BTW, did you know that after 7 years the thickness of the dust never increases? no, I don't know this from personal experience, although DH might disagree.
I had hoped it was only six weeks! froggyintexas

I tell people I just open the doors and windows on a windy day and that does it for me. Try it. It works.

Hmmm - in my house, it deposits as much dust as it removes. But, I don't really worry about it. I have screens on the doors to let the air in and keep the flying critters out. Dust - pfft!

It just hubby, me, 1 dog and 2 cats. Very big house, 4 bdrms, 2 1/2 baths, 2 family rooms, living, kitchen and dining room. I clean one room a day, no one to make a mess. The only room that takes more cleaning is my sewing room. I even have a safety gate on the down stairs so the pets don't go down there. But no, I don't keep my house spotless, just healthy. There is always dust cause I like open windows. And Mom always said if your beds are made and the dishes washed, the house is clean.

on a side note, I have found one good reason to vacuum regularly - if you don't, those little threads (you all know what I mean) get TROD into the rug and are much harder to vac out when the time comes.
I finally got a good vacuum (that someone was throwing out!) so now I don't mind doing it.

Please stop spreading misinformation. Vaccines haveNOT been shown to be the cause of autism. The scientist who published that report has been exposed as NOT having done actual research supporting his theory. He was ONE person. No one else has done research that supports the theory.[/quote]

Actually that's only partially true. Vaccines are the cause in most people. It seems that some bodies hold the mercury from the vaccines and this leads to autism. Most autistic people are found to have higher levels of mercury. While vaccine do not need to be made with mercury, it's cheaper and they last longer. Those of us who's bodies can extract the mercury don't usually make it to the spectrum.

Back to the topic, if my house is healthy, does this mean I don't have to go to work anymore? Can I just stay home in my healthy house? So I guess I can't call in sick, I guess it would be preventative!!!lol Think I can get away with that?
