Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even simple hacks can go wrong if done carelessly.
Don’t Use Wet Cardboard
Moisture weakens cardboard and reduces suction effectiveness.
Always use a dry roll.
Don’t Force It
If the tube collapses too much:
- Lightly reshape it
- Don’t crush it completely
Gentle pressure works best.
Don’t Use on Sharp Objects
Avoid vacuuming sharp metal or glass pieces that could tear the cardboard or damage the hose.
