    While we aren't close I do live very near Ayr, ND. Our Ayr is a very small town, how about yours?

    No thanks. My microfiber duster/sweeper does a great job and is not back breaking. I can reach under my tables and furniture too. No big deal.

    You are using this on carpet (not hardwood/laminate flooring) to pick up threads? Never thought to try it! Good idea.

    What a great idea! I've had knee surgery and am not supposed to be on my knees, like to pick up threads by hand. And if they get in the vacuum , they stop it up. I already have the brush
    , just found a new use for it. Thanks a Million!
