Giveaway Results: Hoover Bagged Upright Vacuum

I long to find a routine that my family and I can maintain so that we don’t spend so much time on chores every day.

Being home to clean house….

Right now it’s putting down adhesive shelf paper—what a pain!

My hardwood floors!

Oh gosh, where do I begin? I can’t stand dragging out large vacume down the stairs and then back up the stairs. So that’s issue #1. I also have a basement FILLED with toys that need some storage solution. Otherwise when I’m cleaning I just move them from one spot to another.

Our biggest cleaning challenges is keeping the carpets free of stains. No matter how often we get it cleaned or spotclean it, I’m always finding spots and stains.

my biggest cleaning dilemma is vacuuming stairs. if i use my big vacuum, it’s a pain and it just doesn’t do well along the edges and back of each step… if i use my little handheld vacuum, it doesn’t have the power to suck up all the dirt and debris.

this looks like a great solution!

My biggest cleaning dilemma at my house is the stairs! Somehow they attract all the fuzzies and hairballs in the house. But it’s so difficult to heave my huge vacuum up and down the stairs every time I want them clean! This would be a lifesaver!

My biggest cleaning dilemma right now is that my vacuum is broken! Winning this would be a perfect solution.

The wood floor in my kitchen – it never seems really clean.

My biggest vacuuming dilemma is not having electrical outlets where I need them. There are a few place that are very hard to reach with the vacuum because of that.

My biggest problem is keeping the clutter and toys in check. I can’t walk from one room to the next without bending over 12 times to pick up toys or little cut up pieces of paper. Then when I walk back to the original room, it seems I didn’t pick anything up because there is all new stuff on the floor to pick up! UGH! These children are like tornadoes! But they’re my little tornadoes and I love them so much!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is my 2 year old .. he creates messes faster than I can clean them up! Having him assist me with small jobs seems to help with the chaos. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway!

My biggest challenge is finding a vacuum that will hold it’s charge long enough to clean all of my hardwoods. My last vacuum only lasted 6 months.

My biggest cleaning Dilemma? My 10 month old twins!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is trying to keep my daughter’s toy clutter from taking over our house. There are books and stuffed animals and pretend kitchen foods everywhere! I know it’s my own fault for buying the stuff for her. Sometimes I wish we had a huge playroom where all of her toys could go and NEVER COME OUT AGAIN!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is time. There never seems to be enough (or any) time to clean. Any cleaning tool that helps me save time is a winner!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is my kitchen and keeping the floor clean from crumbs to sand from the sand box. This product sounds great and I would love to win it. Thank you for entering me in your giveaway

One cleaning dilemma? I have so many!! My biggest one at the moment, other than my ongoing, never-ending laundry situation, is keeping my dining room clean. It’s pretty much the gathering space in my house & the first room you see when you walk in the house. We eat all our meals in the dining room & it’s carpeted and my children cannot seem to NOT drop food on the floor (at least it’s brown carpet…not my choice!). I’d love a handy vac like this one to catch those messes immediately instead of having to drag out the big old heavy vacuum! And I love new cleaning tools, too!!

I have a “short” stairway into my living room. The stairs are wood and I have 2 dogs. The hair and whatnots all gather at the bottom of my 3 stairs onto my living room floor (Which is also wood). I can’t seem to keep this area clean from anything!

Lack of motivation? That and a 3 year old that quickly negates any cleaning I have done.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is the neverending fight against cat hair. ARGH! I love my cat, but I think she sheds on my kid at night.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is cleaning up cat fur.

I own this vac and it is WONDERFUL! If I win another one, I am giving it to my sis-in-law who would love it!!

My biggest cleaning dilema is my floors. I have wood floors and 3 kids age 5 and under. My floors are always dirty. But this stick vac has saved my day–it holds its charge, is easy to use, and looks good just stanging around in my kitchen.

My biggest cleaning dilemma? The cat litter box. And the cat hair everywhere. And the hairballs. So I guess the dilemma is the cats. Good thing I love cats.

My biggest cleaning dilemma… I have FOUR boys. They’re a mess. They all have jobs that they have to do every day, but I swear as soon as the oldest three walk in from school, it’s like a tornado goes through with them.

Finding time, with 3 kids 2 and under

My biggest cleaning problem is the dustballs that appear overnight on my wood floors. This vacuum would be great!

My biggest cleaning dilemma (and I have a few!) is the constant clutter, and even when I clean, things get messy again in what seems like a few minutes. I dread the summer, when both kids are home ALL the time.
Thanks for the chance to win – looks like an awesome prize, and anything that easy to use and efficient is thumbs-up in my book!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is trying to clean the house with little ones! I try to balance my days with productivity and having fun with my kids. But most days either the fun is out or the cleaning is out and I’m left frustrated!
~haleyj99@yahoo.com

My biggest cleaning dilemma would be the floors. Whether it is vacuuming, sweeping or mopping it seems like it is a never ending chore. Thanks for the chance!

cleaning under beds

I have a difficult time with getting the baseboards clean. It would be great to win this awesome prize!

I hate all the crumbs that end up on the floor after I’ve vacuumed. This giveaway will remedy that

we have hardwood floor in all rooms except our bedroom and I hate it, can’t seem to find anything that actually works to get it all up, with 3 kids and pregnant with the 4th all the time on my knees cleaning to floors is killing me..
thanks for the giveaway
Holly

Our biggest cleaning dilemma is the stairs. They’re very narrow and steep. Also it’s difficult to vacuum because it seems someone is always napping or sleeping when we’d like clean!

THanks for the great giveaway!

we have a pet in the house, so my biggest issue is pet hair. keeping it up and off everything.

My cleaning challenge each week would have to include, how am I going to vacuum without running over the kids, and of course switching levels on the vacuum from an area rug to wood floors and then to carpet. Thanks for the chance to enter!!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is having time to do a thorough clean, cleaning the stairs and cleaning the blinds!

My cat is incontinent. He’s sick and will be passing away soon, but it’s hard to keep everything as clean as we would like.

My biggest cleaning dilemma right now is that my vacumm is broken and it’s hard to keep the dirt down without it!

WE just moved into a new house and they have beautiful hardwood floors, only I hate to get out the mop and bucket.

My biggest dilemma is my kitchen floor. Every night after dinner it is a huge mess from the kids!

My biggest dilemma is having time to vacuum. My two year old is terrified of the vacuum, but if I wait until he’s napping it wakes him up!

My children’s bedroom!!!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is under the dining room table. My son can get really messy when he eats and drops crumbs all over.

WOW! I’m so excited about this! Having 7 people and a dog in a small city house that has this weird black dirt (from the factories), crumbs etc…
my biggest frustration is a constantly dirty floor. And dragging out the vacuum, plugging it in and lugging it around just doesn’t happen often enough!
I would LOVE to WIN THIS VACUUM!

Actually having the motivation to clean, that’s my biggest dilemma! That and scrubbing the tub, it kills my back…

My biggest dilemma is my little boy. He can make a mess so fast. Once I clean a new area. I turn around and there is a new one.

Dog hair! We have 2 dogs and seems as soon as I sweep or dust…..it’s everywhere again.

Firewood mess. We use wood-burning stoves to heat. The fires are nice and cozy, but the bark, dirt and dust is non-stop. During the coldest months, I haul more than 4 wheel-barrow loads a week and a huge vacuuming session always must follow. The procedure generally involves a broom, shop-vac and sweeper. I’m usually pretty relieved when spring finally arrives.

My biggest problem is the bathrooms! I just hate doing them, and I’m eight months pregnant so I’ve just given up doing the bathtub altogether as I can’t reach anymore. Our floor collects hair like crazy, too.

My BIGGEST dilemma is keeping the house looking nice for more than 5 minutes at a time. With 2 dogs, 2 kids, and a husband someone is alway making a mess!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is dusting. I HATE to dust, so when I actually go to do it, the dust is thick and it takes so much time to be thorough. I’ve tried to cut down on knick-knacks, but the dust remains.

I find that my kitchen and dinning from floor are the most challenging to me! As soon as I sweep and mop, the kids are running through with mud on their shoes!

Currently, it’s the massive amounts of cereal that accumulate under the kitchen table every morning. No matter how often I vacuum, it seems to multiply!

My biggest dilemma is having a vacuum without attachments to clean upholstery. The vacuum is very old and was self-propelled but that is also broken. I need this!

