“First rule of housecleaning while listening to music: the toilet brush is never the microphone.”
Modern vacuum cleaners are more powerful than their predecessors. They come with more features that make them easier to maintain thus making the devices last for longer durations. If you are looking for new storage ideas for your vacuum cleaner, here are some suggestions that can help you keep your machine in good condition and avoid damage due to dust accumulation.
1) Place the vacuum cleaner near an outlet.
If you choose to keep your vacuum cleaner in a small corner of the room, make sure it is close enough to an electrical socket. Doing this makes it easier for you to plug in and use the appliance without having to move furniture around.
2) Put it on a chair or table.
A vacuum cleaner can also be kept on a piece of furniture. However, don’t place it close enough to the edge of the table or chair so that children cannot pull it over and hurt themselves.
3) Find a storage solution for attachments.
If you have a bagless vacuum, make sure all the accessories are put together in one place so that you won’t have to look around the house trying to find a specific piece. Clear holders for tubes and brushes can be bought from vacuum cleaner stores.
4) Store it in a box or cupboard.
You can also store your machine in a small cupboard so that it will not take up too much space. Keep all the accessories together so you can place them all in one place. You should also label each tube or brush which will help you determine its use easily.
5) Keep it in the closet.
If your house is small, you may opt to keep your vacuum cleaner inside the closet if there is enough room for it to fit within. The downside of this storage solution is that you may not easily get to it when needed.
6) Put it in the attic or basement.
If your vacuum cleaner has a storage compartment, it is best to put this on an elevated area such as the attic or basement where you won’t have to move boxes and furniture around every time you want to use the device.
7) Keep it in a broom closet.
If you have a standard-sized house and there is an extra broom closet available, use this space to store your vacuum cleaner. A cupboard can also be fitted with enough shelves or drawers to keep all the accessories in one place.
Conclusion
Vacuum cleaner storage ideas can help you keep your machine clean and intact for years to come. However, some storage solutions do not work well with some models. It is, therefore, best to consult customer reviews online or visit stores where the vacuum cleaner was purchased if you want to find out which point on this list would be most suitable for your machine.
