Forbes Ace. It's the prescription for the
right dose of power and style. Its Deep
Cleaning+ technology fights the
toughest dust and dirt. What's more, it
removes the dreaded, invisible, allergy
causing dust mites.
Dust mites are microscopic, health

in pill ows, mattresses, furniture,
carpets and even soft toys. These dust
mites cause common cold, runny

even see them. In fact, a single gram
of dust contains over 19,000 dust
mites.
But the smart, new Forbes Ace, with
Deep Cleaning+ technology, assures
you a dust mite free, healthy home. I
have also packed your ACE with a
number of unique features; each
specially designed so you can clean
your home faster and better.
As you read this manual, you will

can use your Forbes Ace. Now, you

Forbes Ace
for a healthy home
Most of us believe that a vacuum cleaner is meant only for cleaning the home, making it spotless and sparkling. But the Forbes
Ace does much more than that. It actually maintains a safe and healthy home. The Ace not only cleans but also ensures that
allergens are kept at manageable levels by removing dirt and fine dust. Thus, allergies from these sources are reduced as
much as possible.
Conventional vacuum cleaners suck up dirt and dust, only to release it back into the air of your
home. Also, their dust storage bags act as breeding grounds for the dust mites.
The unique air filtration process of the Forbes Ace Vacuum Cleaner ensures that the air expelled
Pure
fresh air
Tips on keeping your home healthy:
from the machine has passed through a 5-stage filtration process. Thus, only pure air is expelled
out. So, your Forbes Ace not only cleans the room, but filters the air as well!
Hot wash bed sheets, pillowcases and quilts in soapy water at least once every two weeks.
Vacuum mattresses with Forbes Ace regularly to pick up dead skin cells and dust mite faeces.
Vacuum floors regularly to ensure that there is no dust between tiles, etc.
Avoid using a feather duster for cleaning as it stirs up the dust. Instead, use a damp cloth to clean the furniture.
Vacuum upholstered furniture like sofas, couches at least once a week.

advantage
Why should you do this cleaning? - Dust mites, the hidden enemy.
What is a dust mite? - House dust mites are microscopic, eight-legged insects that belong to the spider and tick family
(Arachnid family). Their scientific name is Dermatophagoides, which means a skin eater. It feeds on animal material with high
protein content like dead human skin and moulds.
Where are they found? - Dust mites favour warm, humid climates. They thrive in your home, in your beds, pillows, upholstery,
curtains, carpets, etc. Basically in any fixture of your home that traps dust. In fact, a single gram of dust contains nearly 19,000
dust mites.
What do they thrive on? - They feed on human skin, fungi growing on the skin, moulds and household dust. Damp and humid
conditions provide an ideal breeding ground for dust mites. In fact, one gram of human skin can feed thousands of these dust
mites for months!
Why are dust mites dangerous? - They are carriers of allergens that cause runny noses, watery eyes, itchiness of the
skin leading to rashes. Given their small size (100-150 microns) they can be inhaled easily. They could even lead to
health threatening allergies like asthma.

MITE GUARD
This system ensures that the dust remains
in the vacuum cleaner and the expelled
air is clean.
Here, the air goes through a 5-stage
filtration system. The air passes through
the Particle Filter, the Fine Dust Filter and
finally through the three layered Micron
Filter. Making the air dust mite free and
therefore cleaner than the air that had
earlier entered the system.
MITE BUSTER
The Forbes Ace is a modern, hi-tech
solution to the problem of allergy causing
dust mites. The Forbes Ace's powerful
motor sucks in dirt and dust mites from
every nook and corner of your home, into
the Particle Filter.
To further protect your home from these
harmful dust mites, carry out the Mite
Buster Process soon after the completion
of vacuum cleaning and before disposing
the dust.
Connect the special Mite Buster Hose
between the suction end and the blower
end of the vacuum cleaner. Switch on
the Mite Buster. The harmful dust mites
will be inactivated by hot air generated
in the vacuum cleaner. The Mite Buster

Your Forbes Ace
can be put to many other other uses
Since I am a patient suffering from joint
pains, I could not clean my house on my
own. I always needed other’s help to clean
my house. It was a big problem when I had
to clean the shelves and ventilators which
need to be cleaned by standing on chairs.
Now, I have Euroclean in my hand, I can
remove the dust from any corner of my
house. It is also very useful to clean nonwashable rugs and carpets.
B Manjula, Shantinagar
Sunday midnight. No doctor - My wife was
suffering from pain in the back, legs,
thighs, waist, etc. I did not know what to
do. I just opened the cupboard to search for
a balm, but Euroclean caught my eye. I
used the hot air for a massaging action
and in half an hour my wife was sound
asleep.
D N Mukunda, Bangalore
It is so easy to starch cotton sarees with the
help of the blower of the Euroclean. Put the
revive powder diluted in water, add this
mixture in the spray jar and spray on the
saree. See how nicely the cotton saree gets
starched. When I tried this method it
worked out well.
Mangala Wagh, Mumbai
It was the first day of school after Diwali
vacation. My daughter's white canvas shoes
were not cleaned and had remained dusty.
Now, there was no time to wash and dry it.
Then we thought of the Euroclean and to
my surprise the shoes had regained their
whiteness and my daughter could wear
them to school.
Geethalaksmi R. Rao, Mumbai
It was on the occasion of my son’s birthday
party that my Euroclean served me the best.
The rooms were to be decorated with
balloons and it was really tiresome and
time consuming to blow balloons manually.
Just then I realised the blower end of
Euroclean could be used for this purpose
and within no time the room appeared nice
with colourful balloons. My son was
delighted at this.
Asim Kumar Sarkar, Kolkata
We have a huge green garden outside our
house. I am very fond of maintaining it. I
used to find it difficult to pick the small
leaves which fell on the grass making it
look dull. Once I tried my newly purchased
Euroclean to clean the garden. I tied it to
my back with the help of leather belts and
using the blower end could clean the
garden. From then onwards it has become
a regular maintenance tool for my garden.
