Doesn’t stand upright without being folded down.

This is more hygienic for cleaning pet hair, but it doesn’t grip so well on carpets.The pet tool is great for removing hair from sofas and stairs though.. Other Tools and Accessories.

Along with the floorhead attachments, you get a range of non-motorised accessories.There’s a combination tool (dusting brush/upholstery tool,) an extension crevice tool, the flexible pivot tool we mentioned earlier, and a Z Station self-standing charger stand..While the combination and crevice tools are fairly standard, the flexible tool is a useful extra that isn’t included with most cordless vacuums..

The charging stand is also unusual.Unlike most mounts, which need to be fixed to a wall, the stand just needs to be placed near a plug.

While this freestanding design makes the mount more convenient, the downside is that it’s heavy and relatively large.

It also needs to be near a plug socket, so you probably won’t be able to use it inside a cupboard.. Another issue worth mentioning is that you’ll need to shorten the wand to its minimum length to fit in the charger.This only works for small areas, however, and probably won’t dry the underlay..

Spread the towels over the wet area, then walk over them to soak up as much water as possible.Walking on the towels is more effective than just placing them on the carpet or using your hands to soak up liquid.. Once the towels are fully saturated, replace them with dry ones.

Repeat this process until the towels aren’t picking up any more water..Make sure the room is ventilated even after drying with towels, as it’s important for any remaining moisture to dry.. Increase Ventilation.
