Getting Clean Floors with Hoover & DirtDevil Extreme Cyclonic Quick Vacuum

By 7/13/2012 09:35:00 PM ,

So far this summer my son and I have enjoyed being outside and hardly at home. But now that summer days are slowly coming to an end, we've started spending more time at home. 

This of course gives our family an opportunity to come over and visit. But visiting family means I have to clean certain areas of my apartment!

Note: As a Hoover/Dirt Devil Insider Ambassador , I received a product sample for review purpose. Views expressed are always 100% my own.

The one area in my apartment that needs some serious cleaning are my floors. I haven't given them a good cleaning since before winter time! Since then my son had dropped all sorts of juice and food on the floors. But I can't be mad at him since I've have tracked all sorts of dirt, grime and ickness on the floors also.

While my apartment doesn't have any carpet, except for an area rug in the kitchen, it does have two different type of flooring. In my kitchen and bathroom I have white tiles, while in my living room and bedroom I have wood like paneling. As you can see from the photo both are in need of a cleaning

Good thing I became a Hoover Dirt Devil Insider Ambassador while at Chicago. I really need the help of some of those vacuums and steam mops I saw during the International Housewares Show. While at the show I was able to handle both the Hoover Twin Tank Steam Mop and the DirtDevil Extreme Cyclonic Quick Vac. I really like the features on both machines and think either one would be great to help me clean my floors

  14. We have to run the vacuum throughout the whole downstairs at least once a day. sometimes more. With 3 boys our vacuums really get used. We end up having to get a new vacuum about once every 2 years. Our vacuum is coming up on 2 years old so I'm kinda being proactive here :-)
