We have had our carpet cleaned professionally, and we have done it ourselves with a inexpensive Bissell carpet cleaner. We STILL get some sort of invisible film on our hands when we run them over the carpet. This substance makes our hands non-slippery, like you cannot slide them across each other. This stuff also makes it very hard to put on a pair of socks when it is on the bottom of our feet. When we rinse our hands off with water, this stuff turns very slippery till its rinsed off. We have been over the same spot on our carpet numerous times with a soap solution,then rinsed with vinegar/water.(1/8 C to half a gallon) and we are still getting this substance on ourselves. We are real close to looking for another apartment. Any suggestions as to what this substance is and how to get rid of it would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Brad Seattle,WA |

Hire an IICRC Certified Professional. Sure, they may cost more than Eager Beaver Carpet Cleaners but the job would be properly done. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

With their weird carpet cleaning situation they must have called in Nightrider who used his TIDE-Y process. The gift that lingers.

Once you do, you'll realize how much peace of mind you'll have knowing your carpet is receiving the best attention. Getting regular carpet cleanings and providing consistent upkeep will help you prolong the life of your carpet and maintain the look and feel of it for years to come. |

The Hoover SteamVac Plus is a moderately priced carpet steam cleaner
that delivers strong carpet cleaning power. It's very easy to use, and
clean up is a snap. Features include 5 rotating brush heads, a bare
floor attachment, and auto/upholstery accessories.

John Moore Services in Houston is the company to trust for all you HVAC needs. 7 years in a room Winner of the BBB Award for Excellence. Give them a call Toll Free at 888-671-7925. John puts Moore effort into being careful not to post of boards unrelated to his industry and never advises which lightweight underpowered unit to recommend to professional carpet cleaners. The real email address of jeffambient@att.net for this Ambient H&C found in his signature makes it clear Dancy Davis is a front man in another SEO scam, probably another one of those English language murdering snake charmers from India. The city of Bangalore is known as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley_of_India - Silicon Valley of India . Tell your client you were counter-productive today ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |
