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.
You’re vacuum is clean and ready to go.
Deodorize Your Carpet –
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.
Easy Dusting –
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.
Dust & Clean Art, Wall Hangings, Pictures. Light Switches, Thermostats, Doors, and more –
Use the brush attachment and vacuum off all the dust off of those items.
Clean Baseboards without Breaking Your Back –
Add the brush attachment to your hose or better yet the long neck of your vacuum cleaner and suck the dust right off of your baseboards.
Clean Lampshades –
Using the brush attachment, vacuum off your lampshades to keep them dust free.
Clean Insides of Glass Shades –
Using the brush attachment vacuum not only dust, but the bugs that sometimes fall inside those glass shades.
Find Lost Items –
Place a nylon or tight over the end of the hose and add a rubber band to secure it. Place your vacuum hose in the area, crease, hard to reach space where you lost your item. The vacuum sucks it up, and the nylon/tight holds it into place so you can grab it.
Clean Your Couch and Other Hard To Reach Places –
Use your crevice tool on your vacuum and easily clean under cushions, in between cracks, and get to hard to reach places.
