Look At the Label Before Using

I am not sure where and when a few decisions will be made but I know that I know that this week was one that was going left, right, and center. 

Just to mention one.  I had earlier took my vehicle in and had all the rugs cleaned out last week, after making a move I had taken out all the back seats and thereafter I wished to have them all cleaned there are a few different specialized places there that will do you entire car, truck, van.  One is called “Cupids Cleaners” but when you drive past it, on the outside of the building and around it – it’s so dirty, I thought this name cupid didn’t necessarily fit in the best of the best of this sort of cleaning.  So then there was “Bubbles”.  And a very neat operation that certainly did a great job with the carpet.

I thought I would take it on my own. Cleaning the seats afterwards. I had a bottle of rug cleaner – that I thought would work fine.  Prior to going to have the interior rugs cleaned, I had left the bottle of cleaner behind my drivers seat where there is a net to place things in. Little did I know that the cans would change after I left!

 

How this “Bubbles” place works there is a staff of about 15 people that clean your car, you sit inside or outside, and they have a variety of people working for them and they did a great job.  It's done in an an assembly manner, yet as my carpets did need cleaning and I decided that I was not going to take the full package but just have the rugs cleaned.  Some how by way of mistake, someone accidentally mixed up bottles.  my can of carpet cleaner had been replaced with some solvent that is used for tire leaks. Little did I know till much later...

 

So here I am happy as can be and I had gotten the can and brought down on the ground in the garage two of four seats to clean.  This can looked the same as my other, and I went to it like with such enthusiasm – as I was going to bring the seats to be as clean as can be.  Little did I know I was spraying them down with a solvent that reeked to high heaven.  And here I thought I was doing a might fine job!  I did it so fast and plastered them down thinking I would be then coming back to them the very next evening and, here before that I could see that there was something wrong, as a cleaner never will smell like this.  So off to “Bubbles” I went. 

 

I explained what had happened and they were able to get out the solvent and smell.  And over and above that, they cleaned the seats after and scotch guarded them. As well, they placed them back into position (which is a tricky thing to do).  But I do know that I am going to look at what the can says from here on in. As never spray down something with a solvent - it wont clean you seats, it could very well do the opposite.

 

Word of advice – look at the label before you use it.
