Cleaning the stairs w/the rotating brush of the upright or the power nozzle of a canister will bring the best results. Using an upholstery attachment or mini turbo brush will clean, but will not be as effective as the previously mentioned. The upright has a wider path, so cleaning the stairs can be completed faster than the upholstery attachment. It is also more aggressive than a mini turbo brush or suction alone. Even if the suction is strong, thorough cleaning of thicker carpeting requires more than suction.
Which is why I have always preferred using the electric mini nozzles that come with Kenmore and Electrolux. I have done my snare of stair cleaning too and the electric mini nozzles served quite well for me even on stair carpeting that had priorly gotten lick and a promise going over. The turboi nozzles depend too much on airflow to keep the brush running up ot speed and cleanning suction is sacrificed for that reason. Evewn if straight suction, maller tools also allow for easier access to routing lint and dust in corners and between balusters in one fell swoop. May not work for you but it certainly works for me -- and the job gets done in no time. Best, Venson PS -- forgot to mention it is usual to give the risers a hit too. That is not easily achieved with with a full-sized upright.
