Spent a good chunk of the day cleaning (floors mostly). And most of that time I spent thinking I needed a new vacuum cleaner (to sweep the tile floors). I was manually (with a wet rag) getting up the stuff the otherwise reliable vacuum cleaner was supposed to pick up (in "bare floor" mode).
After most of the chores were done (and after having started searching for a new vacuum cleaner online), I realized that the hose attachment for the various tools was inserted into the floor-cleaning unit. Thus I was getting no suction (though the brush was rotating).
What a bunch of work that was! After I'd discovered my error in not detaching the hose, I swept another room I hadn't even planned on doing. (So I'm ahead of the game now.)
Up till then, it was really baffling just watching the cat hair blow around and the ubiquitous cat litter atomizing and going nowhere (and having to wipe it up with the rag and keep rinsing the rag out).
(Cleaning is not my forte. But the place is a lot cleaner now.)
Since I haven't been able to find someone to help me with the cleaning (floors mostly), I have to occasionally do it myself. (Didn't use the steamer today since the vacuum wasn't working, so I was down on my hands and feet and ass.) Glad I got some of the most neglected areas done.
