Oh, gosh, your supposed to "clean" the floor? grin, just kidding. My floor is tile so it just sweeps and wipes with a damp mop to get the threads.

I use the attachments on my machine to suck up the worst areas, then go over w/out them.

I have an inexpensive vacuum I use in the sewing room.- and really trying hard to put the threads and small pieces in a bag by the machine.

Me too. I have a dust mop that makes the thread cling. I run a magnetic wand over the floor first to pick up the pins.

I don't have carpet in my sewing room which makes it a lot easier to vacuum up. I also use a swifter vacuum just to get the thread and lint up when in a hurry.
