I have been OCD with germs every since I took Microbiology in school..

In my house.. NO ONE wears shoes, ever.. I actually have a sign on my door that requests that shoes come off and that you wash your hands upon entry...

If I have a worker that has to come in the house and it is against the companies policy to take shoes off. I have plastic booties at the door that they have to put on. I will allow food in the living room but by adults only and I vaccuum with a hepa filter vaccuum three times a week, including all furniture.

My vaccumm cleaner has a plastic canisteer and I wash it out once a week.

wearing shoes in the house is so bad for our lungs... I hate carpet for the germ factor to begin with..

The only reason I don't have a dog is because I can't tolerate the paws on the carpet being dragged in and out of the house....

Also, this is the first year I am doing it, but I am going to be wearing a mask anytime I feel like I am going to exposed ...like in Target last night///

Also I have wipes and I wipe down all shopping carts before my hands touch them....

I know we need some germs to help our immune systems grow but since I am on steroids, I have such a weak immune system I do everything to stay away from them now

also with everyone turning on the heat.. Make sure all vents have been washed and cleaned and then dried so no mold can get in.. also check windows around the house for wet spots where mold can grow... and make sure your kitchen sinks are disinfected they are more germy then you bathroom sinks...

I think I have PMS..sorry for the rant

I have a Rainbow where water is used as the filter and you just dump everything down the toilet when you are done. No emptying chambers and dust flying everywhere and no bags to change. It's great and it gets up a LOT more than the average vacuum. My mother in law vacuumed with her vacuum one time and then came over and got ours to see how much more it picked up and it was amazing how much hers left behind. Anyway, I think that the rainbow is awesome and although it is expensive, we have had it for about 5 years now and love how much it cleans up.

i don't really having anything interesting to add except for reiterating the difference a good vacuum makes! There are expensive no matter which one you get but this truly is one area you get what you pay for! it is an investment in your health.
