Clogging - Not the Dance

September 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Dirt, Home

Is it a sign of cheap carpet when the vacuum clogs with carpet fibers each time you use it?  I know it’s not my vacuum cleaner that’s at fault.  I’ve had it for 8 or 10 years and I love it.  Works great.  Except when it’s clogged (which never happened previous to… Casa Amarilla!)

I can’t seem to get through one complete room without the vacuum clogging.  At first it just gets a little louder.  I ignore that.  Then it sounds like legos are rattling around in there somewhere.  I try to ignore that, too.  (And, not it’s not legos.  The legos are all in Jack’s room and you can’t vacuum in a room where the carpet isn’t visible.)

It’s when the vacauum cleaner starts spitting all the carpet fuzz back out at me that I have to give up.  I mean, what’s the use in vacuuming when you’re spreading dirt rather than cleaning it up?

I keep hearing the Dyson guy’s accented voice in my head proclaiming that a Dyson vacuum won’t ever clog.  Wanna bet?

Anyway, I guess vacuuming will have to wait until Dan gets home and can unclog the darn thing.  I tried, and got a large dog’s worth of synthetic fur out of it, but it’s still clogged.  I’d hate to keep at it and break the darn thing and never be able to vacuum again.  *Ahem*

    I have a dyson and it doesn’t clog BUT with your carpet (and luck), the vacuum won’t clog but it will completely suck up any remaining carpet you may still have. Yes, it is that good.

    Tell Dan I can take care of it for you. I am an ACCOMPLISHED vacuum de-clogger!
