Vacuuming is probably the most time consuming of housecleaning. I am not only cleaning floors and carpets, but rugs, mats, baseboards, door frames, and furnace screens. In order to do a great job, you should run your vacuum over multiple time , and in different direction in order to get all the sand and dirt. Plus, I use a crevice tool do clean along floors nd carpets, and a small brush tool to clean baseboards and door frames. cleaning baseboards is important as they accumulate a lot of dust and dirt. cleaning behind a door with a bare floor, where a lot of rolling dust hides is key. hope you find this helpful
