Tools and attachments are your best friend when it comes to cleaning stairs.
Check the hose for blockages whenever you’re cleaning your vacuum.Start by looking for visible clogs at either end of the hose, then gently push a broom through to dislodge any blockages.
Never use a sharp object or too much force for this.. Floorhead intake.The opening from the floorhead into the wand or main vacuum body is another common location for a blockage.. Dust canister entrance..If you have a bagless vacuum, check the entrance to the dust canister, as this can sometimes become blocked with debris.. 5.
Add a Fabric Softener Sheet to the Bag or Canister.Similarly to adding cinnamon to a vacuum bag or canister, a fabric softener sheet will release a pleasant aroma whenever you switch on the vacuum.
It’ll also help to neutralise unwanted odours.. Alternatively, you can buy commercial scent crystals to add to a vacuum.
These can be either added to the dust cup or sprinkled on the floor and vacuumed up.Stay away from coloured cloth, as the dye can transfer..
Mix white vinegar 50:50 with water and pour into a spray bottle..Apply to the carpet, working from the outside-in, so it doesn’t spread the stain further.
Give the carpet a good soaking but don’t saturate it, then leave it to work for at least five minutes.. Blot the area to remove the vinegar solution, then rinse with clean water to remove any vinegar residue.. Blot a final time to remove excess moisture.. Leave the carpet to air dry.Opening windows and using fans will speed this up..