How nice;).

My biggest cleaning dilemma is mopping the kitchen. We have 5 doors 2 of them outside entries in the kitchen. It’s always a mess!

Vacuuming. Seriously. Mine does not suck ;/

My biggest cleaning dilemma is finding the time and motivation to clean. Of course a new vacuum cleaner would help with the motivation part!

We have no space for anything in our home so we have these pathways from room to room. We are going through a de-cluttering right now and I just feel overwhelmed by it all.

Ugh, our biggest dilemma are the CRUMBS and dirt from our 2 kids! I would have to clean the floors 2 times every day to keep up with it. Oh, and the bathrooms because they are gross and my husband is the bathroom cleaner but he only deep cleans once a month minimum in there.

The corners, as well as high-traffic areas (around the coffee table near the couch) are the WORST areas to keep clean. Our vacuum just conked out – so this would be an AWESOME upgrade!

my biggest dilemma is keeping everything clean with a 9 month old while being 6 months pregnant!

Bathrooms are the hardest to keep clean with teenagers in the house!

my biggest dilemma is the bathroom– kids just dont understand!

My biggest dilemma is keeping things clean. I have twins, so five minutes after I’ve vaccuumed, the house is a mess again and needs to be done again!!

My biggest cleaning dilemma currently is how to clean glass shower doors effectively!

My biggest dilemmas: 1. the clutter. I can clean a room, only to turn around and find it needs cleaning again, because of little people dragging everything back out. 2. The Laundry. I have so much trouble with laundry, it’s unbelievable. It’s getting better with the oldest DD helping, but I don’t like doing laundry.

my biggest dilemma is our bedroom…..seems like it is an after thought.. i never have time or the energy…and it is were every thing gets dumped….

My biggest cleaning dilemma is balancing time cleaning and time with my two small boys!

Ours is how to keep all the dog hair off our hardwood floors!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping up w/ all the dust. We enjoy having our windows open in the summer…but it makes for extra dirt.

TIME! But the hardest area to clean in my house is the windows at the top of the vaulted ceilings. The cobwebs and dust that collect on the windowsill can be seen from our loft, but are extremely hard to reach.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is our super light beige (read nearly white I promise) carpet and how to keep it clean and spot free. I swear if you walk thru with even wet shoes there are spots and cleaning the carpets can only happen so often. Maybe a fancy new vacuum would help spread the time between these deep cleanings though

Floors and how to nicely ask everyone to always take off their shoes so we aren’t constantly vacuuming and sweeping and swiffering

My biggest cleaning dilemma is the amount of dog and cat hair left behind by the animals on the floor and all over the sofa. I really have to look where I sit in the morning so I don’t walk into work with hair all over my pants!

My kitchen floors! The owners of our house redid our kitchen and I got to pick out all the new stuff. I had horrible brown tiles and I wanted to brighten up the kitchen so I picked a white tile. Big mistake – I am doing a quick mop job at least every other day! Sometimes I miss the brown tiles!

Hi,
With five kids, I can probably use FIVE vacuums. It is certainly a dilemma, running behind a 9-month-old, 2 year-old, 5 and 6 year-olds and my 16-year-old. Each contribute to their own pocket of mess and the challenge is going from room to room trying to keep each area clean and trying to vacuum in small spaces where crumbs love to lie! I would say those small spaces are dilemmas for sure, I usually have to take a broom to manuever in those areas.Having a great vacuum like this would make my “mommy cleaning madness” managable!

My dilemna? 3-year-old twins! And, going from hardwood to carpet on THREE floors in an old house. Would love a new machine.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is our dog room. Hair everywhere!!

I think the one biggest thing is TIME to do it all!!

The biggest dilema in our home is our woodfloors and 2 large sets of stairs. With two boys and a black dog who sheds year round we need to clean daily. This would be a fabulous help!

two words, dog-hair!

The biggest cleaning dilemma in the Young household is our front hallway! Our drive has drainage problems, so whenever it rains, our entire driveway is covered with rain, leaves, etc… and our poor doormat gets waterlogged as well! So the entranceway just seems to stay dirty even when I clean it frequently! It is difficult to get all the little bits and pieces off the floor but this vacuum looks like it would do the trick!!!

It actually is keeping my floors clean! My toddler spends lots of time rolling around with her toys and I don’t think my vacuum does a good job getting things clean. She also won’t let me sweep without running after me to get the broom out of my hand so she can sweep “all by self.”

My biggest dilemma right now is having the motivation and energy. Being 11 weeks pregnant with a 20 mo. old, I don’t feel like I have any left over energy for cleaning! Hopefully that will get better during the 2nd trimester. My biggest problem right now though would have to be the dishes. They’re never-ending!

Well beleive it or not, vacuuming is a huge bone of contention with me. Mine is so heavy that I just can’t do it. So every Sunday morning my husband vacuums the entire house (3 floors, what a guy!). I’m sure he’d appreciate having me do it once and awhile though

Finding the time to get it all done – would much rather be playing with my grand daughter than cleaning house, especially now as the weather is warming up!!

Floors, floors, floors. Honestly, my vacuum swirls around and does not pick up.

I’d love to know what it would be like to just vacuum it right up this Mother’s Day.

just keeping it clean. seems like 5 minutes later it’s dirty again.

Our biggest challenge is not having enough ROOM to put everything! As soon as something is taken out or used it’s cluttered looking. My kids do help out a lot with the vacuuming and dusting though!

By far, I have the hardest time cleaning windows. I can’t access some of the panes, so I try to ignore the spots!

Mine just happens to be my carpets! we have a dog & our old vacuum is just helpless. I dream of a new one every time I have to use it.

Keeping the cat fur in check. Our cat’s fur seems to flutter into every nook and cranny of the house. No matter how much I clean I constantly find little fur balls wafting throughout the house.

Thanks for the opportunity to win!

My biggest dilemma is keeping things clean…I feel like it is an every day struggle. I have 2-year-old twin boys and they are constantly telling me “Mommy I make a mess”! Our vaccum is old and not very powerful so I would absolutely LOVE a new one!

My biggest cleaning problem is trying to keep my floors clean. I mop and vacuum everyday and they still seem so dirty. I think my problem lies in my bag less vacuum. It does not have good suction. I have always wanted a good vacuum because I don’t think I would have to vacuum as much and therefore I would have more time to spend with my kids. Thanks for this great giveaway just in time for Mothers Day!!

My biggest dilemma is PET HAIR! Big issue… babies eating cat hair is gross

I have two little ones under the age of 5. Finding a way to get things clean quickly is a challenge. The biggest challenge is removing dog hair from the carpets & the couches. What a great giveaway!

Time! I never have the time to clean the way I would like to!

My biggest dilemma is finding a way to get my son and husband to help this working mom without asking/begging for help and then I usually have to do it over anyways. Yep my biggest dilemma is living with two messy men and being the only cleaner.

My biggest cleaning problem is keeping on top of everything and still finding time to be a good mommy and wife. My house cleaning tends to be the first thing to slide and my house is always awful.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is fighting the DUST! We live right off of two huge corn fields…and the dust never stops…I hate it! I bet a great vacuum would ease my focus on how much I hate dusting!

OH, we so need a new sweeper and maybe if I got a new one I would sweep more!! My husband probably sweeps more than i do but that okay with me! My biggest challenge is my carpets because we have really light carpet and a dog which makes for spots everywhere! Anyways, I would love to win!

Geneandannie@hotmail.com

getting my 4 kids to pick up their toys/ random clutter they leave around the house…i have to be able to see the floor in order to clean it!

My biggest dilemma as far as house cleaning goes are those mystery stains that appear daily in my carpet!!!!

Wow…this is awesome Amy! My biggest cleaning issue would have to be laundry. I need a bigger laundry room so I don’t have to use the kitchen table to fold clothes up. It seems it is used more for that than it’s intended purpose.

Thanks so much for hosting this!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is having a carpeted dining area with 2 toddlers 16 months apart. Sometimes I feel like throwing a tarp under the table!

toys and crumbs getting stuck way under the couch is my biggest problem at the moment.

My biggest dilemma is keeping it clean! My dog brings it all sorts of things on her fur that end up all over the house!

My dilemna is when I look forward I see the stuff I just cleaned, but when I turn around, I see the stuff my kids just dragged out onto the clean floor behind me. It’s a neverending job!

