OP Cleaning

Actually, these spots where there after the carpets were cleaned by someone else, before they were cleaned by them and after I cleaned them three times.  When I went back this last time VLM did more than make them disappear, unlike the other times where they returned after 2 weeks, they are simply gone.

Sorry gentlemen, but try as you may you cannot argue away success.  I am a convert who once believed as you HWE guys go.  For general carpet cleaning, my belief is VLM outperforms HWE. 

I will always keep my HWE equipment around for times when I may need to shampoo and rinse - also for large spills and treatment of urine using the waterclaw.  I am convinced that the right tool for the right job should be the rule.  Why use an axe where a scalpel is needed?

I still stand by what I said Soil Lint, but I won't "chastise" you for your choice- if it works for you, it works!! Enough said...

These days you have to be The Method Man/Woman..

but who is to say you can't be a master of more than one?

Done the portable and the truckkmount thing in the past, learned how to get better results with OP. Mastering one, got rid of the need for BOTH.

try HWE then OP (if they're willing to pay of course!!)

the results will stagger you- OP on it's own is too slow and too many pads like you say (have done OP only jobs like that so I reckon I am qualified to comment), HWE can only extract so much before over-wetting/heat setting can become an issue, but combine the disciplines...

you won't believe your eyes!

If i didnt have my swing machine i would consider one of your OPs padman.. Maybe when it dies..
