I’m not a fan of Miele or Hoover canisters what so ever. Tiny and very expensive bags, poor suction  and a lack of agitation at the beater bar. Not too mention way over priced..   In my opinion you’re much better off with a Royal or Kirby for your wall to wall and area rugs […]

We restore a lot of stone and tile shower stalls here in Santa Cruz. Most are in pretty rough shape from years of neglect.

Cleaning has historically been viewed as a commodity—a menial task that anyone can do. Long before sophisticated textiles and complex built indoor environments were created, cleaning may have been a simple, easy task, but that is no longer the case. Complex flooring systems, sensitive fabrics, and new age soiling conditions have created a need for […]
