It's no secret I am not a fan of vacuuming. But truthfully, knowing how to do it properly makes it a more palatable job that I can get done in less time. This is how I train my staff to do it and many of them have had those wonderful 'a-ha' moments, where they'll say they wished they knew this years ago. I hope you enjoy!

Let us know your questions, tips and tricks in the comments!
Hey! I LOVE your videos! BUT...I must disagree with one very crucial tip that I know you recommend a lot.... Baking soda! I actually own and operate a vacuum cleaner store (believe it or not!) I am a certified vacuum technician as well. In our professional opinion and experience, baking soda is an extremely dangerous product to use in both your vacuum and carpet!! Here's why: Its fine, powdery nature quickly CLOGS the bag or filters of your vacuum. This microscopic obstruction badly strains the motor. Additionally, the dust can and will eventually pull into the motor, prematurely shorting it out. Unless the user throws out the bag mid-use, or stops to clean or change the vac's filters, it will clog and may shut itself off due to overheating. (And of course nobody ever takes this precaution haha!) This powder is very similar to that havoc caused by sheetrock dust...death to vacuums!
Secondly, baking soda is destructive to carpet fiber. No vacuum is able to recover all of the powder from the recesses of the carpet. Much sifts through in the padding and down do the base floor. What's left behind will indeed absorbs odors. However the soda is microscopically sharp and abrasive! When walking over the carpet over time, the "leftovers" cut the carpet fiber at its base. This destroys the carpet :-(
I'm sorry to leave a "downer" of a comment :-( But I love your channel, think all your tips are amazing. My conscious just bugged me with fear that folks might blow up their vacuums!! Keep up the great work otherwise!
QueenVac I forgot to add one thing.... Vacuuming slowly and thoroughly and very regularly with a high-quality, bagged vacuum (with an electric power nozzle attachment) will keep your carpets fresh and free of odors and allergens. No need for additives like baking soda. Once in a great while (if the type of carpet allows it) use an extractor/carpet washing machine to rinse the carpet clean with special solution and water. I do not recommend applying anything that leaves behind powder or residue of any kind. Some folks may feel like that's too much work, but carpets are an expensive investment and an often-overlooked element in the health of your home. Maintenance done correctly is crucial!
+QueenVac I use a Kirby. What's your opinion on them
I cannot recommend Dyson in good conscious. I'm sorry. We as a rule do NOT recommend bagless vacuums, period. We see far too much product failure, warranty and they are highly unsanitary due the nature of the maintenance required (emptying, hand washing filters monthly, etc.) Most people cannot keep up with that, no can be exposed to the collected allergens at that high level. Bagless do not handle dirt well internally either, and thus do not last very long. Dyson is no exception. I'd send you to some more specific educational resources that I produce or to my vacuum store, but I don't feel it would be or appropriate here or respectful to Melissa. Thanks for asking and good luck!!
I really appreciated reading this comment. It is wonderful that you acknowledge and respect the "Clean My Space" channel while also offering your own experience and expertise to the specific topic.
Hey! May you recommend the best types of vacuums?
I love how you pointed out that taking time to vacuum is necessary. A carpet cleaning company told me to vacuum as slow as I would use a traditional carpet shampooer, which needs to be loved slowly to remove all water. He also recommended going from two different directions. N to S and E to W, with overlapping passes.
Vacuuming is so much easier and quicker than sweeping and mopping!! So I prefer to vacuum and I love seeing the vacuum marks on the carpet.
Those lines do make a room look polished, I agree!
Not only that but the scent after that makes me giddy like a psycho!
Clean My Space you're cute

yasss!
Our dogs track in dirt. Not med, but just that dry dusty dirt that quietly covers the whole floor if you skip a day vacuuming.
Seeing the contrast when I first start is so satisfying. Like there’s just 1 strip of clean carpet so far, & it “wasn’t even that dirty,” but there’s a noticeable color difference once it’s vacuumed. I LOVE that. I’m literally about to vacuum now; thanks for the motivation to get on that.
