Vacuum Accessories
There are many attachments and vacuum accessories that are made for your vacuum which will make cleaning unusual items or places much easier. We have compiled a small list of useful attachments for various jobs.
If you have already been to the pet vacuum page you may know the first one we are talking about. It is an attachment to your vacuum that will help you to keep your house clean before your pet even sheds. Simply connect the pet
grooming attachment and vacuum your dog. It may sound odd, or even cruel, but it really works well. Most dogs will enjoy the grooming as well. If you have a dog that is scared by the vacuum then you will want to ease your pet into
the action. Get some of your dogs favorite treats and run the attachment over the fur. Reward your pet with a treat each time. When your dog is comfortable with that, attach it to the vacuum and run it through the coat again. After
doing that several times you can try it with the vacuum on.
Another attachment that works wonders is the micro attachment set. These attachments are made to clean your electronic items like your keyboard, mouse, speakers, and so on. They also work well on your car if you are chaning spark plugs,
the air filter, or anything similar. These allow you to clean your gadgets and keep them running longer.

Mr. Nozzle M-115-DB Vac Tool Kit - Great addition to any dust collection system. Excellent for use with hand held tools or just for clean-up. The hose is the perfect balance between rigid/flexible, and is heavy duty enough to drag around the shop floor. While flexible, Mr. Nozzle does not contract under vacuum pressure.The black adapter end fits 4" to 2+1/2" reducers and 2+1/2" outlets. The grey adaptor end fits 2+1/2" to 1+1/4" reducers for hand tools or vacuum attachments.
Shop-Vac 801-89-62 Micro Tool Kit - My wife got me a micro cleaning set for Christmas two years ago. Since then, I've found it is one of the handiest tools in my shop. Simply put, it makes my shop vac much more useful. I can get into tight places and concentrate the suction power of my vac in a way that I couldn't possibly do otherwise. Before changing the spark plugs in my truck, I used the micro cleaning tools to suck out all the dirt and debris around the old plugs, which otherwise would have fallen into to the engine. I've used it to clean out tools and electronics equipment, and I have found it works great for doing a thorough cleaning of my car's interior. I've even used it to clean all the gunk out my chainsaws! I've been so happy with it that my wife is giving kits to her father and two brother-in-laws for Christmas this year.
Vacuum Micro Attachments, 8-Piece Kit - It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who finds those compressed air can things completely useless in cleaning crap out of my electronics. It's bad enough taht they're bad for the environment, they also don't work as well as the price tag says they should. Thank goodness for this attachment set!
All hype aside, this product works exactly as the makers claim. Use the power of your vacuum to get all the crap out of your keyboard, CPU, stereo and anywhere else. I particularly like the brushes.
I've also found that the dust I'm after is stubborn. You really do need the full power of a vacuum to get at it. So forget those handheld deals that hook into your USB port or whatever. This product is cheaper than a lot of them and works better than all of them.
