Sure, they bring joy into the household. But that’s it. You can’t expect babies and pets to do household chores, because, why, that would be silly! Or would it? Definitely not to some industrious individual who designed these items so the otherwise less than useful members of our household can be made to pull their own weight.
Unfortunately, unless one washed these things often, your babies and fur-babies will be constantly insufflating all that dirt, redirecting any money saved in cleaning bills to be spent in the hospital. So skip this one and get a vacuum instead.
