The Dirt on CLEANING: Let's Play a Game: What's THAT For?! Today's Puzzle: Vacuum Attachments

HELLOOOOO America! I'm Vax Muucav and welcome back to the hottest new Game Show on VacTV where we ask you....
"WHAT'S - THAT- FOR?!"

Our three challengers have raced the clock and each to guess what today's"Mystery Items" are used for. Can YOU guess?

This is our final round. Tina, you're in the lead. Contestants, are you ready?

Here's today's Mystery Item...

Now tell me, "WHAT'S - THAT - FOR?!"

MYSTERY ITEM: What's THAT for?

BUZZZ!

Vax: Yes, Rick?

Rick: That clearly is for spreading frosting on icecream cake.
Vax: Oh, I'm sorry, that is incorrect.

BUZZZ!

Vax: Stan! Tell us, what's that for?

Stan: That is for raking patterns in Japanese ornamental rock gardens.

Vax: Oh no, that too is incorrect, Stan.

BUZZZ!

Vax: Tina! For the win, can you tell us - what's that for?

Tina: Um, like, I think that is for sucking the cat fur and dust off the furniture?

Vax: COOORRRRECT!

Vax: Now Tina, for 10 Bonus points, can you tell us what's it CALLED?

Tina: Um, a "couchy suckmeister?"

Vax: Oh, good try, but that is incorrect.

That, America, is an upholstery tool! One of three typically-standard attachments that come with most vacuum cleaners, this flat, somewhat wide tool may come with or without bristles. Either way, it is designed to maintain a gentle amount of suction over a wide, relatively flat area. It is perfect for pulling dust and allergens out of soft surfaces like upholstered couches or car seats, carpeted stairs or even your mattress. Equipped with short, stiff bristles or flocking (like a lint brush) it will pull up stubborn lint and pet hair. Do YOU have one at home? If so - and now that you know what it's for - are you using it?!

Vax: Congratulations Tina, you are today's big winner!

Let's show America the amazing prizes you've earned today...

(Curtain Draws Back)

...A lifetime supply of premium Vacuum Cleaner Bags!

Tina: Um, wow. Thanks. But there are only 10 bags there...how will that last a lifetime? I have 2 hairy dogs.

Vax: Knew you'd ask.....

(Curtain #2 draws back)

That's because you've also won a Brand New... Hairless Cat!

Get rid of those tired, hairy mutts and bask in the love and easy upkeep of this designer feline. With no fur, it'll take forever to fill those bags!

Thanks for watching, America! And remember, the next time you encounter a peculiar object, ask yourself "W-T-F?"..... WHAT'S THAT FOR?!
