Has anybody come up with an ingenius way to hoover in the very awkward spots, like down the sides of the seats etc. I've got a small mains powered hoover, with attachments, which is great, but it's not thin enough for the fiddly bits...............

Dyson with the long flat attachment and the brush thingy for the rest of the car, done in half the time it used to take.

EDIT - The thing about the Dyson is that it is so powerfull all you have to do is get close and it sucks everything up.

I bought a set of tiny attachments from Betterware (About £5)which fit any cleaner and do a good job between the seats etc.

Good luck

Push the seats as far forwards as they will go, this gives you 95% access to the bits you want to get at, hth.

I never wored out how to get down there either, in the end got rid of my fabia. Not just cos of that tho

I would hope not! :eek:

The Dyson trick works well...as long as the Dyson is working...which mine usually isn't! :(

Turn it on.....................................:P

Oh yeah... :P

Nah, it's forever broken. These days I use some fancy new Taskmaster hoover we have at work, pretty good.

ooo never thought of that I too have the side of the seat issue and a toddler to make things worse. - wonder if the hoovers the cleaners at work use are any better than mine. they have a sticker on saying for use by cleaning operatives only so they must be very complicated :p

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, its 'Elf and Saftey mate.......................

Try a long handled Radiator brush as they are nice and thin then hoover it up.

get a long carboard tube that will flex a bit, tape it to the end of the hoover pipe then you should be able to slide it down the side of the seat and the hole at the end of tube should ovalise and allow the tube to fit into most tight places.

...clever!

For the record I too sit in the Dyson camp.

Occasionally.

My interior's normally the only dirty part of my car. I just clean the bits in my line of sight when I'm driving
