A study by the Ohio State University shows that
using a floor cleaning machine kills 96 of fleas
in a home. Vacuuming is a great way to remove

are also a great way to reach and capture spiders
or mosquitoes that gather in ceiling corners.

Freshen Upholstery, Pillows, and Carpets

Beyond removing dust, and dirt, your vacuum and a
box of baking soda can do wonders to remove odors
and brighten fabrics. Sprinkle baking soda gently
over upholstery and toss pillows, and carpets.
Allow the baking soda to remain on the surfaces
for at least one hour and then vacuum away. This
will make your fabrics look brighter because of
the abrasive nature of the soda.

Recover Small Items
It is easy to recover small items with a vacuum
cleaner. If you have dropped something small like
an earring, nail, or screw behind a piece of
furniture, attach a piece of mesh or old
pantyhose over the end of the crevice tool of
your vacuum with a rubber band. Aim for the lost
item and the suction from the vacuum will trap it
against the mesh so you can make a recovery.

Trap Dust Before It Spreads
Before using a floor cleaning machine, use the
vacuum's dusting brush attachment to trap dust on
lampshades, books, light fixtures, blinds, and
even plant leaves. Removing the dust first with a
vacuum cleaner will prevent streaks and smears.
