When I was young and new to this business I was very enthusiastic about seeing dirt come out of carpet. It became a passionate thing for me. In later years some of my friends confided in me and said we thought you were nuts and losing it when you bored us to tears about dirt removal. Their is so much more to life than dirt removal. But wow it is so refreshing to hear the enthusiasm from Diva regardless of whatever system she chooses. Go for it Diva! |

I think OP needs it's own section..... The one thing I don't like is the fact that the rag spinners(new name for OP thanks steamin) Just keep talking about how great it is...how good a job it does... I DON'T CARE!!!!! I'll stick with my piece of crap 70,000 dollar truck mount, that leaves residue, over wets the carpet, can't get the dirt out, wicks and browns,costs loads in gas and what ever else bad you want to say about it Thank you very much |

Residue free is here and has been for a while. the new Clean-N-Vac products leave NO residue and leave the carpet soft and dry.
I expect HWE guys to frown and give us a hard time, but reality is that, "ignorance is bliss". And they may be why you appear happy..LOL

 ... I agree if I showed up with an OP machine instead of my TM...they would kick me out too...
even a porty won't cut it with the customers when they are use to truck mount |

It is another tool and a real pro cleaner should have more than one way to clean. Try this system on a poly berber and you will be surprised at the results, and no wick backs that can happen with a TM ON THE SAME CARPET. With the cost of fuel and equipment going through the roof, maybe we should open our eyes to other systems that are available, I do agree that I don't think pad cleaning deserves more money per sq ft than a TM cleaning, but if you can get it so be it! I base this on your cost of operations, and applying a reasonable profit margin. The one thing about most VLM systems is they consume a lot more detergent than a HWE cleaning system, up to 4 times more detergent, so I suggest you better be using a properly formulated product that is as residual free as possible. |

good question Doug
Actually,I have had cotton bonnets look that dirty. I haven't a clue as to why customers would pay MORE to have their carpet cleaned with a floor buffer. Now the rag spinners will say different,but a large percent of my customers would kick me out of their home if I drug in an OP or bonnet machine to clean their carpets It's not neccessarily my view point but theirs. believe it or not many of my new customers DO ask what I'm going to use to clean their carpets.
That OP must be hard on upholstery eh? Edited by Steaminpile |

Mr. Steamer: Looking at that bonnet all I can think of is that is half of the dirt the other is where?

Why are you trying so hard to sell this op system..... why wouldn't y'all wanna keep this a secret if it's so damn good... If I where you I'd buy every OP and pad that came across the boarder... I would want no one to have the technology... .38 cents and up per sq foot is a lot of money, man I'd be doing everything in my power to keep this hush hush... 600 to $700 is a killing on a house becareful you don't want to get arrested for murder.....lol
If I wasn't out in the in the cleaning world everyday.... I might believe the hype.... I do well over 200 commercial calls a year and at least 1500 homes... where are these .38 cent a sq ft for bonnet??? where are these 600 to 700 buck a house cleanings.... I run from niagra to Uxbridge from Tottenham to the lake shore... my eyes have seen soooo much Edited by MR. STEAMER |
