Anyone have a good storage solution for a vacuum cleaner?

Question

I currently store my vacuum cleaners in the coat closet and linen closet. Would like any suggestions out there for a better way to store them so they don't take up so much space in the closets.

If you have a basement and they are not that heavy perhaps you can hang them there with the approppriate hooks.

I've seen vacuum cleaner covers that disguise the vacuum cleaner so you can leave it out. I wish I could tell you where. I don't remember

AmericanWoman · Answer

You might check with Sears,  etc .  They usually have the  scoop on these things.

Go to Home Depot and buy some barrels--the kind most people put plants into.  Cut in half lengthwise, stack on top of each other, carefully cut out one of the bottoms and one top.  Glue together using  something like epoxy or Gorilla Glue to fasten them together.  Be sure to clamp them tightly.  Paint or stain as you desire and stash your vacuum behind/inside it.  (I plan on doing this when I move next year!)

I store our vacuum in our pantry.  I have a Rainbow, which is a canister vacuum.   I hook to hose on a shelf, to keep it from getting stepped on.  Everything fits fine in the pantry, along with tour rug steam cleaner.  Most everything in the pantry is food, except for the front area of the pantry, where the vacuum (etc) is.

May sound crazy, but I leave mine out in the corner of the den. That way I don't have to lug it in and out of the closet. If I'm having a social gathering, I put it away in the laundry room.😉

Does it fit under your bed?

My bed is a platform bed...no room underneath, but I might be able to get one of them under the bed in the second bedroom :)

I use a large foot ottoman with a hinged lid

Try Etsy.

We have central vac so I need only to contend with the hose and attachements. The hose is rolled into a laundry hamper. The attachments are kept in the bottom and used for the lower floor. I have a hand vac which the attachments happen to fit on the central vac, so I keep the small vac next to my stereo in the dining room and the attachments are hidden in a basket under the stereo - it is a furniture sound system from the 70's!

Amazon does have vacuum cleaner covers. They're those doll covers like a maid, a granny, etc. Trouble is, I've seen them in people's homes and they don't sit right on the vacuum cleaner - unless they've improved them. Sheesh, I clicked on this discussion hoping to find a solution. Can someone make a fold-up vacuum cleaner that would fit in an ottoman?

I do the same thing which forces us 5 to rotate coats and for me have space in linen closet for extra toilet paper and paper towels. I love it. I have one upstairs and one downstairs. It's so awesome, but you asked so can you place a clean rug in garage and keep them there and lug them every time you use them. Or same thing for basement, as long as you place them on a clean surface so that they don't stain your carpet.

Make a fabric or maybe buy (If still available) a House maid, made from fabric. Make round head with wool hair and a Mop cap. Add dress (down to ground with sleeves and arms (held together Holding a work tool or Welcoome sign etc.) Slip over the top of vac and site in a corner.

We used our coat closet. Added shelving after measuring the height of the vaccum. Hold much more now.

Ours in in the corner of the kitchen and is kind of hidden by a microwave on a table.

I totally get your struggle. I used to store mine in the closet, too. What worked for me was getting a wall-mounted vacuum cleaner holder. It freed up closet space and kept everything tidy. You can find such holders online or at home improvement stores. Or, you could contact a cleaning robot manufacturer and get yourself a robot vacuum cleaner, as it takes up less space.

I have a 'Maid' cover on mine. It sits in the entrance hall to welcome folk when not in use! I purchased the fabric doll from ebay some years ago, Could possibly still be available, or maybe you could make one.
