That's awesome, but who's going to watch a 12 minute commercial? Any idea whose plant that was?

That was outstanding. Thanks for sharing that. I kept waiting on my Mom to come walking into the room.

And, I want that rug machine!

Looking at the delivery vehicle, I was able to read a name. Did a search, and got a pic of their facility on Google Maps. looks like they are still in business.

Tinney Rug Cleaners in St. Petersburg Florida

Here's a more recent picture of their building. It looks like they have added on a bit.
