Hi, let me talk about yet another theme which I feel interesting.

With respect to the "Dani" problem, I agrees your wife. I feel
that any kind of insect powders will not be good to human, and we have
to spread them all over the floor! So I recommend using vaccum
cleaners only, but often.
By the way, I recoginze that most of the vaccum cleaners we
Japanese use are of the "separate" type, a motor and a bush are
connected by long a long hosepipe. But I feel it to cumbersome to
pick up the brush and body every time I feel like cleaning the floor.
So I've recently purchased a "stand-up" type cleaner, in which the
brush and the morter forms a single large body. Its great! I only
plug-in the electrical cable, and just start cleaning. And I've also
read somewhere that "separate" types are not sufficiently powerful to
clean up thick carpets. Is this true?
I remember every vaccum cleaners I've seen in my favorite U.S. TV
animation while I was a child was of this "stant-up" type. Isn't it
that "separate" type is not at all popular in USA? I'm curious.
