On my end, it has to be popcorn kernels and maybe lego parts. What say you?

Not many things will be picked up by the wand since a thorough prevac usually reveals whats hiding below.


I think the corn may just be an indicator of the neighborhood or the socioeconomic area.

Swizzle sticks/straws... 20 years ago I did a rock concert venue a few hours after the show and I couldn't believe the number of swizzle sticks laying on the carpet. They won't vacuum up and there's no way you can risk getting them jammed up in the wand. You have to bend down and pick them up one at a time.

All the above are sucked out by the vacuum cleaner when its used on every job. Right guys.
I think I am going to weigh it when it goes out and at the end of the day to watch the reaction of the guys.

How about that nasty hair weave stuff. I hate to even clean it up on VCT flooring. Can you imagine sleeping next to some of that.
Now that is some cheap rug.

The only thing I have to say about vacuums is my Dyson and Sharks are not getting the job done on Not So Smart Strand. I have to buy something and don't want to spring $800 on one of those Meile thingys.

Sand in entrance ways, potato chip and other friable dry goods deposits near couches, pet hair throughout, especially where the animal sleeps.

In cars....,

Sand, coins, chips and similar, bottle tops, beedos, loom bands, bobby pins. Cars seem to concentrate it all.

In upholatery......

Hair, skin, chips, finger/toenail clippings, small toy parts, M&M's.

My cacuum makes the soil pass through the fan on the way to the bag so these things all make a racket to recover too. Gets customer attention which is great.
