While a bit of charisma and persuasion can go a long way in business, relying solely on talking a lot of "bullsh*t" is not a sustainable or ethical strategy. Genuine communication, transparency, and delivering on promises are key factors in building trust and long-term success. People tend to appreciate authenticity and sincerity, so a business that focuses on real value and integrity is more likely to thrive in the long run. Talking the talk is one thing, but walking the walk is what truly distinguishes successful ventures. |

Mr. Steamer: when reality hits extra time and material does not always mean more money in the real world. But than again I don't chase down dirty resturants, sometimes they find us but we charge the same for them as residential. We don't like to loose our sleep for $.25 a sq. ft. But than again I am in a different market. |

Adwa, good advice you gave TomR PadMan has me convinced as long as you are willing to use sufficient pads on each job. My opinion is that if you cleaned a heavily soiled restaurant you would go through too many pads and take too long to do. Why not steam extract? That I know works. (Time is money) Now after extraction go over it once quickly with the pad. Now you should have a happy customer and what appears to be a sparkling clean carpet. The only concern I see with many of my customers is that if they shot all their pads on a restaurant the night before, they could be up the rest of the night washing pads at the laundromat at 5-6 dollars a load. Or cleaning the next day with soiled pads. Thats called redeposition. But then it has been said that evenness is cleanliness to the eyes of many customers. |

That does sound like the best overall method.

We have an OP and the time we use it most is not when you would imagine. our favourite time to use the OP is after HWE with a dry pad. When the carpet was trashed to start it just sucks up the remaining (filthy) moisture in the carpet and that prevents wicking too. I always find it odd that some people forget that the moisture thats left in the carpet is the same colour as the water in the waste tank. |

Well, you guys are the experts... Like I've always said, I want to work with the OP until I have enough to buy a TM, then use both. The advantages of a TM seem to go way beyond carpet cleaning. To be honest, I can think of a literaly dozens of jobs I've had in the past where a TM would have been ideal. That learning curve your talking about Doug, is one reason why the OP seems best to start with. |

TomR: I think you should buy a big air compressor, convert your op machine to air and that would just blow your competion away. Or buy a truckmount learn how to operate it compentantly and save all that trouble and be a more versatile cleaner. But it takes more conviction and dedication to go the tm route.

Without any further information, I would do the corners by hand with one of the pads. Unless the corners happen to be trashed, I can't see it taking long at all. We're only talking about a couple square feet in each room. Adwa, also the pads are reusable, so its not like you have to buy 100 more pads for each 100 pad job. Each pad can be used at least 80 times, and you only use the same pad one time on a single job so...for 80 jobs, your cost per pad is 6 cents, your cost per 100 pads is 6 dollars. Also, from what I've read, a 100 pad job is a "big one", and the average residential job takes about 20 pads. Going by that, a 20 day working month with 5 jobs a day (which I'd be very happy getting) equals $120. a month in pads. My credit isn't spectacular so I don't see getting a lease or a loan on a tm/van for less than $120.0 a month. And also, I am of the beleif that a business should have the least amount of debt as possible. I would love to see the whole formula worked out though by someone who has actually worked with the OP system. |
