FAQ

Domestic Vacuum

What domestic vacuum accessories are available?

Domestic vacuum accessories include replacement hoses, cuffs, adaptors, extension tubes, floor tools, crevice tools, dusting brushes, upholstery nozzles and complete hose and accessory kits. These parts can help replace worn or missing vacuum attachments, improve cleaning performance or adapt your vacuum to suit different cleaning tasks around the home.

How do I know which vacuum accessory will fit my machine?

The most important thing to check is the fitting size. Many domestic vacuum tools and accessories use 32mm fittings, but some machines and hoses may use different sizes. We always recommend measuring the internal and external diameter of your existing hose, tube, tool or vacuum connection before ordering.

What does 32mm mean on a vacuum tool or accessory?

A 32mm vacuum fitting usually refers to the diameter of the connection point between the hose, tube or tool. Many domestic vacuum cleaners use 32mm tools and accessories, making this one of the most common sizes for replacement floor tools, crevice tools, brushes and extension tubes.

Can I replace the hose on my domestic vacuum cleaner?

Yes, replacement vacuum hose is available for many domestic machines. When choosing a new hose, check the hose diameter, the machine inlet connection and the tool end connection. You may also need the correct cuff or adaptor to connect the hose securely to your vacuum or accessories.

What vacuum floor tool should I use for carpets?

For carpets, a combination floor tool or carpet floor brush is usually the best option. Some tools are designed to glide across carpet more easily, while others include air turbine or brush features to help lift dust, hair and debris from carpet fibres. Always check that the tool fitting matches your vacuum tube or hose.

What vacuum floor tool should I use for hard floors?

For hard floors, a brush-style floor tool is usually recommended. These tools are designed for surfaces such as tiles, laminate, vinyl, wood flooring and other smooth floors. A soft or bristled floor tool can help collect dust and debris without scraping across the surface.

What are vacuum cuffs and adaptors used for?

Vacuum cuffs and adaptors are used to connect hoses, tools, tubes and vacuum cleaner inlets that may have different diameters or fitting styles. They are useful when replacing a hose, adapting a tool to fit your machine or connecting accessories from different vacuum systems.

Can I buy a complete domestic vacuum accessory kit?

Yes, complete hose and accessory kits are available for many domestic vacuum cleaning tasks. These kits may include common attachments such as floor tools, crevice tools, dusting brushes, upholstery nozzles and extension tubes. They are a practical option if you need to replace several missing or worn parts at once.

What are vacuum extension tubes used for?

Vacuum extension tubes connect the hose to the floor tool or cleaning accessory, allowing you to clean floors, corners, ceilings and harder-to-reach areas more comfortably. Extension tubes are available in different materials, including plastic, chrome and steel, depending on the application and preference.

Can domestic vacuum tools fit Numatic or Henry-style vacuums?

Many domestic vacuum tools and accessories are available in common sizes used by Numatic and Henry-style machines, including 32mm fittings. Compatibility depends on the exact hose, tube and machine connection, so it is best to measure your existing parts before ordering.
