Can we use your vacuum cleaner and / or cleaning supplies?

You can use our vacuum cleaner, but you will have to first show us that you know how to use it - it has a few quirks.

• 1. This is a heavy upright unit and needs to be carried around not from the main handle, but from a special handle on the back marked "Carry Handle".

  2. To activate the rotating carpet brush, you need to press the low pedal on its left side (as you look at it from behind). Also, the carpet / hard floor switch must be in the "carpet position".

  3. You may change the "carpet height" switch only while the unit is off.

  4. When done, remove the garbage collector from its handle, take it outside and empty it in a plastic bag. Close the bag tightly and throw it in the garbage (metallic brown) bin. Paying attention to how everything fits together (so you can put it back the way it was), you may also clean the HEPA filter by shaking it vigorously in another plastic bag - inside the bin, for added cleanliness, if you wish. The HEPA filter collects very fine dust particles and washing it would render it useless. Make sure you put everything back the way it is; everything should slide back the way it was effortlessly.

  5. Don't forget to wash your hands after handling the electrical cord.

You may also borrow our Swiffer mop or steamer mop, but you will have to provide your own cloth.

You also need to install some Al protectors for the conventional stove (1 for each heating element to a total of 4 and 1 inside). They are cheap and can be purchased at Dollar Stores and / or convenience stores. I can provide a set to you for about $5.