LOVE vacuuming! Especially with my FilterQueen! No dust in the air... it actually works as an air cleaner while I vacuum. I have bad allergies and had NO relief until i bought one second hand in 10/10 condition. I use it for bare floors, furniture, blinds, EVERYTHING! I always feel my home is 150% cleaner after vacuuming lol
I have to say you're doing a great job describing on how to use a vacuum. I would suggest to be careful with the baking soda since it's so fine it can cause damage to the motor. It's similar to picking up dry wall dust, which you should never do with a residential vacuum. Your attention to detail and research on your topics are commendable. If you have any questions about vacuums, contact me. More than happy to help. Keep up the good work and have a great day ....... Tyler
I have the Dyson purple pet vacuum, and I LOVE using it! I don't care for vacuuming the stairs, but love the finished product. 😊
That's the kind of vacuum I need
Luv vacuuming. It gives immediate gratification.
Me too!
Christopher
I like the accomplished feeling after vacuuming a room

Great video again Melissa! You are so helpful! I moved in with my boyfriend a couple years ago and now that i have to do everything by myself you have saved my life! Please show us how to clean sneakers and running shoes and how to clean drawers with clothes! And keep in mind that here in Greece we also don't use dryers! We use our beloved friends the sun and air! We love you!!!!
I was surprised to see that you vacuum has 2 different heads for hard floors and carpet floors. Where I'm from (Sweden) I've never seen that. Here we have only one head with a flip switch on the head, that you easily step onto, that flips the carpet brush bristles away from or onto the floor (and some fancy vacuums have a sensore thingy that flips it). Maybe its a Swedish thing? Maybe its a European thing? Maybe its because we don't usually have completely carpeted floors. Wooden, linoleum ect floors are more common here.
(We don't walk around in our shoes inside homes either)
Love from Sweden!
I'm in Australia and we've got the flip switch on the head too, i think it's the brand you own.
In the USA people, I guess, were not taught to shoes off except in some cultures so it is hard to retrain people, including relatives. The floor attachment also
dusts the floor with a pile roller so it doesn't work well on carpets. I like the idea of the flip switch.
Vaccuuming is the most soothing task in the world, absolutely love everything about it ❤️
I LOVE vacuuming! My friend got me in the habit after I had a really bad allergy season and he recommended I do it every other day. Since then, my dad and I always find vacuums at yard sales and fix them up, selling our old ones. About a month ago, we got a Dyson DC07 for $5. It had horrible suction until I tore it down, ordered a few replacement gaskets, and cleaned it all up before putting it back together. DYSON RULES. Root-Cyclone has no comparison.
A friend of mine is now an engineer who designs vacuum cleaners. Totally jealous.
It beats cleaning the oven, moving the fridge, moving other heavy furniture, clearing the bookshelves to dust, cleaning baby mess ....
You are amazing Mellissa. Well done with the videos. Quite entertaining as well as educational
I hated vacuuming until I watched this video. It brought me to tears every time. Turns out I’ve been vacuuming wrong. Hopefully employing these tips will help!💀
Since I own a cordless vacuum, I love it! :-)
For cleaning your vacuum bristles as well as paint brushes I use a steel cat or dog comb. I like the comb that has 2 different spacings (narrow & wide)on the same comb. Conversely you could also use a paint brush comb on your vacuum brushes. Cleaning the crevice tool is similar to what you do. Soak it in hot water and Dawn detergent. But use a bottle brush to get harder to remove dirt. In fact, I have a zip lock bag of brushes in addition to a toothbrush that I use on all types of cleaning projects. Any item that comes with it’s own brush is fair game for my collection; like brushes that come with electric razors. A coffee measure with a long handle and a stiff brush on the end. I found several packages with a variety of brushes at Harbor Freight. For these brushes to work efficiently, clean and dry them after each use.
5 Vacuuming Tips That SUCK!!
Your my cleaning role model!
can you do a video that shows how to get rid of fleas? thanks.
