Nylon on Vacuum to Recover Lost Items

Dropped a small earring or contact lens, etc? Just take a nylon stocking and cover nozzle of vacuum and attach with a rubber band. Turn on your vacuum, and run it over floor. If you're lucky, your lost item will be stuck to the nylon.

This is an awesome tip. I lose little things like that at least 5 times a week! ;)

Good idea, presuming you've got the hose type vacuum. Ours works either way. If you don't have a hose-type vacuum, here's hoping you have one like ours, which is a bagless.

If you lose it on the floor in your house, shine a flashlight horizontally across the floor at floor level. Most times this will illuminate the item with a long shadow and there you have it! This works great in my kitchen when I drop a Cheerio or a vitamin on the floor.
