I've questioned before if the vac is the most potentially dangerous tool we all bring in a house

is this strictly concerning non-hepa vacs, or all?

 

[Guest]

it won't matter if you don't sanitize the roll brush, Chris
regardless of filtration, creepy crawlers can be on the roll brush and spread that way

The IICRC better seriously reconsider this dangerous practice!

Here is a link to the vacuum report:

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/ ... 9#27696499

At the end of the report, the reporter clearly states that "experts" DO NOT recommend that anyone should stop vacuuming as it "helps remove many bad contaminants and allergens from your home." She also mentions a few things that can help slow cross contamination: a HEPA filter, disposable refuse bags, and microbial bristles. Having a vacuum that incorporates these elements would probably be a good response to this issue.
