Has anyone seen the SpotBot advertised on T.V. from Bissel?

It offers a very professional approach to carpet spotting by automatically agitating a spot and then flushing it out. Maybe or maybe not this could be one more threat to the semi extinction of the carpet cleaner as we know of today.

Work or not it looks much more impressive than many carpet cleaners I know who rub a spot with the sole of their shoe. It does a great job cleaning the bottom of your shoe but does it look professional?

Remember the first three letters in profit is PRO.

Just clean the soles of your shoes before rubbing the spot.

Also the last 3 letters of profit are FIT, so if the shoe fits wear it and rub those spots deeper into the carpet.

That's probable the only cleaning that gets done is what the shoes remove very PRO?

I don't know if it is laziness

 

there's the time factor......it's gotta take forever with one of them rental units or a bissel

a rug doctor tends to leave carpets wet for waaaaay too long

and well,I know for myself I have enough to do around the house without worrying about cleaning the carpets.

Steaminpile,

I tend to ask the same questions with 100lb. Cymex machines and cleaning with hard surface cleaning pads + the kind of mechanical action that OP machines offer. It only tells me todays carpets can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

These cleaners who use these methods clean fast and cheap plus make money doing it.

Go figure...

In our industry it seems sometimes that you talk the talk but do you really do the walk to standards. Now many say if the customer pays have you done it to standards?

I just had one of Gmoneys customers call me....she doesn't like his OP cleaning.....lol  and he's been doing it a while for her and a few other places....

and he onlly charged her 12 bucks a room....

she wanted to know if I could do it that cheap...NO!

she told me she had a ton of properties that needed to get done...

but she needs a better price...so we did a test clean yesterday

she  loves it.....

but there will be no better price.

I can't believe those two Gmoney and Diva talking all the crap and then doing op for 12 bucks a room...lol

well well well, MR STEAMER,

You managed to draw me out on to the boards JUST to respond to your absolutely ABSURD post!!!

 

1) You COULD NOT steal one of our customers.

2) We would never charge $12 a room

 (we save those prices for lowly cleaners like you, who would probably clean it for a sandwich and a beer if the offer presented itself!!!)

3) We are far too busy cleaning

 (O.P.ing, Rag Spinnning what ever you prefer to call it)

for all of our MANY newly aquired commercial customers who keep us busy 6-7 days a week! We don't have time for a $12.00 a room jobs (unless of course the rooms are say 10 x 10 and there are over 250 of them and even then, there would have to be MUCH incentive!!!)

 

OMG EARL have you ever worked more than 3 days... A MONTH????

LOL

And Mr Steamer we still have our Hotels paying somewhere in the 24-25 cents per square foot range!! So why the hell would we take on a $12.00 per room job! 

I know you must get paid for being on the boards

 24 hrs a day 7 days a wk,

 but some CLEANERS  actually get paid to CLEAN carpet

 NOT JUST TALK ABOUT IT!!!

have a wonderful day,

DIVA

LOL would you like me to PM you the customers name???

Let me give you a hint.... you clean the office she works at...

I gave her a quote of $60.00 for 3 rooms

she told me you guys did her whole house last time for 75 bucks... 8 rooms total...

she knew you both you and gary...

why would I need to lie.

I don't want to needlessly pull a customer into it BUT I WILL TO PROVE THAT I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!

Mr. Steamer doesn't need to play your silly little game.... I was only telling what happened

you guys do much more than just carpet cleaning... I heard you do painting, handyman work, concrete cleaning etc etc...

so you should be busy..

btw welcome back.....not meaning to insult you, but only telling the truth as what I experienced.

I now know exactly who you are referring to!

And guess what??

 the  Joke is on you!

We OFFERED our services at OUR price

 she countered the offer,

 we walked!

We did do the office she works in, as we do work for 

HER BOSS 

 quite often, but always at full pop!

She is one of those "customers" who promises the moon and the stars if you will give a deal! We believe in seeing the moon and stars first cause as we all know " TALK IS CHEAP!!" 

Actually SHE called Us all summer and She called us a A COUPLE OF months ago to have her house done and a house of one of her clients 

WE DIDN'T WANT HER BUSINESS! SHE  IS A BRAND NEW REAL ESTATE AGENT WITH NEXT TO NO CLIENTS, HER HOUSE WAS NASTY AND SHE IS BROKE!!

We have the business now to pick and choose our customers,

 DAMN THAT RAG SPINNING HUH?

 

Anyways enjoy your newly aquired

nasty a$$

 broke a$$
