Every day???!!! Sounds like cruelty to hoovers to me!

Those of us who do not want to wear out our hoovers are also saving on electricity. Every little counts.

My vacuum sometimes doesn't make it back to the utility room between uses.I have two cats one with beautiful long silken WHITE hair you can see where she walks by the hair trail .Normally I have the GC a lot too so double trouble .

I have acquired a wee robot hoover, who goes walk about 2 or 3 times a week and can be contained in one room by simply shutting the door/s, if only that room needs a clean up.

When I empty his dust tray and filter, it is full of silver blonde hair. Me being the only resident, with neither cat nor dog, I can only conclude that I will soon be bald.

Charleygirl No, I would not wish to wear out my hoover

Love it! My sentiments exactly! smile

I consider myself reasonably fastidious but every day...... NO.

No, when it looks like it needs it, I have a small long handled brush and pan that I sweep crumbs up with in the kitchen. As Charleygirl says don’t want to wear out my expensive Dyson. ??

Er, I dont understand the question! confused

I vacuum twice a week, but in between I have Dyson cordless handheld gadgets - 1 upstairs, 1 down, to pick up crumbs, cat hair, bits that drop off shoes onto the doormat and bits blown in if the doors are open.
Also I dust without polish daily with a Lakeland glove thingy. ?

No! I vacuum when needed and not often. Vacuuming even less in lockdown.

Bellasnana Sun 17-May-20 10:31:48

Every day, sometimes twice as I have the hairiest dog on earth!
Even after brushing him he still sheds hair like you wouldn’t believe.?

No I don't! My flat gets vacuumed when it needs it, and only then.

Having conversation with friend this morning she was asking me, how often do I vacuum, and was I doing it more since lockdown or less, I’d say it’s the same, I don’t go into every room every day no, but I do vacuum downstairs everyday and clean my floors, she was saying she vacuums once a week, she has no pets so no flurries of pet hair,
