One of the common attachments is the brush attachment. This is made up of a long, soft bristles set around an oval suction hole. These are best used for delicate cleaning. Use it on blinds, lampshades, and special rugs. This can also be used in paintwork. Decorative ornaments can also benefit from this brush.

A crevice attachment is a long pipe which can bring suction to awkward corners. This is good to use in skirting boards and the floor around the toilet. It can also be used in getting to dirt at in the ceilings.
The most well known of the attachments is the floor attachment. This is a large brush that is like the standard cylinder cleaner brush. This can be used for carpets and hard floors. This covers wide areas.
The stair attachment looks like a scaled-down version of the hose on a cylinder vacuum. It can be used to get a strong, even suction that gets into tight corners such as those on chairs, sofas, curtains, and small areas of carpet.
