I have been cleaning carpets professionally for 24 years. I must say cleaning a carpet is a myth. I have never cleaned a carpet, I have made thousands of customers happy, made so many raunchy carpets look like new but I know I am nothing more than an illusionist. I make soil and stains go away. I make rust invisible but do I clean a carpet really? No. it’s not a possibility. It does not matter if you use a truck mount or portable it makes no difference. I can make a carpet look better with a tooth brush than most can with a $25,000.00 Prochem, so what I am saying is don’t fool yourself. Learn the industry and understand the limitations so you can adjust for them, it will make your life so much easier. The best carpet cleaner is the best illusionist I tell my customers that. I tell them the truth and they keep coming back because they see a clean carpet. I see a dirty carpet that looks clean.

HJTRAS, I have heard a lot of bullsh*t over the years from carpet cleaners who have never grasped the above knowledge. I am going to make it look new. I will get ALL the dirt out. I will make it resist ALL soils. THe fact is that you could not afford to stay long enough to remove ALL the soils, it will never happen. Do what you have to do to make him/her happy enough to pay you. |
