Oughta check out those detectors.....
Yup.  |
I will definitely try the canned air (ok, I'll have hubby get right on it
)--that's a great idea! The alarms are actually only about 5 yrs old, we replaced the "contractor grade" alarms that were initially installed, so hopefully the canned air will do the trick. We do have 4 cats, and vacuuming has dropped to the lower end of the list of chores while hubby has to do it all during recovery (not that I could vacuum before, that was his, but he has some more important of my chores to take over...you know, things like laundry, groceries!).
The good news is that I tried recharging again Monday and was able to get almost 100% recharged without any further alarming incidents! I talked to the rep about it Monday and she said another possibility might be an interaction between the staples and the recharger; I looked up my smoke alarm details and it's the type that detects ions, so if there was a reaction it may not have been detectable by me but the smoke alarm may have caught it. Either way, I got a good charge session in and then they took the staples out Monday, so I should be good to go!
Thanks so much!