My entryway… directly into the living, from a dirt driveway surrounded by fields…. never ends… and my chickadees LOVE the mud. Hey, they clean up okay, and boy they’re having fun!

My biggest dilemma is that I let things pile up. Don’t know why I don’t just spend 30 minutes a day and keep everything neat, but I don’t…

My biggest dilemma is finding time ( and motivation) to get it all done!

My wooden blinds in my front room of my loft. These are impossible to clean. Especially the ones covering the windows way up high. (The front room is two-floors tall.

My biggest dilemma is a Phyllis Diller quote: “Trying to clean up with kids is like trying to shovel during a snowstorm.” SO TRUE! With 2 active boys, 2 cats, 1 dog and 1 gecko, my perfectionist tendencies get a run for their money daily!

Finding the time and motivation (probably more the latter!). I’ve gone through so many different vacuums, mostly cheap ones, that I know I need to upgrade in quality. This is probably due to the fact I have long hair and two long haired cats.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping my floors clean. My dog tracks in dirt, grass and leaves constantly.

Multch (I hoped I spelled that right) that the dog drags in from the flower beds, is my biggest problem. I have to sweep everyday sometimes even twice.

Where to begin?! Our carpets are white so this would be a huge help- keeping them clean is a daily battle.

My biggest cleaning dilemma involves living with two little boys and a “hoarder” husband. Seriously, the man has newspaper clippings from his Little League days……..I love you honey, but you are 44……time to throw those out……..

My cleaning dilemma is the simple fact I live in a small home with 2 boys and 2 animals – ugh! I am always cleaning and I have to use so many tools to clean my house with. There isn’t enough time in my day to work full time, raise two boys, take care of the animals and clean my house (and take care of the yard/gardens)!

I struggle with cleaning my area rugs thoroughly. Happy Mother’s Day.

My biggest dilemma is PET HAIR! Ahhh, I hate it! It’s all over my house no matter how much I vaccuum…

I am a Mother of three and Grandmother of two toddler girls. My two college aged chidren still live at home, and nightly the grandkids are ruling the roost! The weekends are spent watching the kids as their parents work, and although I am at home…cleaning is not the top priority. My biggest cleaning dilemma is having the time and energy to clean, but quickness and immediate results are needed. With my current vacuum, the sweeping and suction are not picking up the crumbs, dog hair, even pacifiers (LOL)…..better, faster….leaves more time to play! Thanks for this oportunity!

Well, we have hardwood all over with some rugs, so I feel like as soon as I’ve swept, they’re dirty again. I try to sweep, swiffer, vacuum, and swiffer mop, but I’m never sure how clean my floors are! I guess my carpet in our apartment was dirty, too, but I didn’t notice as much! =)

My 2 1/2-year old son is my biggest cleaning dilemma. It seems that there are always crumbs and messes to clean up or drips from his sippy cup. I’ve said many times in these past few years, “I can’t have anything nice.”

My big cleaning dilemma is keeping our floor clean. We’re not very good about enforcing a no-shoes policy, but we should. Plus, there are ALWAYS legos and Bionicles on our floor. And my five-year old is the messiest eater I know. I vacuum or sweep, turn around, turn back, and the floor is covered in dirt again.

Finding time to do it! Really, our kitchen floor is disgusting between food thrown from the highchair (then stepped on!) and my husband dropping things and forgetting to clean them up. I think I could clean it every day and it would still be gross.

Keeping the kitchen floor clean. White pergo – ugh!!!!

hmmmm…biggest cleaning problem, kids and husband! Seriously though, just keep a schedule so I don’t feel overwhelmed with too many tasks.

My biggest problem is having two little ones who run through the house leaving paths of dirt, clutter and grime everywhere they go. It seems like I am constantly picking up after them.

Well, since my wife does most of the cleaning, I don’t have a cleaning problem, but I know she detests vacuuming since I get that chore, so a new vacuum might actually get me off the hook!

My Floor! I must have the world’s messiest children and I find that I sweep several times a day and it always needs a wash!

My carpet always needs vaccuming and we could actually USE a new one…or a new used one if anyone wants to ship us one

Our current one is OLD. It was my husbands mothers and she gave it to him long before I came into the picture. He must have had it about 10 years and I don’t know how long she used it before she gave it to him. Impressive that it has lasted this long don’t you think?

Thanks for entering me!

cat hair, dog hair, the dust and mud that the dogs roll in and then bring in and redeposit on the rugs, oh and the children too!!, two sets of carpeted stairs, wood floors, carpet, tile floor, linoleum, and a throw rug — lol, and i have to avoid all the legos to boot!

My biggest dilemma is having a pet that is inside, but wants to be outside wallowing in the mud all the time. I can’t keep the floors clean. Oh, and I’ve recently decided that I don’t want any white bathroom fixtures any more. Sinks, tubs, toilets, white fiberglass shower insert, it never looks clean!

Our problem is making the toys look nice and decluttered.

My biggest dilemma is finding time to keep up with all of the dust. I have a high efficiency furnace on the house I just bought and the filters cost $120. I should only have to replace them once a year, but I have to do it twice because the house gets so dusty so quickly. It’s very frustrating.

I hate cleaning jobs that re-create themselves before you even get through with them (ie: dishes, laundry) and it feels like you are never done!

The tumbleweeds of cat hair that float down my front hallway. And I swear they appear 5 minutes after I clean!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is having a 3 yr old & 6 month old, I never have any time to clean. I need a new vacuum really badly though, and like you I HATE the bagless ones, and that is what I currently have.

My delema? Wanting to clean instead of reading, going for a walk, working on the garden, chatting with a friend, etc!

I live in the sandhills, so sand is a constant problem. I am always having to sweep and vacuum. Thanks!

We ranch so the mess that I clean up daily is dirt/mud/manure from the animals outside that we track inside!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping the stairs down to our kitchen clean. They are the most traveled stairs in the house, and between my husband and two little boys, the carpet on these stairs is always dirty!

Let’s see…three animals and one grandchild… I would say the most difficult areas in my house to keep clean are the floors.

This is such a wonderful gift. My biggest dilemma is vacuuming pet hair. Our 10 year old chocolate labrador is having a hard time adjusting to the climate after moving from Illinois to Georgia: he is shedding all year long. My current vacuum has an air output right in front of it, so I see the pet hair flying in the air instead of being vacuumed.:(
It drives me nuts!

Well, my biggest cleaning challenge is the stairs. My current vacuum which is OLD, is so hard to lug around to be able to do the stairs so there is always a lot of hair and dirt built up along the creases of the stairs! I would SO love a new vacuum. I think it would make the most perfect Mom’s day gift ever!

Finding the time and energy, between watching my 1 yo gd and caring for 3 seniors and homeschooling, routine goes out the window and survival takes over. Just get done what you can in one day and go on to the next, trust me it will still be there. I just need help with getting the day I am in done.

My biggest dilemma is all the piles of paper/coupons not yet sorted and small toys/pieces of toys. Once I pick them up, it seems twice as many reappear in their place.

Thanks!

I think my biggest cleaning dilemma is TEENAGERS! Having everyone pick up is must-do! Dusting and pet hair are a close second.

~christyb

I can’t keep my stairs clean! I have a couple of dogs and wood stairs where they LOVE to lay all day! I can’t keep the hair off of them!

Dog hair! Ugh! I can’t keep up with it.

My biggest issue by far is dust. No matter how much I vacuum or dust, there’s a light layer everywhere a few days later.

My biggest cleaning challenge is keeping the floor clean! With a 4 year old, a large dog and a husband always tracking in dirt and grass and all the things boys and dogs get into, it seems like I vacuum at least once a day, if not more!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

My dilemma is having a vacuum that keeps working. Its seems I can “kill” one in about 9 months.

I don’t think I can narrow it down. Close your eyes and point to something in our house…it needs cleaning!

My biggest cleaning dilema is the dog hair on my carpet! So a new vacuum would be great

Our biggest challenge is a family of 10 and a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t work very well. Thanks for the giveaway!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is shampooing the carpet. I hate stepping on wet carpet.

Papers! Piles of papers! I’m getting better at getting rid of them, but it’s still challenging.

My biggest dilemma is the pupster. He leaves his little red and black hair everywhere along with dirt prints…but I love him…oh, well.

