Just an update, I have been in the studying mode for a few months, have the training manuals, videos, etc. and things are coming along quite good. Even cleaned a few homes, free of charge of course. Thanks guys for some good information. It's appreciated. My question is this. Anyone use or has heard of Zep carpet cleaning chemicals ? If so, give me your thoughts. I can't seem to find any info on this particular line. I'm thinking of using this line as I do have a connection there and it is nearby. Thanks.

Go to http://www.zep.com - www.zep.com they have places all over Canada. But you might want to give chemspec-canada a try. They have good products and they also introduce a new line of products that clean great and they are safe for you and your customers. Call them and ask about ecogent and dfc products. ------------- Huckmuck |

Maybe some one else can confirm this but in Canada Home Depot owns Zep and sells Zep through their stores. I can only assume the same in the USA.
As I have said before many times, never use a machine or product that is in sight and readily available to your customer or next time you won't be doing the cleaning.
Look at DFC heavy duty cleaner for effective and friendliness use.

Zep's products are almost completely NPE free now.
The products at Home Depot are not as concentrated as their regular products.

Ted - i was talking with someone in the US last week. No Home Depot does not own ZEP but they do buy $120 million from them / year. Not a bad account ------------- Jim Darling |

| I have tried some of there spotters, as I've been practising removing stains, and they worked well. The prespray and rinsing agent seemed to have worked well also, but then again, I've never used anything else in order to compare. I'll check out Chemspec. Thanks guys. |

I hate to say it Nightrider but some of the cleaners and attitudes I deal with definitely do an inferior job compared to a do it yourself housewife.
These same cleaners create more business for the true pro's. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |
