    The product, in the report: ChemDry carpet cleaner

    I have had ChemDry carpet cleaner for several years to clean my carpet at the fall and spring. I have two dogs one seems to be ok but whether my other dog became allergic to what ever they use to clean it (see pictures) He lost hair on his back and sores on his feet. Ive taken him to vet the first one suggest to change his food to sweet potatoes and duck. I did this for several years but he was not getting better. the second vet gave him some white pills that he just threw up. the third vet have him pill for an allergy and that has been working. This fall I had ChemDry again and this time [REDACTED] suggested a cleaner that kill bacteria and like a food & scud ok. I do yoga on the floor. Did I react to that clice breaker I broke out into a rash all over, around my neck my front and back along my arms and a little on my legs and ankles and it itched like crazy. It then dawned on me it was what ever ChemDry used on my rugs that was making [REDACTED] scab I even had a spider plant leaves turn black the side that was toward the floor. All ChemDry keeps telling me it safe for a baby to crawl on it. I am especially concerned if 2a 86 year old reacts and my dog reacts to my carpet like like this What happen to a baby crawling on it? I do not believe ChemDry should have the right to come into your home and poison us.

    Sincerely [REDACTED]
