Godfreys is one of Australia’s leading retailers of vacuum cleaners.
Their website is:Â http://www.godfreys.com.au
They often advertise Free Steam Mops with a vacuum cleaner sale.
They have answers for the following questions:
- My vacuum cleaner seems to have lost suction. What can I do about this?
- Does my vacuum cleaner need to be serviced?
- Can I use any type of paper or plastic bag in my vacuum cleaner?
- Can my vacuum cleaner pick up water?
- Can I use my vacuum cleaner to clean the fireplace?
- Are bagless vacuum cleaners better than bag vacuum cleaners?
- I have a sore back. Is an upright vacuum cleaner better for me to clean my carpet?
- Should I use my home vacuum cleaner at work – office or shop?
- My vacuum cleaner has a musty smell. How can I get rid of this?
- My upright vacuum cleaner (or powerbrush) sounds like it is working but isn’t picking up properly. What could be wrong?
- The motor on my vacuum cleaner sounds noisy. Should I get it serviced?
- When should I change my vacuum cleaner bag?
- When should I change filters?
- We are doing a renovation, can I use my vacuum cleaner to pick up plaster/cement dust?
- How do I find the right replacement paper bag for my vacuum cleaner?
I would like to buy a vacuum cleaner for my fireplace. Is there one on the Australian market.
Thank you for your information.
Yours kindly,

That isn’t something that I have ever seen here, but then I also haven’t seen many fireplaces here.
They seem to be commonly available in some parts of the United States, but the only mention of vacuums and fireplaces I can find, in Australia, is on the Godfreys vacuum website, where it says:
My feeling is that the vacuum filter would need replacing afterwards, or at the very least, substantial cleaning.
Something like this for about US$90, added to a home vacuum, looks like an option, but it involves shipping in from the USA. http://www.woodlanddirect.com/Fireplace-Accessories/Fireplace-Ash-Vacuums/Bad-Ash-Fireplace-Cleaner
Or, in the UK for £20 at http://www.redsave.com/products/ash-wizard
There may be a market, in some parts of Australia, for someone to import these. With them selling for only A$32 in the UK… I wonder what the delivery charge is ?
The attachment for cleaning fireplaces mentioned above can be purchased from http://www.vacuumspot.com.au they are $69.
