vacuum lines
everyday when I get home from work I walk in and immediately pick up everything on the floor and have to vacuum (mostly kids toys). I will continue to vacuum until I can clearly see the lines in the carpet produced by the vacuum. Then I can sit down and relax.

I forgot what company it was, but they took out the thing that puts the lines in carpet and people stopped buying the vacuums and many were being returned. They put it back in, without changing anything else and sales went up. Apparently, this is more of a subconscious thing where we only notice it when it’s gone. People think that the lines in the carpet mean that the floor’s cleaner.
whatever gets your stress level down, i guess! i don’t like or have carpet – wood floors — so that wouldn’t really do it for me.
The thing that made the “lines” made the carpets cleaner since it ruffled the fibers of the carpet. It fluffed up the fibers and lifted dirt that was weighed down by matted carpet. Otherwise, the grime would just cake in and only the easily sucked up particles would be vacuumed. If the carpet doesn’t look disturbed (by one mechanism or another) then it did a crappy job of cleaning.
