Use your VacuMaid central vacuum to prepare for winter


With the transistion from summer to autumn complete, thoughts of cold winter nights appear on the horizon.


Right now is a great time to check and perform routine maintenance on those furnaces that have been hibernating for the past six months.

Before kicking that thermostat up, a few easy steps can save you money as well as make your system more energy efficient.

CLEAN THAT FILTER:  A clogged furnace filter impedes air flow and makes your system work harder than it should.  You can easily clean your filter with your VacuMaid central vacuum

CHECK AND CLEAN THE COLD AIR INTAKE:  In order for your furnace to work efficiently, the air circulation in the entire venting system can't be restricted.  Find the cold air intake for your system and vacuum out any dust and lint build-up and reduce your energy bills at the same time.  Your VacuMaid central vacuum is a great tool to handle this cleaning process.


CLEAN AROUND YOUR FURNACE: Before you fire up that pilot light, make sure there are no combustible materials near your furnace.  Use your VacuMaid central vacuum to clean any dust and dirt from around your furnace.

If your furnace doesn't function properly, always consult a professional HVAC technician in your area. 

BE WARM and as always BE SAFE!!

Central Vacuum Dusting Brush

Greetings once again everyone, Rex the Flex (CT100) coming to you live from the green room, or utility closet, whichever you want to call it.  We are pleased to introduce a long time legend in the Caddy Bag.  Everyone, please welcome, Wilford Brushley (DB630BLK).
 
 
 
Thank you all, I am honored to be included along with all my other cleaning friends in the Caddy Bag.  You might say that we have formed some attachments over the years. 
 
A little about myself, I have been part of the Vacu-Maid family for quite some time.  My motto has always been, why push dust around with a rag, when you can remove it entirely from your living space using me, along with your Vacu-Maid central vacuum system. I might look like a cuddly grandpa, but I am tough on dirt and dust. 
 
With my soft natural bristles I am gentle on any surface so you can clean with confidence.  I am great on window sills and book shelves or connect me to your telescopic wand and I can clean those hard to reach areas where dirt and dust hide. 
 
 
 
I'm kind of small so if you have misplaced me, it might be time to get online and order me up again at www.vacumaid.com.  Or if you have other needs or questions, call our customer service department  at 1-800-221-1862 .  I look forward to being a part of your cleaning crew for years to come.

Central Vacuum Flexible Crevice Tool


Good day everyone, I am Rex.  My friends call me Rex the Flex and I am one of the most popular VacuMaid accessories on the web.  I will be your host throughout this series and I will introduce you to some of my best buds in the VacuMaid accessory line-up.

 
A little about me, being 24" in length, I can reach just about anywhere.  Want to clean underneath the sofa without moving it? I'm your guy.  How about behind the stove or beside the refrigerator?  Or my favorite place to clean, the lint trap on the dryer. Once again, I can get in there with ease.  That's ok, your back can thank me later.
 
Did I mention that I have crazy flexibility?  You can twist me around in a circle and I won't crimp or break. Which means I am going to last a long time.  Pretty impressive, eh? 
 
Hook me up to your telescopic wand and we are reaching over 5 feet which means you don't have to bend over.  That's right, just move me where you want and watch me work. 
 
I would love to be a part of your powerful VacuMaid Central Vacuum cleaning crew.  Check me out here.  As a bonus, if you order before February 14, I am on sale for $7.00*.  Or you can call Scott or Mike at 800-221-1862 and mention me, Rex for the same special.  *The eyes are not included.
 
Cleaning the lint trap on the dryer.
 

Well, look what's hiding back here.  Looks like it's time to clean up the beside the refrigerator. Did you ever think cleaning behind a refrigerator could be so quick and easy?  You might even be tempted to show this area off to your mother-in-law.

Winston is on the road again...

Winston and Betty recently visited several Vacu-Maid dealers.  Here are some photos from his trip.

Gaston Choquette and Son Mark

Unfortunately they didn't get a picture with Mark Bork of Professional Install, but they did see an installation of a central vacuum that Professional Install did in a nail salon.  They tied the vacuum hose to the rotary Dremel tool. Pretty neat custom application.
