| ORECK’S GUIDE TO AN EFFORTLESS SPRING CLEAN | ||
|
It may seem like a lifetime away but Spring will be with us before we know it and what better way to chase away those winter blues than a good old fashioned spring clean? As with any big task, help is always appreciated. For over 40 years, home cleaning specialist, Oreck has been taking the strain of spring cleaning in households across the world. Here are a few suggestions to save you time, energy and money. Tackling big areas: An Oreck upright vacuum cleaner makes light work of any large area and uses up to three times less energy than most other uprights. Great results are ensured thanks to the combination of deep-cleaning roller brush that loosens dirt and restores your carpet, its top fill system that maintains optimum suction, its light weight – half that of most competitor models – and easy move design, which reduces the amount of time and energy used whilst cleaning. The unique Helping Hand"℠reduces strain to wrists and arms and an extra long 30 foot cable helps you move effortlessly from room to room with ease. Shown left is the XL10 model, which comes with a 10-year warranty and a deluxe portable multi-vac and complete set of tools. Oreck Top Tip: To naturally freshen rugs and carpets and eliminate musty stale air caused by pets, smoke and cooking, try the Natural Crystal Carpet & Room Freshener. Small and hard to reach places: When it comes to tricky nooks and crannies, the Oreck Deluxe portable Multi-Vac (right) really does come into its own, with its powerful suction and selection of tools, cleaning around awkward coving and skirting boards, blinds, curtains and stairs has never been easier. It also has HEPA filtration and a 3-year warranty, and can be purchased separately for £130+p&p. The final touch: Make sure the air in your home is clean and fresh all day, every day with the Oreck®air 600 air purifier. Using a special 6 stage purification process, it takes stale air from around the room, cleans and purifies it before sending fresh air back into the room. Oreck®air 600 removes 95% of all particles from the air including dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses and smoke, and is quiet enough to use in the bedroom. Oreck Top Tip: Vacuuming regularly with a high filtration level machine and/or using an air purifier will reduce the amount of dusting required and save you time and energy. Cleaning products complete the Oreck range to ensure that your home always looks and smells at its best, all with the minimum of effort. Essential cleaning products: Spot Clean Pack – All your stain and spot removal needs in one useful pack. Suitable for carpets, upholstery, vinyl and laminate floors.

| Make Do and Mend, the Oreck way | ||
|
“Make Do and Mend” is a phrase often heard these days. We are all aware of the impact that the economic situation has on our day to day lives and with true British grit and determination we knuckle down and make the most of what we have got; we make do and mend. When the chips are down we look more closely at the quality of service we receive, hunting out those companies who offer the best complete package; like home cleaning specialist Oreck. For over 45 years Oreck has been offering the very best service to its customers. Each of its renowned XL upright cleaners comes with a free worry-free guarantee ranging between three and ten years. Prices range from £299 for the XL3 model, to £429 for the XL10 version with a 10 year guarantee. Oreck vacuum cleaners are built to last, to be maintained and serviced rather than replaced. Existing customers are often proud of the age of their vacuum and many are passed down from generation to generation. This sits well with our national conscience and our desire to “make do and mend” rather than discard and replace. Oreck also sells servicing kits so that services can be undertaken at home, keeping the vacuum in tip top condition and preserving its useful life. Of course there are plenty of other great reasons why Oreck should be the first choice for house proud homeowners. The unique brush roll digs dirt from deep inside carpet, prolonging its life. Gold standard performance thanks to its innovative top fill system. Durable and built to last. Lighter than all main competitors at only 9lbs. Energy usage is up to 3 times lower than most competitors. Powerful filtration without the need to change filters offers extra peace of mind for allergy and asthma sufferers. A portable multi-vac accompanies each XL upright cleaner to complete the Oreck dual cleaning system. With a 3 year guarantee, it makes light work of troublesome tasks from stairs to cars, edges to upholstery. Excellent customer service and peace-of-mind guarantees extend to all Oreck electrical products including the new Oreck®air 600 air purifier, which costs £239 and has a 2 year guarantee. posted: 14th September 2009 |

