I have 13 vacuum cleaning tips to share with you!  A few things to help you clean faster, deodorize, and take care of your vacuum cleaner.

Clean Your Vacuum Roller –

Rollers get hair, strings, and other things caught around them.

When you’re done cleaning, cut the strings with a scissors.

Next, pull them right off your roller.

Baking soda is a great deodorizer. Sprinkle it onto your carpet and let it stand for 30 minutes.

Once the time has past, vacuum as usual.

No need for chemicals and special cloths when it comes to dusting. Just add your brush attachment to your vacuum and suck up all of that dust.
