Title: Would this work
Post by: John Gregory on July 07, 2008, 01:59:56 pm: After watching Dave Cleaning rugs at the CCDO I fancy having a crack at it , trouble is I,ve not got a rotory machine with soft brushes , Would I be able to use a envirodry machine or am I being daft ?

Thanks John

Cheers Goron
