Anyone else see the programme tonight with Richard Hammond.
He got onto the micro organisms around our bodies and houses and up popped the dust mite.
Yippee I thought, go for it Richard, scare the public about their carpets and let the phone start ringing.......oh no he went onto how much of an important part they play in our lives by munching away at our discarded skin Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Never mind on the plus side my friend up the road has 200,000 leaflets that are now worthless

Haha I just saw it and thought the same.. I saw the picture of dust mites and immediately thought "the phone's going to go mental tomorrow"

Bast**d!!  I used to like Hammond

But sod that, I'm waiting for the NASA-developed "Lotus" technology to come along and make cleaning completely redundant :

Don't know about the Lotus thing but there is a product I saw about 15 years ago which would certainly reduce  cleaning frequencies and protect almost any surface from cross contamination, wear and infestation. I had considered marketing it but there was a licensing problem at the time.

I read the dustmite thing in a different way.

I saw it as being pro carpet. There is possibly an incentive for the householder to keep carpets rather than rip them up and put a wood floor down.

More carpets, more cleaning. And we'll be removing lots of different allergens.

My glass is half full

Safe and happy cleaning

Ken

You should be a motivational speaker

[Jason Ryan]

Thats a good way of looking at it Ken, just hope clients who did now invest in more carpets

Mr Hammond is correct though isn't he. The little critters themselves are harmless and they do, do a good job of eating up our dead skin, however its their faeces that cause some people problems, like asthma.

On the back of it, I've got a rug to clean now, the custy actually said that "Richard Hammond" made her realise how disgusting her rug was! I had to laugh!
