[Blindtlk] Keeping House Independently

[Judy Jones]

My daughter has said, though, that hers does not replace the vacuuming she 
does, just controls dirt and hair in between times.  It sounds to me like 
the Rumba would not replace a vacuum any more than an electronic device or 
app would replace the cane or the dog.

You talking about the Rumba. It is a robot and does its work pretty much by 
itself.

mobility?

A rumba is a small robot vacuum.

Hi Christine,

It's all what you feel comfortable with. You've gotten a lot of really good 
advice from a lot of the other people. From my perspective I bought a Rumba 
because I had to two dogs,  a  guide dog and a retired dog and two cats in 
the house and I wanted to vacuum my house a minimum of once a day preferably 
twice and I didn't want to take the time to do that. So the Rumba was an 
absolutely fabulous solution for me. Find out what you're comfortable with 
and go for it.

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to get your opinion about keeping house independently. I used 
to have someone come in once a month just to help with things I may have 
missed, but I am debating whether to do this still or not. I did get some 
rehab training with cleaning, but I am not the best at it. My main hangup is 
using a broom, as I just can’t figure out how it is done. I just invested in 
a Swiffer so I hope that helps.

I was wondering if you keep house independently, or if you have someone 
sighted come in once in a while to make sure things are kept nicely and are 
not dirty. Thanks so much for your thoughts.

Christine