My biggest dilemma is my tile. I have a small space, but I can’t seem to keep the tile clean. I’m thinking of getting a tile steam mop…

Baseboards are the bane of my existence.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is WHEN to vacuum. The easiest time for household tasks is when the preschooler naps, but my current vacuum usually wakes him up.

When he and the baby are awake, it’s almost impossible to get the floors to stay picked up long enough to clean them.

RENOVATING! Why clean when it’s just going to get RUINED? Ugh. My current vaccum just laughs at the thought of sucking up drywall dust… or maybe coughs is the right word!

my biggest dilemma is my young children. I clean up after them nightly and I am so worn out using my canister vacuum. My carpet was terribly cheap and not cut on grain (it was installed in our used home prior to purchase) and it is white and so it is terribly nasty.

I cannot keep the tiles or hardwood looking good for long. One of the kids will spill somethng and not tell me or I’ll walk over the stains for a wekk and not notice!

Triplet=Huge Mess!

I sooooo need a new vacuum cleaner, sign me up.

My biggest dilemma is getting it all done. I seem to start one thing and find another that I want to finish more. The laundry never ends, nor do the dishes. As I finish one I’ve got to start the next. Seems I never get to the big spring cleaning projects.

Dearest Hoover,

Big Cleaning Dilema you ask? I want my surfaces clean. I want a spot for everything so that my counters are clean and free of clutter. Really, it’s just keeping up with the daily things that happen at the kitchen island. It’s the epi-center of the house. The things I can gather from the counter in any given day, like today perhaps: One pair of tennis shoes, two days of newspapers, one plant, one back-pack, one lunch bag, one portable phone, one set of car keys and some Neosporin. And truthfully, it looks fairly clean, but enough to make the mom wack-out! I am done. Thanks for listening.

My biggest dilema is that i have two boxers that shed alot and a hand me down vaccum that just doesn’t pick up the hair anymore. With someone who cant afford a new vaccum this is a struggling problem.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is my puppy! I love him dearly, but he sure can make a mess!

My biggest cleaning dilema? The crazy vacuum that I have now shoots everything back out when I am using the hose. It is so frustrating, I end up having to vacuum like three times, EVERY TIME.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is definitely keeping my carpets cleaned. We are renting, & this house has carpet in the dining room! Not a good thing with 2 children under 4. Plus, my existing vacuum is not working so well & my youngest started crawling yesterday. I needed this vacuum 3 months ago!!

My biggest cleaning dilemna? STUFF that keeps multiplying in my house! It seems like I put something away only to find another something popping up in the same exact place. It’s typically kids toys, clothes, etc. but my husband is known for this too!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping my kitchen floor clean. It is old vinyl and needs to cleaned with me on my hands and knees at least 3 times a week. This isn’t easy when I am due in 10 weeks!

The biggest cleaning dilemma with our house is the laundry room. It has become the catch-all for anything that doesn’t have a designated home. It is the unofficial junk room.

Dog hair, dog hair, dog hair.

Biggest dilemma is having consistency in doing chores. I usually let the week go by and then end up doing them all at once! Then the process repeats, since I’m so sick of cleaning….uggh.

The entryway to our home. That’s where everything gets tracked into the house!

My biggest cleaning dilemma in my house is trying to keep it clean after 4 boys and 1 husband are done with it! It is never ending around here.

My biggest dilemma is the nineteen month-old tornado that follows me around, sloshing juice everywhere and slinging mega blocks into every crevice. He’s worth it, but any and every cleaning tool helps!

Cleaning dilemma?? Dog hair by far … however right now it’s the mud said pooch has brought in from outside. He’s too cute to for me to stay aggravated for long … but his border collie fur is EVERYWHERE! It’s ruff!

My biggest dilemma is getting everything done with a busy toddler on my heels, messing up as fast as I can clean up!LOL! The story of our lives, huh?

My biggest cleaning issue is cleaning up crumbs and cat hair. I would love to get a new vacuum to help out with that. Thanks for the great give away:)

The kitchen counter! It’s a dumping ground for the kids books, school papers, mail, coupons, etc. I still am trying to figure out how to make a home for everything so it doesn’t end up in piles all over the kitchen.

Hmmm, well, I have two dogs, a two-year old and a baby on the way, so I have constant messes. Everywhere. I also have allergies so getting up dust and dander is important! Would love this vacuum!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is dealing with all of the clutter that accumulates on any surface area of my house. I don’t mind cleaning, I just mind the extra time it takes to get to the surfaces in need of cleaning. With a 6 yr. old, a self-employed hubby and my work & hobbies, we bring too much into our house and I need a system to get it put away before it becomes a mess!

Dog hair is the bain of my existence. It’s everywhere and makes the floors look dirty right after I sweep!

My cleaning dilemma is balancing my need to have everything put away in its place (I want my house to look like the pages of pottern barn) and letting my kids play with their toys (which ususally involves dumping them ALL out and then moving on to the next one).

The biggest problem I find is just keeping up with the day in and day out never ending chores. I have a 21 month old and 3 month old and babysit a 14 month old every other day and they require a lot of attention and energy. By the time they take naps (assuming they all go down at the same time) I’m just in need of a bathroom break, a bite to eat, or just a minute to breath. Not to mention no matter how clean I think I have things they always seem to be able to find something I didn’t even realize was there.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is just keeping up with all the cleaning. I just had a baby a few months ago, so not only do I have to entertain her, I have to try to keep my house looking nice! Finally when I think I get a moment, something pops up and keeps me from cleaning! Vacuuming the stairs is tough and keeping up on the dirty dishes (it’s so hard!)

Our biggest cleaning dilemma is the furbaby! We can never seem to keep up with her and all the fur she is constantly losing. I might be in the minority as well since I would love to own this as a new toy!

PET HAIR!!!! I live in Alaska and my Newfoundland is blowing his winter coat everywhere! The vacuum just died from the 3x a day use. Third one this year! Please please pick me!!!

Biggest dilemma: long haired black cat fur and two little boys that like to shred newspaper and magazines all over the basement floor. And oh yeah, vacuuming the stairs!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is just dealing with the clutter. I feel like that’s all I do is trying to FIND a place for THINGS or putting them back in their place. It’s never-ending and I just need to spend an entire weekend getting rid of stuff, but it hasn’t happened yet!

My biggest cleaning challenge is our living room carpet. It’s a dark forest green with a really tight, short pile. Our vacuum cleaner has trouble getting the cat hair off of it. My husband had the house (and the carpet) before we got married and I really don’t like that carpet. Due to the lay out and size of our house the living room is the main play room for our 4 yr old son, so you can just imagine what my carpet looks like. Of course, these days we can’t afford to replace the vacuum or the carpet.
Thank you for your great website.

My biggest cleaning dilema is keeping up with cleaning my cat’s hair off the carpet, the stairs, and my wood floors. I seem to be the only one wo notices this mess in my house. My husband and kids are oblivious to it. And also the clean dishes in the dishwasher!

I just cannot keep up with everything!

My cleaning issues involve keeping up with the messes my active family makes: one husband, two cats, and three kids!

My biggest dilema is not having a vacuum cleaner at all and having to sweep my carpet. Does anyone know what that’s like? Having 2 kids & a husband to clean behind. I really need
one.

My biggest cleaning dilemna is trying to get rid of all the dust after having construction done inside the house. It seems the concrete and drywall dust is everywhere, I can smell it, see it, and no matter how many times I vacuum and dust it reappears. I am sure it is in my ventilation system but I don’t have any money to have that sucked out. I’m going to start vacuuming and wiping down walls this weekend…sigh.

My biggest dilemma is keeping the house clean with 4 pets. Ugh! Hair everywher, litter boxes. It’s never ending!

The ceiling fans! We are currently renting and the one in the kitchen doesn’t look like it has been cleaned since the house was built in 1989. Our living room is 2 stories, so reaching that one, includes getting the big ladder out. Also disgustingly dirty.
Other dilema? The floors. Previous tenants had dogs and every time it is warm out or the heat is on in the winter, the whole house smells and we just can’t get all the dog hair out of the carpet!

We’re overwhelmed with clutter.

My boys are athletes……..the floors at my house suffer from all the dirt & grime they bring in! HELP!

