Skip the TM. In a couple of years you will not be able to afford the gas to run it when gas goes to $10/gallon! Get yourself a high power portable machine instead . If you live in the USA, you have the amperage to run the 3 and 4 vacuum machines. If you live in Canada, buy one of the 2 -3 stage Ninjas that Kleen Kuip sells. The USA and Canada are going into a Depression later this year, and you need to keep your overhead down and operating expenses low if you want to be one of those that gets through it.

I know by reading this forum the last couple of months that some coments like "dont quit your day job" will be said but I'm in know hurry. I also know the companies in my area that have 8-9 vans started somewhere! I'm just trying to learn as much as possible to give my clients the best cleaning and keep them for the long hall!

I've spent a few months reading many topics to try and answer many of my questions...Wich has helped out tremedously. I've been running a carpet cleaning business for about a year. The first couple of months the olnly ads we had were flyers.(didn't really generate many jobs). Finally our phone book ad came out...WOW RIGHT...haha no(our inoivces have a "how did you hear about us" section) not one call from a phone book ad. Never the less I found google adwords and it keeps us A-Float. We have about 8 websites but That Hitman Ad Guy is in this town and has about 10 websites all taking up most of the first 2 pages.(he still dosn't have the top ranking..haha)  Anyways, We have a 12x6 trailer and use a mytee with 200psi with a rotovac(wanted a stonger porty but the salesman talked me out of it, wish he didn't) I mostly use Pro Coice(extreme Clean) chems,tried using harvard from a local store didnt seem to work as well. Just like most forums i've read, I think it leaves the carpets to wet! Like most who work of a porty, im saving to get a TM. Its just not in the budget right now. Well there was a little bit about our business her are my questions

Do boosters work well? If so How do they work...can i leave my porty in the tailer?
Better chems?
Do glides on a rotovac work well?
Only get 4-5 jobs a week should it be more by now? (we have phonebook ad, online yellow pages, service magic, magic yellow, google adwords, yahoo ads, 8-9 websites, and a many local online ads)
If you really want to , cratique our website panhandlefloorcare.com...maybe it could be better???
 
We appreciate any helpfull info!!
