[Nfb-krafters-korner] cleaning up after crafting

[Shelbi Hindel]

Well, It isn't crafting but my worst vacuuming experience with something
getting wrapped around the beater brush was my hair. It wrapped tightly very
quickly. It was very difficult to operate that machine with my head almost
in it. It also did not unwrap nearly as easily nor quickly as it wrapped. I
did lose some hair and it pulled a lot and I some how ended up with a couple
bruises on my face. All this because a paper got under the vacuum and I did
not shut it off before tipping it back, reaching under to remove the paper
from the floor. Be Careful, always!

Hi all,

Oh my, I sure didn't mean to start a discussion on vacuuming! But when Jill
mentioned cleaning out her Dyson vacuum it reminded me of all the times I
have cleaned out my own Dyson and the problems dropped crafting items have
caused to my vacuum.

The biggest culprit is yarn. seems like after every other vacuum I find yarn
rolled around my vacuum brush. This makes it impossible for the brush to
turn so here I am vacuuming and picking up nothing, simply wrapping that
yarn tighter and tighter. The only solution is to unplug the vacuum and
unwind the yarn. <sigh> of course next time I usually remember to feel
around on the floor for yarn before vacuuming. 

Jewelry cord is another similar problem, and I just don't know how many
beads I have provided to my vacuum for its dinner. Twist ties and rubber
bands are also unpleasant. one of my worst experiences was reaching into the
vacuum brush and sticking myself with a broken beading needle.

My advice for what it's worth is the clean the brush and if it's a Dyson,
empty the canister after every vacuuming. And of course get down and search
the floor.

Now ladies, do have fun!

Cathy F
