Home Ec: 5 Things You Should Never Vacuum

Mar 11th 2010 8:58AM Add baby powder.
My son emptied a whole container on his rug. I vacuumed it up and then realized the next morning there was a thin layer of the stuff all over every surface and inside every tiny crevice of the whole room. Smelled lovely, but how annoying!
Next day vacuumed another room, but a puff of powder warned me more was in the bag. I put in a new filter, emptied the receptacle, put the machine on the porch, turned the thing on, and let it run for 30 min. It still is a bit of a problem months later.
