Best Central Vacuum Attachments For Every Floor Type

Best Central Vacuum Attachments For Every Floor Type

A central vacuum should always be used in combination with the right cleaning tools and attachments.

Every central vacuum attachment and tool has its own purpose. So if you’re not using any of them, you’re not using your central vacuum system efficiently. 

It’s important to take advantage of each one so that you are able to deeply clean your home from floor to ceiling. 

Usually, central vacuum systems come with cleaning kits that include central vacuum hoses and attachments.

 

Here are some of the most basic central vacuum accessories and how to use them.

  • Hose

    A central vacuum hose is crush-proof, lightweight and is at least 30 feet in length. This serves as the connection between the vacuum and other attachments.

    To use a hose, just plug it in a vacuum inlet and enhance it with different attachments, depending on the surface that you’re cleaning.

    Because of its flexibility and length, a hose can allow you to reach and clean every corner and area in a room. 

 

  • Telescopic Wand

    The wand is described as “telescopic” because it can be shortened or extended like a telescope.

    It is connected to a hose and it can carry any attachment such as a brush or crevice tool.

    Thanks to its length and stability, the wand is perfect for dusting ceilings and hard-to-reach areas. 

 

  • Upholstery Tool

    An upholstery tool usually comes with fabric strips and sometimes, a slip-on brush.

    It does a great job in cleaning furniture, walls, mattresses and curtains. It can also be used to clean cars, sofas, chairs, and stairwells.

    An upholstery tool is useful with and without a brush. 

 

  • Round Dusting Brush

    Dusting is made easy and quick with the round dusting brush.

    It’s great for dusting furniture, counters, wall decorations, window areas, lamp shades, and any other area that needs dusting.

    This brush is gentle but it dusts all types of surfaces thoroughly.

 

  • Combo Tool

    The combo tool is used for general cleaning of the floor, walls and other surfaces. Compared to the other tools, this one is always the most useful.

    Our combo tool has a convenient toe switch on top that allows you to move from carpets to hard floor surfaces without stopping. 

 

  • Crevice Tool

    This tool is ideal for narrow spaces, crevices, edges and other hard-to-reach areas.

    It allows you to clean tight spaces and corners such as beneath and around cupboards, behind the sofa, sofa cushions, baseboards and even inside the car.

 

  • Electric Powerhead with Roller Brush

    To completely clean carpeted floors, an electric powerhead has an internal motor that rotates and agitates a roller brush.

    The bristles of the roller brush delve deeply into the carpet fibers to extract any embedded dirt, debris, and other particles.

 

Choosing the Best Central Vacuum Attachments for Your Floor Type

An Air Kit is all you need when you’re cleaning with your Homewave Central Vacuum System. 

Homewave offers three variations of air kits. Each central vacuum kit includes a crushproof hose that is 35 feet in length, which is 5 feet longer than the standard hose, and a variety of other central vacuum accessories. 

When it comes to choosing the right air kit, however, your floor type is the first thing to consider. Your air kit can include a wide range of attachments including an electric powerhead.

 

The Best Central Vacuum Accessories for Hard Floors

As long as you use the right attachments, a vacuum cleaner will properly clean and care for your hardwood floors.

If your home has hardwood floors or no carpeting at all, the Standard Air Kit should be your best option. This vacuum kit comes with a floor and wall brush as well as a premium floor brush that is gentle yet effective at keeping your floors clean and dust-free. 

When using the floor and wall brush, just make sure to disable the bristles when necessary to avoid damaging sensitive flooring. 

Standard Air Kit

  • 35’ Crushproof Air Hose
  • Floor & Wall Brush
  • Telescopic Chrome Wand
  • Dusting Brush
  • Upholstery Tool with slide-on Brush
  • Tool Caddy & Hose Rack

 

The Best Central Vacuum Accessories for Area Rugs

If you have hard-surface flooring and a few area rugs, the Deluxe Air Kit will make cleaning much easier and more convenient for you.

It comes with a cleaning hose, a swivel handle for a secure grip, and an on/off switch. The switch enables you to turn the power unit on and off without repeatedly plugging and unplugging the hose from an inlet.

A combination floor and rug tool is also included in the kit, allowing you to switch between floors and carpets without turning off the vacuum.

Deluxe Air Kit

  • 35’ 24V Crushproof Hose With Swivel handle & On/Off Switch
  • Floor & Rug Tool
  • Telescopic Chrome Wand
  • Dusting Brush

The Best Central Vacuum Accessories for Carpets

If you have carpeted flooring in your home, the Deluxe Electric Kit is for you.

It includes an electric powerhead that is specifically designed to clean carpeted flooring thoroughly, leaving it looking brand new every time. Its integrated motor spins and vibrates a brush roller, effectively removing dust, grime, and other particles that cause carpets to age.

However, you should bear in mind that wool, berber, and frieze carpets should not be cleaned with a roller brush. A roller brush can damage these carpets by loosening or pulling out their fibers.

The cleaning hose also has a swivel handle and a switch that lets you turn on and off both the electric powerhead and the power unit with a single click. 

Deluxe Electric Kit – $399.99

  • 35’ 110-24V Crushproof Hose with Swivel handle & On/Off Switch
  • Electric Powerhead with headlight and chrome brush/beater roller
  • Floor & Wall Brush
  • Chrome Telescopic Wand
  • Dusting Brush
  • Upholstery Tool with Brush
  • Tool Caddy & Hose Rack

 

Now, these tools may sound simple, but they are all designed to make cleaning easier and more effective for you. Knowing how to correctly use each central vacuum attachment and tool will help you to take better care of your home and furniture.

We hope that you found these tips helpful in choosing the right air kit for your home. All the air kits are guaranteed to deliver good results, you just have to know which air kit is the best for you.
