Stuffed

[fbhjr]

Cleaning the bedroom has left me very, very stuffed up.
The dust was so bad that at one point my face started breaking out from all the dust. But, a shower fixed that part.
Now I’ve just got to expel everything else from the lungs.

I was going to write up the stories off all the stuffed animals. But, I’m too stuffed up. Just know that they all have stories. Of course, some are just “I got this one as a present…”
They are organized in teams.







To show you how dusty it was, here is the “Alien” I found on top of the bookshelf.


I also want to point out how hard it is to vacuum the top of a bookcase when the hose does not reach there. I had to lift the vac with one hand and use the hose with the other.

...why not vacuum the stuff animals to get rid of the dust and reduce the clouds of ick you have to breathe in?

It doesn't work.
Maybe there is a special stuffed animal attachment, but not on my vac.
If try it, it sucks in that part of the animal and nothing else.

Hmmm... Do you have a brush attachment? There is also an attachment that is designed for draperies and curtains, the one I remember seeing/using was a wide-head, about 5 inches long, and the "suck" end had a row of thin slits instead of just open or a brush. It was more 'gentle' in sucking than other attachments or just the open hose.

I bet you could engineer a special attachment *wink nudge*

Most curtains don't have fur.

And, it wasn't the animals that got so much dust up my nose anyhow. They could be carried outside and dusted in front of the fan. It was the rug, books, video tapes, clothes and other things that were the major problem.

If you have a dryer, (sorry can't remember if you have one in the apt or not) put the animals in on just the air setting, no heat. Should pull out a lot of the dust. If you are worried about eyes or parts. put them in a pillowcase.

We do have a dryer. But, at $165 a load it would cost a lot to do all of the animals.
Whacking them behind a fan is much more cost effective.

Wow! and yeah I see your point. $165? Damn.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Sorry. $1.65. But still...

I'd wondered, but, ok, and yeah I do see your point, free is always preferable, lol.
