A vacuum bag (10) attachment device and method. One embodiment provides a device for attaching a vacuum bag to a suction port of a vacuum cleaner (11), wherein the vacuum cleaner has a fixation projection (22) positioned adjacent the suction port (17). The attachment device comprises a holding plate (12) having a first aperture (15) configured and adapted to be received on the suction port of the vacuum. The holding plate also has a hinged portion (18) with a second aperture (21) positioned within the hinged portion. The hinged portion is moveable between a first position in which the hinged portion does not secure the holding plate to the vacuum and a second position in which the hinged portion secures the holding plate to the vacuum. The second aperture is configured and dimensioned to be received on the projection (22) adjacent the suction port of the vacuum cleaner when the hinged portion is in the second position.
