Vacuums for Removing Water

Vacuuming water takes a special kind of vacuum. While standard family conditioners are fine at assisting you to eliminate dust and dirt from your home, just a wet vac will help in removing fluid spills. Whether a flood in the basement or a glass of milk in the living room, a wet vac makes quick work of cleaning liquid messes.

Kinds of Wet Vacs

Wet vacuums come in all shapes and sizes. Small handheld units are excellent for picking up small kitchen messes. Large canister units which support 15 to 20 gallons of reclaimed liquid are best for cleaning up following a basement flood.

The Wet / Dry Vacuum

Popular in home workshops, wet/dry canister vacuums are flexible machines. As a vacuum, those units are great for picking up fine stuff, like sawdust and combined chemical powder, to heavy items like spilled nuts and bolts. By removing the internal dust filter, these units become serious water-removal vacuums. Many units come with attachments an distinct vacuum heads, like the squeegee mind for simpler water elimination on a hard floor vs the carpet extraction mind. Wet/dry vacuums come in a variety of capacities, from as small as 6x gallons to as big as 20 gallons.

Upright Units

Upright, carpet-cleaning machines create excellent water vacuums. Small and streamlined, these units hold 1 to 2 liters of pulled fluid in carpets and store easily in your distribution closet when not in use. To use your carpet-cleaning machine as a water vacuum, then turn on the vacuum motors only.

Upholstery Attachement

While cleaning up water is frequently thought of as a flooring task, spills and pet accidents take place on furniture, as well. Canister models which have a detail tool for tight spaces may extract fluid in a sofa cushion. Many upright machines comprise upholstery attachments that quickly connect to the main vacuum unit. Hand-held wet vacuums are ready for tight spaces, like between cushions, where fluid spills may hide.
