The other day I was vacuuming. I had the kids pick up there toys and clothes. Well I went under the couch and heard this errrrr sound then smelled something burning. I shut of the vacuum and saw I had sucked up Sock! It had burned the belt right off. So I took the hose off{I have a bagless vacuum} and went about retreving the sock. Truns out its not that easy to get the sock out! LOL. I ended up running hot water through the hose. It pushed the sock out. The hose ended up pretty clean as well. Now I have to go get a new belt. A few weeks earlier I was vacuuming and sucked up the cord for the blinds. Almost tore them right off the wall!! Now I ut them up before I vacuum.
So have any of you sucked something up in a vacuum you wernt supposed to?

I've sucked up a few things that I shouldn't have. I've sucked up paper clips before, which isn't good because they can mess up the motor in the vacuum. I've also sucked up a piece of rubber tubing that was under the couch. It jammed the vacuum but thank goodness it didn't wreck anything.
