Washing with THOMAS – minimal effort for perfect cleanliness

How can you wash the floor quickly and easily? What’s the best way to clean carpets at home? How can you remove stains from parquet flooring? What’s the best method for cleaning stains from upholstered furniture? How can you enhance air quality in your home?

One simple solution to all these questions is to trust your cleaning needs to a THOMAS vacuum cleaner!

Wet carpet cleaning is the most effective method to achieve a truly clean carpet and restore it back to its fresh, original appearance. 

When using a standard “dry” vacuum cleaner on a carpet, we only remove dust and debris from the surface of the pile.

Water is essential for deep carpet cleaning. In the past, before the advent of washing vacuum cleaners, carpets were often cleaned in the snow during winter. Today, there are simpler and more effective methods for achieving a thorough clean.

During wet carpet cleaning with a THOMAS vacuum cleaner, liquid is sprayed onto the carpet through a special wide nozzle under pressure. Thanks to the high pressure and the nozzle’s pointed edge design, the THOMAS vacuum cleaner cleans the carpet across the entire pile length. This process raises and straightens the pile, making the carpet look almost new.

For enhanced cleaning and effective removal of various contaminants, use the THOMAS ProTex washing concentrate, which comes with the vacuum cleaner. Certified in Europe and the UAE., this hypoallergenic concentrate has no distinct odour. Just add 20 ml of ProTex to the clean water tank (at a ratio of 20 ml per 1 litre of water), and you’re ready to start a thorough carpet cleaning

A carpet or rug on the floor adds warmth and beauty to any room.

A major drawback of carpets and rugs is their tendency to trap dust and dirt, which a standard “dry” vacuum cleaner cannot fully address. While professional dry cleaning is an option, it’s costly and not always guaranteed to be high-quality or safe. Wet cleaning with a vacuum cleaner is a cost-effective alternative that revitalises your carpet and helps you breathe easier!

Wet vacuum washing upholstered furniture

We’ve all encountered the problem of unsightly stains on upholstered furniture, particularly on lighter fabrics. Even with careful maintenance, furniture can become discoloured and develop a greyish hue over time. Much like carpets, a “dry” vacuum cleaner, no matter how powerful, won’t restore furniture back to its original fresh appearance or effectively remove stains.

Consider whether shaking out clothes can replace washing them. “Of course not,” you’d say. The same principle applies to cleaning upholstered furniture: using only the dry cleaning function removes only the dirt and dust that can be lifted by airflow, leaving behind the smallest particles and stains. In contrast, the wet cleaning function injects water under pressure into the upholstery, dissolving dirt deposits more effectively. THOMAS triangular shape of the washing nozzle allows airflow to move parallel to the surface, carrying away the dirt with the sprayed water and preventing the furniture from becoming overly wet. After wet cleaning, the furniture dries completely in a short time.

Regular use of the washing function will significantly extend the lifespan of your upholstered furniture and effortlessly restore its fresh, new appearance.

Cleaning hard floors

All THOMAS washing vacuum cleaners are equipped with specialised nozzles for wet cleaning of various hard floor surfaces, including linoleum, tiles, stone, and in some models, even parquet and laminate. There is a common misconception that washing vacuum cleaners are unsuitable for parquet and laminate due to the risk of excessive moisture damaging these surfaces. However, the reality is quite the opposite: a high-quality washing vacuum cleaner can clean hard floors efficiently, quickly, and delicately, without causing damage.

The washing vacuum cleaner operates by spraying water under pressure onto the floor through a specialised nozzle. The vacuum then immediately extracts the water along with the dissolved dirt. As a result, the floor remains nearly dry! 

When used correctly, a vacuum cleaner eliminates the risk of excess moisture remaining on the floor after cleaning.

Hard floor coverings, especially parquet, require gentle care. To prevent damage to these delicate surfaces, vacuum cleaner nozzles for wet cleaning come with special adapters. These adapters feature a soft brush or microfiber cloth that enables delicate cleaning and effectively removes excess moisture, ensuring a thorough and safe clean.

Additionally, THOMAS has developed a specialised range of vacuum cleaners for parquet, including the Parkett Master XT, Parkett Prestige XT, and DryBox Amfibia. These models come with a standard wet cleaning nozzle and adapter, as well as the AquaStealth nozzle—an innovative tool designed specifically for cleaning parquet and laminate. This nozzle features a sole with water-dispensing holes and a soft microfiber pad attached to it. During cleaning, water is applied to the pad, which then gently cleans the floor. This method ensures that water never directly contacts the flooring, providing a safe and highly effective cleaning solution for parquet and laminate.

THOMAS ProFloor, the original washing concentrate, not only cleans hard floors but also leaves them looking beautiful and shiny while preventing further dirt buildup. Its formula contains synthetic wax, which forms an invisible protective layer on the floor’s surface, shielding it from dirt and giving it a fresh, renewed appearance. A washing vacuum cleaner ensures floors are cleaned thoroughly and quickly, leaving them spotless, dry, and gleaming like new

Parquet, laminate, and tiles are stylish, practical, and modern flooring choices that are easily maintained with THOMAS vacuum cleaners.

Now you see that a washing vacuum cleaner is an essential tool for your home.

Using a washing vacuum cleaner is straightforward and actually makes cleaning easier, which in turn simplifies your life. The key factor is the quality of the vacuum cleaner. THOMAS, a German company with years of experience, offers washing vacuum cleaners that are known for their reliability and durability. With such a wide range of models available, it’s impossible to cover them all in just one article. However, you’re sure to find a model that suits your needs and preferences.
