Hi BW Thanks for the links.. I had already read everything about it when I first saw the postÂ.I donÂt let grass grow under my feet when something new and natural comes out. .lol! I am definitely considering it, but I am a little concerned with all the returns and defective units. Sounds confusing with all the error codes, priming etc. but does spark an interest.. The only thing that I donÂt like, is the water lasts for only 15 minutes before you have to recharge. I also fear that once I buy it, they will make a new and improved one (isnÂt that always the way??) that already happened with one product , as followsÂ.. Long ago I bought the EcoQuest Laundry Pure. It was similar in technology. Worked on oxygen, UV lights and silver technology. It was expensive @ 750.00 (now the units have been reduced) The idea was to clean clothes and sanitize them with sterile, sanitized water, much like the Lotus. At first , I thought it was great, clothes were clean.. Then when I had towels that my kids wiped their hands on and it had surface dirt, it didnÂt come out. After 6 weeks of use, clothes started stretching out.. it was a fight, but I returned it.. there was no way I was losing that kind of money on something that truly didnÂt work and damaged our clothes. I do like the technology of this type of cleaning and I do believe in it, but being this new, they have to work the kinks out. I want to find the Lotus locally, so if I am having the problems as some, I can take it back with out having to do the shipping and waiting game. I am hoping it works like they claim, for this will be truly wonderful! I am willing to give it a try. I called the local stores who are authorized to sell it, but none in stock..so I will wait and call again. If you beat me to it, please let me know what you think! In any event, I will always have my Shaklee under my sink! (how are you doing with Charlies??) Ree

I used to primarily use one of those chamois mops advertised on TV with the built in wringer and occasionally still use it. Now I mostly use Swiffer WetJets. Have one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. Refill the container and if I haven't refilled it, still use it with a spray bottle of cleaner or water. I have, but haven't tried it yet, one of the Rubbermaid versions of a Sh-Mop. O-Cedar makes a version too as do others. They're the large rectangular one with the terry cloth or microfiber covers. Good for floors, walls, steps and more. The Clean Team recommends them. They say they're more efficient because of the size. If you have large floors, it could be advantageous. And you can go right from dry (dust) mopping to wet and back to dry if you want - just change covers. Same with the Swiffer, except the Swiffer uses disposeable pads, though you can make or buy reusable ones or buy generic ones that are a lot cheaper.

I hear ya!! There are tons of them available for very good prices but they all have cotton heads, I honestly have never seen one with anything other than a cotton head, the rayon is what seems to make it hard to find and apparently costly. My cleaning lady uses an industrial size mop and the big yellow wringer caddy on wheels she gets hers at janitor supply stores. I have seen them at costco and sams too but I would bet they are all cotton. What is special about the rayon? Wilen Professional H10016-011 General Purpose Deck Mop as you can see there many choices for cheap but all cotton this is what it says on the mop page about the differences in cotton and rayon "General Purpose Deck Mop features high grade yarns with cut ends, rust-proof cord-tied outside binding, and a metal handle. Cotton yarn is more absorbent for efficient cleaning. Rayon yarn is ideal for applying finishes and other liquids." so are you using it as a mop or to apply some type of stain or finish? well I did find some with a new google search Rayon Deck Mop Rayon Deck Mop search

The only way Chili's has your addresses is if you (or someone) gave them to them. If it's a legitimate Chili's email you're perfectly safe to use their unsubscribe link. But I'm not sure it's actually coming from Chili's from the limited description given. Hijacked address lists and such are usually from people who refuse to secure their computers and it makes it tougher for everyone else. This is why I quit using any email account but the freebie webmails (unless of course for work accounts). Then it's a simple matter to close it and set up a new one when people expose me to the hassles. Computers, like cars and, well, people for that matter, require some basic maintenance and protection. Spammers are getting creative and make things look legitimate and people get fooled easily, which the scammers and spammers count on to profit. People buy or just plain send money to them. It's profitable, which is why they do it. If nobody sent them money, they wouldn't bother. Plus when people forward everything, they're asking for trouble. They give a list of addresses without using bcc and not only expose themselves but everyone in the list. Then a bunch of those people hit the forward button too, refuse to use bcc and expose that many more, and so on and so on. The forward button is the cause of a lot of problems for a lot of people. I seldom even open forwarded emails, especially from certain people. Some are only sending dumb jokes I've heard before, "warnings" that are hoaxes and political rhetoric and false anyway or are silly chain emails purporting that if you love God, you'll spam everyone you know plus 100 people.... If people can't take ten seconds to set up a new email, bcc it and clean off the extraneous characters they're rude and inconsiderate and I don't care to try to decipher the email >>>>>though ::>>:all >>>the >>>>>garbage. Are you running a good firewall? Have you run antivirus *and* anti-malware programs lately? Secured your browser? Now's a good time to do it if you haven't. Most will run in the background and many can be set up to run automatically so effort is minimal.
