Title: general vacuum that also shampoos upholstery?
Post by: Jill_Brighton on February 04, 2021, 11:21:21 am

Hi there
Looking for appliance recommendations please - I do domestic cleaning and am wondering if there is such a thing as a general vacuum cleaner that will be fine on hard floors, has attachments/accessories and also shampoos upholstery. Would love to avoid having to hoik around multiple machines. Bonus points if it has an easy way to remove hair clogs from itself.
thanks in advance.

Never mix wet vacs with dry vacs.  I know lots of vacs say wet and dry but the truth is they don’t work.  If you use a vacuum dry all the hose creases etc fill with dust then if you switch it to wet by removing the dry filter all those creases fill with remnants of water and you end up with sludge in  the creases.  I know of people who have bought a full set of hoses, wands and attachments for both dry and wet but they still have problems.  If you take my advice one machine for each type of job
