Different types of surfaces require different types of vacuum cleaner accessories or heads to clean surfaces effectively. Help your customers find vacuum cleaner accessories to do a total cleaning job.

Look for vacuum cleaners that provide a variety of heads for floors, metal surfaces, wood surfaces such as desks or even a special accessory to clean blinds and windows. Don't forget to add bags and filters to the list, since vacuum cleaners cannot clean effectively unless the bag and filters are changed regularly. Look at the following features when choosing vacuum cleaner accessories for your business:

1. Locate a vacuum cleaner accessories provider for bags and filters.

2. Find vacuum cleaner accessories for floors and dusting.

3. Supply special vacuum cleaner accessories for allergy control and deeper cleaning.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Select a vacuum cleaner accessories provider for bags and filters

Make sure you stock up on filters and bags for the vacuum cleaners you choose. Bags fill up with dirt fast, so they need to be changed often. Changing the filter makes the machine work better and it picks up more dirt.

I recommend: Electrolux sells accessories for their line of vacuum cleaners. Purchase bags, filters and belts directly from them. Vacuumsinc ships bags for virtually every vacuum cleaner made.

Pick floor and dusting vacuum cleaner accessories

The vacuum cleaner comes with the basic head and attachments to get your customers started. Buy extra floor heads separately to make cleaning different surfaces fast and easy. Choose attachments for dusting surfaces, cleaning ceiling fans and cleaning vertical blinds.

I recommend: Cen-Tec Systems sells parts for many machines including floor heads, pads and brushes. Hoover sells accessories for its vacuum cleaners including belts, brush rolls and extra parts. The Tyler Tool Company sells Shop Vacs and accessories.

Make a vacuum cleaner accessories list for the special accessories

Many people suffer from allergies due to excessive dust in the air. Buy special allergen control bags to pick up the dust mites that irritate your employees' allergies for a sneeze-free environment.

I recommend: GottaHaveBags sells bags for everyones' needs, from anti-bacterial to DVC allergen performance bags. HomeCare Industries sell filtation bags for most models.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Choose vacuum cleaners and their accessories that will be around for a while. Many manufacturers discontinue models frequently, so you can no longer update your accessories for your cleaners. Get vacuum cleaner accessories information from manufacturers and ask how long they will continue this model and how long they will sell accessories for this model once they discontinue it.
