One of the great things about having a central vacuum cleaning system is that you do not have to lug around the motor from room to room. Just by plugging in the hose in the outlets, you can quickly and easily vacuum all parts of the house. And just like the traditional vacuum cleaner you have central vacuum accessories such as a floor brush and upholstery brush. There are other accessories that make vacuuming a breeze.

The hose on a central vacuum cleaner is your best friend. They are usually between 20 and 30 feet long, and sometimes up to 50 feet. They can swivel 360 degrees and you don’t have to worry about them being crushed or twisted. Once you have the hose connected to the outlet you can maneuver easily, and continue to have powerful suction.

All of the different tools do their respective jobs well. The dusting brush is great for picking up cobwebs from the ceilings and walls, pet hair and crumbs off the floor. Depending on the brush it can even be used to dust baseboards, windowsills, lights and ceiling fans. The upholstery brush is used not just on sofas and car upholstery, but works well on stairs and furniture.

There is also the crevice tool which works well for cobwebs also, but it is also great for getting in those tight skinny places. You can have a couple different options with the floor brush. You can have a basic brush that’s used for a bare floor or it can be a combination floor and carpet. If you really want to deep clean your carpets when you vacuum you should get the floor brush with a rotating brush. This brush could be air driven or could be electric and plug into an electric outlet by the hose outlet.

Many people get the automatic dustpan. This is a vent along the baseboard of your room. All you do is sweep the dirt up to the dustpan, flip the switch and watch it get sucked away.
