1. Use a sock to find small, lost objects
Small items such as earrings or tiny screws are often lost in carpets and under furniture. Before you start vacuuming, attach an old sock to the suction tube and secure it with an elastic band. In this way, you will easily find small objects while vacuuming and make sure that they do not end up in the bag or container of the vacuum cleaner.

Furniture dents on carpets can be stubborn. Simply place an ice cube on the dent and let it slowly melt. The moisture will help the carpet fibers to rise. Once the ice is melted, simply vacuum the area to put the fibers back in place.
3. Use a toilet paper tube as an attachment
For hard-to-reach places like corners and between seat cushions, use a cardboard toilet paper tube as a flexible attachment on the end of the suction tube. The tube can be compressed and shaped to reach all hidden corners.
4. Add cinnamon to scent your home
You can also make your home smell pleasant while vacuuming. Sprinkle some cinnamon on the floor or add it directly to a vacuum cleaner bag or container. The warm smell of cinnamon will waft through your home as you vacuum.

Similar to cinnamon, you can also use essential oils to freshen the air while vacuuming. Soak a cotton ball in your favorite essential oil and place it in the bowl of the vacuum cleaner. During vacuuming, a pleasant smell will spread throughout the room.
