Janitor Houston
Question. Houston TX - My cousin has a janitorial carpet cleaning business. Well, actually he rents a machine at the grocery store and cleans your carpeting for you. His other job is stuffing dead animals like beavers and raccoons. I guess he does okay, but my wife complains about how wet the carpet is and how long it takes to dry. She said it is like walking through a swamp for days. Is there any way to speed up the drying process?
Answer. You could find a regular full-time carpet cleaner who advertises fast drying. But then who would stuff your beavers? Is your cousin going over the carpet using the vacuum process of the machine to pull water out of the carpet? If not, suggest a little more time be spent on that part of the job. Also, some pros suggest you turn up the heat in the room. Since warm air can hold more moisture than cooler air it will pull moisture out of the carpet. Once you room is pretty hot and the warm air has pulled out the moisture open your windows and let that moist air escape. You might have to do this more than once. Perhaps several times according to the experts. But it works–they say!

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
