I was vacuuming every other day but now my little girl is terrified of the vacuum. She will start screaming and shaking for me to pick her up. I even tried vacuuming with her in my arms. She has never done this until about a week ago. Any tips on what to do?

Uhhhh...this is almost my life!
I sweep at least 3 time a day ( after every meal) and I try to vaccum the carpet in the livingroom everyday but usually ends up every other day (we have 3 cats)I hardly ever mop :( its so much work! I spot clean on my hands and knees usually.

I TRY to sweep everyday and vacuum 1 - 2 times a week and mop once a week...hard to do with a 10 month old following the sweep/vacuum/mops every move! LOL

i sweep every day, i vaccum maybe once a week (we only have 2 rooms w/ carpet) and i mop about every other day. @ shauna - if you have tile floors, keep your reg. mop handy if you get a steam mop. they are GREAT for disinfecting, but no so great for cleaning alone.

We mop about once a week but we run the vaccum every other day. We have a small vaccum that we run over the tile and then run the big one over the carpet. There always seems to be something on the floor for my daughter to get into. She has now found the cat food so we have to constantly move it and make sure pieces aren't on the ground because she will eat them!
