Accessories | My Car Vacuum

Check your vacuum's hose diameter - common sizes are 32mm, 35mm, and 38mm. Many accessories list compatible diameters and work with handheld, cordless, and corded models. Universal adapter kits include multiple sizes to fit various vacuums. When in doubt, measure your hose opening and compare to accessory specifications.

A flexible crevice tool is the most versatile accessory. It reaches between seats, into door pockets, around gear shifters, and into all the tight spaces cars have. Look for one at least 12 inches long with enough flexibility to bend around obstacles.

Motorized brushes are essential for pet hair and embedded dirt but unnecessary for basic debris. If you have pets or heavily soiled carpets, a motorized brush attachment is a worthwhile investment. For general cleaning, standard attachments suffice.

Quality third-party accessories work fine with most vacuums. Avoid cheap accessories with poor seals that reduce suction or rough edges that could scratch surfaces. Read reviews and choose reputable brands for best results.

Soft-bristle brush attachments are ideal for air vents - they dislodge dust without scratching the plastic. Small, narrow crevice tools also work well. Some kits include specialized vent brushes designed specifically for this purpose.
