they cleaned the matress when they came to sell the curby to us. I don't recall anything about skin cells killing dogs. But, I'd like to have some for the next time my neighbor's dog wakes me of a sunday or saturday morning.

This is when you're told to use the vacuum cleaner on your mattress to suck up the body ash. Body ash? You ask. Oh yeah, the salesperson says, body ash is the stuff that falls off your skin and sinks into the mattress. A spoonful of it will kill a dog. Well, I know what that dog licks and if that didn't do it, then nothing is going to kill him. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of lenny McHugh Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:29 AM To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] vacuum cleaners Well a little about vacuum cleaners. In no way is this meant as a sales pitch. We just purchased the most expensive Oreck. I did like the reviews and the fact that we had a 30 day home trial with them paying shipping both ways. The specs are fantastic where it has heppa filtration in the bags and will trap almost everything. It has a 21 year warranty including a 21 year yearly service check where it will be cleaned and any worn parts replaced. My wife really likes how light it is and how well it gets the dog hair. My daughter has a rainbow and stated that she would rather have the Oreck she wanted to trade but she is out of luck there. About the rainbow, quite a few years ago I destroyed the demonstrator's model. Needless to say she was not happy and quickly left my home. She offered to let me try it. When I accidentally ran over the power cord it ripped the insulation off . I was not very impressed. Since then they are using a much heavier power cord. When I was a kid I remember a Singer salesman bringing their powerful tank machine. He took the top off and told mom that the unit is so strong that it will stick to the wall. It did for about 20 seconds before the plaster fell. She always did want that wall replastered and the room painted, thanks singer. Shortly after we were married an electrux sales man came here.When he went over a place where we just cleaned he wanted to show Karen how well his unit works. He put a piece of paper on the sofa and emptied the machine so she could see the dirt. About 20 minutes later I sat down, can you guess where. The dirt was all over me and the sofa. I gave him 2 minutes to get everything out of my house. A friend was a quick thinker. He had a salesman visit and the guy had my friend run his cleaner. He then put a white filter inside of the hose of his machine and ran it over the same spot then showed my friend what his cleaner missed. My friend asked the salesman if he had another filter. He took it and put in his hose and ran over the same area a third time. He should the salesman what his new machine missed. The salesman said nothing, just picked up his equipment and left.
