Amazon Haul - The Best Vacuum Attachments for Tight Spaces

 

Vacuum Attachments for Tight Spaces

       Last year, I purchased two sets of vacuum attachments, Vacuum Attachment with A Guide Wire and Vacuum Attachment and Lint Brush, from Amazon. The reason why I purchased these products was that I wanted to remove as much lint as possible from my dryer. Indeed, it worked really well. I've also used them to clean a lot of small and narrow spaces in my home and car. I wish I'd bought them sooner. 😆

You Can Clean These Small Spaces. 

・A lint compartment of the dryer

・Behind and between washer and dryer

・Behind and under the refrigerator

・Under the sofa

・Between the front seats of car and tight spaces

 Vacuum Attachment with A Guide Wire

      This vacuum attachment has a guide wire, so you can control the head of the hose and can clean hard to reach areas. I also used it to clean behind and under large appliances.

      After, vacuuming the lint in the trap, I used this brush and was still able to catch a lot of lint. I also used this brush to remove the built up dirt from the coils under the refrigerator, and it works really well.

     Even though I always clean the lint trap filter every load, I was still able to get so much lint out of my dryer. It makes my dryer run more efficiently. 😁  I was glad that I purchased these vacuum attachments. These are perfect for deeply cleaning a dryer lint trap and a refrigerator coil, which I want to clean every six months. I also use these attachments most small spaces in my home and car.
