I tried to mix up some "dry foam" out of Ivory <BR>> soap and water, since I couldn't find any Woolite Carpet Cleaner which had also <BR>> been recommended (but I couldn't find). <BR>> It was hard to get much foam, and the foam didn't seem sufficiently "dry" to me, <BR>> so I used it very sparingly with a soft brush. It didn't make much of a <BR>> difference although I did get some of the accumulated crud off. <BR>> Is Woolite Carpet Cleaner generally available somewhere? And which version of <BR>> it- there appear to be several versions per the Woolite website,! as I r ecall, <BR>> deep-cleaning and regular were two of the options. <BR>> Thanks, <BR>> Ginny Bear <BR>> Seattle <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ___________________________________________________________ <BR>> This message is intended solely for the use of the individual and entity to whom <BR>> it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, <BR>> and exempt from disclosure under applicable state and federal laws.
