Thanks! How do I borrow a vacuum cleaner? Context: I’m living in dorms for two weeks, most people are away on holiday, those who’re still here are on completely different schedules from mine, there’s no place clearly marked “Hang out and meet other humans here”. And I don’t even have an oven to bake conversation-opening cookies.
I looked into renting a vacuum cleaner, but that doesn’t seem to exist.
If your dorm is like the ones I’m familiar with, there may be a shared cleaning supply closet from which your RA or similar can fetch you a vacuum that you are free to use. Failing that, you could put a sign on your door offering five euros for the use of a vacuum and see who knocks.
You borrow a vacuum cleaner.
You can get some sorts of debris (long hair, mostly) and the stuff that clings to it by shuffling around barefoot, or by hand, or with a rake.
