Yes, do vacuum if needed, vacuum actually does the same purpose of sweeping, just that it sucks up the dirt faster and more efficient, using a vacuum is better when the furs are really stubborn sticking on floor.
I think, living on your own somehow gives you an advantage to clean your house better as there may not be anyone dirtying your place. Hehe...
The rules of my condominium here is just as same as anywhere else, like what blackie007 have posted a section of the Strata Tittle Act in the another topic of yours
http://forums.petfinder.my/showthrea...0820#post90820, the management here do practice it, but if there's no complaints by the neighbours then they are fine. No any house pets should be any disturbance or interference to the people. If we walk the cats or dogs at the park here we have to take full responsibility to clean the pee and poop.
