FAHGETABOUTIT! Recent post about Perwool

I apologize to anyone that contacted Total Vac about Perwool and were as disappointed as I was to get NO REPLY! PLEASE -- don't do business with a company that doesn't give a rats rump about customer service -- I am in the process of finding another source and will post when I have the product in hand!

It's gotta start somewhere! We don't deserve to be ignored by these companies that believe they have a monopoly!
