Dear Ms/Mr Enyo, Upon browsing through your catalogue I was impressed by the variety and utility of your many fine products: there were things to clean the kitchen, things to clean the bathroom, things to clean the car, things to clean the adults and things to clean the kids… But nothing to clean the dog.
