If you're ever tempted to skip your weekly vacuum then you might want to take a look at this photo.
One Australia mum has shared the stomach-churning amount of dust and dirt her vacuum cleaner managed to pick out of her seemingly clean carpet.
In a post shared in the Mums Who Clean Facebook group, the woman explained that she lived in a three-bedroom house and would usually vacuum her carpet weekly, while cleaning hard surfaces several times a week.
"My Miele vacuum picks up this amount every week," the mum wrote, adding that she was grateful for "how effective" it cleaned her carpets.
In her post, the mum also said she tried to reduce the amount of dirt in her carpets by keeping windows closed.
