Is there a lot of dust under your furniture?
And you can’t access it with your vacuum cleaner?
Even with the brush, it is too far to be sucked?
It often happens under tall furniture or under beds.
Fortunately, I have a simple and downright effective trick to get rid of it easily without breaking your back.
It was passed down to me from my grandmother.
Simply recycle an old, empty paper towel roll and shove it onto the vacuum cleaner hose. Look :
What you need
– empty paper towel roll
– vacuum cleaner with a hose
How to do
1. Take out your vacuum cleaner and remove the brush from the hose.
2. Push the roll of paper towel so that it fits on the end of the pipe.
3. Flatten the end of the roll with your hands to make a thinner tip.
4. Turn on your vacuum cleaner.
5. Go under the lowest or deepest furniture to pick up dust easily.
Result: no more dust in the corners!
And There you go ! You have vacuumed all the dust well hidden under the furniture 🙂
Easy, fast and effective, right?
No more “sheep” hiding in all inaccessible corners.
And for that, you don’t even need a specific tip.
A simple roll of recycled kitchen towel does the trick.
We kill two birds with one stone.
Because we sanitize the house while reusing an object that would have ended up in the trash.
This universal nozzle works perfectly for vacuuming in many places in the house:
Under the fridge, in the window rails , the super high ventilation grilles, the radiators…
Why does it work?
The paper towel roll nozzle fits perfectly on all vacuum cleaner hoses, regardless of brand.
As the roll of a Sopalin has a good length, it can reach all corners, even the most distant .
And all this effortlessly and without moving the furniture.
The more the end is flattened, the more it can squeeze into the tightest places.
For example under the fridge, the stove or the bookcase.
It also works with a roll of toilet paper but it is often too short to reach the furthest places.
Need a giant mouthpiece?
So take the cardboard roll of a wrapping paper.
It is 3 times larger, which is very practical for accessing impossible places!
4 more tips for catching dust
This damn dust gets everywhere…especially in the most inaccessible places.
Without being manic, I’m careful not to let it settle.
For what ?
Because my son has asthma.
So, here are my little tips for tracking down dust:
– Use a damp cloth instead of the feather duster. The first captures the dust while the second scatters it everywhere.
– Make this dust spray product at home. It is downright miraculous.
– Regularly move objects to vacuum underneath.
– Clean the ventilation grilles and filters of the oven, fridge, desktop computer, electric heater…
– Dust regularly.
What to do with empty paper towel rolls?
We consume about 2 rolls of paper towels per month.
But what about the cardboard tube?
Well too often we throw it away. And that’s a shame, because it has lots of uses .
Of course, we can do many crafts with the children.
But, you can also store cables by wrapping them around to prevent them from getting tangled.
The other trick is to wrap the cables on themselves and store them in the tube.
And why not store small objects like your costume jewellery, small hair accessories, small children’s cars…
In the dressing room, they are also very useful.
It organizes pairs of socks , scarves or underwear.
Finally, the cardboard rolls serve as a support for sowing in the garden.
This is perfect for seedlings that have weak roots when transplanting, as the cardboard biodegrades.
