I wonder what happened to all the cat hair and dirt when we had carpet. I think it just stayed there. We ran the vacuum constantly and even got the carpet cleaned but I don't think we touched the amount of dirt we now remove from the hard floors.
Normally - we use a broom and then a dust mop after that and then we wait a couple hours until the next cat hair tumbleweed comes driftin' along. Today I used the vacuum on the wood floor - normally I use the broom but wanted to cover more ground quickly and I just finished with the dust mop. I did it right, moving furniture and using vacuum attachments appropriately. I even vacuumed the cellular shades. What a rip-off those are! The previous owner of this house got custom cellular shades and they are virtually uncleanable. I took about 40 minutes and vacuumed relentlessly and some hair was removed. The idiot had already stained the custom white shades with nicotine (being a smoker). Love that yellow tinge.
Next I will lightly mop the wood with water. It is all for naught but oh well... My parents are visiting in a couple weeks and I want the house to be cleaner than usual. It isn't usually dirty but the dust bunnies (made from mostly cat hair) require constant attention.
In my welfare fantasy (where I don't work but live off the system), my house would sparkle. I would work out all the time and enjoy a simpler life (no ironing necessary.) It's the same as my lotto fantasy only I have an expensive sound system and exercise equipment in that one!
All that said, I don't miss having carpet. At least now, I can more easily see the enemy and its name is "Bunny".
