Ah, thanks Joy that is correct. We have not used the dry one here. We instead got our hands on this push broom deal that has short rubber brissles and it seems to work really well. We generally use this only for certain situations, but I'd like to find the ultimate tool that would require no electricity and could handle carpets. grin Well I guess the solution here is to keep working toward removing all the carpet, but I don't think we'll completely remove all the carpet.
