All bare floors here too. IMHO the most important things is a floor or parquet brush. These brushes are softer than the all floor ones. I used an the all floor brush of my Miele but didn't like the pushing around of the dirt. A parquet brush picks up the dust on bare floors better than other brushes. I think the brand of the vacuum is less important, you don't need mega power to get bare floors clean.

Better still, you could attach the Swifter dusters onto each foot and voila! You have a clean floor everytime you walk across the living room or down the hallway... LOL. (Don't tell me you already do this Launderess!) Jon :-) | ||

As a matter of fact,I don't. However have been known to get down to business with hands when polishing the front sitting room and kitchen floors. In my mind nothing equals a nice hand polished floor. Buffers do not always get into the cracks and corners, and sometimes send polish flying about. As for "skaking" polishing, IIRC did see this done in France once. One of those large estate homes with huge parquet floored rooms. Makes sense actually, but if the floor is so slippery one could sake on it, wonder how safe it would be to thread upon.

Bare floors Sounds like an excellent situation for an "electric broom" Laundress, what did you use before Swifters were invented? | ||

Stop it everyone, she's gonna find herself a Connie and that's that. And yes like Austin sez, leave it out on show because when your friends come over they're gonna want to try it out once you tell them it floats on a cushion of air.. they won't be able to resist, so you plug it in, switch it on, hand them the hose, sit down and they'll do the vacuuming for you.

Kenmore, IIRC, we had a stick broom type vac which while great for getting up cat hair and large "dust" the minute bits pretty much stayed put. So, after vaccuming would use a dust mop lightly misted with either Endust of just plain water. Think Swifer cloths do a better job on bare floors than vacuums as they get all the dust and muck, even the fine dirt many vaccums tend to leave behind. For large "dust bunnies" pet hair and the like vaccums are great though. Launderess | ||

Many housewives felt vaccuming just didn't get all the dirt the way a good beating in the fresh air would. Also airing out rugs is a good way to freshen them without resorting to chemicals. Natural fiber rugs in particular benefit from a good "airing" and such airings were routine as part of "spring cleaning". Fresh air and sunshine are some of the best disenfectants/fresheners around.
