We would perhaps avoid cleaning silk or very delicate materials with your George – but we don’t foresee you having much of that lying around with your soft furnishings. Converting it into hard floor mode, which pushes a brush out from around the outside edge of the floor head, is done with a pair of clips on the top. If you are really struggling with allergies, the HEPA filtration system used by the entire Henry range should help you out. When it comes to detail cleaning, the Crevice Tool is perfect for getting into all those nooks and crannies and the Dusting Tool is ideal for delicate surfaces, like shelves, ornaments and picture frames. The dusting tool is a real standout attachment, complete with long, soft bristles for collecting dust while posing no scratch risk, even on delicate surfaces like polished wood and glass.

The combination of our highly efficient Twinflo' bypass vacuum motor and our powerflo' pump system provides you with professional cleaning standards, anytime, anywhere, ensuring exceptional results. As he isn’t the lightest machine to move around, being able to leave George at the bottom of the stairs whilst you clean is a helpful bonus. That nearly 27 metres of allowance in reach lets you plug in at the door and vacuum out the car in the driveway. If you think about how a regular mop and bucket works, you can see how the same dirty water is swilled around with the clean water.Tools included: mattress nozzle, crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle, dusting brush, combination floor nozzle. The George features both a wet vacuuming function (it can supposedly unblock a blocked sink in a pinch) and a shampooing feature to offer much deeper cleaning. Used in wet mode, George's Dual Scrub Floor Tool tackles hard floor cleaning with ease and when it comes to carpet and spot cleaning, his Wash Kit gives you everything you need to achieve pro results every time.

George revives and refreshes all your carpets, upholstery, rugs and more so they’re clean, hygienic and like-new. Simply set the brushes up for carpets and down for hard-floors, and you’ll achieve powerful results in either mode. It has extra weight when it has water in, it has extra weight because the bag is soaked – there are all sorts of reasons it weighs that little bit more, and all of them are good. Making George ready for wet tasks is a simple matter of exchanging the conventional dry filter for the supplied safety float valve.He also is the only vacuum in the Numatic range that has a shampoo facility, so if you want a carpet cleaner as well as a hard floor wet vacuum cleaner, George is a great option. You should get four bags with George and they are large and built to last, so you shouldn’t need to replace them very often. The moral of the story here is that you shouldn’t accept anything less than a proper, marked, distinguished HEPA filter if you have allergies. They rely solely on powerful suction, without the carpet agitating roller you usually find on most modern models. You spray the carpet and drag the funnel along, agitating the carpet manually and sucking the water back out as you go.

Unlike many mop and steam cleaners which don’t separate clean and dirty water, George has a clean water tank complete with detergent but then sucks up the water from the floor into a dirty water tank, leaving the floors clean and also dry. I have to admit that I wasn’t particularly expecting this to be as good as it is, but it did a grand job of washing everything I put in its way. Suitable for both wet and dry cleaning, you can use the cleaner in a manner that suits you, allowing for a greater level of cleanliness. It isn’t the same as scrubbing the pile with a rotating brush, but it seemed to add enough agitation to get the job done.

Just like with hard floors, you just fill the clean water tank with fresh water and detergent, and allow George to do this thing.
