Those bits beyond reach

Featured Replies

Anyone got any hints or tips on how to get all those crumbs out from down the side of my front seats or anywhere else that the nozel on my vacuum cleaner can't reach??

A powerful vac and a slim nozzle should get to most places :)

ah... i know the bits you mean... the real die hard stuff that the dyson wont even touch..

i get those compressed air canister aerosol things from rs components. they are only a few quid.. i literally just blast the stuff out

A really slim paint brush should loosen them, and a decent vacuum will do the rest.

Dyson do an a special car kit for their vacuums with attachments for all those hard to reach areas.

...however I've found the attachments are still too fat to get the end of them right down the narrow bits.

Usually use a paint brush to knock the crumbs about while vacuums is standing-by to sook them away once there loosened.

a paint brush but wrap the metal bit with insulation tape to provent scratching,

also a stiff toothbrush works very well

spose a can of pipe freezing spray could work, i use the stuff at work to blow away dust and bits of crap. cheers for ur help guys

sticky tape wrapped around stick helps too, also grat for dog hairs and tiny bits

A steam cleaner, blast those little buggers out, then hoover. Works for me. :P

It's only four bolts that hold the seat down...

Works for me :)

I guess you have tried moving the seat all the way back and forward to get at the crumbs from the front and rear - works for me with an Octy

yeah i have. its mainly between the centre console and seats, and the plastic trim covering the seat base and the body shell.

Funnily enough I was having a polish etc and cleanup day today and I was struggling with that very same area. I ended up using a stiff slim paintbrush which sort of worked but am determined to find a better solution.

Will probably have to adapt something to fit onto vac to make a very slim nozzle.

Annoying bit of (lack of) design.
