Buying a shop vacuum.

Finding the best wet vac for you.

Large and complex cleanup jobs will be easier to handle with a shop vac because these professional-grade vacuums are designed with powerful suction capabilities that tackle various surfaces and debris types efficiently. Even though there are some models that look like home upright vacuums, most shop vacs resemble a more heavy-duty version of a canister vacuum.

Wet vac technology is useful in a couple of ways. First, it allows wet vacs to handle spills, debris and dirt involving liquids. It can also be used as part of a washing routine to suction up soap and water. Mimicking the functionality of a steam mop, some wet vacs even include mop settings.

A shop vac is a lot like a traditional vacuum, but with increased suction power and capacity. Thanks to a high capacity, you can vacuum up a lot of debris before having to empty the vacuum. Moreso, most shop vac models will also give you an array of attachments so that you can address a range of areas and issues. And for extra portability, a cordless shop vac can cover more ground than traditional wired floor cleaners.

Benefits of a wet/dry vac.

While traditional vacuums are meant for general cleanup of your home’s wood, tile and carpeted floor surfaces, commercial and garage vacuums, like many wet/dry shop vacs, are ideal for heavy-duty messes that involve water and debris. Not only does the wet/dry vacuum design keep the filter free of liquid, but it can also handle picking up larger waste, like screws and bits of wood left over from projects.

For deep cleaning carpet and upholstery, you can of course use a traditional carpet cleaner, which soaps and steams your floor. However, a wet/dry shop vac can help you out in a pinch if you want to pull liquid, soap or floor cleaning solution out of fabric after shampooing it.

If you are using a shop vacuum to handle the spill from a leak, be sure to check out dehumidifiers and fans as well since you may need to remove moisture from the area in more ways than one to prevent mold and mildew. Meanwhile, for daily maintenance vacuuming, consider the benefits of new vacuum technology to streamline your cleaning routine and achieve superior results with minimal effort.
