"Tips" from Pinterest Part 1

*I haven't written a blog post in such a long time. I apologize for this from the few people who follow me and my random thoughts.

Since it's already finals week in our 8 week class schedule, naturally I'm on Pinterest. I love Pinterest. I've found great recipes to try, cute clothes, home things I'm never going to afford because of the field of work I'm going in to, cleaning tips... and other random things. Today I thought I would share a piece of advice that I found on this wonderful website.

I decided that I was going to go through the home decor section and see if there were any random things I would like to have in my dream house. I stumbled across a cleaning tip pin. This pin said "who knew. a window squeegee removes pet hair from carpet."

Amazing! So what this is saying that all you have to do is crawl around on your hands and knees scraping a squeegee along the carpet. The pet hair will come up and you won't have to worry about having hairy carpet anymore. What a relief. 

Here is the example of what an amazing job this does.

Okay, seriously now. You know what else removes hair from carpet? A vacuum. You know what else can also remove dirt and dander that a squeegee won't get off the carpet? A vacuum.

Here is my cleaning tip for removing hair from carpet. Invest in a vacuum that will last. Plug in the vacuum. Vacuum your floor. Unplug the vacuum. Empty the canister. Put away vacuum.
Even a smiling vacuum can do this job.

This takes a lot less effort and is way more effective than scraping a tiny squeegee throughout your entire carpet. No matter how hilarious it would be to see someone attempt to do this, I would suggest just taking the time to just vacuum your carpet. Practicality wins with this one.

There's a tip from Pinterest that isn't so practical. Hopefully I can start a series of these :D.
