HOOVERING

[zoaman]

Its just a thought ,but it was mentioned last night about how much the track(carpet) needs a hoover. As with a lot of the belt driven buggies there seems to be a lot of debris gathering about the underside of the belts on the gearing ect. not only them but I have noticed a lot of like a gritty substance(sand) all over the car, not just carpet fibres. I know they are off road and all that, but some don't use them outside ever. So ,and I don't mind helping, is there a way that we can hoover the carpet once it has been laid and before the track is set.... or not?

yeah it can be hoovered.. Prob not a bad idea as we have done it in the past before Sunday events but haven't done so of late since we flipped the carpets.

Are you volunteering mate?

I promise not to get a picture and send it to your wife!

[zoaman]

hi mike yes is there a hoover there or bring my own ones. I can get there early on Friday to help. but would need someone to open up earlier

the gritty substance you refer to is dust from the gravel in the hoses.
as the hose splits it allows this to escape in small amounts over the carpet, i tape them up as much as possible when laying out the track.

[zoaman]

this will prob explain the sandy substrate. however can we make arrangements top clean the carpets. I don't think its a immediate issue just something that needs attention in the future

the hose will need to be replaced to solve the problem, but agree that the carpet requires hoovering. Pete, is there a vacuum cleaner kept there to clean the other rooms