Mar Mallorca Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) drys out flea bodies and eggs and is a natural way to eliminate them. Can purchase at most garden centers. Only food grade is safe but must remain dry to be effective.
+Clean My Space I hate vacuuming it sux :)
I love vacuuming !
I hate vacuuming but love how my home looks after it is done. I have an adorable Jack Russell terrorist and she sheds like crazy. We previously had a Bischon and before that a Lhasa Apso, totally non shedding. The Jack hair is small, white and absolutely gets everywhere. You really have to be a dog or cat lover to put up with their hair loss. We are in this family that is why we purchased the Dyson for pet hair. Your idea of the squigee really works on the stair carpet in a pinch. Thanks for sharing that one. I love all your videos, please keep them coming.
This couldn't have come out in better timing! I was going to vacuum today.. lol
even though I still really don't want to ..
"Hi Melissa love you'r videos i'm learning alot i just vaccumed today i bought a shark lift away the purple one i don't like vaccuming but it had to be done! during the first 10 min i was getting worn out , so i took you'r advice & slow down i had forgotten how hard it is to do such a chore but well worth it !! Thank you melissa!!!
I love a brand new vacuum and I always get excited to use it, after s while the charm fades and it's just another chore again.
So, all you have to do is buy a new vacuum every few weeks ;)
Thanks for watching Jessie Reinke !
Exactly! Try explaining that to the mister!
I love to vacuum. Now sweeping and mopping the floor is rough. Don't get me started on the bathroom. However the video on how to clean one properly has helped and saves some time.
I am a vacuum collector, I have 13. I use my Kirby G5 for most of my vacuuming. I don't like the Dyson too much.
I recently discovered your channel, and I love olives. I also like to vacuum, but I do NOT like vacuuming stairs. Thanks for the tips!
What a beautiful woman. Absolutely stunning .
"woman"........................and yes she is :-)
I love ALL your videos btw. But I LOVE vacuuming, very therapeutic for me!! I have always used the W pattern. I'm a perfectionist so I enjoy making it look perfect and beautiful while making the house clean and smell better, I always use a scented carpet powder by Arm and Hammer which I also love. It makes me feel like I'm sucking out all the bad vibes from the day, I used too vacuumed twice a day!! Lol... Now very sadly we have all hardwood floors, I miss my carpet!!
I LOVE vacuuming because its the refreshing job well done afterwards that pays it off.....that and i love seeing how much dirt i got out of my carpets XD
Great tip about the "w" pattern thanks. I've never really understood or used my attachments, will go back and look at them with a different perspective now.
Hey.. Please show how to take hair out - that rolls in the base/powerhead of the vaccum? Its a big hassle...
Sometimes the easiest things are the most over-looked. I do a lot of sewing....so I'm familiar with a tool called a "seam ripper". It's a small apparatus with a hooked shape cutter....and it makes slicing through hairs and fibers that get caught in your vacuum rollers very, very easy. I tend to run it through my vacuum rollers periodically to prevent a bigger accumulation later. Quick and easy process.
Use a seam ripper on 2 sides of the vacuum brush, then run a comb over it til the hair, etc, is gone. Works like a charm.
I took your advice! I have a huge area rug that my husky loves to sleep on. When vacuuming today I decided to vacuum the rug first. After finishing the rug I poured on the baking soda and went to vacuum the remaining home. I got back to the area rug and surprisingly the baking soda came up very easily. When I looked at my vacuum brush to my surprise there was a significant amount of dog hair that came up. (AGAIN!) I actually thought it was clean the first time. The room also smelled a lot cleaner with the baking soda added on the rug. A huge thanks!
I quite like hoovering but wish the damn thing weren't so heavy to lug around :)
I have an expensive Miele vacuum with heap filter, two shedding dogs. I like this video and others here so thanks Melisa and keep it up! but I would never use baking soda.
Did you know…that baking soda can be dangerous for your vacuum cleaner?
Baking soda is one of nature's great deodorizers. Effective and inexpensive, baking soda can be used in so many different ways from cooking to cleaning, and is often used to absorb unpleasant odors.
