Simple Things That You Never Think Of.

There is a car valeter on a retail park near me that are always very busy, people tend to drop their car there to be cleaned while shopping. When passing the other day I saw one of the cleaners inside the car with a 1 inch paint brush ( no not with paint on) using it to get into all the nooks and crannies, the places you can't get the hoover into. Guess what I bought while up there. :>)

A hoover?

A old toothbrush can help too

Been using a dry paintbrush with a vacuum cleaner to clean awkward places since about 1970. It was common practice in the TV repair shops everywhere. Every pc repair shop does the same even now. Useful around the house too.

Well not everyone worked in a tv repair shop Togo, or in any job that needed fine dust removed first. There are I would think many simple solutions to tackle various jobs.

Simple things that you never think of... that'd probably be, other people.

My handheld vacuum has a nifty bendy plastic attachment that gets in to very awkward spaces like car vents.

Great idea, for those who've never heard of this tip.

I got strangely hooked on a recent series about the cleaning and conservation work of National Trust stately homes (it was more interesting than it sounds).
I was very supristed to see people perched precariously up ladders and on scaffolding, cleaning the chandeliers with dry paintbrushes and vacuum cleaners strapped to their backs.
I said they should have got Del and Rodney to do it :)

A lot of the cleaning involved paint brushes, make up brushes and vacuum cleaners.

I use a camera lens puffer bulb brush f or my scope optics. Any thing bigger and I start up the compressor in my garage and blast out the muck.

retro, I got carried away with my compressor blowing out the fans on my all in one pc and now there's a line of dust behind one half of the screen. I am an idiot

I did write for bigger jobs
:-) I admit I give the desktop keyboard the occasional short blasts but am aware that water can collect in the air reservoir if not frequently drained.

16.30 Toothbrush is ideal for inside the window frames.

Whilst on a supermarket car park not long ago, the Immigration Service turned up and buckets went flying everywhere as the "Valeters" did a runner!
