1st Portable Extractor - Buying Decisions

Ya Rat...  It's also about having some fun and a high sense of humor.. Nobody knows it all.. Won't buy nuttin from you..

MBCC joined this forum because nobody in his area is buying his line but he thinks we are hungry for the secret to success.  Has it been TRIED?  Yessir.  Has it been TESTED?  Well, for a little while, yes.  It is TRUE?  That is where the lying begins.  Or shall I say an exaggeration of the results appear in his report but the evidence proves he fails to measure up to the standards of a viable ongoing business.  He believes it though.  THAT I believe.

He sure has a nice hobby, doesn't he?

Duck: Stop whining and belly up to the bar. What is your business model?

Willy: It's time management. A typical job for me is a single story 3 bdrm home with 1050 sf of carpet. This is how it's done. Key is to double up on most tasks.

0900: Arrive on site. Access unit. Vacuum/survey carpet/take digital pics of problem areas. (10 min)
0910: Apply spotters / scrub out spots/ raise matted down areas (15 minutes)
0925: Apply high traffic pre-spray (10 minutes)
0935: Unload truck / set up machine and hoses (10 minutes)
0945: Deep extract / spray enzymes afterwards (1050 sf takes about 2 hours)
1145: Pack up and go.

I swear the Job is done in less than 3 hours. Of course a boom box tuned into country music is a definite pace setter. Since I only have a 25' hose on my porty I centrally locate the machine to minimize moving it. I never drag it from room to room.

When using two cords, One thing that helps out to is knowing where the right plugs are to prevent popping breakers. At first it was hit and miss (wasted time) until I figured out that the 115VAC outlets in the laundry room for both dryer and washer are always on separate circuits.   Which helps save time.

Anyway thats the routine.

By the way, my earlier insults were in response to yours. Eye for an eye kind of thing. Nothing personal. We all have thick enough skin to handle it.

CCandmore writes: (by the way, if you’d quit arguing and listen, you could learn a lot from them – if your skin is thick enough).   So in your world, you let people basically spit in your eye and your response would be please spit in the other? Not a chance.   If their skin is thick enough they will take it in return.

These are average times. Vacuuming is usually 10 minutes. The purpose of vacuuming is to remove light debris. It's a quick once over. How long does it take you?

Spots come out easy when you can recognize what they are. Most are readily identifiable. Questionable ones is a quick spray/scrub & sniff. I hand-caddy 7 different spotters. Universal spotter works on about 90% of them. Heavy oils and red stains are typically the other 10%.

Pre-spray the whole carpet. Look, if your going slow over "good carpet" speed up. Take your time on high traffic areas. I also use a concentrated oxy-carpet cleaner solution as a tank additive (full strength is 2 oz per gallon). And deep extraction does the rest.

Yeah, well this CC rookie could out perform you any day of the week.   And don't worry about me and this forum. I am leaving your arrogant asses to your own devices. Besides, I don't have time for your petty BS.
