Another mystery of the vacuum:

 
These little holes that appear on some of our canister vacuums. What is it for? I should always keep it closed right? Physic says that if I open this then suction will leak out, but why would I ever want less suction?
Sometime it’s hard to connect 1 and 1. The point of these holes is so if you’re vacuuming an area rug, and the suction on your vacuum is so strong that the rug is sticking to your vacuum, then you can reduce the suction using this hole. This way you can vacuum your rug, but not vacuum up your rug. Keep in mind that you want to only let out enough suction that your rug is not being sucked up. This is important on some machines, because on some the roller is powered by the suction power.
You’ll note that you’ll never see this on an upright. This starts to branch off into Upright VS Canister, but that’s another discussion for another day. And yes, DEZMOND totally called this out before I posted it. Good job!

Cute infographic.

This was one of the most awesome info graphics I’ve seen in a while! I just had to share it with all of my followers. Hope you guys find it as funny as I did!

Facebook Cover Photo

Hi guys! I recently made a cover photo for my Facebook page. Check it out here! Tell me what you think; I spent about an hour on it. Feel free to like it while you're at it, and answer the poll there too!

As a thanks, here’s a sneak peak for the next post:
Do you hate it when your vacuum suction is too strong that it sucks your area rug up instead of just the dust? I’ll teach you how some vacuums remedy that tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Vacuum bag almost full? Change it!

Happy Pi Day! (it’s 3/14, 3.14)

Just have a quick tip for you guys. For those of you with vacuums that have bags in them, you might want to change the bag once its ¾’s full. This is because past this point your vacuum starts to lose suction. This of course means don’t try to compact the dust in there once it’s full. So next time you’re trying to vacuum and you feel like your vacuum isn’t as strong as it should be, change the bag!

This of course brings in a whole new topic of bag vs. bag-less vacuums. A discussion for another day so stay tuned!

Editing done

So after reading some of your comments, I went back and edited my roller post anyways. Now there's pictures! And I figured out how to make the page break. Turns out it was hiding in front of me all this time. There's a "Insert jump break" button on the blogger interface when you're writing/editing a blog, it's to the right of the "Insert a video" button and it looks like a... page being ripped in half. Funny and annoying how things can hide in plain sight huh?
