 +==== Shop Vacuum Filter Covers / Sleeves ====
 +
 +Cleaning the ribbbed shop vac filters are a pain. they get clogged and nasty. They are washable but you need to dry well and of course that takes time.  One idea people have is to add on an inexpensive mesh covering to the filter that wouldn't necessarily harm suction too much but can help make cleaning out easier, faster and hopefully something you'll do more often.

 I there may be a case for improving some lobby carpet cleaning by affixing some velcro to a surface at the end of a stick and trying to pickup stray hairs, fuzzies etc from the carpet, and potentially loosening more dirt at the same time. Normally a vacuum brush would do this but not all attachments have this and I could see a vacuum brush impeding suction when I don't want it. A separate velcro tool may be stronger too. But would have to be careful not to pull away fibers accidentally.  I there may be a case for improving some lobby carpet cleaning by affixing some velcro to a surface at the end of a stick and trying to pickup stray hairs, fuzzies etc from the carpet, and potentially loosening more dirt at the same time.

 +==== Chewing Gum Removal on Sidewalk ====
  
 +There's a steamer device called Gumbusters and it's a system. It includes an Osprey steamer with a brass brush attachment tip and utlizing gumbuster solution which will mixed with steam essentially dissolve gum into a powder. The black blots of old gum on the concrete are an eyesore. The machine is very expesive. The solution may be able to be recreated

 By vacuuming last, you are more likely to grab up the disturbed dust you were sending off surfaces, frames etc. If you vacuumed first, then that dust is basically going to settle again wherever it may.  By vacuuming last, you are more likely to grab up the disturbed dust you were sending off surfaces, frames etc. If you vacuumed first, then that dust is basically going to settle again wherever it may.

 +==== Trash Cans ====
 +
 +Running into an issue with cans that everyone seems to have but not enough people solve it. Bag liners fall into the can and trash gets dumped all around the liner. It's haphazard and annoying. Needs to be fixed. But how? Well a few options. One is a band people put around some can liners. The band stretches and holds the liner in place. Another I haven't found but would be some sort of clip that fits the profile of the lip of the can, snaps in place and holds the liner from the sides or corners.  And third, linked below is a sort of pull and cinch of the bag. Ideally it keeps taught, stays in place but can also release. Cinching it requires the bag be able to hold onto the lip using tension. Not all cans can do that.
