Here's a picture of the filter and the accumulated dust from a "bagless" vacuum cleaner. Actually a "Vax". The filter is BRAND NEW, replacing the original filter which was (around) 18 months old.
Once again, Mrs Trellis (*) is awarding POINTS for bloggers who can figure out where all that dust came from. HINT . . . it ALL came from one and only one object which was exhaustively hoovered immediately after the dust chamber was emptied and the new filter fitted. Surprised! I was amazed!
BTW, the 1650 watt Vax cleaner is sold as "ideal for homes with pets." It REALLY sucks! I mean, wow, it damn near lifts the carpets off the floor and with practise I'm pretty sure you could hoover up any unwanted puppies, kittens, goldfish and budgies very successfully. Forget hamsters. They'd just run round and round on the turbostream. But . . . should you treat yourself to one of these supercharged suckers, wear ear-defenders when using. A 1650 watt electric motor and turbofan is seriously noisy!

This has to have come from the uncharted spaces between one ear and the other - possibly those found on the head of A Bear With Very Little Brain. I can offer an extremely reasonable re-stuffing service for depleted Teddies whose heads have been similarly de-fluffed.
ReplyDeleteJinksy . . . DON'T TEMPT ME!!
ReplyDeleteIt's an entire dog called Fluffy, now deconstructed?
ReplyDeleteDid it come from between the pages of 'David Cameron, My Life in Verse'?
ReplyDeleteWow, aren't I immature. I want to say cat litter, but that's not really an object. Plus, this doesn't look crunchy enough to be cat litter.
ReplyDeleteIt's the dust lodged in the concertina folds of the old filter! I knew that hoovering it with the crevice tool would clean it - I was surprised just how much dust gets trapped there. Explains why the manufacturers advise you to change the filter every 12/24(?) months.
ReplyDeleteBUT THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN CLEAN THE OLD ONE and recycle it . . .
