Hello everyone,
I want to disinfect my vacuum cleaner attachments, you know the ones with the brush. I am sure it has a lottt of germs on it and I don’t feel comfortable vacuuming around my wooden floor because, along with vacuuming the house, it also spreads the germs already on it around the house. I’m guessing just putting it under a water hose won’t suffice so do you suggest any disinfectant that will kill the germs on it? Thanks in advance.

Wash your attachments in a sink of water with a teaspoon of bleach added to it. This is how restaurants using a three sink method disinfect their dishes.
You could also spray them with Lysol spray, either method will disinfect.
Prepare a bucket of hot water and lysol as if you were going to mop. Dip the attachments in the bucket. Let dry before using again.
no water…just spray some lysol into it while it is on
I agree with the above posters for ideas to disinfect your accessories, but I don’t think anyone’s answered what to do about hoses. For central vacuums they provide "maintenance wipes" that are sucked in and it’s chemically formulated for vacuums. I have an upright so I sometimes just take a broomstick and clean my hoses that way, with a maintenance wipe attached at the end with a rubber band.
