canister vacuum, set it six or eight stairs down from the top.
When you've vacuumed down to it, move it down six or eight
more steps. Use the whiskbroom from your back pocket to clean
out edges and corners of the stairs as needed. It's easy and fast.
Whisk several steps and then vacuum several steps and repeat.
Vacuum with back-and-forth motions of the beater head—not
side-to-side. Do be careful as you vacuum backward down the
stairs because we don't want to lose you.

Throw Rugs
Stand on one end of the throw rug to
keep it in place. Don't use back-and-
forth motions. Always vacuum away
from where you're standing, lift up the
beater head at the end of a stroke, and
start again to the right. (Move forward
on a long rug and repeat the process, if
necessary, until you reach the other end.) Then come back to the
starting point, where you had been standing originally, and do
that area from the other direction—again pushing away from
you and lifting the vacuum head at the end of a push.

When finished, wrap the cord around the vacuum and the
extension cord around the cord caddy.

How to Vacuum with Attachments
Unless the Vac gets a lot of use (hardwood floors, for example),
use it without a 50-foot extension cord. The Big Vac has several
attachments. The attachment you choose depends on whether
it's being used to vacuum the kitchen floor, the hardwood floors,
or furniture.

When vacuuming noncarpeted floors, point the vacuum exhaust
away from the area you have yet to vacuum so you don't stir up
dust. Also, pay special attention to areas where there are
electrical cords on the floor. The cords trap a lot of dust and
debris, so slow down and vacuum carefully.

When vacuuming furniture, follow The PMC rules: Start on the
left side at the top and work your way down and to the right.
