Other people's lives, part N

I was reading r/amitheasshole, as one does, and I came across somebody explaining how often you should vacuum your house. They explained that you should vacuum one day a week for each person and pet living in the house.

I am a terrible housekeeper. My parents, who were anything but, had a cleaning lady in once a week, and the only time the vacuum came out inbetween times was when something large got spilled on the floor.

I loathe vaccuming but also quite like not having filthy floors, so I now have a Eufy called Eduardo, who is quite entertaining. But I also basically have one huge room with a tiny bedroom off it, so my setup is ideal for a little robot, with no stairs to negotiate.

My place is alas not suitable for a robot vacuum, but my cordless has changed my life this year. No more staggering up the stairs with a Henry, and it does make it really easy just to whip round a bit of floor when noticing it needing it.

My carpeted area is the stairs and all of the upstairs, and I am thinking maybe a toddler gate at the top of the stairs would enable a robot vacuum cleaner to keep the bedrooms clean.

If they ever come up with a robot which can clean stairs, I will be so happy. I imagine something like a slinky.
