DROITWICH-based floorcare giant Vax is going the extra inches to finish the cleaning jobs.

The company, which recently opened its new centre at Hampton Lovett, is launching two new additions to its lightweight AirTM vacuum cleaner range.

Lindsay Filmer, Vax head of category marketing for vacuums, explained: "Some upright vacuum cleaners fall short when it comes to cleaning in hard to reach places. If the hose doesn’t quite reach to the top of the stairs, carrying it up to finish the job can be a real drag. And if the cord isn’t long enough to stretch to your car, those crumbs on the back seat just aren’t going anywhere fast. These two new models will solve the problem of cleaning in those awkward, out of reach areas.

"The Vax AirTM Lift Steerable Pet has a portable lift-out cylinder for easy above the floor and stair cleaning, while the Vax AirTM Stretch comes equipped with an extra-long reach hose and cord, giving it 17 metres cleaning reach. Both models are rated AAAA for performance, delivering powerful pickup on carpets and hard floors."
