With having 2 cats now, I find myself vacuuming ALL THE TIME!


When I was working daily - I would only get to vacuum about 1 - 2 times a week. Now that I'm home all the time, I find myself vacuuming everday - or more than once a day!

I vaccum once a week.. If I can.. It's really hard to do with working full time, and going to school full time, and have a 4 year old daughter.. But it needs to be done with 4 cats.......

I do sweep my kitchen floor everday,, because of cat litter.. ugggh.. I hate that stuff,, my cats are such throwers,, and to top it off,, they shake their foot when they get out, and it slings on the walls.. Makes me soo mad!!


But I love the little twerps!!!

I havent vaccumed as of yet for two reasons: I dont have a vacumm yet, and shes only been here for 4 days. I will get one tonight, and I am planning on vacumming everyday, she is medium haired and sheds like crazy!

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
I have a routine, when I walk through the door I feed the cats, change their water, put the kettle on, then vacuum the whole place.
Mainly because of the cat litter but I just can't relax in the lounge of there are any 'bits' on the carpet.
Maybe I'll struggle a bit when we have a bigger house in a couple of weeks

Once a week is all I can stand. We have wood floors, which I dust mop but I vacuum the furniture and rugs and in the kitchen.

I put every other day, but its really like every 2 days, at least that's how often the living room gets vacuumed, but the spare room, hallway and my bedroom only get done about once a week

We try to vacuum once a week, every second week if we're busy.

Our 2 don't make a huge mess....

HAHAHAHA I never do, I let DH do it! He hates the fuzz which mostly comes from our white dog. We have a Hoover bagless tunnel which really sucks up a lot of hair. I drool over the Dyson animal but too much money for me to spend.....

I got lucky. Our carpet doesn't show cats hiar, or the cats match the carpet! It's white & black speckles, so white, black, & organe fur doesn't show up!
I don't vacuum nearly as often as I should....mainly cause it scares Damita.... Once a month, at least. I *try* for once a week, but that doesn't usually happen.

You're lucky!


Harley sheds like CRAZY! We have light blue carpet, so it doesn't show, but it sure does when I vacuum! Sucks up a lot of that black hair

We got a cat that matches our furniture and carpet!
He is a tabby and we have dark beige carpets, tile and leather furniture--so I never notice his hair.

But I vaccuum every week to prevent any unncessary cat hair. Also, the hubby is slightly allergic to hair and dander, so we dust/vacuum every weekend.

The litter box area gets Dust Busted at least every other day though!

I vaccume once or twice a week with the regular vaccume cleaner. I vaccume everyday though with my small little dustbuster to get small messes and keep the house tidy.

I vacuum every couple days- sometimes more, sometimes less...

But usually I HAVE to vacuum because Chad tracks so much crap (grass, mulch, dirt, leaves...) in the house! We have a dark red/burgandy carpet (previous owners choice- doesn't match anything of ours
) that shows every little speck on it & it drives me crazy! I'm hoping this winter it will slow down since he won't be doing landscaping & mowing... I'll just have salt everywhere!

There's been times where I have vacuumed two or three times in a day from him tracking stuff in...


But otherwise I usually vacuum every 2 or 3 days... when I'm lucky!
