I'd wash the attachments in warm soapy water, scrub with a sponge. If any marks are stubborn, use a magic eraser pad on them.
For the rubber ring you can use a magic eraser as well and then wipe with cleaner. If it needs it, the ring is fairly easy to remove from the top dome, I think it just pops out, but it's been awhile since I had mine apart. Cords I usually just wash in soapy water too to loosen the grime. Just don't submerge the plug because it can let water in and cause corrosion. I take a towel or sponge and go up and down the cord to scrub it once it's soaked for a while. Obviously don't plug it in until it's had lots of time to dry. Car care products are good for cleaning the paint. I usually use a polishing compound to remove scuffs and light scratches. Then use a good wax to shine and polish it. Attachments can be hard to find. You could try posting in the Super Market section. |

Thanks so much for the information I just really didn't want to ruin it by using something won't. And the color attachment I need are a darker beige or light brown? I'll post pics soon :) |
