The vacuum cleaner is a valuable tool in home maintenance. Less tiring than the broom and also faster while remaining manageable and flexible (especially if it is telescopic), it is an essential everyday ally. Essential, it cleans dirt on all surfaces by suction (all types of floors, stairs, carpets, cars, etc.). Here are some tips to make your vacuum cleaner make your life even easier by providing more or less unexpected services.
Also remember to clean your household appliance for its proper functioning and for very efficient and hygienic home maintenance.
1) Make a tip easily
We don’t necessarily have all the bits on hand…Also, finding tips for replacing them while still doing the job just as well isn’t too much trouble. A roll of toilet paper that you shape into the desired shape will be perfect for nooks and crannies. Dust and other allergens in inaccessible corners better watch out!
2) Remove textured paint
A painter’s knife attached to the end of the vacuum cleaner will remove the paint while the vacuum cleaner sucks up what falls. This is the perfect idea to avoid getting paint everywhere.
3) For dads
Sometimes dads look at their daughter’s hair like they’ve never seen it in their life. To help them style their hair (and have a little fun), the trick of putting the elastic on the hose and vacuuming the hair before sliding the elastic gives good results every time.
4) Spread a good smell
Here several methods. There is that of spices which consists of putting cinnamon on the floor so that a sweet smell spreads as you vacuum. You can also arrange to put essential oils or perfume in the (cleaned) filter so that an odor is released each time you use it. However, avoid if you have cats.
5) A clean keyboard
The tip of a ketchup bottle is the perfect shape to fit between keys. So crumbs and other dust won’t stand a chance!
6) A sofa like new
Want to fight odors on your sofa or armchairs? Sprinkle baking soda on it and leave it on for as long as possible (overnight would be perfect but if you have pets, try to at least leave it on for an hour). With the vacuum cleaner, suck up the bicarbonate. It will have sucked up all the odors.
7) Find a lost item
Place a nylon stocking over the vacuum hose and hold in place with a rubber band. By vacuuming the area where you lost the item in question, it will necessarily end up being trapped in the nylon without the risk of ending up in the vacuum cleaner bag.
