[Coastal] rain, flood and UoH

[Cindi Picou]

Just one more addendum to this thread; I work in the floorcovering industry and
under no circumstances should you put "Carpet-Fresh" or any other powder-type
freshener in your carpet. It degrades the fibers and makes your carpet wear that
much quicker. Try Hillary's suggestion instead.

good luck everyone,
Selina of the Wood
