My vacuum cleaner and I have had a bit of a falling out. He’s been really great for the most part but lately he’s becoming suffocating. Literally. It’s all well and good to be BAGLESS and everything but when it means that the minute I open the latch to take out the dirt, the dust particles escape UP MY ASTHMATIC CAN’T TAKE MUCH MEDICATION BECAUSE I’M PREGNANT BRONCHIOLES then well, it’s time to stop singing his praises.
Not only that, but you can’t wash or brush or wipe the filters, just lightly “tap” them on the floor. This tapping means the tiny tiny dust particles, dust mites and dead skin cells get tapped onto the floor and then I have to what? use a dustpan and brush to pick them up so that I can put them in the bin. Ugh..can’t do anything right.
He’s probably noticed I’ve been finding him irritating – his little roller’s stopped spinning and now he’s gone to Mr Sparky for some emergency counselling. I’m not expecting him to come back a brand new vacuum cleaner or anything but I hope Mr Sparky knocks some sense into him and we can at least get along…you know…. for the children’s sake.
