    June 3, 2020 /

    Replace your vacuum when it’s worn out. That seems simple, right? However, the big question is when is a vacuum worn out?

    Vacuuming Stairs and Other Hard to Reach Places with Hoover Impulse

    November 14, 2018 /

    Vacuuming stairs is nothing if not a challenge. It’s the hardest spot in your home to vacuum. We have a couple of steep and lengthy staircases and they get a lot of traffic so they need a good cleaning at least weekly. It’s so hard to get stairs clean. Sure many vacuums have hose attachments, but they’re rarely long enough to get all the way up the stairs. Which means at some point, I often do my Amazing Stair Balance Act wherein I simultaneously hold the vacuum in place with my feet while using both hands to vacuum the stairs. Of course, all of this has to happen without me tumbling…

    Hoover Air Steerable Pet Keeps the Hair at Bay

    August 15, 2018 /

    I am a Hoover ambassador and as such I have been compensated. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful.  Hoover Air Steerable Pet Upright Vacuum is an excellent option if you have a pet or if you just have a lot of hair in your home in general. Dirt, dust and hair are no match for this new Hoover vacuum. The Hoover air steerable upright is your answer to whole-home cleaning. Your pets are members of the family and you couldn’t imagine life without them. But you definitely could do without the tumbleweeds of pet hair blowing down the hall and the patches of fur on the sofa,…

    Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1 Makes Vacuuming Easier

    August 14, 2017 /

    Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1 makes vacuuming easier and lighter too. I’m not in to vacuuming. Not even a little bit. Truthfully, I’m not into a lot of domestic chores. I’d rather dust than do the vacuuming, and we all know how much more difficult that is. I think it’s because of all the cord hassle and having to lug the thing around. It gets annoying. In fact the weight of some heavy vacuums is completely a hassle. These days, vacuuming is less horrible for me now that I’m using the Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1.

    The Oreck Venture is Literally a Cleaning Machine

    May 9, 2016 /

    I recently got my hands on an Oreck Venture Bagged Canister Vacuum, and I’m enjoying giving it a whirl. I’ve already vacuumed my office a few times, and the house has had a good once over, as well. My Oreck Venture is getting a workout, and my home is getting cleaner which is increasingly important as spring brings allergens and dust in the door. Oreck Venture – Powerful and Practical When I got this vacuum, I was eager to start using it, but I wasn’t eager to put it together. I’m not a “some assembly required” kind of girl. BUT I put my vacuum together in all of 1 minute, so that tells…
