Thomas Twin T2: test vacuum cleaner in the car showroom and in the kitchen

One weekend we went to the cottage, got stuck in a huge puddle, pushed the car, got dirty… The car was covered from the wheels to the hood. Everything looks great now externally, the car wash washed the car, even polished. But inside..

The mats are dirty – it’s scary to look at, the upholstery on the seats – not better. In addition to dirt shine also juice and ice cream stains ..

And then my eye fell on the Thomas Twin T2, which I was given for testing in the newsroom. Wouldn’t it help with the dirt in the cabin? My husband was not particularly happy about the idea: Thomas does not look like a mobile vacuum cleaner after all. But I talked him into it..

Conclusions: Thomas replaces the dry cleaner

Home appliances

Thomas Twin T2 is quite suitable for general cleaning not only in the living room or kitchen, but also in the car interior.

Of course, just to collect dust from the seats and floor is more convenient to use cordless devices, but if the car is very dirty, a vacuum cleaner is the only helper in this case.

I used it to clean the rubber mats very well, but the seats in a small car are problematic, because Thomas Twin T2 is a big enough vacuum cleaner, and I have to use only the tube with attachments in the cabin, and this requires a certain amount of skill. But if the job is serious, to get the stains and dirt off the seats, it’s well worth the effort, Thomas can help.

Let’s test it and wash the mats

Large appliances for the kitchen

My plan for the test at the dealership was to take the mats out of the car and clean them properly with a vacuum cleaner. This is exactly the advantage of the Thomas Twin T2: it can clean the mats from the dirt, I don’t have to Dollars them with a powder rag, which I’m very happy about.

So, we laid the mats out on the pavement outside the garage, shaking them off beforehand. It is very convenient that Thomasa has a long mains cord – 8 meters, so I can clean not in the dark garage, but next to it. I filled a container with the specialized Thomas Protex detergent, attached the dual nozzle for wet mopping, and proceeded to wash – the test will be natural .

It took me less than a quarter of an hour to thoroughly clean one mat, and I took my time. If I’d used a rag, I would have to wash the mats in water and powder, and then rinse them off the powder, to make sure there are no streaks. And with Thomas there are no streaks on the mats after the wash, they are as good as new after cleaning.

Cleaning the seats during the test

Big appliances for the kitchen

The seats were a bit hard to clean during the test. Of course, the specialized dimensions of a vacuum cleaner in this case made it difficult: there would be no room left if I put the Thomas in the passenger compartment.

I decided to place it near the car, in front of the door of the car. I can not say that it was very convenient, but there was no way out: the upholstery should be cleaned from the dirt and juice, and a regular vacuum cleaner does not help me, it needs a washing machine.

The dirt I cleaned with a dry brush at first, but I can’t get rid of it completely. So I changed the wet-cleaning attachment for upholstered furniture and got to work. The upholstery got rid of the dirt very quickly but the sap wouldn’t let go. What do they make them out of??

I had to unplug the vacuum cleaner and get my hands on a sponge with detergent. I gave the stain a good soaping. And now, Thomas has really helped me, because a dry vacuum cleaner doesn’t pick up wet soapy water, and the washing machine is not afraid of water.

During the test, I repeatedly spritzed the upholstery with water by pushing down on the special lever on the tube, and again and again I vacuumed up the dirty detergent solution. I literally washed the upholstery, acting as a mobile washing machine with a vacuum cleaner.

When I finally succeeded with the soap, I had to use the vacuum cleaner as a dryer. I just took the nozzle off, put the hole in the tube against the sofa upholstery, and Thomas obediently picked up the rest of the moisture.

I can’t say that I 100% dried the seat, it was still wet, but it wasn’t. In principle, in such a situation, another household appliance can help: a regular hair dryer, but there was no rush, overnight the seat could well dry itself.

High altitude test: wash the window on the fifth floor, almost where the moon is

Thomas

I’m afraid of heights, but I have windows to clean. I usually used a special attachment I put on a mop stick. I can’t say that I was very impressed with the cleaning results: sometimes there were streaks on the glass, and they were especially visible when the sun was shining through the window, but my fear of heights overcomes my desire to see immaculately clean glass. All the more interesting to see how a window can be cleaned by a Thomas Twin T2.

The instructions are pretty skimpy on how to clean windows with a vacuum cleaner: “Put on the glass cleaning adapter, attach a window cleaning cloth gray to the bar. With a device like this, you can wash and dry your windows and glass surfaces in one step.

And so I did. Of course, I also had to make the telescopic pipe a little shorter to make it easier to clean the windows up and down. I turned on the vacuum cleaner and the pump and started cleaning the window from top to bottom.

You can’t say it all happened at once, every device takes some getting used to. I first misregulated the water flow: turned it to maximum, while I should have turned it to minimum, so that the window was not very wet.

I had to take a napkin and Dollars the glass to dry it out. I had a different approach to cleaning the second window: I turned down the water pressure and got hold of a window cleaner. First I sprayed detergent on the glass, and then I picked up the vacuum cleaner, turned it on and started cleaning. After 5 minutes, the glass is clear and crisp.

The adapter washes away all traces and completes the test

Thomas TWIN t2 Vacuum Cleaner

After all the hard problems, cleaning ceramic tiles in the kitchen is an easy task for a handyman like the Thomas Twin T2. I just put the adapter for hard floors on the spray nozzle for carpet cleaning and fixed the slide.

It’s better to use THOMAS ProFloor solution, a concentrated detergent, to clean tiles. Washing ceramic tiles with a wet vac is a pleasure!

The nozzle slides easily across the floor and the tiles are clean and shiny in front of your eyes. The work is so exciting that the vacuum cleaner was in my hands for just a couple of minutes: the kids were happy to continue cleaning, literally snatching the hose from each other.

Anyway, a quarter of an hour later, the kitchen was shiny and the kids went to vacuum the bathroom, and without me reminding them.
