It’s so dusty from our woodstove and all the pollen out here in the country! I have a Hoover The Boss vacuum and I hate it – loud, noisy, awkward to use – so I don’t vacuum unless I have to! Some day I will retire to warm climate and only have tile and rugs I can throw in the wash! Thanks for your comment!

I totally agree with you how nasty carpets can be. We built our house almost 5 years ago and have wall-to-wall carpeting in our living room and bedrooms. We also do not wear our shoes in the house or allow eating (other than the occasional bowl of popcorn with a movie) in the living room. About 4 or 5 months after we moved in I agreed to have a kirby salesperson come do a demonstration. I let them know that I was not interested in having my floors vacuumed since the carpets were brand new and my vacuum cleaner was new as well, which I vacuumed with regularly (including right before they came), but I would allow them to do a demonstration on our furniture, since they were not new.

Well, the kirby girl came and demonstrated a brand new kirby vacuum cleaner, first on our rug, even though I didn’t really want her to, and then on my furniture. To my disgust, my carpet was nasty dirty. I couldn’t believe the amount of dirt/dust/nasiness she was able to get out of my brand new rug after I had just vacuumed with my brand new vacuum.

If a brand new carpet is that gross, I can’t believe how nasty the old ones are. If I had known, we probably would have gone with more hard wood than carpeting.

Can’t wait to see pics of your new bedroom!
