I believe in vacuuming each residential job....commercial only if covered in popcorn, gravel, etc.

I used a Proteam vac for years, but it finally died and I will not replace it. I prefer to use a Kirby vac on all residential due to the suction and that most ladies of the house are familiar with the quality of Kirby.

Commercial has been a simple Kenmore upright that I have had for decades.

I'm pretty sure there's a thread or two abou this subject.........I know the search function can be pretty wacky, and not always yield results when they're out there.

Ever notice most cleaners don't clean them either? Edging tools are rarely found on the trucks around here.

I use a stiff broom on the edges before vacuuming. Shame on you if your not. LOL I prefer an Oreck 700. Hell of a vacuum and light weight. On short pile it's self propelled.

That's a great tip right there. Get that dust n crap away from the base so it can be vac'd up.

Just to reiterate the forum has three search features. The first one is a forum search field right below the tool bar to the the far right an it appears in every page of the forum.

The second search feature is a Google search of the forum. That search field is on the Home page below the tool bar.

The third Search is on the tool bar and that one has the advanced search feature.

No disrespect to you or the forum, Mo.........I've just always struggled to find much with the search function.  Obliviously my fault now.

But do we pre-vac? laughing
