Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Make room in a closet. Store it in a first-floor coat closet if that is the floor you vacuum the most.

Step2

Find space in a laundry room. Sometimes there is room between the washing machine and dryer that is just big enough for a smaller vacuum.

Step3

Lay your vacuum cleaner flat so it can fit under the bed--that is, providing your vacuum cleaner folds flat and you have space under your bed.

Step4

Move things in the pantry to make room. If you have a walk=in pantry, chances are there is a lot more room in there than you think. Just clear some room on the floor.

Step5

Buy a cover for a vacuum you plan to leave out in the open. They come in a variety of styles and colors. Find a cover that matches the rest of the decor in your home.

Step6

Clean out a space in the garage. If you have exhausted all other options, you should be able to find a few feet to hide a vacuum cleaner in there.

Tips & Warnings

If all else fails, use your vacuum cleaner as a coat hanger or call it art when friends come over. Just make sure it is not dusty if you plan on doing that.
Don't forget to wind the cord so no one trips over it, no matter where you decide to hide your vacuum cleaner.
