I could write 'carpets cleaner can be serial killer' and that would as justified as the headline in the link, of course we can leave residue harmful to animals but it doesn't mean we do

It was actually Orlando and he was doing rental properties with a TM.

Clorox Bleach in the Hydroforce and Fresh Water Rinse.

"Is Olefin - Is OK" was what he said to me.

Internet marketing etiquette 101, if you are linking to your site and you have nothing to say other than a link to someone elses content then you are adding no value, just annoying people.

Well done Mike

Post by: Jamie Pearson on March 08, 2014, 09:56:12 am: Getting the spots off was all that it did.

I was on holiday with my now retired father. Same day I had been to Excellent Supply to finalise the Releasit distribution and had some sample bottles.

My Dad, Equally bored decided he would go trial Hydrox on some spots in our villa (same carpets as Mexican guy was cleaning)

Turns out the were actually a light cream, not the dark beige/brown that they appeared.

I had to leave after the lounge was sprayed. My eyes were on fire.
