Spring Cleaning + Take A Dyson Home!

Our gorgeous pussy cat is shedding his Winter coat and leaving fur balls throughout our house. Somedays it seems all I do is sweep, vacuum and dust! It’s so frustrating! Before I take him to the vet to shave his long wooly mane, I thought I’d trial 2 heavy duty Dyson vacuums to see if they’d be better than our regular vacuum that simply can not keep up with our kitty’s fluff trail.

Each morning I try to remove his fluff from the couch with our poor old little dust-buster. It takes about 15 minutes of rubbing and rolling with plenty of elbow grease! A bit of a work out if you ask me! I’ve found a Dyson model, (Digital Slimâ„¢ DC59), that is cordless and light weight enough to be wall mounted, just like a dust-buster, yet as strong as a household vacuum and cuts my cleaning time to just 5 minutes! Oh my, I’m sounding like an ad… but it’s true!

The second Dyson vacuum I’m trailing is called The Cinetic™ . It’s more like a regular household vacuum but very, very powerful. There are no bags, no loss of suction, and no filter fuss. It also looks like a futuristic space machine.

This is not a sponsored post. Dyson has supplied me with these products for 2 weeks to trial and review.

And now for the fun part…

If you’d like to take one of these beauties home to try out yourself, simply leave a comment below answering this question: “What problem do you want Dyson engineers to solve in your home?”
