Thread: How do you defurminate your house?

I live in a house that is naturally dusty anyway - 1920s suburban semi-detached in London; all the "best" qualities - and the cats just add a little extra insulation :P

That said, I use a Dyson DC-23 Pet vacuum which does OK on my particular carpet but not perfect. I vacuum top-to-bottom each weekend (when I can, sometimes the world interferes and it's only every other weekend - horrid, but that's life) and that's typically two hours (the stairs are the longest) and I fill the vacuum either twice or three times. All cat fur. This doesn't include dusting, soft furnishings etc.

In the kitchen, the horrible old small kitchen, it's all about surfaces and cleaning products. Just keep away from the Dettol - in fact dispose of it and any products that go "cloudy" when added to water. And car windscreen wash. It's cat poison.
