It used to be that there were just me and my parents in the house plus a dog and 2 cats but as years go by, our hairy family members extended to 2 more dogs and 5 more cats plus we got 2 more non-hairy family membersJ, my 2 nieces who are now living with us. You can imagine the racket and “hairy days” this whole menagerie can cause in our house. We thought of getting a maid but it’s not really financially viable for us. As my mother usually does the cleaning in the mornings, I told my mother to try to stop cleaning for just a day and hmmm.. half-day went and the whole house smelled like a whole pack of skunks had a party inside our house. We thought of giving away our pets, but the thought is just heartbreaking.
On Saturdays, to give my mother some rest from cleaning, I would assign my nieces their chores for the day and usually, I assist them along the way. Christine will do the laundry, dusting of the cabinets and the bathroom cleaning, while Liza will do the dishes, clean up the kitchen, feed the pets and clean up after they pooped. While I was trying to finish some blogging assignment one Saturday, the house seemed unusually quiet. I just thought that my nieces were just busy doing their chores. Went to check them and found Liza covering our kitchen floor with newspapers almost wall to wall. Asked her what she was doing and she explained that one of the dogs decided to poop on the kitchen floor without waiting to go outside and she was trying to cover it. Since she was worried that some cat or dog will poop again on the kitchen floor plus cats’ and dogs’ hairs were invariably present, she decided to just cover the previous dog crime and will just let the others do their thing until the end of the day wherein she’ll scoop all those newspapers for a one-time clean up. Smart! But yucky!
Solution: Vacuum that can go wherever we want to go. Why? Kids and pets go well in messing up a place in a blink of an eye. Pet hairs can go anywhere and with the cordless Dirt Devil vacuum, any place is reachable and cleanable. Besides, Dirt Devil AccuCharge vacuums are the first cordless vacuums that earned Energy Star approval because they use 70% less energy. Energy-saving and at the same time, money-saving for me.
