Master of Cleaning!

[eve11]

I visited the vacuum store down the street a few months ago to scope vacuums. The model we've had for ages is a Bissel that is not up for the task of our house. So this morning we finally went in to purchase a new weapon for our fight against fur factories.

We didn't pay as much as it says there on the price tag; it wasn't cheap, but holy heck is this thing awesome. After just one sweep our carpets upstairs looked a thousand times better than they have in years. We also got a little canister vacuum that has attachments and tools. I feel like a cleaning ninja now. Yay for getting the house under control!

They have very long fur. It doesn't get everywhere like short-haired cat fur, but where it does get, it's hard to get rid of. Our previous vacuum could not pick it up off the floor at all. I am so psyched that the new one can. :D

What did you do if you couldn't vacuum it before?

(a) Tried anyway.
(b) Once in a while, went at the carpets manually, using shoes or stiff brooms to gather up the cat hair out of the rugs to the point that the vacuum could get it.
(c) (sadly) left it go.

That sounds complicated. I think my worst vacuum adventure was the time that our apartment complex's shared vacuums all disappeared, and to clean before a party we had to creep around on the floor with strips of masking tape.
