Tip of the Day

Vacuuming is one of the most basic household duties and yet most people never think to do this one very simple thing.

Clean Your Vacuum!

Admittedly this probably only applies to those of us with canister vacs, but it's so important. If you want to improve your vacuum's ability to get all the nasty stuff out of your carpet, take out the canisters and clean them thoroughly. Cut all the hair and carpet fibers out of the roller bar. If you have a vacuum with a removable filter like I do, clean the filter once per month. It will increase the lifespan of your vacuum and you'll be surprised at much extra dirt is getting sucked up once it's clean.
