    Steel wool pads

    In today's POD it mentions steel wool pads included on one of the floor scrubber/polishers. I've seen them mentioned before in vintage floor scrubber ads but I don't know what they would be used for. Does anyone out there know what was their use?

    Royal attachments I may be interested in one of those sets from the previous post. What color are these sets? Does the set include the adapter that goes in the machine and the hose attaches? How much are you asking? You can contact me at [email protected] if you prefer. Roger Brown

    My Kirby shampooer, doesn't

    suds screen Be sure you have the suds screen in with the screen facing the shampooer NOT the tank. That screen can be put in both ways and, with the screen facing the tank, it will not make suds but will empty the tank very quickly

    missing posts? I'm assuming someone deleted the posts which were dripping in drama and appeared to me to be nothing more than spreading gossip. Robert or whoever, thank you. We need less drama, gossip and backstabbing on Vacuumland! Roger Brown Vero Beach FL

    Charmane is in the vac of the day. again!

    What I was told is the Mercedes dealer not only took up with her but gave her a job at the dealership! She's in charge of the "Hospitality Room" as it's now called. Used to be called the customer waiting room. I'm told that the service department has witnessed an upsurge in business since...

    What a gift I received today!

    When I was at the other convention a few weeks ago, I kept mentioning on all the Hoover Floor A Matic's people had! I have always loved using that machine...maybe too much as I went through three of them! I've been searching for years to find one in decent shape when a package was delivered...

    New Vac: Canister or Upright

    Maytag M1200 I have one and it's great! I ordered mine through Tom at the factory outlet store and couldn't be happier. Although, I really didn't realize it had TWO suction motors until reading these posts. That would explain the difference in sound from when it's in upright mode and tool...

    What is going on with Charmaine (yellow dress)

    So....THAT'S how Charmaine was able to affort that plastic surgeon! Family discount. Well, as my Sherman always says, "I should pay retail when I can get it wholesale?". At least they kept it in the family. Nice nose, I might add. It seemed strange that Charmaine could afford such a good...

    What is going on with Charmaine (yellow dress)

    Isn't that her sister? You know, the one who married the PROTESTANT? She's such a show-off. Having to rub it in that she married well by flaunting an expensive Electrolux. And the one with the pop out bags. But, between you and me, that isn't the ONLY thing she expected to "pop out" when...

    What is going on with Charmaine (yellow dress)

    I heard about that party! From what I'm told that turned out to be the "party of the year" as it were. I understand that EVERY police officer in the district who was able was there! And the handcuffs? Didn't Charmaine refer to them as bracelets? They were/are some of her prized possessions...

    Brand New TACONY Canister - the Wonder!

    Great looking unit Tom, what is the slot on the back of the vacuum body next to the power cord? To me it looks like a parking slot and the wands look like they have a plastic piece designed to fit in there.