Thus, baking soda and other powder-based carpet fresheners are very popular products on today's market. When sprinkled on carpet and vacuumed up, these products work by absorbing bad smells, and often have added perfumes so as to leave behind a fresh fragrance on the rug and in the room. That's great - except for two big problems...
1. The particles of baking soda are so small, that a portion of the product remains in the carpet fiber and/or sifts beneath the rug and padding to the floor below (never to be recovered!) Don’t believe me? If you use baking soda and one day rip up your carpeting, you’ll see a surprising amount of its residue left behind!
2. Again, due to the small particle size of baking soda or freshener product, these can clog the pores of your vacuum’s bag or HEPA filter. This can drastically reduce suction resulting in poor cleaning performance and cause clogs to form. Even worse, this dust can escape the filtration system in which your vacuum’s motor can “breathe” these particles and eventually short out.
I LOOOOOVE VACUUMING. It's the only task I could do all day
This comment is way late but I love vacuuming, for me it goes back to infancy my mother said the only way I'd go down for a nap was if she had the vacuum cleaner running where I could hear it.
The sound is still soothing to this day, we had a cleaning business cleaning churches and I loved vacuuming the larger rooms.
The smell of a freshly cleaned carpet is also really soothing.
I use a Shark Navigator Pro now and love it to bits, the best vacuum cleaner I've ever owned.
I hate vacuuming but I do love cut lines:)
for some reason I actually love vacuuming it just makes me feel like my house is a whole lot cleaner and thanks for all the nice videos I love them please continue doing this for many years it make me the happiest person you would ever meet you give me so many ideals of how to clean my house thanks
I am so pleased you love them :) hopefully we will get to meet one day! Where do you live? We are trying to plan out meet ups :)
Love to vacuum, HATE carpet. Go figure!
I love watching these videos! They inspire me to keep my home clean. Thank you so much Melissa! (Btw I hate to vacuum too! My husband does all the vacuuming)
Glad to hear, Nicole Gimlen !
I read that baking soda can get into the motor and ruin it. Have you heard this?
Use the foam.
I haven't heard that...
Yes, I've heard the same thing. The guy at the Oreck store told my mom not to vacuum any powdery stuff like that. It's unfortunate because i love the baking soda idea but am scared to ruin the vacuum :(
barnyard27 What foam?
There's a substantial reply up above that discusses this.....good information to consider. I don't recall her name....but you should be able to spot it.
Hello! About a month ago I found at an estate sale a 2 month old German made vacuum called SEBO X4. Retail goes for $770-850 & I paid $250!!!! The quietest, most powerful vacuum ...You, like everyone else will donate your Dyson to charity! BTW, like the SEBO, YOU ARE fabulous on an international scale !! CHEERS!
I love vacuuming with a Dyson!!!
It makes it so much easier, doesn't it?
Thanks for watching Nichola Whitehead !
***** Totally! Just subscribed to your newsletter too - if you ever need any healthy recipes then do check out my channel :) xx
Their full sized uprights are awesome.
I bought an Electrolux canister vac with a hepa filter over 20 years ago and it still works like a champ! But I do not have wall to wall carpet anymore - mainly because the edges of the carpet at the wall always get dirtier than the rest because the airflow at the edges underneath draws dirt into that area. I do have area rugs with padding and when you lift them up you will see how much dirt gathers underneath them. So I am sure this is true for the wall to wall carpet as well - which you cannot remove by vacuuming. Also using the beater bar head on a hardwood floor helps them to shine.
Stop telling people to use powder like substances on your carpets! These "powders" KILL YOUR VACUUM! They are finer than dirt and clog your vacuum motor. When your vacuum can't breathe, it seriously oerheats and it ruins it.
If a vacuum can't deal with with fine particles, is it really a good vacuum tho?
