If you have any pets, then you want to make sure you get a pet tool kit for your central vacuum system. This is not only because it will help get the hair from pets in hard to reach places, but it will also allow you to actually groom your pet. You can groom and clean your pet using a central vacuum system when you have the pet tools for it.

If you worry about damage to your walls or furniture when you are pulling on the hose as you vacuum, you can get hose socks. Hose socks are a simple soft material that covers the hose and it protects your walls and other items in your home. It should be noted that a hose sock may not work with a Hide-A-Hose.

If you have a lot of cloth furniture, make sure you choose an attachment kit that includes an accessory for getting the hair, dirt and grime off that furniture. The last thing you want is to vacuum the entire house only to realize the chairs are covered in hair.

Look around your home and determine if you have a mixture of different types of flooring, then you should have an attachment kit that reflects that. It is important that you make sure you have a hardwood accessory for hardwood floors, a carpet accessory and a tile accessory as each floor type will need an attachment that is meant to be used on it.

Lastly, always make sure your attachment kit allows you to reach the hard to reach places. You need a thin attachment for getting in corners and under furniture, an attachment for getting that pesky fan above your head and more.
