I found out it can do wonders on windows, carpets, walls, clothes, etc. and disinfects all in one shot.<br /><br />I was shampooing my carpets back before the holidays and a belt broke on the stupid thing. I got in touch with Bissell and they wouldn't sell me the belt, because...there was a shock hazard recall on my model. Now, this machine is like brand new. And they wanted me to drive it to a service center to be checked which is about 3 hours plus from me. Or, find a big enough box, ship it to them (their expense) and they would send me a refurbished one! Mine is brand new! A refurbished one? I don't think so! So, at some point, I'll be headed to Eden, NC to get it checked out. All for a stupid $3.00 belt.<br /><br />Anyway...congrats on getting that shower stall cleaned. More than I can say for mine.

I've never heard of that, it sounds nice!<br /><br />I usually go to the big dog show here, Crufts, and one year there was a woman who would make you a jumper with the fur from your dog or cat. I really didn't fancy it, but there were plenty of people buying.<br /><br />Cat fur is probably worse than dog; my lovely cat Dahlia used to like to lie on a particular step on the stairs, and when she moved, it was as if we had a white carpet.Ansley Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612940001065210915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058477014639617228.post-37463026500162924622007-01-14T08:59:00.000-08:002007-01-14T08:59:00.000-08:00Ansley,

In the summer, one sweep with the vacuum and it looks like we have an entire cat in our vacuum. No, I'm not kidding. LOL<br /><br />The shower looks amazing. Vinegar, oregano oil and the Castille soap worked wonders. Better than Chlorox. Yes, really. I think the vinegar and oregano oil continued to even after I had rinsed it off. And the Castille soap had peppermint oil in it so everything smelled "minty fresh".

I've got two cocker spaniels, one of whom is orange roan -- kind of marmalade and white, but a lot of white. The carpets have a sort of furry coating. I've got a fantastic vacuum cleaner, called 'The Miele Big Cat and Dog' (honestly!) but it's such a chore all the time, and when I've finished, the dogs obligingly roll and writhe about a bit and it's back to where we were!<br /><br />Anyhow, well done Marci!Ansley Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612940001065210915noreply@blogger.com
