Apologies for dullest question ever. Have recently moved into a house and find myself with a stair carpet for the first time ever (have either lived in flats or house with wooden staircase so this is all new to me).
How the jeff is one meant to vacuum a stair carpet? Using the brush attachment thingy on the hoover barely works as it just about lifts surface crumbs but nothing else (I must point out that we have a cat so the hoover has to be able to deal with cat hair, which it seems to do on every other carpet in the house).
Tried using the hoover just as a hoover but that was silly as I had to wield it clumsily over each stair and it still didn't work. Also tried using a dustpan and stiff-bristled brush but it took literally an hour, I felt like a Victorian housemaid and I still wasn't convinced the carpet was very clean.
Or is my hoover just rubbish and not picking up well enough to deal with stair carpets? This is making me really cross and turning into a bit of a housework ordeal...
