Forget fiber optics. Try the fiber vacuum brush attachment with your vac.

NEWS – Most vacuum brush attachments have a single suction point and solid bristles.  This Universal Vacuum Attachment has 30 tube “bristles”, and each is a 7″-long hollow suction tube.  The tubes are flexible, so they bend and fit easily into corners or into small spaces.  The brush does a better job cleaning, because the suction isn’t limited to a single point.

The attachment works with many (but not all) vacuums.  It comes with two adapters, and you should measure your vacuum’s hose to be sure one of the adapters will work with your machine.  If it does, you’ll be able to easily clean delicate plants, computer keyboards, air vents, and hard-to-reach areas in your home or car.

The Universal Vacuum Attachments Brush Cleaner is $10.95 at Amazon.
