Folding Reusable
January 27th, 2010
Question: do you think that the new reusable green bags pose a serious risk to checkout operators?
I work in a supermarket and I handle these reusable bags all day and i find that a massive percentage of them are in DISGUSTING condition. I am allergic to Pet Hair and I would bet that close to 50% of the bags come thru covered in Pet Hair, some come thru covered in blood, i even had cockraoches crawl out of one, not to mention the girl that got hepatitus coz she put her hands in someones bag that had a rusty razor in it. i guess my questions are, are your reusable bags CLEAN? are they folded neatly and not all scrunched up? And do you REALLY think that they are a "good" change considering the health risks to humans?
Answer: Wow! I never thought of it that way. I would never take a yucky bag to be reused, too embarrassing. I will star your question, to see if any of my contacts have the answer.

Master Leather Cleaner
January 27th, 2010
Question: Whats the best way to clean leather furniture/upholstery? How do you stop it from drying out?.?
I have a light in color, almost white, leather couch. Who has, or who is the master of and making it look like new.
Answer: mechanics handsoap. you want something WITHOUT pumice (grit), it can scratch the leather. You should also stay away from anything "orange" it dries out leather.
put the soap on the leather wipe it with towels until clean. wipe it again after with a damp towel. Apply a leather conditioner, this is what keeps it from drying out. I also suggest you apply a leather protector after to keep it from getting stained. Armour All is usually the best

Dirt Devil Vision
January 27th, 2010
Question: How long do Bagless Vacuum cleaner filters last?
Hello, I'm thinking of purchasing Dirt Devil Vision vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter. I realize those filters are very expensive....how long do they last? (in terms of years, and in terms of how many times you emptied the cup approx).
I'm new to Vacuum Cleaners, open to suggestions! Thanks! (100-200 price range)
Answer: Personally, I'd stay away from Dirt Devil, Eureka both. I've never had good luck with either. If you're up to spend the $200 range, try a Bissell Healthy Home vacuum. It's got the HEPA filtration. The big difference is it has a similar cyclonic air path to the Dyson (9 little cyclones) in there to spin the dirt out of the air stream and into the collection cup. This means less dirt goes to the filters and your filters last longer.
And the unit has a sponge filter that is washable before the expensive HEPA filter. Keep that clean and your HEPA filter will last a lot longer. Because I keep that filter clean, I've not had to replace the HEPA filter yet although I have taken it out and cleaned it with another sweeper one time. And I've had the sweeper just about a year. But in my house, a sweeper sees a LOT of use!
We empty the cup after every use. And every so often, I take the entire dirt collection unit outside and tear it apart and brush all the loose dirt/dust out of it. The stuff that sticks to the sides and so forth. Leaving dirt in the sweeper usually results in stinky sweeper and no one likes that! We try to sweep every other day minimum because of the pets. And during shedding season, it's likely to be every day!
I'm very happy with the Bissell Healthy Home. We have a lot of pets (3 dogs and 4 cats) and it deals with the Pet Hair great. Does a good job on hard floors and carpet both. The only issue is that the suction is so strong that throw rugs are an issue! It tries to eat them for lunch! But it comes with a little Turbo hand tool that you use on upholstery and we just use that on the throw rugs.
If you watch, you can get this unit on sale in the $200 range, normal price is about $250. Lifetime belt and 5 year warranty. I've gotten good life out of my Bissells. My oldest one is about 8 years old. It still works great but the catch that holds the unit in the upright position broke and the unit kept falling over and it was driving my husband nuts. So I bought the new one and the old one has been assigned duty as the dust collector in his wood refinishing shop. And the hose on the unit is soft and long enough I can park the base at the bottom of the steps and clean the entire staircase without any issues.
