When both of the hose ends are loose, simply pull it off of your vacuum cleaner. Some hoses have small clips on them. If that's the case for your vacuum, press down on the clip tab and pull it out from the port. If there's a clog that you can see in either your hose or where the hose connects to the vacuum, try to reach in with a pair of needle nose pliers. Grab the blockage and pull it out from your vacuum so it doesn't prevent any suction. Check your hose attachments and wand to see if there are any clogs in them that may prevent your vacuum from having full suction. Unravel a wire hanger so you have a long piece of metal that you can feed into the nozzles on your vacuum. Push one end of the wire hanger into the nozzles until you hit a clog. Push the wire up and down to try and break the blockage apart. When you're finished, pull the hanger out of the vacuum cleaner. You may also use a snake tool meant for cleaning vacuum cleaners. The tool may be found online. Be careful as you feed the hanger into your hose since the wire could puncture through it. Screw each end of the hose back onto the ports on your vacuum. As soon as they're sealed, plug your vacuum in and test its suction. You should have full suction after removing all of the clogs.

SUMMARY: Unscrew the hose from your vacuum. Use a pair of pliers to pull out any clogs at the ends of the hose. Poke a wire hanger through the hose and tubes to get rid of deeper clogs. Replace the hose on your vacuum and try it again.

For example, if you're selling homemade tarot decks, use hashtags like #tarot, #tarotcards, #tarotlove, and #tarottuesday so people browsing those hashtags come across your decks. You can send items to local celebrities, influencers, bloggers, and regular Instagram users in exchange for these people posting your products on their feeds. This can help you reach new buyers. The best way to approach this is to comment with your contact details on someone's Instagram post, asking if you can send them an item. You can also try sending a direct message, but don't be spammy. You are most likely to be successful at this technique if you look for influencers who typically post goods from Instagram stores. Every follower is a potential customer, so make sure to respond to follower comments and questions in a polite and timely manner. If you're not receiving a lot of comments, ask your followers questions in your posts. You can also interact with your followers on their own accounts. Like their photos and make comments to keep your business on their radar. Ask politely for photo feedback when your buyers receive their items. Upload any feedback, cultivating positive impressions about your business. Strive for courteous, professional service. The fact that you are running your business on Instagram does not excuse you from the standards of professional behavior. Serve people kindly and politely, and don't get annoyed when customers nag you. Your posts represent your business, so make sure your posts are of the best possible quality. Stick to certain filters and color schemes to give your account its own recognizable style, and develop your brand's "voice" in your captions. Do not neglect your shop. Update photos every day, and don't hesitate to re-upload items. If business is slowing down, focus on expanding your followers. Try following similar stores and shops, people who share your aesthetic, and people who follow other stores like yours to encourage new folks to click over to your store.

SUMMARY:
Use relevant and trending hashtags in your sales posts. Ask other Instagram users to promote your products. Engage with your followers. Post only high-quality content. Stay active.
