Should probably get rid of some of them. Really only need one good regular vac plus one wet/dry vac.
One of my regular vac's brush accessories is literally called the "parquet twister": https://ca.miele.ca/Calgary/en/Product/Details/1298
Been meaning to also get an electric air duster, so I can blast dust into the air and then vacuum it as I go: Electric air dusters rock
I first use a broom to sweep the non sticky stuff into a pile and then I vacuum that pile up.
Vacuum for the carpets and rugs. Swiffer mop and broom for the non-carpeted areas.
Unfortunately, yes. My current space has wall to wall carpenting save for kitchen & bath. In the future I hope to find a spot that's more hardwood + scattered rugs, because I loathe the sound of vacuum cleaners and prefer sweeping to vacuuming.

I have a vacuum, but it kind of sucks. Got the cheapest model available, so it's not very powerful and is pretty noisy. Would be nice to have a midrange model that both didn't suck as much and sucked a lot more simultaneously. I don't enjoy vacuuming due to the noise and mediocre results from my bottom-of-the-line model, and go with the Swiffer approach on non-carpeted areas.
It's interesting to me that over 90% of the respondents have a vacuum, even including the one who has a radioactive monkey instead. The early 1900s model of hardwood floors and rugs that you'd take out to beat clean really has fallen by the wayside. Which both isn't surprising, and to an extent is surprising that it has to such a high extent. Apparently very few people are in older houses that still rely on rugs; everyone has done what my grandparents did and carpeted part of their old, pre-vacuum house.

At least with a vacuum you don't need to worry about microorganisms there. Nothing exists in a vacuum.
We ised to buy cheap ones. Lesson learnt now get more powerful ones.
This is best left until your annoying neighbour parks their pristine white car outside your front door.
But it is not really a vaccum, merely a volume of reduced air pressure; and there are tartigrades.
Powerful vacuum cleaners are being banned in the EU.
It was only an attempt at humour ^^

Hey that's a great idea!Vacuum for the carpets and rugs. Swiffer mop and broom for the non-carpeted areas.
I also own a carpet rake, which is very handy when you have a cat.
Cursory search come up with Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's, so i guess most big box stores will have them.Hey that's a great idea!
I've never heard of a carpet rake. I have two cats myself and a carpet rake would really come in handy. Do they sell these at the local pet store?
