Trivia Comment of the Day:
"Bone scrapers" are a relic of the (garment) dry cleaning industry. Because of the wild chemistry we used then, we needed a tools that wouldn't be stained, damaged, or react with the stuff we used there.
Whalebone was the "thing" back then. Its carried over into the carpet cleaning industry because "back in the day", a lot of dry cleaners became carpet cleaners. My father included.
I would guess there are very few "ex dry cleaners here", but in the 50's, 60's and 70's, a great many carpet cleaners had that background.
Damn...I'm getting old.
Jim, Remember when we were encouraged to hold up our bone scraper when we met someone to show we were carpet cleaners? If it was a fellow carpet cleaner, they would also hold up their bone scraper.
Don't press too hard...Or do and charge for sectioning out.Chavez should know how to make them. I think he calls it a shiv.
I miss 111.Yes.
I confess I sometimes miss the days of cleaning carpet with the smell of kerosene from the truck mount burner about me and the "fun" of removing rust spots with hydrofluoric acid and cleaning upholstery with 1,1,1 thrichlorethane....sometimes.
I was never in the dry cleaning myself but I was trained by a dry cleaner who went into carpet cleaning. I learned that a lot of dry cleaning products were compatible with carpet cleaning like pyratex, streetex, Reynolds spot by colour system, how to make a semi wet solution, etc.Trivia Comment of the Day:

That's cute, the cast of Big Bang Theory would be proudJim, Remember when we were encouraged to hold up our bone scraper when we met someone to show we were carpet cleaners? If it was a fellow carpet cleaner, they would also hold up their bone scraper.
Did you all have a pocket protector or special belt purse to hold that and your fiber magnifier and burn test kit?
Geez, Fred, take a chill pill and avoid threads that don't interest you.Use a spoon and quit whining about it
In difficult situations use a spork for additional agitation
Yes.
