| Autumn Cleaning Made Quick and Easy with the Oreck XL7 | ||
|
Its official, autumn is here and with it comes fallen leaves, rain and mud. At this time of year we would all rather spend our time relaxing in front of a warm cosy fire than cleaning up after the family and their soiled clothes, shoes and football boots. Do not fear, Oreck, the leading home cleaning specialist brings you the XL7, the ultimate in upright vacuum cleaners. The Oreck XL7 incorporates outstanding performance with ease of use and is available to buy through selected John Lewis stores, online at www.johnlewis.com as well as independent retailers across the UK and www.oreck.co.uk. The XL7 model is an exceptional upright vacuum cleaner, designed for ease of use and to help you reduce time spent cleaning; here are a few reasons why the Oreck XL7 is a top choice for John Lewis: It weighs only 4.3kg – ½ the weight of most other upright vacuums. It is easy to move around the home and to manoeuvre into tricky spaces thanks to its lightweight, Helping Hand® handle and its ability to lie totally flat. It cares for the environment: The XL7 is built to last, with a 7-year warranty, and its ultra-efficient motor uses a third less electricity than most competitor models. The unique brush roll and top filling design ensures a deep down clean from minimum effort whilst side brushes clean right up to the edges. HEPA filtration traps 99.999% of all allergens and dust particles down to 0.3 microns, including pollen, dust mites and smoke. Plus a hygienic self-sealing dust bag ensures that no dirt escapes. Microsweep™ technology allows the vacuum to adjust automatically as it moves from carpet to hard floors. Other features include a low profile cleaning head to reach under furniture, dirt seeking headlight and sidelight and a 30-foot cable (no need to keep changing plugs). Dual Cleaning System: The XL7 dual cleaning system includes an upright vacuum plus a Deluxe Compact Canister for all your other cleaning needs. Also light in weight, it comes with a shoulder strap for easy transportation around the home, powerful suction HEPA filtration, ideal for allergy sufferers and pet owners, and a full set of attachments including a floor, upholstery and dusting brushes, crevice tool and an extendable wand. posted: 10th October 2008 |

| Calling All Dog Owners – Put the Grr back into Grooming | ||
|
Oreck, the UK’s leading home-cleaning specialist, has been working over 40 years to deliver innovative, fast and effective cleaning solutions for your home. Oreck understands how much we Brits love our animals and this year has really focused on helping pet owners find cleaning solutions for their homes. Oreck is delighted to introduce its latest cleaning accessory to dog owners throughout Britain; the Vac Groom £9.95 + p&p. We all know that “man’s best friend is his dog” but wouldn’t it be lovely to cut down on the time needed for grooming and vacuuming up after them? Michael Slavin invented Vac Groom when searching for a way of eliminating dog hairs from around the home. His passion for breeding German Shepherd dogs wasn’t appreciated by his wife who liked a tidy home! Michael came up with this simple yet effective grooming concept. The Vac groom is a unique tool that is designed to neatly attach to the end of most round vacuum hoses. As you groom, moulting hair is sucked straight into the vacuum bag, leaving your dog looking sleek and maintaining a clean home. posted: 30th June 2008 |

| HELPING KEEPING YOUR HOME CLEAN AND HEALTHY | ||
|
Oreck, the home cleaning specialist, has over 50 years experience in offering effective solutions to modern day living. One of the greatest challenges we face in the 21st Century is the prevalence of allergies. In the UK alone nearly 10 million suffer from asthma, hay fever and other allergic reactions. Oreck is constantly researching and developing products that can help improve our daily lives and is keen to support National Allergy Week (19 – 23 May 2008). Many of us are mindful about the allergic triggers outdoors but do not realise that the air in our homes can be up to 5 times more polluted than outside air. Oreck has a number of products that will act speedily to help reduce allergens in the home. Regular vacuuming is the most effective way to reduce the amount of allergens, pet dander and dust mite build up on floor surfaces. Using an Oreck XL upright vacuum and Compact Canister will allow you to do so with ease. Known for their excellent performance, the XL upright range can help improve the lives of allergy sufferers. Some of the unique advantages of the range include: A 7-stage filtration system, which traps over 99.99% of all particles down to 0.3 microns. The Sani-Seal™bag closure system keeps all dirt, pet dander, dust mites and allergens in the bag as its removed from the cleaner for easy clean disposal. They are lightweight, weighing less than half the weight of other upright competitors. Low energy usage – Combiation of unique roller brush and top load suction ensures that minimum energy is used to deliver great performance. Prices start from £299 + p&p with a minimum 3 years parts and labour warranty and a free handy Canister Cleaner for vacuuming upholstery, above the floor cleaning and those hard to reach spots and PinkVac (shown above right) supports Breast Cancer Care by donating £30 for every model sold. …/2 -2- For top of the range cleaning, the Oreck XL7 brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise. It is HEPA rated and designed to trap 99.999% of all particles including dust, pollen, dust mites and pet dander. A great quality product with 7-year parts and labour warranty means that it represents excellent value for money. The Oreck XL7 costs £429 + p&p. For more information, handy tips and great offers, readers can call 0800 684 684 or visit www.oreck.co.uk. HANDY TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS AT ORECK Mould spores appear in moist areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. To help remove moisture use Alanite Crystals (£9.95) to absorb odours as well as moisture which remains trapped until the crystals are recharged in sunlight. Once regenerated in sunlight the crystals can be used again and again. To control the amount of dust build up and number of dust mites in your home regular dusting of surfaces is important. By using a duster that is electrostatically charged, such as Oreck Micro Fibre Cloths (£12.95 for a pack of 4) or our new Ostrich Feather Duster (£12.95), the dust will be attracted to the duster, preventing it from becoming airborne. posted: 10th April 2008 |

All around us flowers are springing up and the birds are building their nests yet our home still feels like it’s stuck with the winter blues. The annual spring clean is the tradition whereby we freshen up our homes, shake off that wintry feeling and give us a new beginning for the year ahead.

Small and hard to reach places: The Electrikbroom (£74.95 + p&p) cordless 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner, allows you to whizz around smaller spaces with ease.

We all understand the importance of looking after our health and well being.

Influential bodies are increasingly advocating the use of an air purifier to maintain a healthier home. Around 30% of the UK population is affected by hay fever, nearly 10 million people suffer from asthma or allergies, and all of us experience pollution from traffic and industry in our day-to-day lives. Oreck, the leading home cleaning specialist, has introduced a product that it believes can improve the health and well being of millions of people. ORECK®AIR uses a special five-stage purification process; it draws in dirty air, cleans it and removes pollutants before distributing freshly cleaned air around the room.

Roll on the day when vacuum cleaners get an energy rating like fridges and washing machines. Until then, this little number from Oreck might be tempting, launched in a special-edition pink for October's Breast Cancer Awareness month. Its low-watt motor uses less energy than some of its rivals, yet it still does the business - the Good Housekeeping Institute has given it the thumbs up. It has a five-year warranty, always a plus in these times of disposable consumer goods and too much landfill. It costs £375, £60 of which goes to Breast Cancer Care if you buy it this month, £30 from November.
