Not all vacuums come with attachments; even if they do, there are always optional items that you may feel you need. Whether you are looking for wet/dry vacuum accessories or a central vacuum accessory in Ottawa, there is a wide range of options to choose from that will make your cleaning routine easier.
If you are on a budget and want to know which items are really the most important, here you go.
Essential vacuum accessories you should buy.
HEPA filter
This is a filter that will capture items that you cannot possibly see. It is especially popular to trap allergens, mould spores, pollen, and pet dander. Even if you don't have a family member with hypersensitivity to these items or have pulmonary issues, this is an excellent choice to give your home the best cleaning possible.
Crevice tool
Just like it sounds, this is a long and slender attachment with a slightly slanted edge. It is designed to get into tight spots, where walls join, corners, and between sofa cushions. It is also good to vacuum accumulated dust from the bathroom ceiling vent.
Upholstery tool
Dust will accumulate on your furniture as well as the carpet. This will help you remove that dust, hair, and other substances from the textured upholstery on the sofa, chairs, or other items.
Dusting brush
There are many types of dusters around, but they often just move the dust to another surface. A vacuum dusting brush can suction the residue from window sills, lampshades, blinds, and other areas.
Extension wand
This is an essential tool no matter how tall you are. It extends to most ceilings and will help you get closer to the floor, saving climbing or crawling around to clean your home.

Which Central Vacuum System Offers the Strongest Suction Power for Allergens?Read more →A portable vacuum recirculates exhaust air in the same room you are cleaning. A central vacuum moves the dirty air through a sealed pipe to a power unit in your garage, basement, or utility room. From there, the air is filtered and either muffled and released in a remote area or vented outdoors. That design offers three allergen-friendly advantages:
- Remote motor and exhaust. Fine particles that escape filtration do not get blown back into the room you are cleaning.
- Larger filtration capacity. Central units have larger canisters, bags, and filters than portable vacuums.
- Stronger, steadier suction. Higher-powered motors can maintain airflow through long hoses and deep carpet.
These advantages only materialize if the system is well specified and maintained, which is where the details below come in.
