    Best for cleaning tight spots between and under seats?

    The vacuum cleaner with the tube wont quite get where i need to get. Pet hair and such in there. Looking to trade in the near future and trying to get her all cleaned up, and this is sorta the last little bit to get to. Any tricks or suggestions? Tried vacuuming and it doeant get it all. Lint roller helped but again its a tight spot and couldnt really roll around in there. What else works?

    jrock645- I suppose you already tried peeling a sheet or two off the lint roller (assuming...adhesive sheets-type roller) and just jamming that down in there. I`m trying to think of anything (else) special I`ve had to do and/but just can`t come up with anything, funny since I`m dealing with this all the time.

    Compressed air nozzle. You blow the stuff out to an area where you can vacuum it up. One with a curve like this I found easier to get where I need it. Best for cleaning tight spots between and under seats?-img_0049.jpg

    when i had a body shop we used to blow out the whole car first and then go for the vacuum ... of course do this before washing as the dust can get pretty bad from some cars

    Missed the no compressor part.

    I like the leaf blower idea.

    Do you have a long handled brush with a narrow brush head? I have one that is probably 10" long. It will fit in between the seat and center console. Brush the carpet from above and from below the seat. Then your vacuum will pick up more. HD has a RIGID wetvac attachment that is a long crevice tool (maybe 14-18`) that has a flexible section in middle that allows it to fit in more places.

    The Rigid flexible crevice tool is awesome! Got with my vacuum and made cleaning tight areas so much easier.

    ok .. if your home vacuum has and extending wand, they usually come with a crevice tool ... I often use the "Animal" from Hoover for removing dog hair

    I don`t have an air compressor either, so I have been using my Metro Blaster Sidekick for blowing debris out from under seats before vacuuming. Not as good as compressed air, but sufficient for a home hobbyist.

    My dyson has a crevice too but its too tight to be able to really move around and get to everything.
