    tiny vacuum for cleaning sewing machines and keyboards

    I have been looking for the small vacuums that are used to clean electronics and things. I looked at Walmart and Office Depot. The associates at Office Depot kept saying canned air? I said no, a vacuum that sucks up the dust. All we have is canned air. I know some of you have these; so where did you find yours?

    Try Amazon and use the search feature with "computer vacuum cleaner". They work wonderful on sewing machines as well as computers.

    I don't know of a tiny vacuum for this purpose. What I use is a tiny hose set:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BSJCLY/
    This attaches to the nozzle end of most vacuum cleaners, including both regular vacuums and handhelds.

    You can also use a regular vacuum cleaner hose by attaching a straw to a crevice tool with painter's tape. This doesn't work as well as the mini kit, but not too bad.

    I have this too and love it. Boy, the price is half what I paid about 5 years ago.

    Yup. I can't find my old set, so at this price I just ordered a new one. Much less expensive than when they first came out!

    I believe I've seen these in the Annie's catalogue (or the Keepsake Quilting catalogue).

    I got one at Harbor Freight, it's a hose with an adapter that fits your regular vacuum cleaner hose. It comes with several cleaning attachments and only cost me $10.00. www.harborfreight.com