I don't have carpet in my home only area rugs but I love vacuuming with my dysons!! I have a canister from several years ago and still love it and a few weeks ago I got the latest cordless animal and I go through the most used areas of my house every night and I love it!! I love waking up to clean floors every day because of my cordless handy dandy dyson!!! I love dysons! I know a lot of folks don't but I have had severs
Yes - the cordless is fantastic, we really like it!
I hate Vacuuming so much I bought a robot vacuum. It is the best!
Carly Bo Barly I saw a hilarious picture where a dog pooped on the carpet while the homeowner was gone and the room a dragged it all around the room. 😳
I thought everyone vacuumed the W way 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for explaining those vacuum pieces, I was always confused as to what they were for. I always end up losing them though 🙁 even the crevice piece 🤦🏽♀️
Yep, I really enjoy vacuuming. The sound of debris going through the hose is very satisfying. I've noticed that males generally seem to enjoy it more than females...50/50
Maybe because it's a heavy clunky machine and men are typically larger and can move it around better. Whatever the reason!
... wrong its cause its like a power tool ... with attachments lol
Hi, I love watching your videos, please make video on water tank cleaning.
To be honest. I love vacuuming! Feeling the clean soften floor. Seeing the beautiful vacuum lines. Smeeling the fresh air after using an fabric softener. BUT I hate the noise!!! Besides the noise, which is an bit of an jump scare turning it on... I still love vacuuming.
I like vacuuming. It beats sweeping. :-D
I love vacuuming with the right vacuum. I use a Miele C3 canister. Super quiet, multiple suction speeds and it filters very well. It has so much suction to, and lifts the carpet off the ground. I also love using my Kirby for carpet, but hate using the attachments on it.
Can u do a how to clean inside of your car please
We are working on that!
Powerwasher
Use the dusting brush on couches too if your vacuum is strong enough
Vacuuming is better than mopping. So I guess I'll just vacuum.
I'd take mopping over vacuuming any day LOL!
I'm not really big on Vacuuming, but your video gave me the motivation to finally vacuum my room after putting it off for a couple of hours. lol
love the vids !
I love vacumming
Mixed feelings. I have to push myself into vacuuming. I get over with it with some great music buzzing in my headphones. Once done I just loooooooove that fresh feeling of a clean room....😊
Yes - 100% you really feel the difference once it's done, so it's a nice reward.
WAITTTT “you said vacuum towards the door”but I have several doors in my living room!
Hate olives, love vacuuming! Cannot wait until I get a real job and can buy a proper vacuum cleaner (oh the life of a student!)
Watching your videos always gets me so inspired to clean my house!
Like Chad! Aw, I am so pleased to hear that!
I love to vacuum. I love the tip of baking soda, that stuff is wonderful, I use it at work too. It's made a huge difference in everything.
Glad to hear!
A lot of people hate vacuuming but love it❤️. These tips were great.😊
You make it much more fun! I do like vacuuming if I have a good machine. And I hate it if I have a bad machine.
Thank you for another informative and entertaining presentation. Loved to vacuum and took great pride in a beautiful home. Due to back issues, vacuuming is a painful chore that my doctor has forbidden me to do. You'd think that'd make me happy, but for someone as OC as me AEGHGHGH!
:( Talk about 50/50! I used to love vacuuming, loved the satisfaction of knowing my house was clean, clean, clean. My vacs have always had super-man powers of allergen and dust filtration. (Yes, "vacs," past tense and plural. There have been many, and I think of them now as past lovers. We made magic together, those vacs & I... um, right.) But I didn't just start in the corner, I started at the top, light fixture, and made my way down to the floor. Before the floor was vacuumed, any surface the vac didn't catch enough dust on was dusted again or polished, shined, whatever it needed. Then my little hand basket of supplies went outside the door of the room, and I vacuumed my way out. Final touch was a spritz of air fragrance. Nope, never worked in housecleaning just OC. I need a walker these days and am unable to use a vacuum. Would love to see you try out some robot vacuums. And I loves me my olives.
Love Vacuuming. For the least amount of energy put in, I see the greatest rewards. I feel like I've been productive and made a great step to a cleaner home.
