How many jobs

Hammy,

I always have great respect for people who know the difference between "your" and "you're". Keep up the great work!

And I do believe 14 years in the industry aswell as IICRC certifications in carpet cleaning, mold remediation, flood restoration, carpet repair, upholstery cleaning and Oriental rug cleaning/repair qualifies me as a veteran my friend.


Let me guess. You bought a portable and called yourself a carpet cleaner?
Great work! Thanks for defining the line between certified carpet technician and cleaner! There is nothing more satisfying than the smile on a customers face after we fix the problems guys like you create. Well, I guess the big fat check they write us is almost as satisfying.





A little word of advice. Maybe you should find out who you are talking to before you start flapping your gums... you look kind of, well, stupid when you do.

wow. I'm surprised at some of the responses. I've been in business for myself since Febuary and I'm dong about 50 jobs a month myself. I've gotten to the point to where I hired a tech to do some of the work already.

I have a little advice for you guys.

#1 Make sure you have a uniform with your company logo. Makes a HUGE difference, especially when adding on.

#2 Make sure someone is answering your phones professionally, even if it's you "thank you for calling xyz carpet cleaning"

#3 forget about signs and kinkos printed flyers. It cheapens your business. Instead check out 48hourprint.com and look at the 5,000 nightclub flyers for $250 special. Trust me! This makes the WORLD of difference!

                                   to invent that?   

"they put shopping bags on their feet which also stained the carpet"

Steamer runs Liquid defoamer through the mount lol. Listen...I know you probably been around a long time but some of the things you do just dont make sense. For instance...If you just sprinkle down the defoamer and ran the acid rinse in the first place...You wouldnt haveta go back and re-rinse.

Ninja-wand wrote: Settle down before you pop a vein in your head.       "put the f-in soap down aggitate and rinse. Even a washing machine can do that."-Steamer     If you think thats what carpet cleanin is all about...then YOU are a hack.     BTW, REAL carpet cleaner wouldnt run liquid defoamer through the TM either.

the carpet was soapy...a little around the waste water intake didn't work...a little in the hose was no use...

You do when you clean after ninja wand ...who runs soap through his truck mount and leaves the carpet so soapy it can't be cleaned..
