Uses for a hand held vacuum
When it comes to vacuuming small or awkward areas quickly and conveniently, there’s nothing quite like a hand held vacuum. A cordless hand held vacuum cleaner knows no boundaries and with an endless list of uses, once you buy a hand held vacuum, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
If you’re wondering if you’d use a handheld vacuum, here’s a list of uses that I use my hand held vacuum cleaner for to get you started:
Cleaning up mess from the children
If my children are anything to go by, you can guarantee that where there are children, there is mess to be cleaned up. From glitter to bread crumbs, a hand held vacuum cleaner can be on standby so you can clean up mess in an instant and without the hassle of bringing out the vacuum cleaner.
Small spills
Getting the vacuum cleaner out for a small spill or area can feel like more effort than what it’s worth. It’s much easier and quicker to whip out a hand held vacuum cleaner. So whether you want to pick up pine needles from the Christmas tree or sand that has been carried into the house after a trip down the beach, a hand held vacuum cleaner can always be on hand.
Small/awkward spaces
Most vacuum cleaners come with onboard tools but when you’re reaching into small or awkward spaces the hose can make vacuuming cumbersome and restrict your freedom.
With a hand held vacuum cleaner you have fantastic freedom and manoeuvrability so whether you want to clean shelves, cupboards or around furniture, you’ll find vacuuming so much easier.
The car
For me, cleaning the car with a full-size vacuum cleaner generally consists of a battle with the hose. With a hand held vacuum cleaner however, you can have all the freedom you can wish for. The lightness of a hand held vacuum ensures you don’t have to strain and because most hand held vacuums are cordless, you won’t have to worry about finding a power socket or running out of cord.
Camping and caravanning
It’s not practical to take a full-size vacuum cleaner on camping and caravanning trips but spending so much time outdoors means there is always mess to contend with, from food crumbs to dried mud. Taking a hand held vacuum cleaner with you instead is a small and compact yet high performance solution that will instantly clean up all the day-to-day mess.
Pet hair
Have you noticed pet hair gets everywhere? From sticking to sofas and pillows to collecting in corners, pet hair can be a real nightmare. Keeping on top of all this hair is not easy but having a hand-held vacuum cleaner means you can vacuum the hair frequently and with very little effort, keeping your home looking and smelling fresh.
Stairs
Cleaning the stairs is by no means an easy task, especially if you find lifting and carrying your full-size vacuum cleaner difficult. Using a hand held vacuum cleaner in contrast can make life so much easier. With a hand held vacuum cleaner, you won’t have to struggle with a hose or any heavy weights, so you’re free to concentrate on where you’re vacuuming.
Of course, the beauty of a hand held vacuum cleaner is that you can use it for so many different things – and it will always be there on standby. For all the mess you have to contend with, that doesn’t really warrant getting the entire vacuum cleaner out, a hand held vacuum cleaner offers the perfect quick and convenient solution.
