This is an old post from the Aussie forum.

Hope I don't bend or break any rules with this post.

I also found this, and thought about where we were, then and now.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE:

I love cleaning the carpets in the gift shop, located three hundred and seventy four metres inside stockingland shopping centre.

I like to do this on a Saturday morning about ten o'clock, in the morning, as it is convenient for the store owner. Even though this makes me late for opening at me local pub.

My kids love to watch the people jumping and falling over the hoses coming from my truck mount, through the shopping centre to the gift shop.

They tease the kittens in the pet shop by taking them out and dropping them on the hot, vibrating solution hose. They (the kittens), freak out and run through the centre causing havoc, climbing up, and shredding skirts and pants as they go.

The security guard thought it was neat too, until some inconsiderate person in a wheelchair, tried to do a wheelie over the vacuum hose.

This dislodged him from the wheelchair, which in turn pierced MY vacuum hose.

This in turn, split wider, and the poor security guard copped faceful of foul smelling water.

He even had to take time off and go home and change clothes. Don't know why, he still smelt the same before and after the 'accident'.

After several similar episodes, (kids turning off the truck mount and running away with the keys, turning of the water tap, opening my waste tank valve, you know, general fun things kids and young adults do to amuse themselves), I decided to retire the truck mount and try dry cleaning.

This has broken my family up.
They no longer want to come to work with me as it is no fun any longer.

The security guard has been replaced with one that never smiles.

Those mischievious kids at the centre now steal handbags and cars, 'cos they have no one to tease anymore.

I now have to come home two hours earlier to my wife, because of quicker set-up and breakdown times.

I have to contend with using the shops electricity.

My fuel bill has dropped, along with hose repairs.

I don't no where it will all end.

But I shall persevere, using each and every tool that I have in my arsenal, be it dry cleaning, wet water, or hot air, to achieve my desire of complete and utter eradication of foreign particulate matter that has been firmly embedded in my cash register's, (oop's sorry), CLIENT'S carpets.

Yours sincerly,

shorty.

With water restrictions now in place, or coming in shortly, in many parts of Oz, ENCAPSULATION seems to have a lot going for it. Take note all you Mex's.

Shorty,

That was cute. You obviously had too much time on your hands when you typed that. LOL

I liked your last sentence...

Water shortages are a problem in many parts of the world beyond Australia. Using and disposing of less water may well become another selling point for this system.

Enjoy your new cleaning system when it arrives!
