A. Cleaner - Your Maytag cylinder cleaner uses a unique prin-
ciple called “air lift” which allows the cleaner to glide across
your rugs without any pulling or tugging. That’s right, this cylinder acts
just like it would in space, floating over your floors and not touching the
ground. Not only is this great because it doesn’t have wheels to
scratch and mark your floors, but it pulls along with you intuitively-creating an effortless and weightless cleaning experience.
B. Hose and Hand Grip - The flexible hose is super-light, flexible and
easy to use. It stretches out easily for that extra length you need, and
then quickly contracts to its original length when the job is done. You’ll
find it’s light in your hands, never kinks, and is easy to control-- so that
you can easily clean your space from top to bottom.
The Maytag cylinder cleaner gives you cleaning attachments for
every job...
C. Soft Touch™ Floor Brush Nozzle - There is no better way to clean
your hard surface spaces than to use the Soft Touch™ straight air floor
nozzle. It is wide enough to cut down on cleaning time and delicate
enough not to scratch your floors.
D. Turbine Nozzle - If your space is lined with carpet, then the air-
driven nozzle is for you. The cylinder cleaner’s suction power will drive
the brush-roll located on the underside of this nozzle to get down into
the fibers of your carpet, sucking up dirt and particles leaving with you
a clean space.
E. Combination Tool - With this new combination tool, you can easily
clean upholstered furniture, curtains, and mattresses. You’ll find it ideal
for cleaning the interior of your car.
F. Crevice Tool - The crevice tool is designed for cleaning even the
most cramped spaces. Get between furniture cushions, around skirting, under furniture and all those hard to get to places.
G. Dusting Brush - A dusting brush that is great for use on tables,
lamp shades, carved furniture, venetian blinds, shelves, and more.
Used properly, it won’t scratch surfaces, and it will save you time dusting around the house. Why use chemicals for your dusting, when you
can get that space squeaky-clean with the cylinder cleaner’s dusting
brush.
H. Telescoping Extension Wand - Used with the flexible clear hose
and any tool you can clean your ceiling, floors, or stairs in one easy
step. Adjust the wand to the desired length, release latch and you are
ready to go. Because the extension wand is light and easy to use,
you’ll tire less--making all of your above-floor cleaning a breeze.
I. Tool Holder - Tools are easily accessible and ready to use for all
your cleaning needs.
J. Extra Filter Bag - (one installed in cleaner) The Maytag cylinder
cleaner doesn’t stop at effortless cleaning; it also uses a HEPA filtration
waste-bag so that the air coming out of your cylinder cleaner is cleaner
than the air it’s sucking in. The HEPA filtration bag traps dirt, dust mites
and other small particles leaving you with a cleaner space.
