Moms out there....do you vacuum everyday?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting 5 years ago

I am starting this discussion because am tired of welding our Dirt Devil heavy vacuum and I do it every single day...vacuum the entire house because I can't stand vacuuming one room and not doing the rest. I am not a neat freak but my toddler leaves a fruity pebbles trail on the carpet most of the times, even if I told her to just eat at the table. Next thing I know, I see some on the living room. Aside from that, we got a little dog too and my daughter just want to roll around the carpet even if I told her to sit in the couch if she is watching her program.

So, do you vacuum everyday? I wish I had Oreck though coz I wouldn't mind doing it everyday, but welding a heavy thing around is just too much.

I wish I could do that but am afraid there will be ants going around. Hopefully when she will be bigger, I would do less. Thanks.

Oh gosh, I do the same thing too, before my husband comes home from work because I know he will be so tired and coming home in a messy house will make it worse. He comes home at around 5:30...so 3 pm down...it is picking up time. Thanks.

We have 2 dogs to take care of any cereal that gets dropped! I don't vacuum much, because my vacuum doesn't really do anything. It's old and the brush doesn't work right, so the floor is just as hairy, so I don't bother. I really need a good vacuum though. I hate seeing all the hair on DS (15 months)! When I do get a good vacuum, I'll do the major areas every day, and the less messy stuff maybe once a week or so. Things like the baseboards and ceilings (we have texture and dust sticks) maybe once a month or so. I hate having the hair all over!


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

Our dog is quite picky and just sniff the cereal on the carpet...lol. It would have been easier if he just eat it out. I forgot to mention that one of the reason I vacuum too is my husband got sensitive nose and next thing you know, he will be sneezing. Even if it is from the allergens outside, I just make sure that there is not that much dirt/dog hair/dust in the house. Thanks...

I'm afraid I have to, I have 2 very messy boys, a dog cat and a builder who comes in covered in dirt which he likes to spread around the home. I hoover and mop most days but it always looks awful the next morning, sometimes I wonder why I boehter at all, ,lol.
Dizy Dyson my vacuum is getting very fat an happy as she has so much food.


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

When am just so tired, that is what am thinking off...why bother? I can do it tomorrow...but then I found myself going into the hall closet and just cranking the vacuum away. The one I got has a canister on it instead of a bag, so I just have to pour it but I have to change the filter now and then. Thanks...


myLot reputation of 98/100. rainbow (3926)   ranked 373 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

It can be disheartenuing, my boys bedroom is always so messy too, I spend ages putting things away, although I have no idea why, it's quite depressing at the moment if I'm honest, I feel that it doesn't look any differnet choose how much effort I make, sorry to whinge.

I vaccuum my living room everyday becasue the kids are always tracking things in from outside or their will be crumbs on the floor from the cookies or crackes that they are eating.


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

My daughter loves those fruity pebbles so my carpet is all colorful. Even if I put it in a bowl and let her eat on the table...some wonders still around. Thanks..

Well I only do it once a week but it because we use laminate flooring not carpet but I do have to sweep and mop the floor every day sometimes more often depend on the mess my toddler make on the day. I really hope I don't have to do it that often once he start going to school...xx


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

That is what am hoping too..when she gets bigger and she will not make so much mess anymore...thanks

I have hardwood floors. I sweep alot and use the swifter thing. Used to have carpets and I had to vaccum alot .


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

I guess that is one of the advantage of hardwood floors, not vacuum. I would exchange my vacuum for a broom anytime..lol. Thanks

I have to vacuum just about every day too! Luckily I have a pretty light vacuum so it isn't too bad. The most frustrating part is that my 20month old son does make a bit of a mess but it's his father that does most of it! I'll spend a good amount of time cleaning and then he'll get home from work and walk through the whole house with his muddy sandy boots on!!! And then I have to vacuum all over again! We don't have any pets anymore so that's not an issue either. If only I could train him to take his shoes off before walking in lol


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

Let him vacuum after himself, then he definitely would take off his shoes...lol. During the weekend, I will asked my husband to vacuum for me...and gosh, he sounds like a general telling our daughter and our dog to not make any mess. That is just vacuuming like once in a month mind you. I wonder how he would act if he will vacuum every day...lol. Thanks...

I only vacuum once every few weeks. Our place doesnt get dirty quick because we dont have any pets, we only have one 16 month old DD, and we dont wear shoes in the house.


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

That is really one of the advantage of not having a pet, not that much to clean coz you are not worried about having their hairs everywhere especially if you have a baby. Thanks

I don't even get a chance to do it everyday. I do it once a week. The little lady keeps me too busy to get a chance to clean.


myLot reputation of 100/100. ladymoonstone143 (1296)   ranked 11 out of 9,012 in parenting  5 years ago

If you don't have a pet that is ok. My toddler learns to pick up her things when Mommy takes out the vacuum coz I told her, if all her things is not pick up, I vacuum everything...lol. I can't believe sometimes how a toddler keeps you on your tippy toes all the time. Thanks....
