Getting certified by the IICRC is the easy part. I see coming up with the $10,000 deposit the tough part for the average GTA cleaner. After all, isn't that amount of money close to what they earn for an entire YEARS work?  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

I wouldn't waste my time or money. Some lowballer will get the job. Been there, done that, could write a book on it. Give them your money to clean for them. What a joke. Who do these morons think they are? |

They did the same thing with the government bid here, until they found that their "certified" firms couldn't get the carpet clean. Then they gave the bid to us, now it REQUIRES our method to even bid.
Certification DOES NOT make one a better cleaner, it just SAYS he is an educated cleaner. ------------- Converting HWE customer to VLM customers for 30 Years! |

Y'all Mad... It'll be a big rich company that will low ball... Places Like Mainline, or Interior Care will pick up this contract, the 10,000 dollars stops the little guy from getting in the game...

mjzivco, don't know your background.. but you should have worked with some local cleaners first to get the FEEL and learn "Hands-on"... for a year or 2 then break out and start... Classes sure don't hurt if your knowledge is limited... like they said above... good luck to you buddy.......... |

I guess it would work both ways........you would not learn there what you can learn here.
