New uses for ordinary things

If you are like me and have massive amounts of long hair falling out and seemingly disappearing on your bathroom carpet, then a small garden rake may be your answer. I use mine to rake up hair before I vacuum the carpet, so as not to clog my carpet roller with hair (at least not as soon). I still spend a fair amount of time on the floor or the front porch stripping the roller of my hair, but it doesn't take nearly as long.

When I have raked up and discarded as many tumbleweeds of hair as I can, I put strips of packing tape around on the floor and rip it up repeatedly, collecting as many stragglers as possible before finally running the vacuum. It's like giving your carpet a wax treatment...RIP!
