Thx Logan! It worked, and now the lux is drying. I just finished taking apart the power nozzles too- those were really wet, they're drying right now. The other vacs seemed to have held up ok- the Kirby on the carpet is fine- it was on a high setting so the brush roll is ok, the dial-a-matic is also fine, and the the other three on the carpet were projects anyway, but I think they'll be fine as well. And thank god the hoses were up on the wall! If all of them had been lying on the ground like before...I might be a lot unhappier! Actually, Im pretty good-just the power nozzles and lux got real wet, and other than that its just work getting the basement cleaned and all...
