14.11.2023 03:30

Many housewives complain that cleaning their apartment takes too much of their time.

One of the reasons for the process being delayed may be the incorrect use of the vacuum cleaner.

Some people use the device "chaotically", which means they have to "go over" the same area with the brush several times.

The situation can be easily corrected by using a method called the "Potato Bed".

The essence of the method

Imagine that the flooring in your room is a potato patch.

This approach will help to conditionally divide the floor into several rows. Vacuum each of them.

Moreover, you don't need to pay attention to the type of floor covering. Does the row include both carpet and linoleum? "Walk" the vacuum cleaner brush over both areas.

"Process" all the rows in this way one by one. In this case, you will know exactly which places you have already vacuumed and which ones you have not yet.

There will definitely be no need to re-clean this or that area.

As a result, using a vacuum cleaner will no longer be a long process.