| PUTTING THE ECO INTO ORECK | ||
|
Oreck has been designing the very best vacuum cleaners for over 40 years. Performance and ease of use are words regularly associated with the Oreck name but there is more to the cleaning range than meets the eye. From the early days, Oreck has focused on providing design solutions for the people who use its products and for the world that they live in. The lightweight design and ergonomic handle reduce strain on the body an make vacuuming easier and quicker. The New Oreck range of XL upright vacuum cleaners is also environmentally sound: Low energy usage – Oreck XL vacuum cleaners use between 350 and 400 watts compared with an industry norm of between 1600 and 2000 watts. The special brush roll design, combined with the light weight of the vacuum, ensures a powerful clean is achieved without having to resort just to suction and a high wattage motor. Performance is still guaranteed thanks to the innovative top fill system. Dirt goes into the top of the bag, not the bottom as in most cleaners, which means that the Oreck doesn’t waste power pushing up yesterday’s dirt to make room for the new debris. Made to last - All Oreck XL vacuum cleaners are built to last. So much so that Oreck has introduced its first ever vacuum with a 10 year warranty (shown left). In the unlikely event of something going wrong, XL vacuums are easily repairable rather than needing to be replaced, thereby minimising impact on the environment. Less waste – Simple styling means that non-recyclable materials are kept to a minimum and that no unnecessary plastic or packaging is used. The Oreck XL dual cleaning system starts from £299. The top of the range XL10 system costs £429 and has a 10 year warranty And it’s not just the vacuum cleaners that care: The OreckAir Purifier uses less energy than a normal household light bulb and is almost silent, so no noise pollution either. And who could forget Oreck’s range of carpet and floor sweepers? They are absolutely free to run and generate no noise pollution! So for effective cleaning with conscience, consider Oreck. posted: 17th June 2009 |

| ORECK®AIR - IMPROVE THE AIR QUALITY IN YOUR HOME | ||
|
We all understand the importance of looking after our health and well being. We are drinking more bottled water, eating healthily and taking regular exercise but we seldom think about the importance of breathing in clean air. Influential bodies are increasingly advocating the use of an air purifier to maintain a healthier home. Around 30% of the UK population is affected by hay fever, nearly 10 million people suffer from asthma or allergies, and all of us are exposed to pollution from transport, and industry in our day-to-day lives. The new Oreck®Air 600 air purifier from home cleaning expert Oreck (available July 2009), offers a stylish and effective solution. It uses a six-stage purification process to clean the air in our homes; drawing in dirty air, cleaning it of dust, allergens, bacteria, viruses and pollutants before distributing freshly cleaned air back into the room. It removes unpleasant household odours, reducing the need to use scented aerosols, which in most cases only mask the odour. Its sleek, compact appearance allows Oreck®Air 600 to slot into any room scheme whilst ‘Silence Technology™ means it can hardly be heard. At £239 plus p&p and with a two year parts and labour warranty, it really is a great investment for your family’s health. Need more convincing? Consider this, by using the Oreck®Air 600 air quality in the room will improve and the need to dust will be reduced, cutting time spent on housework. A permanent, washable filter saves on running costs and the complete unit costs less to run than a 75 watt light bulb. One final thought. We spend approximately 90% of our time indoors where the air, affected by chemicals used in furniture and carpet manufacture, cleaning products, cooking and heating fuels, can be more polluted than outdoor air. Add to this the fact that with each breath, we take in around 1 pint of air, that’s 2,000 gallons per day, and you begin to see why the Oreck®Air 600 air purifier really can help everyone to enjoy a cleaner, healthier home environment. posted: 17th June 2009 |

