I vacuum my bedroom every other week, but I think I may not be doing it enough. I have a cat and she is always shedding all over my floor other than that my floor looks pretty clean. However my room is in the basement and so I get a lot of spiders and other bugs. I was wondering if vacuuming more often would help keep them away. anyway how often do you vacuum your bedroom or house?

Every other day, but I sweep the floors every day. I live in the country and we have creepy crawlers everywhere if I don't keep on top of them. It's not so bad in the winter when they seem to hibernate during the cold weather, but spring, summer and fall are a bummer. Besides, I have a hubs who refuses to remove his shoes and tramps bits and pieces all through the house at least a dozen times a day! LOL I don't have a cat, but for sure I would be vacuuming every day if I did. Animal hair is a magnet for dust and other things.

I have a dog with long hair. My hubs throws a fit if she's in the house because of the hair left behind. I don't see HIM getting out the vacuum though! LOL So I'm with you in spirit - I love my dog and I'll live with the hair balls!

Our home has no carpets so the occasion for using the vacuum is very rare. We use the old method of cleaning the floors using a straw broom and some rags. I know is seems to be lot of work, but if the whole family is involved and some good tunes are playing then I assure you its a fun activity. :) We even make it a game sometimes. LOL I know I have a strange family routine but nonetheless it works for me.

I'm always glad to share my opinion. :) Well maybe one of these days we'll get a carpet, but I bet its a long time before we get to that point in time. :)

Well if I say that I have four children, husband, two cats and other children coming in and out, its more than once every other week!! LOL
More like twice a day. I have taught the children to use the hoover as well so its not always down to me to do the vacuuming. Husband is good with the hoover as well.

Well that's good that you get some help. sounds like a lot of work. i live with my mom, so basically I only have to worry about my bedroom. I imagine kids and pets make it very difficult to keep the house clean, especially floors. Well thanks for responding. Have a fantastic day!

Hi there,
I'm still hoovering along with my family, I'm so sad that I have two hoovers, one ofr upstairs and one for downstairs!!
I do feel good when I hoover for other people as well in my cleaning jobs. The only bad thing is sometimes other peoples hoovers aren't that good
