The tutor offers commentary on a job he doesn’t do often enough.

In my household, I own some housecleaning chores, one being vacuuming. It’s really not much work, but like everything else, it’s got its details, one of which is removing and cleaning the filters.

One of our vacuum cleaners is a dyson ball model which we bought five or six years ago. It has two filters which you’re meant to clean every three months. Believe me: I used to be pretty good about that, but lost focus for some reason. I’m trying to repent now; I took out the filters and cleaned them yesterday.

One of the filters resides at the top of the dustbin; it traps the dirt as the air exits the canister. It’s obviously dirty when I take it out for cleaning.

The second filter is in the ball itself, and doesn’t show any sign of dirt. To my thinking, the air passes through it just before returning to the environment. Since it looks clean, I guess the first filter catches all the visible debris.

Both filters are meant to be rinsed under tap water, then allowed to air dry. The drying can take over 24 hours, so I can’t use the dyson for a couple of days after cleaning its filters.

I’ll be posting more housecleaning observations as they occur:)
