aaahhh I gave up on the vacuum cleaner! I bought one of those nice dyson ones several years ago when things were good....I use the shop vac instead! Kids, dogs, hubby, quilting.....shop vac sucks it all up and never hiccups!

I let my housekeeper do it. She uses her vacuum on my hard floors and my Kirby on the carpets. I do occasionally sweep up threads or use a scrap piece of batting to wipe them up. I have a really nice vinyl floor in my sewing room.
