Vacuum accessories play a vital role in overall cleaning and continued performance of your appliance.Tool cleaning attachments and micro fiber pads and replacement parts, such as belts, water, cartridge traditional and HEPA filters, along with various cleaning solutions, help to keep your space clean and tidy. To find the right accessories for your appliance, check the make and model of your machine and look for original and after-market products that are compatible to ensure a proper fit.
For tight corners or walls and ceilings, selecting a hand-held vacuum will give the versatility you need to achieve optimal results. Attaching a wand to your vacuum extends a unit's strong suction to areas that are harder to access. A crevice tool is a good option for removing dirt and cobwebs from corners and baseboards. Use wet and dry vacuums outdoors to maintain decks, the garage and driveways. Many units have optional accessories, such as a blower kit with variable speed trigger that includes a turbo fan. The speeds can exceed 270 CFM and 95 mph, which is suitable for removing leaves and other large items with precision control.
There are a host of upright vacuum accessories for maintaining other surfaces in your home, including upholstery tools. Look for an easy to handle, snap-on soft brush head or a motorized brush head attachment. The mini motorized brush heads serve as portable vacuums with high suction power. Dusting brushes are suitable for tables, shelving, stairs and even mini blinds, and will not scratch or cause other damage. A mattress tool works on bedding and furniture, and using crevice tools and brushes allows for a full detailing of your vehicle. Cleaning solutions designed for entire carpet, high-traffic areas and spot cleaning are also essential accessories for the home.
A pet grooming tool to remove hair and dander is available in several sizes to accommodate canister vacuums and other styles. Some upright vacuum filters are washable and reusable, while others need to be replaced periodically. HEPA® filters remove most particulates from the air, a benefit for those who are prone to allergies. Use a mattress tool as a prep tool prior to washing windows, and removing the excess dirt on the window and frame.
Many vacuum accessories will reduce the stress on your appliance's motor and help to keep it in top shape. Replacement vacuum filters prevent debris from entering the motor, resulting in sustained performance. HEPA® cleaners and cartridge filters can collect and trap particles as tiny as 0.3 microns, and changing the bags and filters frequently will often prevent re-circulation of the waste to the machine's internal moving parts and motor. Micro fiber pads keep the base of your appliance like new, and regularly replaced belts allow the brush roller to move freely to collect waste deep into carpets.
