Are you using the vacuum cleaner correctly
When you get your new vacuum, you'll probably be happy to see all the fancy accessories. Your vacuum cleaner sucks dust from every nook and cranny in your home. But are you using the accessories correctly to get the most out of them? The experts at Vacuum Cleaner 360 - the top vacuum sales and vacuum repair shop serving Spanish Fork and the surrounding area - would like to explain to you in detail how each attachment works so that you can take full advantage of your vacuum cleaner's potential.
Bare Floor Attachments: When we think of vacuums, we think of carpets, but just as often, we vacuum wood, tile, and linoleum floors. To protect these floors from scratches, the floor attachment is equipped with a soft brush. This brush should be cleaned from time to time to prevent it from becoming clogged with dust and debris.
If most of the floors in your home are bare, consider investing in a wider bare floor attachment to save time pushing the vacuum back and forth. However, if you have a lot of furniture -- even if you have a lot of square footage -- a smaller bare-floor attachment might be a better option, since you can move it around the table and chair legs more easily.
That's why it's important to get a quality bare floor attachment that can easily swivel and swivel so you can get around obstacles in your home. You don't want a dusty spot on the floor and you don't want your furniture legs all smashed.
Upholstered Attachment: This looks like a small floor attachment and is often used for vacuuming upholstered chairs, sofas, and other furniture—even quilted headboards. Not only did they vacuum the pads, but they also vacuumed the bottom of the pads, as this area seems to be a magnet for dust and other debris.
Some upholstery attachments come with a detachable fine brush that helps agitate the fabric better to remove more debris than bare plastic, while for other kits the attachment with the brush is a separate part .
Although some vacuum cleaner companies make special pet hair removal tools, decorative attachments with brushes are especially helpful for pet hair. The success of these tools sometimes depends on the type of pet hair you are removing.
This is also the tool you should use for vacuuming curtains and drapes. However, if the fabric is thin, you may need to lower the suction, or you may accidentally suck the fabric into the vacuum, which may wrinkle or damage the fabric.
Dusting Attachment: This attachment is usually round and comes with a coarse brush to protect your furniture from scratches. It's great on flat surfaces like desks and dressers, but it saves dust on picture frames and knickknacks.
Use a dusting attachment with an extender to remove cobwebs from ceilings and dust from light fixtures. Remember to clean this brush from time to time.
When you use this tool, think about how superior it is to a rag or, worse, a feather duster, because these "tools" just move the dust off one surface so it can land on the other. Your vacuum cleaner picks up dust and deposits it in the vacuum cleaner bag.
Crevice Tool: Everyone loves to use the crevice tool to remove debris from the crevices of keyboards and cars. Other handy uses for this tool include cleaning dryer vents, home heating vents, refrigerator coils, cabinets and window frames. Tell us what else you do with crevice tools and we'll spread the word to our customers!
Keep in mind that this tool usually doesn't have a brush or soft edges, so be careful not to get too close to surfaces that might scratch.
Extender tools: Extenders are usually metal tubes of varying lengths that are used to extend your reach as you vacuum. They can get you into corners, high ceilings, under beds and other awkward places.
Remember, the farther your tool is from the vacuum motor, the less suction it has. So resist the temptation to buy a long extension hose or tube with high expectations.
