Cleaning hacks: How to take care of tricky corners

Cleaning is supposed to happen quickly and effectively. But there are these corners in our home where this seems completely impossible. That’s why they are rather neglected. Just imagine wanting to reach the dust bunnies in the very back corner underneath your sofa… It means moving the sofa, fiddling the vacuuming cleaner in the corner, vacuuming up the dust, moving the sofa back to its spot. A huge effort. Underneath the sofa is not the only place we’re talking about: Stairs, heaters, behind furniture, inside drawers, or even the inside of a car demand time for cleaning. However, it can be simpler by having a flexible vacuum cleaner at hand. Here are some tips to make tricky-corner cleaning quick and effective.

When it comes to staircases, cleaning from top to bottom is recommended to remove dust and dirt. However, cleaning stairs requires creativity – and an eye for safety. Especially when your stairs are equipped with a carpet, there is no better solution than a vacuum cleaner. Vacuuming the very top and very bottom steps is easy as they are quick to reach. However, when getting to the middle part, the power cord might not be long enough when using a corded model – and can also be a trip hazard. And as we all know most accidents happen at home. Flexible vacuum cleaners, that can be easily transformed and adapted to stairs, can be a solution. Flexibility in this case doesn’t only refer to the option of carrying it around. Multi-use handsticks like our powerful Bosch Unlimited 8 can be adjusted with several attachments and flexible nozzles. A short crevice nozzle, for example, enables you to get into stairs’ narrow gaps and corners. The mini power nozzle lets you easily get into hard-to-reach spaces and even removes pet hair and fibres. Bosch Unlimited 8 comes with long runtime, strong suction power and absolute flexibility enabling users to vacuum staircases quickly and easily.

When cleaning, there are these spots we simply tend to forget – or which are just too tricky or take too much of an effort to clean. Think about the utensil drawer and the computer keyboard. Quite often, crumbs find their way between forks and knifes or single keys. Of course, you could empty your drawer and clean it with a damp cloth. Or you could turn your keyboard upside down in order for the crumbs to fall out. There’s a simpler solution that lets you leave everything in place. Some especially flexible vacuum cleaners come with a keyboard and drawer nozzle. This nozzle doesn’t only clear fine dust and crumbs effectively but leaves bigger things in place. Additionally, its long plastic fibres can easily get into hard-to-reach spots.

Heaters are another neglected spot when it comes to cleaning. There are special brushes and feather dusters available that can reach spaces in between heating elements. However, they only stir up dust for it to set elsewhere. A long, flexible crevice nozzle can prevent this from happening. It easily fits into narrow gaps behind furniture or the heater and sucks up dust straight from there.

Does your mattress need a thorough cleaning again? What does the gap behind your cupboard look like? And what about your window frames? A flexible, multi-use, cordless vacuum cleaner helps removing dust and dirt from any hard-to-reach gap.

Usually, there is no socket close to where your car parks. Therefore, a cordless and flexible vacuum cleaner is indispensable when properly wanting to clean your car’s interior. Little stones and grass can be tricky to remove from floor mat fibres. The same applies to all the hard-to-reach fabric areas in the legroom and the boot. Owners of a powerful battery-powered model like the multi-use handstick Bosch Unlimited 8 are clearly on the inside track. First, take out the floor mats and shake them out to remove coarse dirt. Second, click off the tube and give them a thorough cleaning with the handheld vacuum cleaner that gives you maximum flexibility.

When vacuuming car seats, flexible nozzles and an extension hose can make cleaning gaps and upholstery a piece of cake. For sensitive surfaces like leather seats and further upholstery, a nozzle with a soft brush is suitable – like the 2in1 furniture brush and upholstery nozzle that comes with our Bosch Unlimited 8. Of course, the upholstery nozzle is also suitable for use on indoor upholstery.

Thanks to its powerful battery and its multi-use functionalities, it offers maximum flexibility and delivers unlimited performance – also thanks to exchangeable batteries.
