dry cleaning

Why do people around here insist on pretending that this industry is about quantum physics or something?   Some people just are really desperate to have some letters after their names....education is great and all...BUT... if you get the carpets clean (by whatever means necessary), the customer is happy, wants you to come back and you walk out of the house with your payment in your pocket...what else is more important than that?

Look, the owners of this site are fantastic....I have learned reams and reams from Ted and others.  I will say though....my wife refuses to buy Windex when vinegar cleans the mirrors just fine..........

no we are the same person...just because we think a like...

Soap and Water....you can spray your traffic lane, buy filtration remover, waste time spotting all over the house...while your truckmount is outside drinking up all the gas...

If they Don't pay...that stain will stay.......I'm in this business to make money and I do LOTS OF IT... I own 2 trucks and tons of equipment...loads of contarcts and work ...PEOPLE LOOOOOOOOOOVE me

Adwa I never walk away....I know my job and I know how to make money...and I'm not kill my customers with chemicals..

These are just my opinions...I just suggest

not like the rest of people here that think they know it all, and only have one way of cleaning....and every other way is wrong.

I have to be fighting the same battle in all different areas..

I don't care go cry to TED...people here can't discuss as men

Gentlemen    (Lilniteridrhood and Mr. Steamer)

I was enjoying your debate last night in this post and in the topic Area Rugs. It felt like every one on line was waiting to see who said what next. We were learning.

If any one knows the hard work, hours of volunteer and dedication that you Lilnite puts into our industry it is me.

No method or idea is written in stone, there will always be resistance and debate and so it should be how else would we continue to learn.

Mr. Steamer gets frustrated and falls back on the one thing he knows will get to you (Making money on Seminars) and walks away.

Lilnite falls for it every time, gets mad, resorts to name calling and walks away.

You both have so much to offer and maybe it was the late hour and you  were tired from a long day,  but you end up fighting like little boys and Gentlemen that is what I call Sad.

Don't clean it

Our techs all carry 2 different dye locks. One for cotton and rayon and another for wool and silk.

When you use solutions of high alkalinity colours will bleed eventually.

The other problem is that often there are fugitive dyes in new textiles. Its like cleaning new blue jeans when the blue dye runs or even crocks.

The dyelocks take care of those fugitive dyes.

Of course you can try the wet/dry/ wet, but you still need to make sure that the solvents are being properly ventilated.

We still use Capture and dry foam sometimes too.. Harry insists encapsulating furniture is effective.

OR YOU CAN FOLLOW MR. STEAMER's industry guru- like advice and not    clean it.
