What do you use to vacuum your sewing room?

I use a cordless Shark in my sewing room. Then about once a month I take my old scissors and cut the threads off the brushes. Takes me a few minutes but the shark is so handy. I don't have to keep rolling the darn cord up.

I use a magnetic tool to pick up pins, but I love all the ideas to use instead of the vacuum. My DH is the one that sees all the thread on the beater bar of the vacuum and fusses about it. We just moved to a house with a central vac. We've been there a month, and I still don't know how to use it - but my DH does!!

My windtunnel has a clog that DH has been trying to get out for 4 days (too much dust from remodeling the house). :?

I have been wondering what to use. I've burned out three vaccume cleaners over the years from the threads and stuff. A shop vac. Okay ladies, I'm sold. Now to buy one!!! Thanks, you have saved my sanity and my rug.

I have a painted floor, so I just wrap a scrap of extra batting around my Swiffer, and use that....
But for vacuuming, I just use my regular sweeper. If all the long threads are picked up first, I don't have any trouble with them wrapper around the beater bar...
