vacuuming.

Typical vacuuming is a forward and backward motion. Go
forward one full length of the vacuum hose each time. Move
sideways one full width of the vacuum head with each
backward motion. Keep the canister part of the vacuum to your
left as you vacuum the room to your right. Be very careful as
you pull the canister, because if an accident can happen it will.
(If you're using an upright
vacuum, move forward one long
step and then backward one and a
half steps, because your backward
steps are shorter.)

If some areas to be vacuumed are
well traveled and need extra
attention, vacuum more slowly or
repeat each push and pull of the
vacuum. If an area is little used,
speed up and don't go over it
twice.

Furniture
If your company vacuums the couch
when doing Maintenance/PMC, please
read the following paragraph. The
Duster has left you signals to save time.
An overlapped cushion tells you to
vacuum the tops of the cushions only.
Just move your beater-bar from the floor
to the cushion and vacuum away. This
will not harm most fabrics. But don't use the beater on very
loose-fitting fabric and be careful of tassels or loose strings. (Use
the small attachments.) A turned-up cushion tells you to
vacuum the entire couch. You use the small attachments to do
this, so leave the upturned cushion alone since that will be done
later. If your vacuum has a motorized beater head, don't use it
