You don't use anything on them but one things, a wet sponge with NO soap.

They are a b*tch to clean, difficult as all hell to vacuum but, I love them anyway!

They'll last the rest of my life and the rest of someone else's life as well.

Picked the lot of them up for abt. $300.00 before 9/11 occurred.

Why? To cover my "new" carpeting so it would not get worn out fast and need to be replaced.

Works well to a point, but only to a point. Must be cautious not to place some of the lighter weight ones anywhere that a person can possibly get their foot caught and hence fall, my biggest fear around the house these days.

I can't do "falls" anymore. Nope.

Maybe I should just hire someone to come and to the job -- cost will be about $150.00 I bet for a small 700 ft. house. I hate doing it, believe me, lots of $$$ for a 3 room house!

Thanks for your help as always Warpy!!
