If your major concern is getting stuff "cheap" you're off to a bad start.

a hydroforce is not a necessity.Pump ups are much cheaper.

Why did you waste your money on all the major equipment if you know nothing?? I will probably get flack for addressing you like this but I get sick of the same questions. Where can I get something cheap supplies and chemicals???

1) Cheap could mean you use more.  Investigate what you are buying.

2) Cheap means you will work your balls of while a little money could have saved them.

3) Cheap can be hard on your major investment of equipment.  check ingrediants and don't forget your health.

4) Find a good reputable supplier of carpet cleaning supplies not a janitorial supplier of no name products.

5) Hope I haven't hurt your feelings.Guitar

I was given the expensive equipment from my Uncle. So I didnt buy anything. And I have a friend who worked at a ABC carpet and he has lots of products like Precon, Deodorizer, sanatizer, deep scrub,ect. that was given to him before he left that job. We have been using these products for the few jobs we have gotten but we need to know where to buy them soon to restock our supply.

Im not looking for cheap products im looking for good products that I can find for the cheapest. Sorry for the confusion.

Today I am ordering a carpet rake and a hydroforce but I still need to find the chemicals somewhere online or locally so that we can start doing more jobs.

Being from the US most distributers ship all over. However what you save on chemical you may spend on freight.  There are many good suppliers in the US Bridgepoint, Pro Chem. Steam Way I think even Chemspec chemicals are available in the US.  When ypu find one try to find the closest as being able to visit you supplier and discuss your concerns and problems will be of great assistance in getting you off on the right foot.  Weather you choose residential or commerical a good distrubutor should be able to assist you.  Good Luck 

You didn't say what system you inhearated. Depending on that finding a chemical may or may not be a problem.  But finding the right one you prefer may take sometime as not everyone gets the same results. After you experiement you will discover what you prefer.Guitar

Rather than a hydroforce, I would strongly recommend a Spraymaster. They have a dial to adjust dilution from 2:1 to 64:1 and cost about $100.00 less.
The advice of hooking up with a local distributor is solid. They have an interest in your business and can help you grow. Maybe a buck or two more on the chems, but the advice is priceless.

Hey new...

Welcome to the game...... all you have to do is investigate, just like you're doing now...hit the web...hit the yellow pages...ask questions...

this is how you get the best value for your dollar...see LilNiteRidrhood gave you a useful tip...

The best way to learn is through trial and error

Good Luck...

btw what kind of equipment do you have now???