My biggest dilema is “did my vaccum actually pick the dirt up?” My current Hoover needs to be replaced.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping things as allergen-free as possible to help my daughter and husband’s allergies. There’s just no end to the dusting, vacuuming, etc., but I’m sure a great new vacuum would help my cause!

Getting pet hair up is my biggest dilemma, this would be a great addition to my household.

I love having a good vacuum. It makes cleaning so much easier. The hardest part about keeping our house clean is that as soon as I pick one thing up someone comes after me and leaves behind two things

My biggest challenge is finding a consistent and easy way to keep the dog hair off the floors . . . its a constant battle.

My biggest problem having an active 2-year old and no desire to clean.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is once I get one room clean and move onto the next, the first room looks like I didn’t do anything. Having a 7yr, 5yr and 4yr boys they wreak havoc faster then blinking an eye.

I enjoy vacuuming, but always have issues getting right under the couch where you can see the dust but can’t reach it!

My biggest dilema is pet hair. We have 2 dogs & 2 cats. It doesn’t seem to matter if I sweep everyday, the hair still piles up.

My biggest cleaning problem would be trying to clean up the dog hair on my carpets and furniture from my little puppy!

Finding time to clean period and then keeping it clean…seems 5 minutes after I clean there is another mess….

Well my whole house is a dilema for me at this present time since I’m temoprary disable with veritigo(my world is spinning)since March and teenager has to help out alot more she broken our vaccum cleaner.It would be wonderful to win a new vac. Thank You!

My biggest problem is finding the time to do a good cleaning.

2 words…pet hair.

I was going to say dog hair, but there is also a cat who contributes. It is almost impossible to keep the hair up and now, out of the baby’s mouth!

Would love to give this a shot!
Heather

My biggest cleaning dilemma is much like other mothers …. CHILDREN! But that’s part of the job, right;). I’m constantly wondering how my mother did it. But I guess it’s the daily grind of teaching them to clean up after themselves and keeping at it myself.

My vacuum cleaner is broken!!! and we have a 9 month old who is getting ready to crawl around…Please help!!!

My biggest problem is living with a boy who doesn’t think it is necessary to clean up spilled food items in the kitchen, leaving them to fester for a few days. After two months of marriage, I’m still working on getting him to clean up little spills throughout the house . . . or at least let me know before a week has passed and mold has grown.

Trying to balance having a clean home and spending quality time with my child!

biggest cleaning dilema in my house is two kids ages 2 and 3 and a dog, i am always picking up and cleaning up!

my biggest cleaning problem is I dont know where to put everything.

The biggest dilemma…having time to clean the house while also spending time with my two small children. I am always putting away the same toys hour after hour. I want my floor vacuumed often since my daughter puts every little thing she finds in her mouth.

removing allergens from my home

Cleaning furniture & in corners.

My cleaning dilemma is me being the ONLY female in my house! I have a husband, two young boys, and a male puppy!

The kitchen & the laundry – jobs that never seem to get done because once you finish them… you have to eat or clothe yourself again. Sometimes it takes me a week or two to tackle the laundry and then I forget how quickly it stacks up and… boom… there it is again. And the kitchen – UGH! By the time I finish cooking dinner the last thing I want to do is the dishes! So, they sit. Blech.

Thanks for the contest! Love these!!

our floors! We need to replace them… very old wood with sections missing, you can see the concrete slab! UGH! It’s so hard to keep clean with all the scratches and crevices!

Biggest cleaning dilemma: lack of time to get it all done! Or no, it’s having four little people so that things never stay clean for long. sdyjak(at)gmail(dot)com

My biggest problem is the cat fur everywhere!!! I have to constantly sweep the floors… In addition is the food my son and the toddler I babysit toss everywhere.

Wow.. as a working Mom of 4 I have a few cleaning dilemas! I think laundry is the hardest for me to keep up with. I get them in the washer and dried, but folding, hanging and getting the kids to put them away is a constant battle. Our floors are also a real challenge, but I wouldn’t trade the chaos of a housefull of kids for anything

I have two boys — 8yo and 11yo. ‘Nuf said. Other than keeping up with their messes, my biggest cleaning dilemna is windows. I’m petite, so cleaning the outside windows is just terrible, especially in the front where we have bushes under the windows, making using a ladder more difficult. I’ve tried using that spray stuff you attach to a garden hose to spray down your windows. Can you say streaks? Yuck!

My biggest cleaning challenge is pet hair! It seems the minute I sweep, I see more swirling around and hiding in corners. I can’t get rid of it.

My dilemma is cleaning pet hair from behind the sofa ect. on board tool would be so nice

Where to start?

Keeping ahead of the clutter seems impossible much of the time but as far as actual cleaning? I’d have to say dust is my nemesis.

My hardwood floors, pictures, stairs(!) and furniture all look dusty within minutes of being cleaned. I’m really not kidding!

What a nice giveaway! My biggest cleaning challenge is cleaning our tiled shower. I don’t like to use harsh cleaners and let’s be honest, I don’t clean it nearly often enough so when I do, it is pretty bad.

My biggest dilemna is keeping the wood floors in the kitchen clean. . oh how nice they look clean but as soon as I clean them they tend to get dirty again right away. OH how I need a new & better vacuum too. . .thanks Amy!

Two dogs…two boys…need I say more. I actually enjoy cleaning it renews the spirit I just wish once in a while it would stay clean for longer than 10 minutes……

My biggest problem is trying to clean up the dog hair all over the house. It is hard for me to vacuum everyday with major back problems.

Dusting. In Colorado the dust is crazy! One minute you’re dusting and the next, there’s that old familiar layer over everything and your right back where you started.
Plus my mom has been struggling to make payments on her new dream house but will not give up. I honor her so much for this and a vacuum is just that last thing she can’t quite afford each month. It would be amazing to be able to surprise her with a new one.

This is so exciting. I am eager to see this thing in action. I am strapped for time and am always looking for something easy to save me time and energy

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping my kitchen floor clean, between the baby, the dog and my husband, the floor just always looks dirty.

My cleaning dilema is keeping the dirt from outside where it belongs. I have a gravel driveway and many children. My house gets dust and dirt every day.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is 1) picking up the toys and actually cleaning before the kids can rip them all out again and 2) my crappy vaccuum that no longer really picks up and is deafening due to the rebuilt motor in it.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is daily cleaning up cat hair from the carpet and furniture and sweeping up all the little pieces of cat litter that fall off my kitty’s paws. His litter is in the laundry room and so there is always kitty gravel on the kitchen floor after he has visited his litter box. This is a daily chore. Thanks to you and to Hoover for the opportunity to win a new vacuum!

My biggest cleaning dilemna is the mail. I throw away the junk junk mail, but then there is the semi-important mail that I don’t want to throw away because I feel the need to save it for awhile. It all piles up and I have piles all over my house!

my big cleaning dilema is that I do not have a vaccuum! I would love to have a vaccuum for my home with 8 indoor doggies and 3 teen kids. I live on a ranch and the mud is every where! My other big dilema if I won the vaccuum would be, how to get the doggies to use the vaccuum! Paula

My biggest dilema, hands down is the laundry. I have two children, two jobs, and take two classes every semester. The laundry ALWAYS seems to get piled up on me, in a matter of a few days. Once I think I have a handle on it, there it is again, and my 12 year old seems to think that she NEVER has anything to wear. Imagine that. But a new vacuum would most definitely help me to get that over with quick and move on to the laundry. Thanks for entering me!

Our biggest dilemma laundry! I can never keep up. The kitchen is also a big nusiance. It is the center dumping ground for everything that comes in the door.

My biggest cleaning challenge right now is laundry. I’ve got 3 little ones and all of them and my dh feel its ok to throw the dirty clothes whereever. I so need a system for that.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is our cat. We have a big rug in our living room & her fur just gets trapped in it.

forgot to leave my email address. my post is above by Paula.

We live on a farm…so my biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping all of the farm “dirt” outside where it belongs…and not in my house!!

My biggest dilemma is keeping the toys and clutter under control.

The Clutter. I cant seem to get rid of the useless Clutter. I think I may just get rid of any and ALL elevated surfaces in my home!!!! LOL

biggest dilemma is the sheer amount of dog hair around the house.

so hard to pick just one… Well, I guess it would be just getting motivated to clean, because it all seems “undone” so very quickly! I’d love a new vaccuum, because I find myself Dustbusting the whole house after just intending to clean up one tiny mess

My biggest cleaning dilemma is in making it routine. I have a hard time knowing where to start and it all seems overwhelming. I know I need a system for myself, but I just don’t stick to it.

