    Brian,
    I would call HB directly, and ask them.
    I know the professional rug plants use a dye stabilizer in the bath.
    I haven’t seen any stabilizers advertised in the trade magazines, so I don’t know where to find them.

    If all else fails, I guess you could do an internet search for them.
    Good Luck

    PA,
    I would like to use your name, but it isn’t posted.

    I have thought about your problem, and I believe I have a solution for you.

    Use a hack saw blade to make a groove all the way around your axle, in about the same location where the teeth of the white caps should rest. Then install new white caps.

    I don’t know what kind of clearance you have on the dolly, as I don’t have one. If you need to, remove the blade from the saw and wrap tape around one end to create a more user friendly handle.

    Good luck,

    I have been using my LG front loader for 3 years now, without any failures.
    I have imposed an 8 pad limit per load. It can take more, however, I prefer a little piece of mind in knowing they are actually clean.

    The washer also had a built in strainer at the bottom. I checked it a few times when I first started and never found anything in it. The door seal has a built in trap for hair, and does a really good job of catching it. So I never have to check the strainer. Just like cleaning out the lint filter for the dryer, I clean the “hair trap” for the washer, after each load.

    I love my LG.

    Using the old pads on Rentals doesn’t take up extra time when combined with the Dirt Napper.
    I performed another Miracle this morning.

    -OR-

    Another idea would be to take them to the local rescue shelter for dogs.
    They make great toys for tug-o-war, frisbee, or to just take a nap on.

    I do the same thing Gary mentioned.
    A repeat customer will leave a message. They know they will get a great job performed if they have a little patients.

    The customer your speaking to is worth money. Your building a rapport, and it would be rude and thoughtless to ask them to hold for another call.

    Most people know they have to “Leave a message” for the carpet cleaner.
    People are very surprised when a cleaner actually answers their phone.
    Particularly in today’s “techno” environment.

    Hi Dave,
    All good points. You mentioned employee safety, and for that very reason I train my guys to work in a forward direction at all times.
    Your right… I don’t want to fall backwards and have a 45 lb sprayer land on me. Sooo….Don’t walk backwards.

    The stainless steel is a hazard to furniture and wall trim.
    But I am willing to accept that in return for having a professional looking sprayer that is easy to clean, and simple to maintain.

    Thanks

    I think we have a great sprayer.
    Let’s face it, anything you buy is going to need maintenance at some time or another.
    Besides, aren’t those sprayers you mentioned made from plastic?

    Main page, lower right corner:
    No Residue

    Maybe: “No Sticky Residue”.

    Love the UTube vid.

    Nice Site.

    Richard,
    I have been wearing the blue s/s with dark blue shorts.
    I chose black snickers from Shoes for Crews, long ago.
    They have the best Non-Slip soles that I have found.

    Skechers has also come out with a line of slip resistant leather shoes.

    Hey Tim,
    I use to have a similar battery situation.
    A little fore thought: I have a larger pump in mine, than the original.
    (I wish I had known about the pressure adjustment screw back then.)

    I went to the local battery distribution company and purchased a 7.5 amp battery. It is the same size, only longer. (I had to bend the holding bracket in my sprayer down to fit the battery.)
    Now, it runs all day.

    *******************
    On another occasion, I had the misfortune of buying one that would drain down after a couple of hours. I replaced it, only to have the same problem.
    Come to find out, that particular batch that the distributor had, was BAD.

    I found a different battery distributor, and purchased one of his. (Different brand) I have been using that battery for at least 10 months now, without a problem. It last all day, and then some.
