Everyone has their favorite T.L.cleaner, How about your own home-brew?
Oxyclean w/ baking soda scrubbed in to a paste? Rinse w/ vinegar water?
Hydrogen peroxide mixed in as well? ------------- |

Has anyone tried the traffic lane cleaners from VacAway? I've got their entire line and will be trying it later in the spring. |

I use prochems. Hot prespray, dwell, shampoo, rinse. I even use it lightly over the entire carpet just to speed up the job.

| Oxyclean can do some major bleaching. Leave that to your clients, you stick with the pro stuff. |

Can anyone answer this. Above post mentioned purple by ZEP. I remember this guy at Eatons who trained me when I worked there and he used to swear by this product from home depot he called purple. I don't know if this is the same ZEP purple but he used it in a spray bottle on traffic lane areas and it seemed to work well. does anyone use this. ------------- JUST WATCHING AND LEARNING |

Zep was making it for HD in Canada. (I believe) -------------

Not really, There is not any mention of religion at all on our site. We took a huge entrepreneurial risk just having a "Different" company name. It could have been Florida Carpet Care, West coast CC , PRO-this that, etc... It is a Business model founded by Disciples Financial Corp. ------------- |

| The floating angels maybe? I would not call that a risk considering almost the entire population of Florida is Catholic or Christian (possibly gangbangers). Its not a bad thing. I know a guy that does window cleaning, called his business holy cross window cleaning. Guess where he gets his work from. Lets just say he goes to church alot. |

Ah the floating angels......sometimes they are present sometimes not. It's just a design thing we are working on, cant seem to get them just right. Right now they are not floating. But it is a risk, if it were not you would see many more similarly named business. ------------- |
