thanks to the new laminate flooring my DH put in a month ago. i find myself sweeping everyday and using the swifter at least every other day!!! ahh help im going crazy!!!!
We used to have carpet and we have 2 dogs who are inside when we are home and dog hair is crazy so it makes me obsess about sweeping. Everytime i sweep i think eww all this was probably stuck in my carpet
How often do you ladies sweep?

Every day with the swiffer. There are just two of us and no pets, we have an air filter machine and we still get dust!

Haha nice! I sweep about 1-2 times/week, and I use my swiffer mop weekly.

You’re so diligent! This was how I was when I started flossing regularly 🙂
I sweep once a week and use the Swiffer then, too. I find I need to do a sweep for crud and then follow up with the Swiffer for dust/hairballs.

the house supposedly gets swept once a week (my roomates and I have a chore rotation, and some are more fastidious than others) but it still always seems kind of dirty. I solved this problem by always wearing socks/slippers indoors. But we don’t even have pets so I imagine that’s way worse!

i hate sweeping!! LOL thats y i asked. I am going to try to cut it down to once a week. its crazy i think its more because my DH picked a dark cherry wood and you can really see the dog hair and dust.. and we leave the front door open with only the security screen closed when we are at work because the house would be like a oven if we didnt. maybe thats why we have so much dust.
@julies1949: airfilter machine? is this in the house or somethign you can buy?

I sweep every day….but I am a super clean freak…I could probably get by with once a week since it’s only me and my hubbie now and no kiddies or pets….

@MRSLMA: Thanks for the link! I am going to order one! I have hardwood floors in the kitchen, dining room and hallways and multile cats and I do believe this might just do the trick!

The swiffer vac is the best for pet hair. We had laminate floors in our townhouse and the pet hair and paw prints were driving me crazy!

I hate sweeping so much! Our floors are laminate/fake wood flooring, though, and they need it. If I don’t do it at least once a week, they look awful. I try to do them more than once a week, but after a week I really think……ew.
