I have been reading for a while on the pad cleaning method.I really want to go in this direction of cleaning.I currently own a power-flite 13inch 175rpm rotary machine.I can't afford a OP machine at this moment.I have brushes on the bottom of my rotary also,well I'm sure everyone else does as well.Can I still pad clean with my machine??until I save enough $$money to purchase a OP machine?? Thanks any input to help my situation!! ------------- "DO YOUR BEST" |

If your entire investment is a $199 machine then get the hell out of our profession. Any investor under $6000.00 does not deserve to be part of our brotherhood. Go get a job at Sobeys -------------

Anyway in response to you question you can get a drive block for your floor machine that will spin the bonnets. About 80 bucks. ------------- http://thepremierclean.com - http://thepremierclean.com | http://carpetcleaning-coloradosprings.com - Colorado Springs Carpet Cleaning |

| I'm in the same boat as you. Are you still using the Powr-Flite 13 inch Rotary Machine? If so, are you using Bonnet or Pad with it? |

If you wanna get smart and ignore the splash'n'dash brigade , you can always buy yourself a new brush (which you should update regularly anyway, they do wear out relatively quickly!), then grab your old brush and cut the bristles down to 2-3mm length. You can then use that as your pad drive, with the bonus that if you're using the Fibretouch pads, you can use the shower feed to great effect as well (assuming you have a tank on your machine; if not, GET ONE!).That way you'll have a great start-up package for encapping that'll happily see you through until such time as you buy a dedicated encap machine.  |

Get a loan and get some professional equipment.
Imagine if your local grocery store started out with bread only untill they could afford to also carry milk then maybe some meats a year later.
Or the Beer Store only had Blue and Blue Lite untill they could afford to stock up on Canadian, then Keith's and maybe some day Bud and Coors?
What does your business plan look like? What's the budget for advertising in 2009?

First rule of business is only listen to those who are big successes and the recognized leaders in the business you are endevouring to make your own when it comes to what it takes for a startup or growing the ongoing enterprise. All you will read in here is what WE did or are doing which has absolutely nothing to do with your business model and while some is offered with a sincere effort to help you avoid our mistakes (which is actually something where our efforts, due to some unexamined reason(s), failed to produce the results we hypothesized) none should be taken as gospel - except for the one about putting a penny in a wall socket.  That one still burns a little.Unless you can find the heads of the Stanley, ChemDry or Coit companies here which I think is the last thing on their list right below gonad piercings  , I doubt that anyone here (including me) qualifies for the cover of Fortune or Inc magazines. But I did do a spread in 'Flabby Farts' where I was recognized as one of the top 100 pervs of 2008 so if that is your interest, I am your man.  Available on newstands everywhere next to the newest editions of HoverRound Honeys and Depends Divas magazines. A must read for the man who has to 'go' TOOOO  often.  ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |
