Vacuum cleaner buying

Turns out to be far more interesting, funny and interactive than [livejournal.com profile] ascetic_hedony and I realised.

Demonstration_Man poured bicarb, rice and fake cat hair all over his display floor, rubbed it in, vacuumed it up with a special vibrating head and topped off his performance by rubbing fake fur all over his trousers then cleaning it off with one of the attachments. Anyone willing to vacuum his groin in public deserves special love, sympathy and possibly a towel.

We bought a fresh, boxed one. It cleans dog hair off carpet and is an excellent new toy. All is well.

I need to see this for myself. and take Sarah with me to see it as well.

As a side point, we'll be needing a new vacuum cleaner too.

You know that eye contact moment when you're both trying desperately not to laugh?

[livejournal.com profile] mynxii knows where the store is...

Hmm, bicarb can be sprinkled on floors prior to vacuuming to help remove odors. I suspect cheating. ;)

Actually, it makes me think my next vacuum cleaner will need to be able to suck up lots of bicarb.

He swore it was the closest he could get to 'real dust'

You should go back with a bag full of *real* dust from your previous vacuum. Persuade as many hounds as you can round up to roll around on the test carpet and a few cats as well for good measure. *Then* see how good the vibrating groin attachment is. (-;

I dread to think. Actually my imagination is, as usual, working overtime, so I shall just think the worst!!

Ahhhhhh! That all makes a bit of sense now. You see I was thinking that... err you don't need to know! (-;

Suuuuuuuuuuuure you were ;-)

I like the idea of the vibrating head, can that be combined with the cleaning of the trousers?? Would be an EXCELLENT marketing tool!

Realistically you'd have to lie down and be vacuumed for that to work - I'm not saying it can't be done!

[identity profile] tiger-75.livejournal.com 2007-03-27 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if you would need to lie down, it could be a very entertaining way to do housework. And say, you've got a great excuse if you were 'caught in the act' as it were!! xx

We can try it if you wants....

Also: when should I take leave to best benefit from a week in your lovely company?

[identity profile] tiger-75.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm there from about the 30th April to the 20th May, give or take a week or so. Lets go on a road trip....

Please don't sit on my vaccuum cleaner.
