Looking at the mesmerizing vacuum patterns someone shared online today brought back memories of my first apartment in Carlton. The carpet was this awful beige thing that showed every speck of dirt, but there was something oddly satisfying about seeing those perfect lines after a thorough vacuum.

The geometric patterns this cleaner created aren’t just lines - they’re a form of temporary art that speaks to our human desire for order and beauty in the mundane. The Art Deco-style patterns they’ve created through their vacuum strokes are genuinely impressive, transforming an everyday chore into something almost meditative.
