Plug it in, press the button - and off you go across the apartment. That's how most people vacuum at home. But you usually notice a few crumbs afterwards that you missed. Here's how to vacuum more thoroughly and efficiently.
3 mistakes that everyone makes when vacuuming
Mistake no. 1: You vacuum before dusting
"But my feather duster attracts the dust and gets stuck in it!" You hear this all the time. It's true that dust sticks better to antistatic products. Nevertheless, something always falls off - in addition to dust, there are also crumbs on the table, for example, which also fall onto the floor when dusting. So clean the rooms first and only vacuum at the very end. And of course: only mop the floors after vacuuming.

Mistake no. 2: Vacuuming without a plan
As you have just read, you only vacuum at the very end. To make sure the floor is really clean, you should put everything in the way upright. This includes floor vases or dining chairs, for example. If you vacuum around everything, it will take more time and you will see the edges of the dust. So clear the way - it's worth it!
Mistake no. 3: You forget the skirting boards
The floor shines, but you can hardly see the skirting boards or baseboards because of all the dust? Of course, these should also be vacuumed regularly. The best way to do this is to remove the foot and run the pipe directly over the skirting boards. Then vacuum the floors.
