69M Uninformed Horrible People....and...
News1 min ago
I don't want to sound like a wimp but I am almost 76 years of age and since my husband suffered a severe stroke last November all household duties are down to me.
I am OK with the cooking and laundry but I am having problems with the cleaning. Our apartment has wooden floors except for the two bedrooms.
We have a nice little Henry hoover but he is a bit heavy for me so I sweep the floors with a broom. By this time I am feeling quite tired. To make things worse the entrance hall to our apartment block has a dark coloured carpet. So everybody that comes , including carers 4 times a day, leave quite a bit of dirt on the floor.
What I would like to know is if there is a cleaner that I can use without having to sweep or hoover beforehand and just able to wash. I know it's a bit of a long shot but I would like to know.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Can I suggest that you carry on sweeping the floors but not every room every day. Do it bit by bit. Put a dirt grabbing mat either inside or outside your front door - that will help cleap you carpets cleaner. These are a bit pricey but can go in your washing machine. Cheaper ones are available
Your vacuum cleaner is cumbersome and heavy. Could you replace it with an upright, rechargable that will be lighter and easier for you to use. These range from very cheap to very expensive. You don't need an all singing, all dancing top of the range, but I would recommend a well known brand such as Hoover, Vax, Samsung - there is even a pretty pink one from the same company as your Henry, called Hetty - the red one is called Henry.
Have a look at these to get an idea of price and choice.

Argos may not be the best price, but it shows a range.
A bit at a time, that's the key.
