My kids would rather ruin a vacuum cleaner than stoop to bend over and pick something up prior to vacuuming. I've heard that this trait is common in children. I had to do something to save my appliances. I explained how much it cost to repair a vacuum cleaner and let the kids know how long they'd owe me allowance and birthday money if they purposely vacuumed up a rock, a coin, or rope. We haven't had any problems since. Find out which vacuum cleaner mistakes you don't want to make.

I hate replacing high ticket items such as vacuums, so I try to make them last as long as I possibly can. The filter tip is a good one. I don’t clean it enough as I should.