| Oreck Premiers a New Dual Cleaning Range | ||
|
Oreck has been designing and manufacturing powerful yet lightweight vacuum cleaners for over 40 years. From the very beginning Oreck’s intent has been simple, to provide outstanding performance combined with ease of use. 2009 sees this concept updated with three brand new models. Bursting with new style yet encompassing renowned Oreck features, the dual vacuum combination helps cut cleaning time right down. Two separate lightweight vacuums make up the perfect pairing; an upright for all floor surfaces and a hand-held cylinder vac for upholstery, hard to reach areas and car interiors. The Oreck promise of quality design has also been brought to a new level with the introduction of its very first 10-year warranty upright cleaner, XL10 (£399 left), giving your home the red carpet treatment year after year! The new upright models from Oreck are all powerful performers. The XL3 (£279), XL5 (£329) and XL10 automatically adjust to clean any floor surface with spotless results. Direct suction combined with a unique roller brush design ensure these star performers use less energy, making electrical running costs up to 3 times less than many competitors. Powerful filtration is still a key feature of the Oreck range, offering extra protection to allergy sufferers and pet owners by locking away dust mites and allergens down to 0.3 microns. In addition, automatic sealing dust bags mean that the homeowner never comes into contact with the dirt they have just cleaned up! With cleanliness and hygiene being a foremost concern, the new Oreck range sees the introduction of an Antibacterial Shield to provide continuous protection against bacteria and fungal growth that can cause odours and fouling of the vacuum cleaner. The hand-held cylinder vac and its extensive range of tools completes the dual system. Cobwebs, nooks and crannies, delicate or electrical items can all be vacuumed clean, keeping dust levels in your home to a minimum. The Deluxe hand-held cylinder vac (only available as part of the XL10 system) even has HEPA filtration to give allergy suffers and pet owners added protection. posted: 17th June 2009 |

Oreck, the UK’s leading home-cleaning specialist, has been working over 40 years to deliver innovative, fast and effective cleaning solutions for your home. Oreck understands how much we Brits love our animals and this year has really focused on helping pet owners find cleaning solutions for their homes. Oreck is delighted to introduce its latest cleaning accessory to dog owners throughout Britain; the Vac Groom £9.95 + p&p. We all know that “man’s best friend is his dog” but wouldn’t it be lovely to cut down on the time needed for grooming and vacuuming up after them? Michael Slavin invented Vac Groom when searching for a way of eliminating dog hairs from around the home. His passion for breeding German Shepherd dogs wasn’t appreciated by his wife who liked a tidy home! Michael came up with this simple yet effective grooming concept. The Vac groom is a unique tool that is designed to neatly attach to the end of most round vacuum hoses. As you groom, moulting hair is sucked straight into the vacuum bag, leaving your dog looking sleek and maintaining a clean home. posted: 30th June 2008 |

| HELPING KEEPING YOUR HOME CLEAN AND HEALTHY | ||
|
Oreck, the home cleaning specialist, has over 50 years experience in offering effective solutions to modern day living. One of the greatest challenges we face in the 21st Century is the prevalence of allergies. In the UK alone nearly 10 million suffer from asthma, hay fever and other allergic reactions. Oreck is constantly researching and developing products that can help improve our daily lives and is keen to support National Allergy Week (19 – 23 May 2008). Many of us are mindful about the allergic triggers outdoors but do not realise that the air in our homes can be up to 5 times more polluted than outside air. Oreck has a number of products that will act speedily to help reduce allergens in the home. Regular vacuuming is the most effective way to reduce the amount of allergens, pet dander and dust mite build up on floor surfaces. Using an Oreck XL upright vacuum and Compact Canister will allow you to do so with ease. Known for their excellent performance, the XL upright range can help improve the lives of allergy sufferers. Some of the unique advantages of the range include: A 7-stage filtration system, which traps over 99.99% of all particles down to 0.3 microns. The Sani-Seal™bag closure system keeps all dirt, pet dander, dust mites and allergens in the bag as its removed from the cleaner for easy clean disposal. They are lightweight, weighing less than half the weight of other upright competitors. Low energy usage – Combiation of unique roller brush and top load suction ensures that minimum energy is used to deliver great performance. Prices start from £299 + p&p with a minimum 3 years parts and labour warranty and a free handy Canister Cleaner for vacuuming upholstery, above the floor cleaning and those hard to reach spots and PinkVac (shown above right) supports Breast Cancer Care by donating £30 for every model sold. …/2 -2- For top of the range cleaning, the Oreck XL7 brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise. It is HEPA rated and designed to trap 99.999% of all particles including dust, pollen, dust mites and pet dander. A great quality product with 7-year parts and labour warranty means that it represents excellent value for money. The Oreck XL7 costs £429 + p&p. For more information, handy tips and great offers, readers can call 0800 684 684 or visit www.oreck.co.uk. HANDY TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS AT ORECK Mould spores appear in moist areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. To help remove moisture use Alanite Crystals (£9.95) to absorb odours as well as moisture which remains trapped until the crystals are recharged in sunlight. Once regenerated in sunlight the crystals can be used again and again. To control the amount of dust build up and number of dust mites in your home regular dusting of surfaces is important. By using a duster that is electrostatically charged, such as Oreck Micro Fibre Cloths (£12.95 for a pack of 4) or our new Ostrich Feather Duster (£12.95), the dust will be attracted to the duster, preventing it from becoming airborne. posted: 10th April 2008 |

