Hi Janet,

What kind of vacum cleaner are u using?
I dislike pulling the wire around to vacum the whole house, that irritates me.Also, find the air around the vacum cleaner very hot and that makes me perspire most of the time and foul mood.thank you.

Just curious, what type of mop that mummies here u used?am hoping to find something that can pick up hair at the same time.

Thank you.

Leanne

Hair usually sticks to mop. I usually vacuum up the dust/hair before mopping...usually the mopping is to remove the stickiness.

Yes, the wire can be very irritating but it gives me a good sweat out. Bought a Kaarcher vacuum cleaner for a quick pickup but battery died out fast. :x Use the Kaarcher one bcos dirt/hair goes directly into the water, saving me all the sneezing.

Hi Janet,


I just wish that I am more positive and willing to go thr the 'work out\".Am totally exhausted after it.I have the rainbow, water filler kind of vacum cleaner too.But really too lazy to move around with it.Maybe karcher that one will do but as u said, battery died out quite fast.

Hi Leanne,

I got the Karcher thinking it will pick up the eraser dust, didn’t expect battery life to be so short. But vacuum using the the big one. Hubby got the irobot, and I’ve not used the vacuum cleaner since the beginning of Oct. Irobot cannot clean corners.

Recently i bought a Dyson city, really ex but worth all the price. The sunction is really good and i ended using it not only to vacuum areas that irobot can’t reach but for vacuuming shelves, fans, windows, beds and sofas. Save me lots of time from dusting and wiping. Its also really small and light, so i actually carry the vacuum cleaner around the house.

I swear by Rainbow. A little noisy but since it’s water based, my kids have less respiratory issues.

IM gg maidless in 12 days time.


Actually IM feeling kind of excited cos nv really wanted a maid. It was my mom's request but after 2.5 yrs of maid, guess she realised it was a waste of $$$ too.

Looking forward to days of privacy, secured belongings, hygienic environment (i know it sounds contradicting), safety for my kids & mom, no \"broken things day\", no \"mom nag maid day\", no \"use wrong cloth/pail/equipment day\" etc.... (the list goes on and on) :lol:

Hi cantbearit,

You will enjoy the days of being maidless…privacy and freedom to do anything. It’s exciting…bcos first thing you will get rid of all their stuff…their cutlery, mattress, pillow and blanket.
I know what you mean by hygienic…my flat feels cleaner WITHOUT a maid…could it be a psychological thing ?

i like this term - maidless :lol:

when i come back home after a long day's work & find the floor dusty, i wld be annoyed. maid claimed to have swept & mopped! now that i'm maidless, when its dusty, i dont have to be annoyed with anyone. just do it myself

Hi SullyM,

No need to be upset with anyone…just be happy. Ironically, I’m so much happier without a maid to upset me. I’m a SAHM…if I’m in the mood, I do more housework that day, if not then I just close 2 eyes and don’t do anything…not answerable to anyone and hubby cannot complain either.
