Full vacuum bags and filth

At some point every vacuum starts loosing its suction. When you realize you’re just moving the dirt around, it’s time to check the bag. A few weeks ago I opened mine up to find the bag was so full I could hardly close the hatch again. So I’ve ordered new bags but in the mean time I had to throw out the full one. I’m not so sure if carrying that 2 pound bag to the trash makes me feel dirty that all that was in my carpet or clean that its no longer there. Gross. Now I’ve been sneezy and stuffy.

I’m considering renting one of those carpet shampooers since there will soon be an infant rolling all over the floor. There is extra crud in our carpet, too, because of the wall patching/sanding/construction that has gone on since we bought the house.

Yuck.
