But...they enjoy it, so perhaps I shouldn't feel sorry.<br />I don't think I could vacuum Angel without losing strips of skin from both arms! I'll settle for vacuuming the floors, just not daily.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; add me too. New mattress every six months??<br />I get new pillows every few years when they start to smell funny, that's about it. <br /><br />Joanne; cloth around a knife? too much trouble. I'd use an old toothbrush, like I do on other things that need fiddly cleaning.<br /><br />JahTeh; after some of the houses I've seen on these types of shows, yours would probably pass inspection without any trouble at all. You clean up regularly, some of these people haven't cleaned in 15 years.<br />Talking about cat hair, the couch blanket here is looking a bit umm, grey.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-56568440410383877132014-12-27T09:57:17.833+10:302014-12-27T09:57:17.833+10:30I think my house at the moment would send them all...I think my house at the moment would send them all into a complete breakdown.

None of them did as he did and replaced their mattress every six months and their pillows each month. Add me to his filthy list.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-24234525090593710162014-12-27T01:17:55.578+10:302014-12-27T01:17:55.578+10:30You have to feel sorry for those folks whose lives...You have to feel sorry for those folks whose lives are so ruled by their obsessions. I will admit to vacuuming our old cat though...he shed like crazy and strangely, loved the attention of being vacuumed (and brushed, and massaged...okay so he was a LITTLE spoiled)..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
