Re: Best OTC Carpet Combo

Good comparison, with the air dried bath towels. I'm still searching for one of those brushes.
Thanks for checking on the soapy residue question.

Ive heard you mention your wife's custom mixture.....care to share your secret?

For sure. I will PM you the recipe later tonight. All I know is it is INSANELY cheap and easy to make once you buy the initial supplies. We are talking like $.15 per gallon...

That sounds awesome! I pay around .08/oz for Simple green alone.

Re: Best OTC Carpet Combo

I use simple green with it direct from the bottle. Just spray in and scrub, then suck out with wet/dry vacumm, works great
