    Electrical Question ties into Polishing

    just found out the amperages of certain outlets in my house without a tester or going to the panel. if the damn mytel blows/shuts off go to another outlet and if near the kitchen will be 20 amps and probably work. so damn proud of myself. ha

    Gummi Pfledge...Wow!!! *PIC

    my mytee II seems fine for vacuming then other times not so. i am getting paranoid and clean the thing midway through cycles. just how much more powerful does the hp60 seem? 137 inches sound great. my steamer has a suction feature but is too slow for larger areas.

    Do you like some sheen when using a leather protectant on darker leather?

    sheen is for your front teeth not leather
