Where is Ed York when you need him?

Excellent post Joe.

My gawd, imagine Ed coming here and being lambasted for fun by Nightrider.

It would be shameful.

Ed has done too much for this industry to be subjected to that abuse.

I e-mailed him the other night to come over and take a peak. Maybe it was a mistake.

Adwa, you say that most cleaners won't admit they are at fault for any problems with the carpets they clean.

You are 100% right. Look at the response, 95% of carpet is nylon.

Well it is no longer 95%. Olefin is up to about 15-20%.

Olefin is lypophillic and hydrophobic. So these guys use the same prespay?!

I would guesstimate that at least 1/2 of the nylon is 5th generation that is severely affected by high pH presprays. Do you think they even know what pH to keep so they don't strip off the Stainmaster? I bet not.

So you are right, there are a lot of problems created by improper cleaning.

Most people on this site might think of me as a know-it-all, or a big bag of wind that huffs and puffs and throws out comments of empty innuendo. Most of the guys on this site are just trying to make a living by cleaning carpets, I doubt very much that an array of problems can occur providing simple guidelines are respected. Most of these guys much rather work for themselves that taking on some low paying warehouse work and being subject to the equivalent of a whipping boy. I for one do not believe in the IICRC for the simple fact that they know that intellegence does not run high in some of the invividuals they pray on. Most are high school dropouts trying to better themselves through hard labour to bring an equilibrium to their lives. We do not all excel in a classroom environment and are easily swayed by magazine advertisements stating there are riches to be found in carpet cleaning. The IICRC took advantage of this fact and capitalized on it and made it a very lucrative venture.

As far as stating General Lee is a carpet inspector is the most preposterous thing I ever heard of. He, like all those entertaining you on this site is a carpet cleaner, why is that so hard to understand. When he started in business he was a carpet cleaner, when he bought his car he told the loans officer that he was a carpet cleaner and today he is still a carpet cleaner.

Also referring to General Lee being a  gentleman due to the fact his wife is French, is another unintelligible statement you mmade. Before you say that all of my statements are related to your in the same matter.......you are wrong..........all of my comments are based on interpretative parenthesis thrown into quoted matter of the obscure.

The unfortunate part in all of this Nightrider is that instead of some people learning what to use as a proper preconditioner on Stainmaster, they learn how big of an ass you are.

You know what General Lee , some comments are better gone unanswered....do you Live, Breath, Eat, and sh*t Carpet Cleaning. When you take your beautiful French wife out to dinner ....do you eat on the floor close to your first love......"CARPET" Do you cry when your carpets gets wet or walked on. Heaven forbid if you vomit or piss on it. Do you have a picture of a carpet next to your kids in your wallet. You probably have a swatch somewhere in your pocket, and marvel at it in your spare time. If you think I'm an ass, you're right..I'm an ass wasting my time answering you." But that's just the kinda hair pin I am".( JAMES CAGN
