Thanks for the Upholstery tip Jim!

Handi Groom Brush
A short, soft bristle light-weight brush excellent for cleaning automotive fabrics, upholstery, velvet fabrics, Oriental, Persian and quality area rugs. Effective for dusting and lifting the nap of delicate draperies and fabric wall coverings.
The fine bristles, tufted and aligned closely make this brush ideally suited to release soil particles, lint, pet hair and debris from upholstery and other fabrics.
Use on upholstered seats, backs and arms of furniture prior to and after vacuuming or wet cleaning for thorough release of soil particles.

At MF6 Jim Pemberton demonstrated how well the Handi Groom Brush worked for getting in tight places on upholstery when preconditioning.

I checked on the technician cleaning upholstery today and asked him about the new brush and he said he loved it. Really helps a lot in those difficult areas. Light weight, fits well in the hand and can get into welts and tuffed areas.

Inexpensive but a very nice tool for upholstery cleaning.

Thanks Jim!

Thanks Richard

Some insight to our company and my father (Richard knows Lee, so he'll appreciate this):

Lee has stayed out of the technical side of the business for over 15 years. But last year he took a Handi Brush home, tried it, and asked if I had.

I told him "No, I don't think that cheap thing is as good as its cracked up to be."

He asked me why I thought so, and I was dead in the water; as I hadn't tried it myself.

So, with an edict to test it on several types of furniture to and report back to him (we don't nickname him "Darth Vader" for nothing), I tested it out and found it to be a good product and a great value.

I'm 50 years old and still get taken to the woodshed once in a while by the old man.

Or, as I call it, getting called to the Death Star.

When he found out it was his nickname, I had to explain who the character was (he had no interest in the movie, of course).

I he quietly reflected on my character sketch, and then said, with complete seriousness.

"My kind of guy"

 

[Desk Jockey]

He has that powerful voice, I can see why the comparisons are made!

Your father is awesome!

Sharp as a tack, he was right on about the Handi Brush too! 8)

 

[Lee Stockwell]

He was right on about a lot of things when some didn't listen.

 

[hogjowl]

Isn't that the same tool that Chavez carried in his back pocket in the early 70's?

Been using that "trick" for years, there is also a tiny version called a Whiz Groom sold for the consumer to use on spots and on clothing ( you know Richard, when the Burrito contents spill out on your shirt and encrust your hand - wipe up, spray with encap and brush ).

http://www.groomindustries.com/index.html?wscdet_show=102250

You'd think that some of you hacks would actually read the suppliers web-site once in a while.

The WhizGroom is ideal for those hard to reach, tight spots in cars or furniture.

A Whiz Groom and small bottle of encap makes a great gift for you customer + you can have your Company name printed right on it.

LOL
I try not to spill on myself, in fact I've found spilling on those you're having lunch with is quite enjoyable. When you passing through again? :wink:

We need to update Tony's avatar. He's not "Higgins", he's Simon Cowell.

I should bring you a black T shirt to wear at the IICRC meeting next month.....

Give me a crazy George black shirt and I'd probably spill some cream on my shirt - perhaps a nice lumberjack shirt ??

Harry, Higgins, Harold, you never know who he is! :wink:

 

[hogjowl]

He was still Higgins when I met him at the Waffle House.

Not danny on marty's computer.

I was on my best behavior and even used a knife and fork and frankly terrified watching porkchop devouring his porkchops.
I have had many nightmares ever since.

Danny took longer to eat cuz he would or could not shut up.

Thankfully both of them had bathed recently.....

 

[hogjowl]

Your upper lip was stuffed so far up your nose that I am franky quite surprised that you weren't snoring as you sipped your coffee.

With your pinky finger up in the air ...

 

[harryhides]

Twas a moment frozen in time, thank you Marty.

"Not that there's anything wrong with it"

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I'd still love to sit in on an IICRC meeting....but the last time I was "invited" it didn't sound safe?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Lee, it is safe and you'd be welcome.

You'd have to just understand that Tony uses the Queen's English more than our Chairman of the Board, who is a British citizen, and says things like "rubbish" a lot.