OH how I long for a wonderful vacuum that actually works! My biggest dilemma is the FLOORS!! They always have something on them, even just after you vacuum! My bedrooms have carpet and the other rooms have either tile or hardwood, I love to walk barefoot but I cant in this house because of the sand. Its still there even after I vacuum. I am currently using a huge shop vacuum because it works better than the very expensive one that I bought a few years back! My problem I guess is that I am a bit OCD when it comes to a clean house and with a full time job and a 3 month old it is having to take the back seat…a new vacuum that works would take less time and allow me more time with my babe!

Tooo many to count,let’s just say – I need help!I have 4 children and two of them have ADHD and one is Autistic! my house is always a mess!just can not seem to keep up no matter what i do! I have RA and some other health issues, but I try my best! I would love a vacumb that actually did what it said it would!
Thank you,
Monica Pena

My biggest cleaning dilemma right now is finding a good time to clean. My baby takes up all my time during the day, and at night I’m too tired or don’t want to risk waking her… So I’m trying to figure out a new schedule and I need to implement it soon! A new vacuum cleaner would be great, too.

My biggest cleaning problem is trying to keep up with the dog hair.I have 5 dogs and I’m always using the vaccum, which doesn’t pick up all the hair.

My biggest issues is getting the cat hair up and also doing the stairs. I hate having to drag the vacuum upstairs for the other rooms. I just want something that works really well. I thought my vacuum I have would do a good job, but it is useless.

My biggest cleaning delima is keeping the laundry room spic and span -

Biggest dilema? Toddlers! I have two boys who get dirt and crumbs everywhere! Gotta love ‘em!
Would love to win this! Thanks for the opportunity, Jessica

My biggest cleaning dilemma is how do I stay off the computer long enough to get ANY cleaning done? LOL

My biggest problem is my animals. I love them but I hate their hair.

My current vac just doesnt pick it all up

thanks for the offer

My biggest cleaning problem is dog hair

Stairs, stairs, stairs! Enough said? Plus my downstairs vac just died on me- I need a lightweigt one to take it’s place!

Cleaning up after twins, a dog, and a husband (and finding the time to)! Isn’t that enough! But there’s more: having to use my super heavy vacuum on my stairs and hardwoods.

Without a doubt my biggest challenge is DOG HAIR, DOG HAIR AND MORE DOG HAIR!! Thanks for the chance to win!

My biggest cleaning dilemma in my house is me not cleaning it! I’d rather play with the kids and go on adventures with them. Actually, the worst problem I have is animal fur everywhere! Dog and cat hair grows faster on the floor than it does on the pets.

Clutter, clutter, clutter. We have five children and they have tons of stuff. And they are never organized. It doesn’t help that we live in a small house. If they would keep their things put away, my house would be much cleaner. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

My biggest dilema is that my vacuum leaves more stuff on/in the carpet than it picks up! Very irritating!

I have a touch of arthritis in my hands and wrists and it’s difficult to use my 20+ year old vacuum because it’s soooo heavy. Most of the time I need to have my dear husband vacuum for me. I would love to get a lighter weight vacuum so I can do my own vacuuming since he’s sooo busy.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is anything to do with my cats. They leave fur EVERYWHERE, and they make a mess in their litterboxes. Even my two-year-old isn’t as much of a mess as they are!

it’s mostly pet hair and dust.

I have to vacuum the carpet AND sweep and mop the kitchen floor at the same time. Otherwise, dirt gets tracked from one of these surfaces to the other as soon as I’m done.

My biggest dilemna is vacuuming after my husband who is in a wheelchair and tracking things through the house from outside!!!

I have 2 kids under 3, so I clean the whole house and 10 minutes later it needs to be cleaned again! I can’t seem to keep things clean!

The cleaning dilemma that we have at out house is the fact that we have 3 boys, ages 7, 4 and 1. No matter how much we clean, the house stays in a constant state of disarray!!!! We like to call it “controlled chaos.”

i have trouble getting rid of dust that blows in through my windows…..but i love having all the windows open….its a hard compromise.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is trying to keep my floors cleaned with a hubbie and two older kids tracking in all the time. My four month old needs a clean floor so he can learn to crawl with the most minimal risk of getting sick. I just spent a couple hours yesterday cleaning all my 3100 square feet of floors to have my hubbie track in dirt all over!! His response was, “I did notice they looked very nice but I figured since my mom just arrived for a four-week visit, the dirty floors would give her something to do!!”

My biggest dillema is vaccuming under the bed and behind the furniture.

our biggest cleaning dilemma is doing the dishes!! no one wants to!

My biggest dillema is that I don’t have enough time in the day to get my cleaning done.

A 2 1/2 year old boy – HA! Thanks for the chance.

my biggest challenge is keeping up with my 5 little ones. They seem to make messes faster than I can clean them.

It’s a little disconcerting…I clean, leave the room, come back, and it’s as if I never cleaned. Is it just me or does a clean house attract mess? My dilemma is that I haven’t figured out a way to make the cleaning stick.

Hmm…it would be a great Mother’s Day gift! But ya gotta admit – it would be an even better gift if it came with a promise that my husband would do all the vacuuming!

The mess beneath the kids table is unbelievable -a after every meal & snack.

Pet hair is my biggest enemy! I would love a vacuum that works better than my current one.

My biggest dilemma is having the whole house clean at once! I get everything cleaned, but never at the same time, so it doesn’t feel clean.

My roommate and I do not own a vacuum cleaner so we have roving dust bunnies in our apartment. Sweeping hurts my back so I just pick them up and throw them away when I see them.

Keeping the house clean with our big dog! He doesn’t shed too much, but just enough that I feel like even right after I clean, there is pet fur everywhere. Ugh.

We have been using a Rainbow vaccuum cleaner for the last 11 years. It works great, but I am tired of dragging the cannister behind me! It always catches on the door frames or furniture. Vaccuuming takes longer and is very frustrating!

Two long-haired dogs and laminate tile floors that are a challenge. Love them but a rainy day and running in mud is not easy to deal with.

Biggest dilemma, to vaccum up the dog along with all the hair and baby crackers or not! PLEASE let me be that random pick!!

Finding time to clean and how to keep it clean with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 1 husband.

I asked for a steam cleaner for Christmas one year and thought it was the best gift ever. My regular vacuum is twelve years old and barely holding together. I would love a new vacuum!

cleaning up dog hair!

I would love the chance to win this vaccuum. My biggest cleaning dilemma…I can’t keep my floors clean. With so many people coming in and out of the house I am always finding dirt, crumbles, leaves and dog hair on either the carpet, stairs or hardware floors. I just can’t keep up with it!

My biggest clean dilemma? Keeping my carpet clean with a dog, cat and two kids.

I need a new vacuum!!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is that I have saltillo tile in my house and where I have area rugs, I have trouble vaccuuming because of the “hills and valleys” of the saltillo tile underneath. Any advice?

Our biggest challenge is having everyone pitch in! I would love the vaccuum. It looks awesome!

Biggest dilemna…crumbs under the table and tan cat hair on the tan couch

Trying to keep all of our floors clear of little things that our 9 mos. old can’t put in his mouth!!! With 3 others, it’s SO HARD!

my biggest problem with cleaning is keeping up with all the kids!! We have 8 kids still living at home (11 total but 3 have flown the nest). Seems like I no sooner get one area cleaned and move on to the next and then the irst needs cleaned again, LOL.
Thanks a bunch for the wealth of info here
God Bless!

My biggest dilemma is that with two six year olds, a three year old, and a two year old, once I clean it, it’s messy again in fifteen minutes.

with pets and allergies, clean floors are a must

Keeping carpet clean is always a challenge with two boys!

My biggest dilemma when it comes to cleaning the house is getting up the dog hair and our current vaccum smells, so the house stinks worse after cleaning. very stinky.

picking all the dog hair up–it magically escapes the vacuum!

Floating dog hair and pet dander that i can never catch!

Trying to vacuum the pet hair that accumulates under the dining table…I can never get it all!

