DH is hoovering Dad's teddies

[CoalCraft]

He's doing a proper clean apparently

YANBU = He's gone insane
YANBU = All teddies need hoovering occasionally and he's behaving completely normally

This is the time to strike when the irons hot with a ‘while you’re at it, it would be wonderful for the {insert} oven to be cleaned/toilet de-scaled/mould on windows to be deep cleaned.

And follow up with. ‘I’m planning on making your favourite dish tonight’ to for moral support whilst he sorts everything 😃

Do you mean vacuuming? Teddies shouldn't need vacuuming unless they are very dusty. A wipe over with a damp cloth should be enough.

He's a mere amateur.

I used to vacuum the dog.

Not a toy dog, a full sized Beagle who really enjoyed the sensation on his back - and it got out loads of the long, white hairs he would shed everywhere without this attention every Saturday morning. As long as I made sure to turn the suction down when it got close to his ears, he was happy as Larry.

Unfortunately DH is the primary cook and definitely prefers his own cooking to mine!!

I'm not completely lazy, I do all the other house cleaning, but the hoovering hurts my ears and back so DH usually does it.

@PinaColada123456 I sellotaped the tupperware lid closed the other day, then sharpie'd all over some post-its on the fridge. Unfortunately the post-it glue was no good so I had to blue tac them instead

My mum used to put my teddies in a carrier bag and bung them in the freezer. To kill dust mites. So hoovering sounds totally normal to me!

I have machine-washed and tumble dried teddies and soft toys , then groomed them with a hairbrush.

(many times, after they got sicked on, chewed/licked by dog/visiting children, fell in lav/bath, left out in garden. It's a hard life being a teddy).

Tell him he now needs to bag them up individually and put them in the freezer overnight to do a thorough job!

Just seen sheiselectrics post so it must be right. You now need a aibu to ask him to put them in the freezer.

I would rather hoover them and wipe them down than put them in the washing machine. They take ages to dry properly and sometimes the stuffing goes lumpy. I have never put them in the washing machine.

Complaining about your dh hoovering
Ai ai ai. Many on here would kill for a man actually lifting a finger
Let the man hoover your dd's teddy's.

I wish my cat would let me do that!
