Why shouldn’t you throw away toilet paper rolls?
Despite meticulous cleaning of the house, some areas remain difficult to reach. Dirt and dust accumulate there without being able to be effectively dislodged. Therefore, a toilet paper roll can be of great help to you in cleaning areas of the house that are difficult to access, using a vacuum cleaner.

Although the vacuum cleaner contains a set of nozzles capable of cleaning the smallest corners of the house, these may not be the answer to all our problems. If the toilet paper roll can come to the rescue, it is because you can give it the shape you want. Since it folds very easily while being malleable, it can easily reach the smallest spaces and the most out-of-reach corners while acting on them thanks to its sufficiently firm material. It thus easily grabs the dirt.

All you have to do is place the cardboard roll on the hose of your vacuum cleaner and tackle all the areas you couldn’t reach, such as window frames, baseboards, air vents, radiators or even the computer keyboard.

With this trick, you can create your own low-cost nozzle, effective on surfaces that are out of reach.
