vacuums have an adjustment to the suction, leave that wide open to try then slowly close to raise the suction. usually works for me, just pick a room you hate the window coverings in. ;^)
we paid a fortune 12 years ago, though i don’t remember who even made them for me or what i paid. the lady yesterday had to tell me what they were called again. i presume i knew when i got them originally that the living room had austrian shades and that the dining room has a kingston valance with panels. but the lady yesterday told me what they were called and that they were very expensive. i am not a home decorating type, not interested in redoing anything. she can bleach these because they are offwhite. i don’t move furniture around or redecorate or watch any of those shows, they just make me nervous. i am missing whatever that particular gene is. Though i have to say i am happy with the new hardwood floors in the fam room. we had the berber wall to wall taken out and hardwood put in there, bc it’s easier to dustmop for dog hair than to vacuum constantly. Jules black hair became a problem on the light colored rug. Chan and Loosh[RIP] are/were only a problem if you are wearing black.