My problems are multiple floorings throughout my home. I have an oriental rug in the living room over hardwood floors. Our addition has painted concrete floors with bare hardwood throughout the rest of the house. Switching from one type of flooring to another while vacuuming, along with dog hair and a husband who after 25 years has still not learned to clean his feet before he comes in makes for a mess.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is clutter. We have so much stuff, I don’t know where it all comes from. Time to throw away!

My biggest cleaning delimea is my kids. They refuse to use the garbage can and I am always vaccuming stuff up!

My biggest dilemma would definitely be my floors — from carpeting to linolium — between my chocolate lab who sheds like crazy and my busy little boys — the floors just never seem clean!

My ADORABLE 10 month old who is getting into everything and also has reflux, so while he is getting into everything he is spitting up everywhere. I love my carpet shampooer but my vacuum is ancient.

Pet hair, I have 4 cats ( and a husband, but we won’t go there). A vacuum cleaner in every room would be great. I professionally cleaned houses for 25 years and it would be a joy not to have to drag vacuums from room to room! Random picker, pick me please!

My biggest cleaning dilemma(s) would have to be pet hair and ceiling fans. UGH!

Right now I’m 8.5mos preggo and have 3 kids 5, 3 & 1 that track sand and dirt (from the sandbox) throughout the house. We also have a puppy that likes to help track crud inside as well…I’m really excited at the chance to win this! What an amazing give-away, Thanks!

My biggest dilemma at the moment is having to carry a 20 lb. cranky, teething 7 mo. old as I clean, while a 2 1/2 yr. old tazmanian devil flies around destroying everything in her path.

My biggest cleaning challenge is getting the family to want to pitch in. :):)

Our biggest cleaning dilemna is my 16 month old who seems to get food and everything all over everything! It doesn’t help that our kitchen and living room are one giant room.

It would be that I am a paper person and if it’s not where I can see it I forget about it. The clutter of papers gets overwhelming and needs to be cleaned up.

A pekingese with long hair. Who loves to leave puppy tufts (puppy hair) all over the place. With mauve carpet it shows all the time. The current vaccuum is on it’s last leg and am looking for a new one.

greetings!
my biggest dilema is dog hair!! it seems like when i finally get it up it just multiplies!! so it would be nice to have a vac that can take care of that for me!! thanks for the chance to win!!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is DUST. It’s everywhere. I always seem to be chasing it down

Hmmmm… where to begin! Number one is probably time to do it when my youngest isn’t under my feet! I love this giveaway, though, because we have a bonus room above the garage and it is a pain to lug the vacuum up there!!

My biggest dilemma is keeping all the cat hair off the furniture. We’ve tried to keep the cats off of it but somehow there is always a spot in the mornings where they have laid!

My biggest dilemma, is my daughter like to go outside and play in the dirt, dig, and play with the dog they both dig in the dirt, and afterwards when we get in inside of the house, when I am going to vacuum is so much dirt, hair, that sometimes i have to vacuum twice, probably because my vacuum cleaner i bought it over a year ago, and is not cleaning like it suposed to.

My worst cleaning dilemma had to be my animals! With 2 dogs & 2 parrots, I am constantly cleaning up dog hair & feathers!!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is the grout on our kitchen tile ~ I am constantly cleaning it and can still never get it to look how I want!

My problem is pet hair from 3 cats and a dog..and the added dirt from them and two teenage kids.
It’s a wonder my other vaccum hasn’t just given up..since it has a problem picking up the hair.

Keeping our hardwood floors clear of dust and keeping our light colored carpet clean.

My biggest problem is my kids messing up everything I clean!!

My biggest dilemma is the kids age 1 and 2 and dog. the kids get crumbs everywhere and the dog hair is crazy so I wear out a vaccuum much faster than normal!

My biggest dilemma is that my vaccum is so heavy that I hate to vacuum because it takes so long. I’m looking to buy a light vacuum so that my 2 kids can help vacuum their rooms.

My biggest dilema — I love to organize and pick things up, but I hate to actually clean! Floors are the worst, sweeping and mopping, ugh! It seems it needs to be done every day or two.

My biggest dilemma is keeping the hard wood floors and tiled floors clean! I can sweep, vacuum along the mop boards, and mop and in a few hours, it looks like I need to do it again! Plus it tracks all over the carpeted areas. I need a really good vacuum to suck up the deep dirt! I’d love to win!

My biggest cleaning dilemma? Keeping a good vacuum cleaner working with 3 females with long hair! We are currently on our 3rd vacuum in less than a year. Past vacuums have included an OreckXL, Dirt Devil, Hoover Upright (OLD style), Hoover Duros, among others. My OreckXL needs about $100-$150 in repairs!! A new vacuum for Mother’s Day would be a true blessing!!!

I hate cleaning down inside window and door sils. It’s hard to get the nooks and crannies!

I hate cleaning floors! With a 2 year old, 3 week old and a cat, the floors never seemed to be clean even when I’ve just vacuumed them. Plus I hate pulling out our heavy vacuum and hurting my back to get it done.

I have one word for you CATS!

my biggest dilemmas are vacuuming the stairs and carrying our big vacuum up and down the stairs now that i am pregnant.

Biggest dilemma-The handle of my vaccum broke off. It is being held together with duct tape! We have horrible allergies and we could use an amazing vaccum. Thank you for this oppurtunity!

For me it is dishes and the kitchen. For some reason I can not keep up no matter what system we try.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is cleaning up after my 11 month old son. I just vacuum everything and then you have to do it again. Between the Cheerios, graham cracker crumbs, dirt, and other miscellaneous food it is quite a challenge. Plus, the vacuum I currently have spits the dirt everywhere so you have to do it twice to get it clean.

Our biggest dilema is actually getting a floor swept with a dog who chases the vaccuum and literally lifts it off the floor!

An 18 year old Labrador, an 8 year old daughter and a 19 year old son, oh did I mention my 40 year old husband. Need I say more!! haha

all the amazing things my family seems to manage to hide in the couch. That and the rug is on different levels and it’s hard to vaccum the spaces

My biggest problem with keeping my home clean and orderly is finding the space to put eveything in order. Our recently divorced daughter and her two preschoolers have moved in with us and it it a tight squeeze to accommodate all of their things. We’ve all worked together to the best of our ability and made arrangements for my daughter to have the dining room as her bedroom (no closet) while her two little ones now occupy what used to be our office and the guest room. My husband and I have shifted things around, reorganized, moved furniture out, established our office in the hot garage, loaned, stored, and donated things, and even bought s small storage unit for our backyard. Still, we find our selves in a constant transition of decluttering and figuring out a better way to do things.
However, we are so very glad to have our daughter and her children living with us. It is a joy to watch the children grow and change day by day, and it is very satisfying to know that we can offer them the security and stability that they need at this time. We would not trade the experience for the world!

I currently have a Hoover Windtunnel, it is a few years old and I am in need of vac.

Thanks

WOW A TON OF COMMENTS! My biggest cleaning issue: My kids seem to drop half of their dinner on the floor while eating. In fact they drop half of everything on the floor so I am their shadow walking around picking up or vaccuming up cheerios etc!!!! Happy Mother’s Day!

My biggest dilemma is my dog and cats. I have no vaccum and sweeping up after my dog is usless. It’s only back 5 mins later. I don’t see how she has any hair left. And the cats just make a mess out of everything. I have all white tile floors and black animals. not a good combo

Dirt. With 4 dogs going in and out all day, it can be hard to keep up with.

A 15 year old son and all his crumbs.

My biggest dilemna…there’s old carpet in every room, even the bathroom and kitchen. I tend to inadvertently sprinkle flour on the floor when baking, & I have to dig out the vacuum each time.

My biggest dilemma is lugging a VERY heavy 25 year old Kirby around the house and up and down the stairs. At my age, I would really appreciate a new lighter weight Hoover! Got my fingers crossed!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is keeping grout clean on my tile floors. I even chose “dirt” colored grout so it wouldn’t be too noticeable.

My biggest cleaning dilemma in my house is getting someone besides me to clean.

The biggest dilemma in our house is the laundry. We can’t seem to ever get it put away!!!

My biggest dilemma is that I have carpet and tile throughout the house, so there are different heights. With 2 cats, a teenage daughter with long hair and my neice who’s 3 and nephew who’s 6 mos. crawling around on the floor–I’m vacuuming CONSTANTLY!! The cats are all over the furniture so I have to vacuum that too.
This would be a wonderful addition to our home.

