to hoover everyday?

[forpitysake]

and sometimes twice

some of my friends have made me feel bit odd for this. what do you do?

We have tiny flat and I hoover every day.

We are in the house a lot though- sahm and 4 dc.

I am always bloody hoovering.

At least twice a day.

Children. Make. A. Mess.

Grrrrr

YANBU - I run the electric thing round every day (I would recommend this if you have wooden floors instead of having to use the hoover everyday). Cats + small child + white wooden floors = lots of visible mess.

But only in the kitchen and dining room. The rest gets done twice a week if I have time.

What's the electric thing?

I vacuum the living room and hall every day. The whole house is cleaned every 4 days.

Have got parquet flooring which shows up dust and dirt, so has to be swept or hoovered every day. And bloody mopped a lot. Really shows the dirt.

Mind you it is better than carpets, what with 2 black cats and a builder DP who trails sand everywhere.

AIBU for getting all excited at the title of this thread?

I hoover therefore I am.

Twice a day if I can manage it. Including under sofas etc

I am looking for a cheap 'upstairs' hoover. I live in a small three bedroom house

In my defence

DS2 has very severe eczema
DD was very sick and had no immune system

Before all this didnt even own a hoover.

I also have a steam mop that I love because it sterilizes as it cleans

My house is not all tidy. Its a shabby chic (hahaha) missmash with tons of toys and stuff.

But there is NO DUST.

I have a Henry Hoover too which is why I have to hoover every day.

I think I got a bad one

purplebuns Don't feel quite so much a freak now!

Jinny, my Henry has been injured in the course of duty. He has lost a castor but still dutifully hobbles around hoovering every day without fail.

If only I could find a man who is so willing and reliable.

Oh I am so envious. I though my Henry would be the solution to my problems but he's just added to them as now I have to find somewhere to keep him.

He doesn't suck and has a wobbly hose. He is useless

He needs to be put into a retirement home by the sounds of it.

I have a Henrietta cos its pink

I will probably be hounded off MNs now

I hoover downstairs about 3 times a week at the most and upstairs once a week. Although I do often more often if the it looks like I ned to.

He's only 6 months old. I bought him because I was sick of my dyson being used inappropriately. Dyson's don't like DIY

Henry quite likes DIY but hates cleaning anything below the surface of a carpet.

The perfect appliance is out there somewhere

you sound like my sister - she's OCD though.

When I stayed there recently I had to hoover whenever DD & I left the house, so there wouldn't be a speck to stress sister out when she got home from work. She also has a rug where all the fringing has to be in straight lines. She also has stress related alopecia though it's been better the last year or so.

I was there once when the vaccum cleaner broke - I thought she was going to have a heart attack.

I do love my sisters house though - wonderful to walk around in bare feet

YABU & making me feel like a slut

Hoovering a house twice a day is excessive in my opinion, unless you have lots of dogs and cats indoors.

What do you want, some sort of medal? Hoover or not, who cares really? It's your filth.

I love to hoover [hblush]

I have an upstairs upright vac and a downstairs cylinder Miele. I hoover upstairs 2-3 times a week, and do downstairs every day. No pets but I have 3 long haired daughters that shed more than any animal!

I can't sit and relax in the evening until everything is tidied away and I've hoovered and cleaned the sticky fingermarks off the side/TV/tables. We have a sort of open plan lounge-dining room-kitchen so everything gets walked through.

I tut when the girls make crumbs or drop food but I'm secretly pleased that I have something substantial to hoover up [hgrin]

Downstairs every day but I have wooden floors and they REALLY show up the gruff. Stairs and upstairs - not as often My mum used to hoover the whole house every day - even rooms that hadn't been used and the house was bloody huge

I hoover everyday, upstairs, downstairs, the stairs, I even hoover after the cleaner has been in case she missed a bit. I'm a bit hoovering ocd.

We usually hoover twice a do aswell.

sometimes its 3 times, when i follow ds2 around if he is eating something with crumbs

a do i obviously meant a day

Damn this thread! Made me have a look for a cheap upstairs hoover and I ended up buying a toy Hetty and matching cleaning trolley for me DS3 for Christmas.

Which then obviously made me have a look on the Cath Kidson website and I just bought a few bits (bits, Icant afford actual big stuff) too.

For Christmas you understand.

I seem to hover endlessly, one rabbit, three little mess monsters and the big destroyer of tidyness (yes that would be DP), and I dont seem to have a blooming choice in the matter!

Once a day in the main rooms downstairs...looks mucky otherwise and only takes a couple of mins! Have two young DC, youngest puts everything in his mouth so am even more fastidious than normal.
