.....hoovering with out putting my glasses on?

I feel that I can 'get around' much quicker if I leave them off, but wonder if I've done a good enough job....

especially if I get guests.... ?



I've just finished hoovering, with my glasses on...took ages as it was eversobitty.....

Hoover without glasses, and invite friends after dark. Turn lamps off and light candles.

Brilliant! I like your style

*thinks...wear wellies when visitin Milla, and take a *

I have that problem too. I am probably too much of the German housewife by now. After hoovering without glasses,, I get down on my knees, have a closer look and groan and start all over again with a finer nozzle. Help me!

Walk in bare feet. When your feet feel annoyed, do a bit of sweeping. When your feet stop feeling annoyed, stop sweeping.

Works for me.

TRiG.

Two hours in, and no-one has mentioned Hoovering in the Night yet?!
Oh, wait! I just have!

And no, I don't have an actual opinion one way or the other.
Sorry.
I'll go now, shall I?

But exactly, the Nighthoover is the true way! Day-dyson will reveal the niggly whatnots, and is not recommended. < motato >

The definitive answer would have to come from either 2Legs or Mother Nature.

It is well known that Nature abhors a vacuum.

Hoovering goes much quicker without my glasses, because I can't see the power switch

Hoover with glasses.
You shouldn't be hoovering so quik your glasses may fall off.
\Firm, slow and steady strokes of your nozzle.
caress the nozzel over the floor; never press the nozzle too hard; this creates too great a downward force between your nozzle and the floor; this reduces the suction of your nozzle, as the air is unable to be drawn in, as you create a vacuum between the nozzle and the floor; this stops particles being removes off of the floor, and sucked into your nozzle.
Of course, one should do this hoovering at night, but with lights on if that is required.

My hoover really sucks... Its useless...
I always do housework barefooted, as its the easiest way to tell when sweeping or hoovering if there's particles on the floor.... oh, and you should dance whilst hoovering, it helps... the mud-shark is a good dance to start with, or variations thereof... I've not hoovered in a month

>> with lights on if that is required <<

'required'?
I'm at a loss to imagine such conditions.
Any light is a pollution, an abomination
to the true nighthoovering experience.

You might notice for example that the dog
is staring at you, an unpleasant and much
discomforting experience even with the most
beloved pets. For they are but dumb beasts
and cannot know or understand the hallowed
nature of the nighthoovering.

You mean your dog doesn't protect you by charging the vacuum and managing to remove a piece of trim that you didn't realize was removable? (Snapped back on, though it wouldn't've hurt anything if it hadn't--I've had the vacuum almost 20 years now...)

I really should get around to getting the video of our protecting us all from the nasty loud monster online sometime--you can tell that those are definitely fear/anger sounds she's making, not playful ones.
