Mr. Steamer: I will get working on a glide for your wand this week. We still have a few old cleanco wands out here in Calgary that I can do a fitting on. When ready, I will ship the glide out to you direct.

Well Steamer; when I impress enough people around here I can shut up and give you guys a break from the infomercials.

Ken

One question for you.  If your glides are so good why oh why don't the major manufactures make them (i.e. prochem, hydramaster)?  Instead they invest in making more powerful machines to get the carpets dryer.  So doesn't make sense, and correct me if I'm wrong but haven't seen them at carpet cleaning supplier stores either.

I think everyone needs a unit, like (we'll call it) a BORTEX as a min. This would be a basic requirement for anyone to survive in this business. After all, I, personally, was a failure building a business with only High-Performance Portable/Electric TM's. I just may go to Hell for doing that!

 

IT MUST BE: 150,000 (US) dollars--hey, can't every carpet cleaner afford this?!

IT MUST HAVE: 3" vacuum hoses

IT MUST BE CARRIED: in a Semi Truck with a 485 cubic in. deisel engine

IT MUST BE CAPABLE OF HEATING: water to 400 degrees.

 

Realizing that MORE and, BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER in the carpet cleaning business, this unit will be a sure sale. It will capture a ton of customers for the cleaner and will guarantee them success!!!!

 

What do you guys think?????

 

Good Fortune, and keep dreaming;

Ed Valentine

Why not use the 485 cid deisel to run the machine back at shop and just drag the hoses to the customers house.

Dose anyone sell mile long sections of hose?

CCT, UFT, OCT, CRT, RRT, WRT, SMT, FSRT, JTC, JSR, JWR, MTC a great life, if you don't weaken.
