Today was house cleaning day. I skipped last weekend since I knew Bonnie was coming up for a visit tomorrow. However, it looked like I had not cleaned in weeks. In our Winston house we had a large filter on the furnace that at least captured the worst of the dust and dog hair flying around from the air vents to the returns. This house has returns in various parts of the house with the filters located at the returns. Even using the best heavy duty filters every surface in the house gets covered in dust in a weeks time. The floors are dark hardwood which show dirt, dog hair, and grime a lot worse than the light wood we had in Winston.
The good news is the upstairs of this house has only four major rooms and a foyer all of which are large and fairly open. The new furniture in the den is easy to move around making it not as difficult to do more of a semi-deep clean every couple of weeks.
The downstairs is all carpet. Until I bring the other vacuum up from Winston I will have to drag the vacuum downstairs periodically. Since we hardly use the rooms down stairs except Bob in his office I can clean it more sparingly for now.
