hot water extraction vs. Low moisture  cleaning (bonnet,padding etc.)

I vote for HWE

 

 

 

 

 

although I'm thinking about a jiggler machine from Padman

Padding sure is better if your doing a few thousand sq ft in the winter.. at least you don't have to run miles of hose.. or carry water to a portable

I'm going to tell you all a story that everyone will think I'm crazy to do what I did, or that I'm full of crap, but this is a true story. There is a company here in Longueil on the South Shore of Montreal called Hasbro Industries, you all know it, it's the toy company.........I had a monthly contract to do the hallways and showroom carpets, and because of an idea that was bothering me for a while in the back of my head I decided to try it out........I took powered TSP and used a regular house vacuum disconected the vac hose and just agitated in the fibres, left it while I cleaned the offices and after 3 hours vacuumed it all up and it looked great, so there you go........

The cleaning business is not what you know as a cleaner, it's what the customer doesn't know as a consumer

Not if you don't feel the pain, and as a good salesman you should have the ability to numb the awareness of deceit and focus on all that is positive
