The bay has had a bad rap for the last 15 years...
7 rooms $77 and crap like that...weekend warriors running around with portables in the back of cars. Paying their techs 28% renting portables for 7 dollars a week. and all that advertising they use to put out..I always wondered... Is Canadian Steam next?????? another low priced cleaner with ALOT OF ADVERTISING.....they do at least 2 million pieces a month direct mail... ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

Canadian steams ads are very word specific...
Living room / dinging room plus attached hall 39.99 doesn't mean 2 rooms plus hall... that is where they catch you.... The funny thing they have all subs...working for 45%..Imagine getting your truck ready for 45% of 40 bucks?? You know those guys have to put the boots to the customer once they get in the door. good thing there is enough business for everyone to survive.... hopefully what we loose to hard wood will get back with area rug cleaning ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

I started with the Bay. They taught me all I needed to know about how NOT to clean a carpet. Told me I was taking too long cleaning 5rms. 12 steps and hall in 2 1/2 hrs witha Ninja/no heat. Went out on my own with a new Cheyenne with heat, took 4 hours to clean it :D Hope they go out of busn across Canada, but then someone needs to clean all these cheap trashed places! I get them to call Chem Who. ------------- Ron Werner Owner Happy Carpet Cleaners Victoria BC |

Now you have a 59 blower and still take just as long - but you got the cleanest carpets in town.
Guys - Ron's from my neck of the woods and I am telling you hands down he is the most honest and thorough cleaner here. We work together sometimes - he refers me when he's down. ------------- http://www.expertcarpetcare.ca>Carpet Cleaning in Victoria BC |

there is a JP influence in my website, esp the Consumer's Guide. But the info in that guide is accurate as far as I know and is relevant, whether from Joe or a manual (some Mexican guy ) As much bashing as Joe takes I think he has had a great impact on this industry. I really don't think there would be as many profitable busn's out there if it hadn't been for him. He started, then there was Howard, then Jon Don SFS, and a few others, all teaching more about marketing than working the busn. All I know is that my busn would not be where it is today had it not been for attending his bootcamps and meeting the cleaners there. I'm a long way from my Bay days. ------------- Ron Werner Owner Happy Carpet Cleaners Victoria BC |
