After first getting migraines 10 years ago, I started wondering why. Earlier this week, after a migraine that lasted two days, I finally connected the dots: I am gluten intolerant.
Thankfully, anything with gluten is something I probably shouldn’t consume anyway.
@variablepulserate Oh I don't clean the house all at once either.
Vacuuming the carpets has been occurring roughly weekly. The upstairs carpets on the upper floors takes me maybe 20 minutes.
The downstairs is a laminate (not carpeted) floor and gets vacuumed a couple times a week or as-needed because cat litter.
Other housecleaning tasks are done as needed. There is little need to do a "top to bottom" cleaning.
@variablepulserate That's part of the reason I bought a second one. That and the battery life on the first one I bought wasn't long enough to do all the carpets in the condo in one go. The new one can do them all with some battery to spare.
A friend of a friend contacted me on Facebook messenger…or so I thought. Apparently their account got hacked, which I verified “out of band.”
Why do I still use this damn thing? Oh, right, my day job. 🙄
@peemee the mini is probably my favorite size. I have a 6 that I use as a soundboard most of the time. 😉
@variablepulserate yes. The higher end unit I bought (yes, I actually bought two of them) came with the light-up head specifically for hard floors. It also does carpets with a different head. The other unit is a little smaller and works great in my car as well as for touchups on the ground floor (no carpet there). The attachments are interchangeable.
May have spent more than necessary, but at the end of the day, if it helps me clean the house more often, which helps with my allergies, it’s a good investment. Given what I see coming out of those vacuums, I’d say it’s doing a good job, too.
@variablepulserate neither can I. Of course, I haven’t spent a lot of time looking at it either since I only recently started listening to Rush (and buying vinyl).
@matigo I have a cat. Not quite the same size as Ayumi, I’m sure, but he definitely generates his share of fur.
The head for hard floors that literally illuminates the dirt on the floor is an eye-opener, though.
Dyson vacuums are expensive, but they’re worth it, both in terms of ease of use and quality of result.
I actually vacuum my floors weekly now. And I’m pretty sure it’s also vacuuming up dirt from previous tenants. My car has never been cleaner, either.
