Vaccum Cleaner for Books
Respected forum members,
We urgently need one Vaccum Cleaner for cleaning the dust accumulated outside the book kept in book stores of our library.
While searching over Internet I found that any vacuum cleaner fitted with HEPA filter is good for cleaning books. HEPA is a type of air filter. HEPA means High-Efficiency Particulate Air. To qualify as HEPA by US government standards, an air filter must remove 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3 micrometre from the air that passes through. Though there are many in the list, by going through description, I found the following interesting
1) Atrix Omega Vacuum Cleaner: Affordable Model, For Books, Dusty Environment, Office use, With true certified HEPA or UlPA filter. The Price is $ 182.50.

Again, while searching others specific vacuum cleaners for cleaning books, I found the following
1) SHOP-VAC® BOOK STACK VACUUM CLEANER: It is unbreakable lightweight, portable vacuum with extra-large capacity filter bag and 18” cord. It includes 6 x 1 1/4" hose, 6" floor nozzle with rug and brush shoes, Shoulder strap, Crevice tool, Round brush, Accessory adapter, 20" extension wand, Starter pack of two filter bags, Measures 24 3/4"H x 11 1/2"W x 14 3/4"D, Uses 120 volt AC current, 1 Year Limited Warranty.
