How late would you hoover at night if you were in a terrace house with thin partition walls?

Not hoovering before 10 am is absurd.who is still asleep at 10am?

Me, given half a chance.

9pm in rooms next to neighbours’ bedrooms

I have done other rooms at midnight

But I live in London, so I doubt they hear anythIng over sound of police helicopters and youth on quad bikes etc …

I wont hoover after about 6pm. My neighbours work hard and Im sure they dont want their evening peace shattered by my hoovering. I tend to clean during the day at weekends.

I wouldn't do it later than 7pm. I'd be a little annoyed if my neighbours hoovered later than that too (they don't).

I live in an apartment in the US.

General hoovering between 9am and 9pm id say.
However if a glass or bowl or something gets accidentally broken later than that, once I've swept up the visible pieces im 100% hoovering up the microscopic shards there and then!
Happens very rarely admittedly but HAS happened to me more than once in a relatively short time span 😫

I only ever hoover in the morning in full daylight. If I absolutely had to hoover later I'd say 7pm would be the latest.
