OMG! I hoovered my mattress...

yes, I've hoovered it before with a traditional upright bagged vac, but this is the first time I've done it with a recently last year purchased Shark with the clear dust container.
I'm appalled.
I would post a picture of the pile of gunk but fear I might get banned for offensive content

My mattress says not to hoover it, so I am safe!

BruceAndNosh · 21/03/2022 11:31

I'm resisting the urge to strip the other beds and hoover them too

If anyone needs a 'do not vacuum' label for mattresses, carpets, curtains, furniture or anything else then I can supply these for free.

That was worth doing!
I got a good handful of dust/hair/general shite out from under the kitchen radiator yesterday. Could have made a small pet out of it.
Some of us are just filthy slatterns.
My Late Dad always used to say 'only dirty people need to wash' Grin

I’ve just washed and changed my bedding but I’m going to try hard to remember to hoover the mattress on Sunday! What a Mother’s Day treat to myself this shall be Grin

Can also provide a sick note/wellness note that says the patient shouldn't vacuum, cook or indeed do much other than sit, consume chocolate or wine and watch TV to exercise their elbow and improve neck positioning.

Not as bad as I was expecting
Same here. I find that quite disappointing, I was expecting a lot more dust and for it to look a lot more grubby.

One assumes that the OP is the sort of person who welcomes people into her immaculate house with an apologetic 'sorry for the mess' comment.

I'm a bit disappointed tbh...
BruceAndNosh · 21/03/2022 11:43

Ha ha, I'm not someone who looks round for stuff to clean!

I'm looking on this thread as a Public Health Announcement.
I would prefer not to be sleeping on that pile of crap

And that's not years and years worth of gunk. The mattress is only 2 years old and this isn't the first time it's ever been hoovered

OMG!
I have never hoovered a mattress in my life, no idea it was a thing?! next time I change the sheets I might whip the hoover out.

That dust'll be made out of miniature poo crumbs.
