I vacuum my hardwood floors because it works. I use a steam mop too lol

I asked the hw guy about the bona cleaners which are made for hw floor.

He said same thing about humidity and wood. Keep them at constant humidity not too much nor too little.

Which makes sense to me. That's why it creaks more in the winter when the air is very dry. We have a house humidifier that helps a bit. But if it works and no issue that should be fine there's different types of wood that rewxt differently.

We use a Dyson canister with the floor attachment so no hard plastic rollers. I actually hold the canister and walk around with it so it gets a luytrle heavy at times. But the cordless ones should work well unless you have a lot of he floor.

I'm also concerned about the push vacuums and the wheels and harsh brush. The floor attachment has been awesome.and so much easier than push vacuums.

What else are you supposed to do? Sweeping just kicks up dust and swiffering doesn't get everything. You vacuum first to get the big stuff the mop

So do something totally inefficient to appease people who want a luxury lifestyle on a beer budget? Sweeping takes longer, leaves dirt on the floor, spreads dust into the air and is physically more laborious. How do you know they don't have a disability that makes it difficult to sweep? Stop judging them because of their commitment to efficient cleanliness

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
