Choosing the right vacuum cleaner is just the first step—using the correct attachment for each cleaning task can make all the difference in your home’s cleanliness and your vacuum’s efficiency. As an industry expert, I often see users underutilize the range of brush heads that come standard with most modern vacuums. Here’s your complete guide to the most common vacuum cleaner attachments and how to use them for optimal results.
