The spring sun brings it to light: On the ceiling, fluffs of dust sway gently in the draft, spider webs hang in the corners of the walls, the harvestman lurks high up in the corner.
High time for spring cleaning in the overhead region.
Not a thing in a low-rise new apartment, but in a rambling, spacious old building with a ceiling height of three and a half meters it is.

Above all, visibility is a problem.
Because the spring sun doesn't shine in all corners at the same time, and maybe you want to go hunting for fluff in the evening.
The hanging lamp shines too dimly, and the flashlight is impractical because the vacuum cleaner is in one hand and the suction tube in the other.
So we remembered the headlamp, which is actually intended for camping holidays.
Thanks to the LED, the lamp is bright and automatically directed to where we suspect the nets and fluff to be.
So we strap the lamp onto our heads and switch it to the highest level.
The controller on the vacuum cleaner is turned up, the tube is fully extended.
Now if the postman rings and sees us in the elevator, he'll think we're a complete idiot.
But that doesn't matter.
Because we watched Ghostbusters as a kid.
You know, the movie about three parapsychologists who start a ghost-fighting company, only to be sneered at, but then save the world from an attack by a Mesopotamian deity who's rampaging through New York in the guise of a giant marshmallow man.
The headlamp and suction tube based on Dan Aykroyd aka Dr.
Ray Stantz have already proven their worth in use against ceiling fluff.
For the forthcoming spring cleaning, we will increase the freedom of action even further by strapping the vacuum cleaner to our backs.
The hunt can begin.
