Forty minutes for a whole hog? Sure, buddy.

Those wide pin strips are worth every penny on any run longer than 20 feet, especially in a hallway where everyone's walking heel first. Learned that lesson the hard way on a rental unit years back, never went back to the cheap stuff.

That wool sock over the brush head thing is genius. The tape at the collar keeps it from sliding up on the way back too, which is where I always lose mine. I've had good luck wrapping a rag around the brush with a zip tie for the same reason, soft enough to slide past the offset but still scrubs. Gonna try the sock next time though, wool grabs the soot way better than cotton.
