Pinecone is a survey and product testing company, but you can only join through banner ads. they don't pop up very often, only when they need more people. it's a very confidential company, as far as the products you test, etc... i haven't seen one in a while. i'll keep my eye out for it for you, though!!
My son got a huge glob of silly putty on his carpet last year. It sat for several months while we pondered what to do about it. I ended up using a product from an internet catalog company that took it right out. It's expensive, but as far as I'm concerned, well worth the investment. And it's non-toxic, too.
