- I've always been a bit senstive to talcs (especially the smelly ones) so we've
- always had loads about "spare". One use is to sprinkle a bit on a carpet
- and then hoover it up. You slowly make your way across the room. It works a
- bit like "shake and vac" type products. Great if you've got pets that shed
- hair everywhere but probably not so good if you react to dust particles in the
- air. It's not too bad because you are vacuming it up so quickly. The smell
- hangs about for a while and makes the room smell better than wet dog. I quite
- like the peach one I was given a while back.