I love to vacuum every time I vacuum I like to put some of those washer boosters in the vacuum cleaner and it helps refreshing the room that you are vacuuming or I use a dryer sheet in the vacuum
Vacuuming in slow motion is the best tip! I heard it a year ago and i really noticed a difference! We have frisé and it's much fluffier when I go slow. It's amazing how much our Dyson sucks up! I got the animal even though we don't have pets. I swear it's sucking dirt through the foundation!!
Vacuuming is my favorite cleaning task since I am OCD Diagnosed I could do it 2 or three times a day and because my carpet has a thick pile when I vacuum it makes it feel so good when I walk on it!!
don't mind vacuuming would rather that then the rest of the cleaning. I really like this format!.
Thanks Dave Hodges - we'll try it again next week!
i love vacuuming something about watching the stuff disappearing off the floor is like magic to me. Sometimes I dance while steering the vacuum. I think I would like one of those robot vacuums as well.
I love vacuuming. Doing the Mrs.Doubtfire dance makes it extra special :)
One of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite movies!
I love my Dyson(s) I have a canister and a cordless stick vac. Love both, but use my stick the most because of the ease of use. Also, I love that I can take both apart and clean it easily. Lastly, when the charge is done, so am I and it is time for a break! I'm not crazy about any housework but the stick has make it so much easier. I do vac almost every single day because I have 3 dogs! I make it a rule to empty the bin after every use. Because why would you want to keep that crud in the vac - get it out of there! I like my house clean, so housework is a must. I also agree that working smarter and not harder is the way to do it! Love your tips!!!! THANK YOU!
I've never liked to vacuum and even less now that I have one arm. Do enjoy your tips, keep up the good work.
Awesome tips! Just poured the rest of my baking soda on the carpet. lol. I enjoy vacuuming bc I ❤️ the results. Not sure I could say I love it but I find it very satisfactory and compared to cleaning the bathroom, it's near the top of "enjoyable" chores. 😉
I hate vacuuming sooooo much, I bought the iRobot Roomba.
Also on a side subject and one interesting cleaning tip many cleaning people don't talk about (I learned while my carpet was getting installed), is that you can not use all vacuums on all types of carpets. For example, I purchased the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy. It was still in the box when my new carpet installer saw it and commented that it was actually way too powerful for my new looped carpet he was getting ready to install. He said it would unravel and pull out the loops! Wow was I thankful he saw the unopened box before I started using it. I ended up returning it to the store.
Slow, overlapping strokes will ensure you remove deeply imbedded dirt from carpeting. I usually vacuum once daily, and do two or three strokes before moving to the next section. Vacuum cleaners require routine maintenance to keep them performing at their peak efficiency. For example, keeping the roller brush free of hair, string and lint; making sure the dust bag/ dust bin is changed or cleaned often; replacing the belt when it becomes stretched or broken. This will keep your machine running much longer and save on repair bills.
My OCD with cleanliness is right at home with this channel! Lol 😊😊👏👏☑️
I'm confused why Melissa owns a Dyson over a Hoover. The attachments that come with each are 1 for 1, for the same purpose, and of the same quality level. But the Hoover vacuum is at least 3 times more powerful, has filters that are significantly easier to clean, and it was one fifth of the price of the Dyson.
My Dyson stopped performing well after three years (it still ran, of course, but not well even with brand new filters and brand new parts). I've had the Hoover since 2005. It still works better than the Dyson that we bought in 2012.
Still working ?
Hated vacuuming till I got my Dyson. Now I love it. I have a question about paper clutter. What to keep what to toss. Of the stuff I have to keep how long do I have to keep it.
It does make a difference to have a better vacuum, I agree! I usually keep to the taxation rules. I think we have to keep our papers for 7 years. So things pertaining to taxes can be ditched after 7 years, and other things that are no longer relevant can go. Also, you can scan things and save them on an external hard drive and that way you can shred everything!
I love your videos and all your tips are awesome. Inspires me to clean my home in a more efficient manner.
