Momma Vacuum Hands

We have three kitty-cat hairballs that shed all the time. We let them play outside in the desert. They bring in stickers and cactus needles and lots of dirt and dust. If we leave the sliding glass doors open by accident they have been known to bring in rock squirrels, pack rats, and rattle snakes. (They have never gotten a rattler clear into the house, just up to the patio).  Once the two female cats had a small milk snake they were both carrying; one on each end. The only reason they didn't succeed in getting the snake into the house before I caught them; they tried to go through the door at the same time but the snake kept getting in the way.

Now that we have a family member that is so close to the floor, the cat hair and dust has started to drive me flipping crazy. So, I purchased this puppy the other day. (Braved the crazies and the pervs at Walmart because they had the best price). I cleaned our hard flooring yesterday. We have about 2,000 sq. feet of that new fangled stained concrete. It looked so beautiful when we first  moved in to our new home. Then reality set in. I have been tortured with it ever since.  Guess what? You have to wax this flooring and buff it. What the? I am cleaning challenged at the best of times and I am overwhelmed with the amount of hair and dust the cats produce. I told my husband the other day that if reincarnation exists I am coming back as Momma Vacuum Hands. So this big arsed machine sucked up all the dust and scrubbed the floors bright shiny clean. I am so happy. The other great thing about it is: it cleans carpets too. So I am shampooing the carpets today. Who knows, I may suck up a few cats along the way.

    Way to go, I am sick of sitting on chairs and coming up with black fuzzies on my behind that I don't know about for awhile. I will be glad hen kitsy can stay outside longer this spring and summer. I wish my house would clean itself.

    I think We all need self-cleaning houses.

    Nessa, you are a better woman than I am getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing...sheesh.
    : ) There are smaller Hoovers that just scrub hard flooring. I had one that worked well for five years til I wore it out. I paid under $100 for it. It comes with really nice smelling detergent too. Smells like summer rain.
