The attachments included with your Shark vacuum cleaner will vary depending on which model you have chosen. Here’s a run-down of the best way to use the tools you are likely to already have…

Designed to remove dust and lint from upholstery, this wide, flat tool is perfect for refreshing sofas, curtains, cushions, car seats and more.
