A Carpet
Spot Removal Secret

One of the most useful tools for removing carpet stains is a shop-vac. With a wet/dry vacuum cleaner you can quickly suck up spills, but more importantly, you can repeatedly flush the area with water and suck it out. This is much more efficient than blotting with a cloth, and less likely to cause damage to the carpet. Also you will avoid compressing any liquid into the padding that usually happens when you blot.

Abraham Lincoln Quotes:

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out

and remove all doubt.

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be

worthy of recognition.

Everyone desires to live long,

but no one would be old.

He has a right to criticize,

 who has a heart to help.

I don't like that man.

 I must get to know him better.
