Area rug cleaning

That is the way this business was before tacked down wall-to-wall in 1938.  Rugs were picked up in spring and dropped back off in the fall.  They lasted longer in those days.

How nostalgic.  Let me get back to the barbershop quartet.  Honestly, sounds cool.

Same thing I am talking about.  What DO you know about the history of carpet cleaning, cleaning equipment, chemicals, the transition from rugs to wall-to-wall, tacks to tackless, padding compositions?

I am not attacking you, but your defensive posture leads one to believe you either don't understand what you read or have a grasp of the topic.

The guy is ignorant or thinks we are.
1.  He doesn't provide with complete information like company name, website, etc in his profile and he has had 1 1/2 yrs to do it.  No credibility, oh but trust him because he says so.
2.  His response proves he knows a piece or two of the total story making him the average consumer.  This is probably why he thinks he has a fantastic new offer.  But wait, there's more.
3.  I find him to be a joke as a panhandler.  He isn't willing to go sell this great fresh idea (well, that was what it was at end of the 19th century) to the owner of a rug.  No, he wants to try for a piece of the business the carpet cleaner busted his ass to get.
4.  He's a glorified courier service.  How grand.
5.  He must think carpet cleaners don't do their own rugs.  But isn't it a burden to have the responsibility of spending 100% of a sales dollar vs 27%.  And if the deal goes bad (rug is damaged or disappears as an example) who has their reputation on the line with the customer? 

Don't fret meliorman most of them have no idea where Ontario is, or better yet how big it is. It is a good idea, however, not to sure if there is that much demand in your particular area.  A lot of the cleaners I know in that area clean their own loose rugs in their own shops.

Meliorman, Don't pay attention to people who seem hurtful towards you. Their opinion says nothing about you, only about them.
