Anne Markham might find Vulpex Spirit Soap an antidote to her
staining problems.I am certainly aware of its use in the cleansing
of rooms and hallways of historical buildings where constant streams
of public have caused mayhem to the overall cleanliness of the
environment.

For further information on Vulpex including MSDS data please make
contact with my office, +44 1865 747755 or with Kathy Hollinger at
our American office, +1 703 321 7730.
