Twice a year we blow our house. Its the house Vipassana, the opportunity to remove deep pockets of dust from under the furniture, the washing machine, behind book cases or books... where spiders like to knit their webs to catch insects; we also blow away, from high window sills, hundreds of lady bug corpses and other occasional bugs that fly inside during the winter - lady bugs seemed to multiply, I tried to catch as many as possible in a bag and free them in the garden as soon as the weather warms up.
Today 4/21/13 on a sunny day, at 75 F, with lots of solar power, and after the pine pollen has mellowed down, we went for it... Alden, usually in charge of the blower from the vacuum cleaner, was really moving. I went ahead or behind moving furniture, sweeping, dusting the furniture and shelves and mopping at the end. I must confess we only mop all the wood floors a few times a year, after spring and fall deep cleanings and when Talia or Daniel come to visit. From now on also when Cassandra comes to visit since she is living in Phoenix; with Ryan and Melissa its different I vacuum after they leave because both their cats really leave fur behind.
After an hour and a half the house feels light, spacious, silent and clean!
