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

Dust buster yo

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

I’ve worked in LA in media production since 2010.

I managed several system upgrades and did repairs and trouble shooting on high end hardware. It was extremely solitary work that was a bad fit. I got my python coding cert last year and want to switch to something higher paying and more collaborative with safe conditions & hours.

Apologies if this is the wrong bowl but what is the best way to open up to a few close friends about my overdose attempt/hospitalization? I’m ok now (getting the professional help I need), but with a spouse who works 80 hr weeks, we’ve agreed to make a few friends aware since I may need the support. I know they’ll be understanding but I can’t help but feeling like a “crazy person” or “lunatic” for my actions, which landed me in the ER and then a psychiatry unit.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
