OP Cleaning

Thanks adwa, I'll have to dig through the posts more.  I studied padmans site until my eyes starting getting blurry and I had the sudden urge to put on a pair of long shorts and pull my tubesocks up as far as they could go.  Good stuff.  I still have a ton of research to do. 

 

 

Padman:

How many pads  would I need to clean 2 floors of offices that total 28.000 SQFt and how long will it take one person to do it using the Brat for instance? They are lawyer offices which are vacuumed once a week  but  deep cleaning is done every 6 months only and this one of them. Thanks. Consider a person who has only one month experience with such machine.

Is it not interesting that the worlds two largest carpet cleaning companies built their sales and reputation on this system and yet the worlds largest manufacturer of carpets does not recommend it. In fact it will void warranties if this system is used exclusively.

The longer I have been in this business the harder it is to figure it out. Or is it all dollars. The cheapest get the order or have the deep down cleaning guys just not doing a sufficient job in selling a deeper more thorough cleaning. Or do people just not care. If it looks clean it must be clean.

Do you want to move dirt or remove dirt?

I just recently purcharsed a powr-flite floor machine and some bonnets.  I am new to the business.  I don't know anything about carpet cleaning except for what I have learned through reading stuff on the internet.  I did research off and on and I ended up going with the bonnet method.  It wasn't until recently, after I purchased my equipment, that I started seeing stuff about OP.  So basically as of now the Op is not an option.  Although, I do plan on buying one of those machines in the future.  I am not 100% satisfied with the results and wonder if it is due to my chemicals.  There is a company called Heaven's Best that does bonnet cleaning.  They are a franchise.  They claim to give really good results and basically what I want is to give impressing results with the equipment that I currently have.  Should I purchase pads instead of the bonnets?  I just purchased several different chemicals.  I need help.  Like I said before I want to give impressing results to customers.  I know that you do the op method but i hope you can give me advice.  I feel the op method is more closely the same principle than a truck mount.  I am really into this carpet cleaning thing but unfortuneatly I do not have time to go to classes and stuff like that right now.  I am planning to buy a video on carpet cleaning as well.  Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated.  You can post a reply and or email me at adcc007@yahoo.com  I am desperate for help as I am a very very new carpet cleaning business.  Here is a list of chemicals that I currently have:

roto-brite

just magic

magic potion

trashed and trashed II

oxyblast

citrapure

Any other advice besides how to deliver amazing results would be great too!  Thanks!

Email me your address and I will send you some samples of chemicals.

Tell me about the brush on your rotary, are the bristles all even and flush?

If so you could use pads as opposed to bonnets and YES your results would be much better.

Give me a call if you like at 859-873-0273 and I would be pleased to help you with making what you have serve you better.

 

Thanks
