Vacuum With Pantyhose for Retrieving Small Items

I'm not sure where I heard this from but, I thought it was a good idea.

When you lose something very small like an earring, or even a contact this should work. Take some panty hose and place it on the attachment nozzle from your vacuum so that when you turn the vacuum on and gently go over the spot you think your item may be. the pantyhose will stop it.
