Our black slate kitchen floor leads out onto a black slate patio. I was giving the kitchen floor a quick vacuum and looked outside and thought the patio could do with a sweep too. I hate sweeping the patio, it's basically brushing debris from one side to the other. I then had a genius (???) idea - vacuum the patio!! So I did. Obviously it was bone dry out there. It worked a treat; why wouldn't it. I'm never going to sweep the patio again! 🧹 🧹

I vacuumed the patterned concrete floor in the house we rented. A floors a floor.

Our old Henry hoover had seen better days, so bought a new one. Kept the old one to hoover the garage..but I use it to hoover the patio! Far easier and quicker! I must look bloody bonkers though!!

My Henry and I hoover the outside front door area & outside mat He’s a STAR! The little girl two door up gives me the ‘WTF LADY??’ Look if she happens to be out 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ But I know her mum & she barely hoovers inside, let alone outside!

Our old vacuum is the garage vacuum. Mostly used for the car, but there occasionally other uses.

I hoover my garden with an old George hoover Astro turf and all. So much easier than moving pots and furniture etc on the patio.

We’re just ahead of our time 😂 give it 20 years and garden hooverin will be a thing