Throughout the month of July, in addition to a 10% discount across all upright cleaners, canister cleaners and the multi-purpose Orbiter®, customers can also save £100 when buying two Oreck®air air purifiers. Oreck®air uses a special five-stage purification process to remove odour, dust, smoke and bacteria from our homes. Its sleek, compact appearance allows it to slot into any room scheme and thanks to Silence Technology® it can even be used in the bedroom. And if fresh, clean air in the home wasn’t enough reason to invest in Oreck®air, it also helps aid restful sleep and reduces the amount of time needed for dusting. An Oreck®air air purifier normally costs £189.95 plus p&p but for the month of July, you can buy two Oreck®air for £279.90 plus p&p – a saving of £100. For the past year, Oreck has been supporting Breast Cancer Care through sales of the PinkVac upright cleaner. PinkVac has the same hi-tech specification as the XL5 model but in a headline grabbing hot pink finish. For the first 50 people to order a PinkVac each month during the period July - September 2007, Oreck is reducing the price of the Pinkvac by £50 to £325 plus p&p and also increasing the donation to Breast Cancer Care to £50.

| PinkVac - Supporting Breast Cancer Care | ||
|
Oreck, the home cleaning specialist is delighted to confirm that it is continuing its support for Breast Cancer Care, the UK’s leading provider of breast cancer information and support, for the second year in a row. Last year, sales of the PinkVac raised £20,000 for Breast Cancer Care! For every model sold Oreck will donate £30, this is increased to £60 for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. The PinkVac costs £375 plus p&p, which includes a free compact canister with accessories worth £99. Not only does the PinkVac look good but it performs well too. Weighing only 4kg, it is extremely powerful yet easy to lift and use, removing any need to bend or strain. The extra long 30 foot cable and 10 litre patented bag means there are no interruptions whilst cleaning. In addition, the Celoc™ filtration system traps 99.995% of all airborne particles including dust, bacteria, dust mites and smoke while the top fill design prevents clogging to make cleaning easier. PinkVac also cares about the environment. Quality materials and a great warranty (5 years) mean that it is built to last longer, plus the ultra-efficient motor uses ⅔ less electricity than most best-selling models. From July - September 2007, Oreck are offering a £100 giveaway with PinkVac. The first 50 people to purchase a PinkVac each month will get £50 off, which Oreck will match with a £50 donation to Breast Cancer Care.

We all understand the importance of looking after our health and well being.

Influential bodies are increasingly advocating the use of an air purifier to maintain a healthier home.

Oreck, the leading home cleaning specialist, has introduced a product that it believes can improve the health and well being of millions of people. ORECK®AIR uses a special five-stage purification process; it draws in dirty air, cleans it and removes pollutants before distributing freshly cleaned air around the room. Its sleek, compact appearance allows it to slot into any room scheme whilst thanks to Silence Technology™ it can hardly be heard. At £189.95 plus p&p and with a two year parts and labour warranty, it really is a great investment for your family’s health.

Roll on the day when vacuum cleaners get an energy rating like fridges and washing machines. Until then, this little number from Oreck might be tempting, launched in a special-edition pink for October's Breast Cancer Awareness month. Its low-watt motor uses less energy than some of its rivals, yet it still does the business - the Good Housekeeping Institute has given it the thumbs up. It has a five-year warranty, always a plus in these times of disposable consumer goods and too much landfill. It costs £375, £60 of which goes to Breast Cancer Care if you buy it this month, £30 from November. posted: 3rd October 2006 |
