For parquet and wooden floors, a vacuum cleaner with a special attachment such as a parquet brush is the best choice. These brushes have soft, non-scratching bristles that are safe for delicate surfaces such as wood and ceramic tiles. The Miele Duoflex HX1, for example, automatically detects the type of floor you’re vacuuming and adjusts the suction power of the brush accordingly. These cordless stick vacuum cleaners provide a deep clean and help keep your delicate floors in optimal condition.

What to look out for when choosing a vacuum cleaner for parquet

It’s essential to know the characteristics of your parquet so you can choose the right accessories to prevent damage during cleaning. For hardwood floors, a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush is ideal. Do you have oiled parquet? Because this is more robust, you can use any vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a suitable brush. If your home has old parquet, choose a vacuum with microfibre accessories and set the suction power to the lowest setting. Choose a vacuum cleaner that is gentle on your parquet floor while still removing dirt and dust efficiently. Below you’ll find more information.

Enough suction power to vacuum gaps

Make sure your vacuum cleaner has enough suction power to remove dirt from the gaps and cracks in your parquet floor, where dust often builds up. However, it’s essential that you can easily adjust the suction power to prevent damage to your delicate floor.

The right nozzles and accessories

Choose a vacuum cleaner that has specially designed parquet nozzles, such as a soft brush nozzle that cleans thoroughly without leaving scratches. This is similar to using specific accessories such as a crevice tool or an upholstery nozzle, which also come in handy for vacuuming your car.
