I am in a cloud of dust that billows around me as I stand above my garbage tote attempting to empty my environmentally correct bagless vacuum canister and its accompanying hepa filter into the tote. The cloud of home dust, dog dander and animal fur that was once deposited in my carpet is now redeposited in the depth of my sinuses. This entire weekly ritual leaves me in somewhat of a dusty dichotomy. You see I understand that the canister replaces the bag which serves to save our environment because I reuse it. The hepa filter provides dust free vacuuming by preventing the dust from spilling out into my home. However I am completely dust free when I exit my house to empty the canister and when I return I am coughing, sneezing, wheezing and dust is deposited into every facial oriface I have.
The oxymoronic chasm broadens when I am notified by my disposal service that I must empty vacumm contents into a bag that is then securley taped closed to prevent leakage into the tote. Can you blame them? The disposal sorters and handlers do not want to breath all of that home dust either. So I am asking, where is the the old fashioned vacuum complete with disposable bag? I could use it completely guilt free because it all ends up in a bag anyway....and loose the filter...I don't want to clean it. Do you?
