Swede who spent 28 years vacuuming in the nude to be evicted

A sweep-silly Swede is being turfed out of his studio apartment following complaints from hard-pressed neighbours upset about his gratuitous vacuum cleaner usage – and nude laundering.

A judge in Sweden has finally given the landlord of the flat in Linköping, southern Sweden the green light for him – after 28 years of trying – to get shot of the clamorous cleaner.

The court heard the unidentified elderly gent vacuumed for up to five hours a day, which rounds up to a total 50,960 hours of de-fluffing floors during his time at the premises.

It was also claimed he played loud music to drown out the noise of vacuuming and washed laundry on his balcony during his nearly three decades of living in the flat.

More specifically, he was accused of washing his smalls in the buff, which is quite an achievement given the frosty climate in the country for many months of the year. He denied this.

The landlord also claimed his tenant showered so frequently that it caused water damage to the flat, though presumably a better-fitted shower enclosure would have minimised or prevented this.

The house-proud tenant has lodged an appeal with the beak so it could be some time yet before this dust buster has to find a new place to clean. ®
