Cleaning & Laundry - February 2007

I have wanted a Dyson Animal for a long time and now I'm just going to do it, swallow the pride on the price and get one. I think.........

Now I'm wondering how the Dyson compares to the Bissell Healthy Home. Which one would be better for a home with 3 kids, a husband, 2 cats that shed like mad, and a golden retriever/saint bernard mix dog? Pet hair and allergens is a BIG concern, which is why I'm wanting the Animal but does anyone know if the Bissell is just as good or better? Durability? Reliability?

Or for that matter, anyone own the Animal? Can you tell me what you think? Thanks!!

I just wanna know:
Who cleans your house: you, your kids, or you pay somebody to clean it (i.e., a maid or maid service)?

My mom makes me clean *HER* house and I'm sick of it! Sure, I like a two story house but I didn't think I'd have to clean it everytime. *ONCE*....that's how many times she's taken over my job! Ladies, hear me out, she's never even washed the dishes or take the trash/recycle out on those days, *I DO IT!!*
I know taking the trash out may seem like a man's job, but my dad is busy in AZ right now with the navy and all.
What are your opinions?

How do you effectively clean car windows in a car that has been smoked in? I have tried Windex and the Glass cleaners from the Auto store.... still leaving streaks! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

How do get rust off of tools? How do you prevent tools from rusting after they've been getting wet for 3 days? How long does it take before they start to rust? Boyfriend will be home by 10:00 tonight!

I have tried baking soda, spray air fresheners, spray bleach, spray anti-bacterial cleaner, and sprinkling comet in it. I live in an apartment, so I can't take it outside and hose it out (no hose). What can I do?? It smells like old fruit!

I have bronchitis, & one of the side effects of the antibiotics that the doctor gave me (Zithromax) is diarrhea, & I coughed & made diarrhea in my sleep @ the same time & I tried to clean it up, but the smell & stain wouldn't come out of the covers.

I clean big time about once a week and always make sure dishes are clean and no food is out etc. I have a baby now an that semicleaning isnt the way I think it should be, I want it to be spottless!! How do I do this efficiently? How do i get into a routine of cleaning (like floors etc)? Is there a way I can start to enjoy it a little? THanks for any help!!
