« on: December 05, 2009, 06:47:38 pm »
Hi All,

Anyone down south got a spotter I could borrow for a small job I have. Well, its a big job actually! Worls famous sports star, cleaning all down stairs but has a bloomin small stain to remove up in the 3rd floor master suite, I dont really want to run hoses from TM all through the house and upstairs over 3 floors for a tiny stain, if I can help it. I look forward to all you lovely people offering to help!

Cheers!

Justin

This house was brought for 8.5 million! 100% wool throughout! The stair case is like the Titanic's staircase! 3 story's high! I dont fancy dragging a swamp doc up for a small stain. If not I'll buy a Bravo, but would be nice if I could borrow one for an hour.

Anywhere below Cheshire (where I live) is down south.
That leaves a lot of land for you to be
Where exactly are you - its times like this that filling in your profile fully really does help.

Dave's right, the Hippo is a great little machine, we probably use it on a weekly basis for small leaks and spillages, ideal for caravans, etc.

We also use it for sucking up the slurry after stripping hard floors.

You could always buy a truvex spotter.

It comes with hand tool and a wand that splits into 2 and got it all for 199 and easy to carry too :)

Er Yes! Me. Its lite. The motor for suction is not the greatest, but the price reflects that but the suction is the same compare to the truvox spotter.

Its great to carry around for just small stains. - after its the chemical that you use and technique.

Do you know what the small stain is ?

would it not be worth just spotting with a neurtal spotter , then after you have removed flushwith water on a towel, i have done many a amall spot by using this method only.

Hey Folks,

use cleaning services in London - Propaclean. They are very good in all type of cleaning. They charge as per the market rate. So try them, I hope they have service in ur town.

Just surf their website you will get more info about them. ;)