My hardwood floors, especially under my big leather couch. The dust and dirt is rampent under there. The cat hair that seems to get on everything. Thanks for the giveaway!

I can not stand to clean the bathroom…but I do love to vacuum.

This would be a great addition to my cleaning routine. I don’t have a vacum at this time. I gave my Kirby to my daughter.

Finding a cleaning routine that works for our family day in and day out is my biggest dilemma. Our house can go from orderly to chaotic in about two seconds, it seems.

Dog hair!!

Our biggest dilemma is finding a cleaning/organizing routine that works… with a newborn baby, 2.5 year old, jobs and a new-to-us house… soooo chaotic!!

my biggest is i feel like i’m constantly cleaning. I have a 1 yr old and a 5yr old with Autism so i am always cleaning and vacuuming. I vacuum the main traffic areas of our home 2x a day and by the end of the day it looks as if i never cleaned at all. I’ve never owned a vacuum as praise worthy as this one…it would be a wonderful mother’s day gift;)

Oh definately the dog hair. I have brick floors and they are really hard to keep clean.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My animals drive me up the wall when it comes time to clean. Pet hair seems to get everywhere! I know that people say dust bunny’s multiply but pet hair is so much worse.

My biggest cleaning dilemma? Probably keeping soap scum and hard water build up off the white tiles. Not fun.

Cleaning up the food left after meals and cat hair. Also cleaning ceiling fans!

Where do I begin??? Just built our dream house and the list of cleaning dilemmas keeps growing day by day. #1. 24 foot tall wall of windows (2 stories on the inside and 3 stories on the outside)For someone who already hates cleaning windows, this is a nightmare! Looks amazing though… #2. 3 cats and 1 dog with about 1200 sq. feet of dark hardwood floors. Can you say hairballs and dustbunnies?!?! #3. About 800 sq. feet of uneven and rough surfaced slate floors. Absolutely gorgeous but destroys any vacuum or mop you try to use to clean them. #4. Solid hardwood stairs that accumulates cat hair on each and every step. Hey, at least I don’t have to vacuum my stairway anymore! #5. Dust, Dust and more dust…I NEED THIS VACUUM!!!

i have 2 dogs and 1 cat so i would say cleaning my floors!!!

My biggest dilemna is keeping the floors under our couches clean. We have recliners on each end of the couches so when they are up you can see every speck of dirt, crumb, and trash on the wood floors. Yuck!

In my last house, I swore that nothing was worse than the black tile floor in the kitchen. Then I moved here, with white tile floor, yup, worse! It always needs to be cleaned! Would love a new vacuum, my latest one has conked out and it was expensive. Happy Mother’s Day!

My biggest cleaning problem is LAUNDRY. I have 3 daughters who seem to change clothes 3 times a day. I do anywhere from 20-35 loads a week. My husband will even wash and fold, but i hate putting laundry away.

My biggest dilemna right now is that I have a bagless vacuum that I have to empty after only vacuuming one room in my house. If I don’t empty the container, I have no suction at all to pick up the dust, etc.

Keeping the bathroom floor clean around the toilet. I have boys. Also I wish I could figure out how to organize all of my craft and sewing items in a small amount of space. They always seem to be strung all over the place and I can’t find what I need, so the area is always a mess.

My biggest cleaning dilemma is trying to clean the bathroom with my 23 month old son attched to my hip. Trying to keep him out of the cleaning solution, toilte and such is a chore!
Thank you for the chance…

My kitchen floors when my children cook for them selves.

dog hair everywhere!

Wanting to clean instead of doing something else.

Biggest Dilemma: Pet Hair! We have 2 dogs (soon to be three) and a cat, plus everything the kids track in from playing around our farm all day makes for difficulty in keeping things clean – plus my husband and I work full-time, so anything to make chore-time easier would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

clutter…sigh dog hair is a close 2nd

My biggest challenge is keeping carpets free from stains especially on the basement stairs! With four kids it is impossible.

I’d say my biggest dilemma is the stippled ceiling dropping pieces of itself onto the floor/counters below on a constant basis (I’m suprised there’s still stipple on the ceilings!). I’ve removed a lot of the stipple, but still have over half the house to do, and it is NOT fun.

I would have to say that the stairs are my challenge..Trying to clean them is akward and back braking! I need an easier solution:)

We have a small house with limited storage, so clutter is something we really battle. And ambition to keep it clean. =)

My biggest problem is pet hair. My poor vacuum has gotten a workout cleaning after Lucy,my lab mix. She sheds all the time so my vacuum has about vacuumed out.I could use a new vacuum with a lot of power.

My biggest challenge is finding things that make it easier for me to accomplish tasks. I have several medical challenges but the Rheumatoid Arthritis, Nerve damage, PMR and Fibromyalgia really make things difficult. Small motor skills and all.

My biggest challenge is the edges of the rooms since my vacuum is broken and the hand tools no longer work!

My greatest challenge is keeping the kitchen floor clean. It’s a small kitchen, but it seems as soon as I clean it, something spills and makes it sticky almost immediately!

My biggest problem is the crazy amounts of dog hair my husky leaves in her path.

My hardwood floors are always dirty no matter how much I sweep.

Our biggest cleaning dilemma is all of the pet hair. We finally got rid of all the carpet but now you can see pet hair EVERYWHERE! Especially this time of year when they are shedding more!

Ironically, vacuuming is my biggest challenge, because it is practically impossible to get the living room clean while my son is awake, but I don’t want to vacuum while he sleeps because I am afraid he will wake up! So I try to time my vacuuming for right after his afternoon nap!

My biggest cleaning dilemma is getting my boyfriend to join in! Maybe if he had some better tools…

I need a vacuum that can handle laminate hardwood, linoleum and carpet. Sturdy enough to handle all the pet hair, but can also get dirt off the hard floors without pushing it around. I don’t like having to use a vacuum, a broom, a swiffer and a mop just for my floors. This looks like a fantastic vacuum!!

Our biggest issue is keeping our family room floor cleaned up. First, getting all the toys off it. Then trying to keep it free of dust, dirt and snack crumbs from 2 toddlers who won’t allow us to use a vacuum cleaner in their presence because they freak out from the noise. Which means either getting up at the crack of dawn or staying up late to clean the floors.

Boy how I could use this!!! With 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a cat, the hair piles up everywhere!!

My biggest problem cleaning is the laminate wood floors in our kitchen. You have to dry them by hand to avoid steaks on the floor!

I have a ten month old that does no tlet me go out of her sight. So the only time I have two hands free is during naps! At that time I also have to find time for a shower, food, and to do other needed things!

My biggest problem is the hardwood floors, it seems like I never stop sweeping. Wouldn’t a vacuum be nicer to use?! )

Getting clothes put away after they are washed and folded. We live out of piles! It drives me nuts!

My biggest cleaning dilemma as a Mom of four children, is to keep the floors clean. Whether it is carpet, or tile floors, they are always being tracked with dirt/mud, or catching the latest food/drink crumbs and messes from my little ones. It is so frustrating that I really have the desire to just “quit” cleaning sometimes. Thanks, and I hope to win this awesome vacuum!

My biggest cleaning issue is that my husband and dog are always tracking in dirt, grass, leaves, or some other debris from outside. It never ends.

Ditto to many of the other ladies..CLUTTER!! With 3 little girls and a border-collie, we find it hard to keep anything neat around our house! Would love a new vacumn to try to tidy things up!

My biggest problem is finding time to keep everything done. As soon as I vacuum the living room, someone comes running through with a handful of cheerios and the next one runs through to crush them into the carpet. Ahhh, a mother’s work is never done!

Biggest problem: Finding the perfect routine to get it all done – and finding a way to stop procrastinating!!

OHHHH mama needs a new vacuum in a major major way! Ours is about five years old and gets very very heavy use. We have two kids under age 7 and two dogs that are indoor/outdoor and large (37 pounds and 70). My biggest challenge is keeping the house clean and not looking “too” dog friendly if you know what I mean. Dog hair and dust is a big problem. I’d love to win this Hoover!

The stairs, cord and kids throwing things all over makes it nearly impossible to clean the floors unless my husband takes the kids out for a while.

My biggest cleaning dilemma are my pets! Constantly having to vacuum the floor and somehow they always manage to get the part where the walls and floor meet filthy…right where the vacuum can’t reach!
