Research has shown that at least one person in every three homes has some form of allergy or allergic reaction to common particles and microscopic organisms. The media reports a rise in environmental asthma. Outer vacuum cleaner bags utilizing Home Care Industries' high-efficiency Quintex^® material can go a long way in fighting these problems.

Before Quintex^®, the best material used for outer vacuum bags provided only 48.2% filtration efficiency at 0.1 micron. Quintex^® outperforms this material with a remarkable particle efficiency of 98% down to 0.1 micron. Laboratory tests prove that after vacuuming 100 grams of dust, the machine suction loss using Quintex^® outer bags is half that of a bag constructed with conventional material. Additionally, the dust capacity of a Quintex^® bag is double that of a conventional bag.

Vacuum cleaner bags constructed with Quintex^® filter dramatically better, removing most of the common indoor pollutants and irritants in the submicron particle range that are normally released back into the air during vacuuming. Quintex^® bags hold more dust than conventional bags and allow your vacuum cleaner to work more efficiently.

Quintex^® media is formed using a non-woven microfiber filter material, which is then laminated to a printed polyester knit. Quintex^® is available in many standard or custom designs and colors.

In soft-shelled vacuum cleaners, Quintex^® can be used as an outer jacket in conjunction with an inner paper bag or by itself in a "shake-out" application.
