Parquet nozzles

When you buy a new vacuum cleaner, it often comes with several different specialized nozzles that you can use for various cleaning tasks around the home. Over time, some of these nozzles will wear out or break, and other times your existing selection simply isn't up to the cleaning task you're facing. This means you'll need to get a new nozzle for your vacuum cleaner – and if so, you've come to the right place.

Generally, we recommend choosing a vacuum cleaner nozzle that matches the floors or furniture to be cleaned; simply to protect and care for the material as much as possible.

At Fnugfri, we have a wide selection of effective vacuum cleaner nozzles, as well as universal nozzles. If you want to know more about what to choose, you can read our guide: “Which vacuum cleaner should I choose?”

Parquet nozzle for hard floors

If you have hard floors at home, you need a specific type of nozzle. Hard floors include surfaces like wood, tiles, concrete, vinyl, and parquet, and if you're cleaning these types of floors, you should use a "parquet nozzle." A parquet nozzle is quite light and is actually slightly raised above your floor, because it "rests" on a lot of stiff bristles.

The clever thing about this type of nozzle is that you both sweep and vacuum up all the dust at once. If you use a nozzle designed for soft floors (e.g., for carpets), you will instead find that you are practically just moving the dust around instead of picking it up.

In addition, the stiff bristles make for a much smoother vacuuming experience, because the vacuum doesn't suck the nozzle completely onto the floor. If that happens, you risk small stones or grit scratching your floors. In other words, it is very important that you choose the correct nozzle for your vacuum cleaner at home.

Many of the parquet nozzles we have in our shop have multiple functions. Several, for example, have effective swivel joints, which make it easier to steer the nozzle in precise directions. Other brands offer nozzles with slightly softer bristles than usual. These types are especially good for floors that require more gentle cleaning.

Looking for a nozzle for a specific brand?

There are many different vacuum cleaner brands that make parquet nozzles. And if you're looking for a vacuum cleaner nozzle that matches the look and design of the machine itself, we fortunately have a large selection at Fnugfri. For example, you can find nozzles for vacuum cleaners from well-known brands such as:

• Miele
• Nilfisk
• Electrolux
• Twinner
• … and many more.

If we don't have a nozzle of the same brand as your vacuum cleaner, we fortunately have another good solution for you. On this page, you'll find a selection of special "universal nozzles" that fit most vacuum cleaners and brands. The clever thing about such a nozzle for your vacuum cleaner is that you don't have to worry about whether the nozzle fits the machine or model. As a general rule, these universal nozzles fit most brands.

Unsure what to choose?

If you're looking for a new nozzle for your vacuum cleaner, it's important to know what you need in advance. Before buying, we therefore recommend that you always ask yourself the following:

• What brand is my vacuum cleaner?
• Do you need a special nozzle for the brand?
• Do I need a specific nozzle to complete the task?
• Is the surface to be vacuumed hard or soft?

If you have both hard and soft floors at home, you can do several things. You can either get a nozzle for hard floors and a nozzle for soft floors, which you switch between as needed. Alternatively, you can get a combi nozzle, which can be used on both hard and soft floors – simply by switching between functions using a set of buttons on the nozzle itself.

It's also a good idea to have vacuum cleaner nozzles that can get into smaller crevices and corners. In that case, you can, for example, use the more gentle upholstery brushes to handle that part of the cleaning.
