To ask what's the thing you most regret sucking up the Hoover?

[beansontoastfortea]

When my son vomited on the carpet, I read online that you could sprinkle baking powder on and then easily suck it up the Hoover... welll that was a HUGE mistake!!! My Hoover was only a week old at the time and the vomit got stuck all up Hetty's tube.... now a few years on i still get the distinct stench of vomit whenever I Hoover my house... I probably should get a new one!

I would have bought a new Hoover by now but I only remember the vomit incident when I Hoover otherwise the Hoover is just not on my mind!

I too believe my wedding ring was in the vacuum and I wimped out while half heartedly searching the bag for it so never found it. Sucking up building dust wrecked my Dyson.

My son’s foot. He was just over a year old and it was an upright dyson. He lost a lot of skin from his big toe and had to have his foot bandaged to the knee.

Scar still there 8 years on.

Oddly, I don’t have a hoover ad. I have an ad for lactose intolerance...

Dry plaster dust.

Needed a new hoover.

lol doll sunglasses which I am yet to admit to my 5 year old daughter

I've realised I wrote "judge" I meant budgie 🐦

A puppy poo accidently 🙈 and in a particularly bright moment... The ashes from around the (lit) log burner..Poor Henry burst into flames in the kitchen!

Omg poor budgie!!!

My toddler DS (unbeknown to me) decided to pour sand through the air holes of my dyson.

Caused it to explode, smoke to come pouring out and all electrics to short. He was not popular!

@Cookmysock1 oh no poor budgie!!! Glad it survived though!!

@Puddingmama2017 bless him, cleaning can really be dangerous!

How did a budgie survive that?!

My mum hoovered up the budgie 😂 He was still alive in the bag and was released and lived for years x

I also sucked up vomit with a brand new Henry, but dismantled the whole thing and washed it all several times. It was fine afterwards, no residual stink at all.

Footsie socks. I had no idea until the hoover stopped working. After doing the usual change bag etc it occurred to me there might be a blockage in the pipe. I had the bright idea to flush the pipe out using the shower, this dislodged footsie socks and about a week’s worth of crap that had sucked up in and around them making a lovely dirty gloopy mess all over the bath

I blew up my Henry after having to vacuum up talcum powder my then toddler decorated the house with. Got it repaired then blew it up again running over wet carpet 😬

A few years ago there was a MASSIVE spider on the wall, I somehow managed to get close enough to hoover him up but then got too scared to turn the hoover off in case he climbed back out again. I left it on until my boyfriend came round and he had to unplug and run with it out the door and take it to the bins.

It was a Henry and I could only afford to buy a cheap shit one after.

Beans It never reappeared - the magic of the internet provided a new one though so all ended happily. The menfolk take their lego very, very seriously
The upside his DP has hoovered the living room himself from that day to this < evil chuckle >

Doh - the upside of this is that ...

My mum was vacuuming around the cage of our cockateil, who came over to have a look and nearly got sucked up the hoover - my mum had to quickly prise her head back out of the tube with her fingers. She said she was alright afterwards and slightly less dusty.

I actually knew that's what you meant

You're not alone 👍

@PocketFullOfCrap you threw your Hoover away because of a spider? 🤭😂

@UsedtobeFeckless haha good one!!!

@Magicpaintbrush I Hoover the bird cage too... guess I best be more careful... the shit my Hetty has hoovered up over the years is incredible
