    Using a dedicated trash can for vacuum dust?

    I just tip mine into the trash, never had any problems or thoughts about any of it. Dust is made of human skin and pet dander, as well as anything coming from outside when you open the windows, so just living in a house creates dust. Make sure your HVAC is equipped with HEPA filtration and put...

    Got an Electrolux LX

    Yeah I have several company refurbished Kirbys, Hoovers, and Electroluxes and I just leave them as they are. It's an important part of history to both show what was going on at the time in repairing old vacuums, as well as how they were doing it. I just treat them as a variation of the original...

    Got an Electrolux LX

    Metropolitan operated very ad-hoc with their refurbs. I just got one unknowingly and swore someone Kryloned it in their garage until I seen the sticker on the bottom! I've got a model L and they went to town on it with the spraypaint, even sprayed over the wheels! It also had its wheels...

    How to remove cat urine from carpet with carpet cleaners?

    AmtrakSebo1997 I never said it could not be removed. I said it could not be removed by just going over it with a shampooer. You will find out.

    Is this website legitimate?

    It may be, it may not be. When the site is legit and they have all their inventory posted - most of the time after I click buy and they already charged my credit card they go "oh we don't have this". THEN WHY IS IT LISTED

    How to remove cat urine from carpet with carpet cleaners?

    You cannot use a machine to shampoo out cat urine especially if its soaked in. You will never get it out. I had to rip up all my carpeting and trash it. You can use it as a rinser to get the solution out of the carpet but it cannot get it out of the carpet on its own. Water will just spread the...

    Hoover Windtunnel 2

    Oooh wow yeah wool area rugs are very touchy with vacuums. No vacuums with nylon bristles. I learned the hard way and accidentally ruined one of my wool rugs with the vacuum. I was like "ooh wow look at all this dirt"...didn't realize at the time it was little tiny fibers being burned off from...

    Hoover plastic Convertible

    https://tinyurl.com/3ev8ystj This the one? Looks in good shape. Price might be $10-$20 too high IMO. But it's not "that" bad. I've seen worse for more.

    Finally packing, (boxing) tons of Hoover items

    Congrats on having a museum room for your collection, something a lot of us can only dream of! Yes once you start going through stuff you will find stuff that has a place and stuff that doesn't. I'd get the stuff set up first that you know what to do with and know what you want to keep then...
