Yes and I do let mine on the furniture, because I can't get on the floor anymore. Well, I can get on the floor, but I don't have the strength anymore to get back up. Lol. So if I want to cuddle my dogs, they have to be at my level. I do also have house cleaners come every two weeks to do things that are things I can't do anymore because my arthritis has gotten so bad, but all the in between cleaning is up to little old me.

With those puppies, the dog hair recreates itself every day. Hahahaha!

Me too. In regarding to vacuuming. I never feel like I get the dog hair completely gone, but that's what happens with long-haired dogs.

I too vacuum using my feet, and no matter how consistent I am, there is that piece of dirt I find with my feet. Hard floors make spotting these things easier.

Vacuum and mop barefoot if you're in to that. Helps judge how clean the floor is. Believe me, it's easier to keep up if you keep it up.

My husband has also toweled down the shower after he uses it. I don't do that, but I spray in this Wet And Forget Shower Spray once a week, and there is no grime or gunk when maintained.

How are your experiences with using wipes, general-purpose systems and soaps? Which ones should I use in the kitchen and which ones do I need for the bathroom ETC? How do you properly use them nonvisually?
