Using a standard vacuum for stairs can be difficult, because it’s hard to lift the vacuum and get into every corner. The best vacuums for stairs need to be specially designed for stairs and other hard-to-reach places. However, they should also be able to vacuum the rest of your home so that you don’t need to pull out two different machines every time you need to clean.
Vacuums that are suited for stairs need to be lightweight and compact in order to help navigate them up and down. A long power cord or one with no cord will help prevent you from having to change sockets halfway up the stairs. If you already have a vacuum that you love for the rest of your house, a handheld model could be the solution you need. A lift-away model can be the best of both words. It provides a full-sized machine and then the detachable canister can work well on the stairs. A vacuum with attachments can help make sure the whole surface of the stairs is covered. Once you have decided on the right vacuum for the stairs, it’s time to start cleaning. Remove any objects on the stairs so you have an unobstructed path. Remove any large pieces of dirt or things that could clog up the vacuum cleaner by hand. Dust the handrail now, so any dust that falls will be picked up. On stairs, the most dust and debris will be in the corners. A nozzle with a pointed tip will help get into the corners of each stair. When working your way upstairs, use a wider nozzle or a brush to help cover the entire surface of each stair. Once you have done the flat surface, turn the attachment upward to work on the vertical part of the stairs, using an up-and-down motion. Start with the horizontal first, then go vertical as you work your way up the stairs. Make sure to regularly change the bag and clean out the filter on your vacuum to keep it in top shape and get a better clean.
