Homemade Vacuum Extension

Here's a cleaning carpet tip: If you need a little more reach on your vacuum cleaner hose attachment, try affixing a cardboard tube such as one that holds wrapping paper. The tube can even be smooshed down flat to get into tight spots.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA,SOMETIMES I NEED THAT LITTLE EXTRA LENGTH, WHEN A HOSE IS SHORT BUT A TUBE CAN BE CUT TO THE RIGHT SIZE TO GET TO THE HARD TO REACH PLACES, THANKS GREAT TIP

Be sure to use plenty of duct tape to seal up those connections. Duct tape comes in many colors, so you can match the color of your vacuum cleaner hose. You can also wrap your cardboard tube with tape for a dressier look! Happy cleaning!!
