Would it be useful/appropriate to upload my Pressure Washer & Carpet Cleaning FAQ's?

Yup...

Decide on a title, search for it. It will say this does not exist, do you want to create it? Say "yes", and paste away.

If you want to format stuff or add titles, font changes etc then there is a simple text based markup you can use. Open one of the existing articles and click edit to see its source text.

This page is also a good starting point for more detailed formatting help:

Well if you can't use a web browser I can't wait to se the FAQ! it will probably be quite good. I hope you covered how to clean red wine from a light coloured carpet. The worst thing I have found is curry, it's almost impossible to get that out.

That would be the ghee in the curry.

There are ways to remove it, beyond DIY however.

I'd like to suggest changing the name of the article from "Pressure washer FAQ" to "Pressure Washers" in line with other articles (e.g. Vacuum Cleaners) and since this is the wiki not the FAQ and the article isn't actually a FAQ i.e. Qs and As etc etc .... if you're happy with that?
