Wet vacuum cleaners

Find wet vacuum cleaners for everyday cleaning jobs 

A wet vacuum cleaner makes it easier to deal with everyday messes around the home, garage, or workshop. It can handle liquids, dust, and larger debris that a standard vacuum struggles with. Whether it’s muddy footprints, a spilt bucket of water, or sawdust from a DIY project, a wet vacuum cleaner saves time and effort in the cleaning process. At Biltema, you’ll find models in different sizes and strengths, so you can choose one that fits the jobs you need it for. 

What is a wet vacuum cleaner? 

A wet vacuum cleaner is a type of vacuum designed to handle both liquids and dry debris. Unlike standard vacuums, it can safely suck up water, mud, and other wet messes without damaging the machine. Many models can also pick up dust, dirt, and larger particles, making them useful in garages, workshops, and for bigger cleaning tasks around the home. 

Wet vacuum cleaner vs normal vacuum cleaner – what's the difference? 

A wet vacuum cleaner is designed to handle both liquids and dry debris, whereas a standard vacuum cleaner is specifically made for dry dirt, dust, and crumbs. That makes wet vacuums more versatile and ideal for cleaning up spilt water, damp floors, or even after DIY jobs. 

Wet vacuum cleaners usually have strong suction, a robust build, and a separate tank for liquids. They're great for garages, basements, workshops, and homes where mess isn’t just dry dust. Normal vacuums, on the other hand, are typically lighter and more suited for regular household cleaning, like carpets and hard floors. 

A range of sizes and power options 

Some jobs only need a small, handy wet vacuum cleaner, while others call for a stronger machine that can handle large spills and hours of use without stopping. At Biltema, you’ll find wet vacuums in several tank sizes and power levels, so you can pick the one that matches your cleaning needs. 

The selection includes compact models that are easy to carry and store, as well as larger units with higher capacity and stronger suction for regular or heavy use. Most wet vacuums from Biltema come with practical accessories such as a sturdy vacuum unit, metal extension tubes, a 1.5-metre hose, and several nozzles for different surfaces. A filter for both wet and dry vacuuming is typically included, along with an adapter for the nozzle set. 

Accessories and cleaning tools for your wet vacuum cleaners 

With the right accessories, you can keep your wet vacuum cleaners efficient and ready for many different cleaning tasks. At Biltema, we stock a wide range of parts and filters to help you maintain performance and adapt your vacuum to new jobs. 

To get the best use out of your wet vacuum cleaner, it helps to have the right accessories and filters available. At Biltema, you’ll find a selection of parts designed to fit different models and cleaning needs. The range includes step adapters, which allow you to connect various hoses, nozzles, and tools – useful when switching between different cleaning tasks. 

You’ll also find a selection of filters in our range, including HEPA filters, mesh filters, textile filters, and air filters. Regular cleaning or replacement of filters is recommended to keep your vacuum working efficiently. 

You can always check the product details or packaging to make sure the accessories and filters are compatible with your specific model. With the right combination of filters and adaptors, you can get more out of your wet vacuum cleaner. Whether you need to switch between wet and dry cleaning, improve dust collection, or simply keep the motor protected, these accessories make it easier to do the job properly without unnecessary wear on the machine. 

Use the correct filter for the job 

For best performance and to protect the vacuum cleaner, it's important to use a wet filter for wet vacuuming and a dry filter for dry vacuuming. Using the wrong type of filter can reduce suction, cause blockages, or damage the machine. Always check which filter is fitted before starting the job. 

How to maintain your wet vacuum cleaner  

To keep your wet vacuum cleaner working properly, it’s important to clean and maintain it after each use. Start by emptying both the dry and wet tanks, and rinse them thoroughly to prevent build-up or bad odours. Check the filters regularly – if they're washable, rinse and dry them before putting them back. Hoses and attachments should also be cleaned to avoid blockages. Let all parts dry fully before reassembling to prevent mould. Inspect the suction and wheels occasionally for dirt or wear. 

Do not use the wet vacuum cleaner to pick up hot materials such as ash, embers, or cigarettes. Avoid using the vacuum to collect flammable, explosive, or corrosive liquids, as well as any health-hazardous dust such as asbestos. Using the machine for these types of materials can cause serious damage and pose a risk to health and safety.
