Just vacuumed up mule trains of dust bunnies!

I hate vacuuming.

Due to a variety of factors, I have put it off. For weeks.

Dust bunnies have formed around the hard floored rooms. 😳

Today, I bit the bullet and vacuumed thoroughly. Pulling the furniture out and everything.

Around the worst of the dust bunnies under my bed, I got to the edge and the whole lot came along in a 'mule train procession' strung by spider webs 😱

I'm not arachnophobic, but I had no idea that they had made themselves so at home!

I need to vacuum at least once a week, don't I? 😳

That's a wonderful image though!

Even though there was no one else to witness it, it was mortifying.

You don't have to vacuum once a week. It depends on how many people live there, if you have pets, and your idea of dirty.
Personally I vacuum every day but I have 2 cats. I couldn't live with dust bunnies though. My cats leave enough hair in a 24hr period to need vacuuming daily.

I have to vacuum 2-3x a day but we have a golden retriever who likes to shed everywhere and 2 messy kids. I dread to think what it would be like after a week!

Just me, no pets.

Just don't want the Daddy Long Legs spiders getting too brazen.....

Can I come round to do it? I'm a cleaner and I live for dust bunnies.

What you want is a lovely cheerful Roomba (or equivalent robot vacuum) who will positively relish getting under your bed to chase off the dust bunnies.

Advice from a fellow hoovering hater!

😁

I don't earn enough to hire a cleaner.

I just need to vacuum more often. 😳

The local arachnid population have learned that the floor is not safe.

Yesterday, I walked into the kitchen and blundered into a spider web.

They're just taking the mick now....
