Hi all,

I've been invited to do a talk for the local Rotary Club about my business and beating the recession.

Does any one have some info / statistics about peoples carpet cleaning habits / allergies / carpet bugs that type of thing, something i can quote with confidence.

would be nice to have a few facts and figures esp from reputable sources etc.

Thanks in advance

Steve

Got shown a good one on the CCT course the other day showing how incidence of allergies rose dramatically in line with reduction of people having carpets in a study by the Swedish government.  If I can get hold of a copy I'll send it over.

a quote I heard on Tv the other night....

"don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"

if you need info then just make it up, might sound a bit wrong but you are there to entertain what they was want is a good show not to be lectured too.

don't forget 86% of all statistics are made up ( including this one  )

according to the world health organisation ( WHO??? )  in the last 3 decades the instances of childhood asthma has increased 3 fold...... its not coincidence that according to the British Wood Institute the number of natural wood floors has also increased by 300%