I'd rather vacuum than dust! lol I've always been like that. As u said: we like it or not its gotta get done. Nice video melissa:)
I love vacuuming. I have an Electrolux canister and a Miele canister, a Kirby and an Oreck upright. I love running the machinery and grooming my rugs.
Not very fond of the Oreck but it is light, good for quick pick ups and safe for wool rugs which all of my other machines are as well but rare among most machines.
I'd also add to make sure to empty the vacuum. I always do it before & after, and sometimes during. I find it makes the vacuum work much better & picks up more :)
Yes - great point!
Love
Vacuuming and love the lines it leaves on the carpet I use baking soda once a month love your tips have a great day xoxoox
You have a great day too Chrisann Acanfora !
I love it! Its the final touch to a clean house.
I have a love/hate relationship with vacuuming. I love the finished result but since I have a bad back it hurts to push around the vacuum. BUT how could not love those fresh cut lines!!
So true, but it is a major schlep!
Yes I hate vacuuming. Probably because I am the only one in my house that is able (physically). to do it and other cleaning projects. Can you give me an idea how I can organize my cleaning tasks with a routine so I won't get overwhelmed and tired. ❤️ your videos!
I don't know how but I bought a vacuum cleaner today and did the W pattern without even realizing it. This is the first vacuum of my life since I used brooms till now.
I like vacuuming because I love the instant gratification of a clean looking floor. I hate mopping like you hate vacuuming so I'd love any tips to make it easier/faster/better.
Love these tips, I use them often. I'm 50/50 on vacuuming, somedays I dont mind it others I hate it. I do like more since I got rid of all carpeting though. Thanks for sharing!
I don't mind vacuuming now that I have a Shark Rotator True Pet Professional. My carpets have never looked so good. I have dogs and they bring in lots of everything from the yard and I can clean my oriental rugs in no time. If you have allergies purchase a vacuum that is completely sealed so that you're not breathing dust that is coming out of your vacuum. I now can actually clean under my appliances with a special tool that came with my vacuum. Over the years I have found that the best cleaning method is to clean up a mess when you see and don't let it wait. Be in a cleaning mode even on days that you haven't scheduled for cleaning.
I am a 50/50 kind of girl! Sometimes i love it and sometimes i don't! Thanks for all of the amazing tricks!
You are most welcome - I'll mark you down as undecided ;)
Yes the pull in the cord idea are welcomed, Brova !
I LOVE vacuuming! Of all the tasks, this one brings me to a Zen state! So much so that I actually have one of the best (versatile, all purpose hyper-allergenic, bag-less) vacuum cleaners around! It's a Rainbow vac and even though it's very, very pricey, I have never had a more thorough vacuum! It lasts for decades and any and everyone who has stayed at my house can always tell when I've used it (especially those with allergies!). I remember when my mom had one and it lasted for 20 years - and it probably could've lasted even longer had she not accidentally kicked it down the stairs! LOL! Anyway, great video! I learned a lot! Esp about carpet cuts and the powers of baking soda!
MakeWayForCJ rainbows are the best. We had one growing up. I want another other bad
Do you have any tips for antique wood floors? We bought a home that has 130 year old hardwood floors, so they have quite a bit of space between floorboards. They are AMAZING looking, and have a lot of charm and I want to clean them properly. As far as I know they are not sealed. Any tips?
I love vacuuming, I've used baking soda for years, did you know if you add a little cinnamon to your baking soda carpet spread it smells amazing after you vacuum it up, bonus some bugs hate cinnamon
I luv vacuuming & can't wait to use your tips. I'm a speed vacuumer so now I will slow down☺
I hate vacuuming, I get so tired, cause I do it to fast..... but your tip to do it slower I am going to try it. Tks
I just found your channel and love it so far. I love vacuuming too. I enjoy it because it is the last thing I do, and so I know I am finished with the cleaning. :)
I have a love hate relationship with vacuuming: I love how nice the carpets look when I'm done, but I HATE emptying out the canister!
