I do once a month only when I see things like lint on the rug. I hate vacuuming. I am also not convinced it makes that much difference. </end quote></div>
Someone posted a thread in the "adults" section some weeks/months back about a show where they talked about vacuum cleaners. The brushes of vacuum cleaners can spread germs while they pick up crumbs. So if you have a normal vacuum cleaner, it's possible that it isn't doing a heckuva lot of good. (We have a hand-vac and threw out the attachment with brushes. And we clean it thoroughly, with peroxide, every time it gets emptied.)
