Cleaning your garage isn’t any fun. But the chore shouldn’t be made any harder with the wrong vacuum cleaner. The right vacuum system helps you clean up after each project, or even as you go. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the perfect vacuum system for your garage?
The wet/dry vac
This is always one of the most popular options, in people’s homes and shops everywhere in the world. Its versatility is always a big seller. Suck up wet or dry garbage into vacuum, dump out bucket, repeat.
Central vacuum systems
This has all the same advantages of having central vac in your home.
- No cords
- Deeper clean (in most cases)
- Less noise
- Large holding capacity.
According to Lewis Creations at Instructables.com, “For the longest time I wanted a central vacuum system in my garage. I build and tinker a lot in my garage. The one thing I hate is dragging the vacuum hose all over. So I finally decided to take the time and run some pipe in my garage”.
How to Install Central Vac in your garage
Ron Hazelton of ronhazelton.com provides a great video exploring how you can add this to your garage.
He added, “Homeowners will install a central vacuum system that is quieter, cleaner, and more convenient than conventional vacuum cleaners. The system includes a large power unit with muffler, a vacuum hose with power head, six vacuum outlets, and yards of PVC piping and fittings for a custom installation for this project”.
“The homeowners work jointly with a commercial installer to identify optimum locations for primary vertical piping runs and secondary runs that branch across the attic or basement and then pass through walls to reach target sites for vacuum outlets.”
