Re: sim will not vacuum even though you click clean

@Applebetty89  Being a bit of Capt. Obvious here, but just making sure you are using the right option.

Polish to Perfection is usually for a dirty object like a counter.  If the sim has the handheld vacuum in their inventory, they will sometimes use it but not always and just do a sort of rubbing animation until the object is clean.  For a floor, they use the bigger vacuum when you click on the Vacuum to Perfection option on the floor.  If the sim doesn't have a bigger vacuum in their inventory, then the action will just disappear from the queue. 

Hope this helps.
