I have a dumb question
what do you mean by "clean air" machine?
I live with someone who uses baby powder occasionally. I can tell when they use it. I tell them the stuff is horrible for them and the vacuum, but I get ignored. Luckily, I don't think they use it too often. I can tell when I walk across the bathroom floor immediately. I've used my upright vacuum with a HEPA bag and I haven't had any problems with leaking through the bag or causing the bag to clog. Of course, it wasn't like I was vacuuming up a bunch of it. But if someone vacuumed up a bunch of flour or baking soda I'd DIE | ||

I wouldn't worry about it, with the HEPA bags in these nothing will be making it past that. I'd be more upset about the mess in the head of the machine. Easily cleaned up though, but I avoid getting the stuff wet unless you can be sure you've washed it all out, as it'll dry kinda like plaster. My question is; was the baking soda a dry spill, or did they pull the old routine of pour the baking soda over a wet spill and vacuum immediately?

While you're Floor-A-Matic is quite nice...
What people are doing these days is, when, say, the dog dishonors the carpeting (they'll usually break out the paper towels or so on bare floors) is sop up some of it with a paper towel, or pick up the chunks, then they dump a ton of baking soda, stomp it in, and then immediately vacuum it out. They may wait a few minutes but they don't let anything actually dry. I know this is what people are doing because I've had to chisel the results out of even Miele vacuum cleaners! Some have admitted that's what they did too...
BTW, Just wondering how Hoover's line of hard floor machines came into this... Anything on your mind you'd like to share with the class?? | ||
