Everyday vacuum cleaner accessories

The essential vacuum attachments for everyday whole-home cleans.

- LED lights let you clean dark, hard to reach spots.
Compatible with Dyson V15 Detect™ vacuum.

Low-reach adaptor
Visible dirt can be an indicator of dust mite colonies and bacteria already present in the home. Any floor surface covered by furniture is hard to reach, making it an optimal space for particles to build-up. The Dyson Low-reach adaptor is an essential attachment compatible with our Dyson cordfree vacuums.

Features:
- Bends low for comfortable reach, adjusting the wand angle up to 90°.
- A high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lip seal maintains suction so that all dust and allergens captured go directly to the bin.
  
  Compatible with Dyson V15 Detect™, Outsize, V11, Cyclone V10™, V8 and V7 cordfree vacuums.

Hair screw tool
To answer to the mess created by pet hair, our latest technology in vacuum cleaner accessories deals with hair removal. The Dyson Hair screw tool is designed with an anti-tangle conical brush bar, so that pet hair, dander and mites are completely cleared from surfaces. Hair shedding can trigger allergies and carry harmful fleas and mites. If you have pets at home, make sure you achieve a whole-home clean.

Features:
- A powerful integrated motor in the brush bar spins at up to 3500rpm, to lift and remove ground-in dander.
- Stiff nylon bristles guarantee unwavering contact with the floor to pull pet hair from any surface.
Compatible with Dyson V15 Detect™, Outsize, V11, Cyclone V10™, V8 and V7 cordfree vacuums.

Mattress tool
Skin flakes, dust, hair and pet dander all inhabit areas that we rest on. Your mattress can harbour millions of dust mites, who feed on skin flakes. Concerningly, the faeces of dust mites are one of the most regular inducers of allergens worldwide. To combat this, our vacuum attachments include an accessory specifically designed to target this surface area. The Dyson Mattress tool is built for most cordless vacuum models.

Features
- Engineered with an aperture to avoid sticking to fabric.
- Extra-wide to cover more mattress with each sweep.
- Also able to deep clean sofas, armchairs and other upholstery.
Compatible with Dyson V15™, V12™, V11™, Cyclone V10™, V8™ and V7™ vacuums.

Features:
- Reach up to 61cm further.

Up-top adaptor
Stationary high-up surfaces, including on top of kitchen cabinets, fridges and shelves are usually out of sight.

Features:
- Bends up to 130°.
- Locks at 98°, 65°, and 0° for flexible up-top cleaning.
