    Shampooing a carpet

    I have a trailer with a small amount of carpet in it that needs to be cleaned. I do not have hydro and relying on a battery vacuum. Is a can of foaming carpet shampoo that you let dry and vacuum up asking for a big mess? I have liquid carpet cleaner that goes into a wet vacuum. Would it be...

    Battery vacuum advice

    I have a trailer in a trailer park that has no hydro. I am looking for a chargeable vacuum not so much for floors but for cleaning window sills,mattress and crevices. Something with lots of tools. What is the best brand and that holds the charge the longest? Anything but a Dyson.

    scrubbing floors

    Noticed my parents kitchen floor could use a good scrub. It is lino with a bit of a texture and looks kinda grubby.How do you use a floor polisher on it? Do you mop and then scrub it or do you really have to soak it?

    Kirby question.

    I have a Heritage Kirby that started to smell like burning rubber. I took it to a vacuum store and had it checked and a new belt put on. Same thing. Two minutes into vacuuming it starts to smell like burnt rubber. What is going on? The little green light doesn't light up anymore either. Still...

    Kirby questions.

    This Kirby was left in a rental house I was painting and was heading for the garbage. I brought it home. I have not been paying attention. How old is it? At least it works but the brush roll is seized and will not turn. The belt is still in one piece.

    Bug in a Vacuum.

    I read the review of this book in the paper and had to get the book from the library. It has a great story to it about a bug going through 5 stages of being sucked up. The illustrations are beautiful. It also features a wiener dog which I am quite fond of.

    Secrets and questions about the G E Swivel top.

    I picked this vacuum up on the side of the road about a month ago. I haven't had time to clean it up yet. I really need to get a Mr Clean eraser. When I took it apart, I was suprised to find a homemade cloth bag inside. Could you run these vacuums with a cloth bag? I was suprised again to see...

    Free GE

    I was out for a walk and found this vacuum at the curb. It has to be an old lady's vacuum. So well cared for. Even with the tape on the hose, it still has great power. Little use on the power head.

    Just checking before I toss.

    This vacuum is dangerously close to going into the garbage. I saved it from the dumpster in 1999. The lady that tossed it had put on a new plug and it wasn't on right. My room mate fixed it and it has worked ever since. The problem is the hose,cord and power head. The power head died ages ago...

    Tour and a Kirby

    A friend of mine is thinking of buying the old post office. She wants to turn it into a restaurant. I got to tour the place with her and it is amazing inside. The clock no longer works. The current owner tried to turn the place into a fleamarket/dollar store. It didn't work. The place is now...

    New old bags.

    The local hardware is closing after more than 60 years. No real bargains to be found and a lot of really old junk. I did find these bags for less than $2.00. Will they fit the new Constellations?

    Loved the colour and had to have it.

    $6.99 wasn't a bad price either.

    Flood

    Last week's ice storm knocked out the hydro for 18 hours. With the sump pump not working, the basement flooded. Will these vacuums still work after getting wet? The bag in the Lux was soaked. When I picked it up, water poured out of the cord winder.
