Dyson Update

For the record, I have now used my new vacuum on carpet, tile, a bed, a futon, a couch, the kitchen table, and a labrador.

Explanation: As you may recall, the nice people at the window company bought us a new vacuum because they wrecked our old one and filled our house with glass. Sure, it works on all kinds of floors, but the other furniture is even more impressive. Because I was afraid to wipe the specks of glass off of the table (for fear of scratching the finish) I used the brush attatchment on the Dyson and sucked it clean. The bed, futon, and couch all were easy to clean because the brush attatchment has holes you can use to limit the suction and not pull your entire comforter into the vacuum. The most impressive piece of furniture I cleaned, however, was the hassock we are borrowing from our parents this week.


Emma's limited hearing ability combined with the vacuum's quiet operation convinced her that she was just being pet - something she is happy to encourage. For anyone out there with a shedding deaf labrador, this is the way to go.
