require careful maintenance:

  • Inspecting filters regularly and replacing any that appear discolored
  • Following the manufacturer's recommendations for replacing filters
  • Frequently using the vacuum to prevent excessive particle buildup
  • Combining vacuuming with dusting, disinfecting, and other cleaning methods
  • Using sealed filters that prevent leakage
  • Disposing of used filters appropriately in sealed bags

At Windsor Building Services, we adhere strictly to these best practices. Our staff are highly trained to keep our HEPA vacuums working optimally. We only utilize top-quality machines with the absolute best filtration to provide our clients with superior air quality.
