Boy, that's quite a list of items.Some of them are self expanatory but a Bonescraper??? Dammit Jim I'm a carpetcleaner not a surgeon!
What is a bonescraper and what do you use it for? A company called Magic Wand offers a DVD training video for employees.It seems to cover a lot of ground. I don't want to bore you guys with every stupid question I might have.There's a lot to learn and getting the truck is just the first step. May 10 and 11 in Helena MO about 5 hrs from Coeur D'Alene , there is a IICRC class on carpet cleaning.I will be taking that.It'll be a nice road trip, I've never been out that way. By the way, I've gotten so much information.From here and also from Mikeys board. It's a lot to digest. I'm printing a lot of the posts out and I'm putting them into a binder.Trying to do my homework (wasn't always that way) :) |

Just buy a vortex and the rest will come naturally? All you have to do is just showup intimidate collect the money and leave?

A bone scraper is used to agitate a little spot or it is used with a little citrus-sol to lift chewing gum off of carpet.
Ask your questions here anyway. They will stir debate here and in the process not only will you learn a lot but some of us might learn something too. Want a bet that about 3 guys are going to talk about how to remove gum from a carpet now? --- That's what I mean - ASK AWAY!! Edited by pilediver - 31/March/2007 at 8:16pm |

can you still get a bone scraper? I have some steel ones from chemspec they realy work good. Got them from Jim Darling. The orignal bone scrapers I didn't think were still available?

Just the plastic ones. Or use the edge of a duckbill sissor to the same thing.
