For Rotarys or Op cleaning http://shamwow.com - http://shamwow.com  Saw it on TV sucking up water right through the backing..  Is it true?

I haven't tried it, but if you watch the video, it looks like it's been edited at the parts where he's absorbing the liquids -------------

OxyClean was sold that way, some barker telling what it would do on TV. Look at how well he is copied now. Some things sold on TV are phase 1 on things to come. Who knows, might become part of a fast drying method someday. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

| after reading this thread I decided to try them out with my rotary machine. Took a couple of weeks for them to come in but when they did I threw them down and gave a whirl on 20oz of barqs root beer that sat on CGD carpet for about 6 hours. Nice sticky mess. I prevaced the area, sprayed some blade and PCP from CCSOP. Soaked a shamwow in warm tap water, hand wrung out just a bit so it's not dripping but a little more than washer dry. One pass and it actually soaked up the root beer. Pulled off the shamwow and wrung it out again. Put another SW down and made a couple more passes. The results shocked me. I decided to try on our area rug and it cleaned it right up. Ok, sooo...do they clean better than a pad? No. But you get what you pay for. They are not the miracle wonder they say they are but they are just as good as cotton bath towel. Yes I tried that too. |
