What's With Those Vacuum Cleaner Attachments Anyway

Author: Abigail Franks

There are many people who believe they clean their house well and never use the attachments that come with the vacuum cleaner. Even the most inexpensive vacuum comes with a general assortment of attachments for specific cleaning jobs. While some are for occasional use, others should be considered a critical part of your cleaning routine.

Vacuum Cleaner Attachments

The round brush is probably one of the most misused of all the vacuum attachments. Rather than being an orphan attachment, it should be the one most used. Consider the following housecleaning uses for the much-maligned round brush

1. Removing dust from lampshades. Lampshades are not overly expensive, but usually very delicate. They collect dust in the natural course of use and simply being in the home. The soft bristle round brush is perfect to vacuum not only the outside but the inside of the typical lampshade.
2. Picture frames are another item that seldom gets regularly cleaned. This is especially true of the more ornate picture frames. As the dirt and dust continued to settle on the picture and frame, it makes artwork look dull and lifeless. The round brush can easily keep even the most ornate of picture frames looking their best.
3. Baseboards are found along the perimeter of the walls throughout your home. Many have architectural designs that are perfect to catch dirt and dust. A once a month cleaning with the round brush is a perfect use for this special attachment.

3. Your refrigerator is much more energy efficient when the area is clean. A good idea is to occasionally use the long nozzle to clean out behind and to the side of your refrigerator. The less dirt and dust around the fridge, the less makes its way onto the condenser coils making the unit work much harder.

As you can see, rather than being a nuisance, vacuum cleaner attachments should be an important part of your housecleaning arsenal.

Easy Cleaning for Entertaining

Help! I’m entertaining this weekend and I have no time to clean!
Don’t cancel your weekend plans. You can have your home ready by the weekend, using our Countdown to Clean plan for entertaining. Do a little each day, and avoid the “Crazy Cleaning” routine the big day.
Monday – Stash and Dash. This is the day to go through each room, and put away deep-rooted clutter, overgrown paper piles and towering toy dumps. Think of it as a runway to the rest of the week – once it’s clear, you’re ready for takeoff. Make your job easier by stashing your stuff with clever Storage Solutions.
Tuesday – Wipe and Wash. Go through your home with window cleaner and rags, hitting the main surfaces you want to shine. Doors, windows, light switches, railings, and door handles will all benefit.
Wednesday – Scrub-a-Dub. Think about the room where guests have little else to do but look around, and you’ll remember why the bathroom needs a little extra shine. Be sure to keep essentials accessible, like Kleenex, hand lotion, air freshener, and toilet paper.
Thursday – Va-Va-Voom. Get the vacuuming done today, and barring a dust storm in your neighborhood, you should be set for the weekend. Sprinkle a little baking soda or lavender on the carpet before vacuuming to deodorize and freshen.
Friday – Dust and Decorate. Walk through your home with a dust rag and an eye for detail. This is the day to set out fresh flowers, fill candy dishes, and add personal touches.
With housekeeping this easy, the only thing you need is another reason to throw a party!
