Overview of Kirby's Range of Attachments
Your Kirby has the flexibility to handle many cleaning assignments, and you’ll get the best results with the least work by using the correct attachment for each job.
Choosing the Right Attachment for Different Surfaces
The best attachment for each surface depends on whether the area is flat or contoured, easily accessed or difficult to reach, and its texture, such as stone or carpeting. Consider using the suction control grip to adjust for the surface texture and angle.
Best Tools for Carpet Stains
The best way to keep carpets clean is to vacuum thoroughly then shampoo. If there is a stubborn spot on the carpet, it can be removed with a Kirby Spot Remover or use Kirby's Pretreat for High Traffic Areas before shampooing for best results. The portable shampooer is best for stains on stairs or hard-to-reach areas.
Effective Attachments for Upholstery Cleaning
The upholstery nozzle is often best for upholstery, and pet owners should strongly consider using the optional Zippbrush. Its rotating brushes gently detach and vacuum pet and human hair from upholstery and other fabrics.

Benefits of Using Kirby Attachments
Your home likely includes various surfaces, including hardwood, tile, carpeted floors, curtains, blinds, and upholstery. The Kirby has a wide variety of cleaning attachments giving you the right tool for every job in your home.
Versatility and Ease of Use
Kirby vacuum tools include an attachment hose and extension tubes that provide access to ceilings, walls, and other difficult-to-reach areas. The numerous attachments can be easily switched as you move through your home.
Deep Cleaning Power for Stubborn Stains
Kirby vacuums deep clean with bristles that rotate at 3,200 RPMs and generate the airflow and suction to remove dander, dirt, and other debris. Before shampooing, vacuum the stain thoroughly with your vacuum set at the correct height. Pre-treating stubborn stains is also critical, but the key to removing stubborn stains is using Kirby's Multi-Surface Shampoo System. It applies foam rather than soapy water to remove stains and prevent their reappearance.
Maintaining and Caring for Your Kirby Attachments
Your Kirby comes with many of the best vacuum attachments available. While built to last, they will perform better and last longer if maintained properly.
Proper Cleaning and Storage Tips
Kirby attachments benefit from removing hair, threads, or other items caught in the brushes. An occasional rinsing also helps.
Kirby's Multi-Surface Shampoo System should be cleaned immediately after each use with mild soap and water and allowed to air dry before storing. (See your product manual for instructions). Proper cleaning removes soaps or chemicals from the tools and prevents potential clogs.
Extending the Lifespan of Your Tools
Your Kirby vacuum and accessories are engineered to last a lifetime. Some deep cleaning attachments, such as the optional Zippbrush, can accumulate hair or threads in the internal mechanism. Disassemble it occasionally to remove trapped items to ensure maximum efficiency.

The Kirby home cleaning system provides effective cleaning attachments that help keep your home looking gorgeous with one do-it-all tool. The deep suction vacuum removes dirt and allergens while easily converting to shampoo carpets or scrubbing other surfaces thoroughly.
