Vacuuming TipsI have a raised pattern carpet, so before vacuuming, I sprinkle salt all over it, wait a few minutes, then run the sweeper. It helps to get the fuzzies out of the grooves in the pattern.
When I change my sweeper bag, I always put potpourri in it before I run it. It makes the carpet and room smell better.
