That was definitely NOT my intention. What I think as humorous or comedic should sometimes be kept to myself. This is a public forum, and I didn't treat it that way. I really enjoy learning and reading things from all people on here, and after reviewing my comments, I feel that I was just plain out of line. My apologies. |

I teach this stuff. (Somebody has to). You teach vacuuming? My grandmother had OCD and vacuumed her carpets at least twice a day. From all the vacuuming they stretched and had to be replaced every year or so. Yup. Believe it or not. I travel the country training floor care professionals for the largest floor covering company in the world. (Maintenance is a very small part). Mostly marketing, merchandising and sales training. But NO you can not over vacuum today's carpets (unless you have a woven wool and use a beater bar). Most people don't vacuum anywhere near enough (the general rule is 'once per week per person and pet in the home in high traffic areas). Most likely what your Grandma was dealing with was poor installation probably due to lack of power stretching (who installs your floors makes a big difference in how it performs). Or a VERY 'old' carpet that did not have a secondary backing.

Hygene and clothing don't define sexual preference, and neither does appreciating members of the same sex. Well said Jim. My inital reaction was to take the more directly ticked off approach.

However, if our SOs decide they want to help us out . . . that of course is entirely their own prerogative. |

And you claim to be a professional? I have only one word for you: Kirby.
Owning a vacuum doesn't contain an axial flow compressor is like trying to ride a century in jeans- you might make it a little ways down the road, but you're really just setting yourself up for failure. |
