I also want it not too heavy, as I have to carry upstairs at times.
Under 100lbs dry would be great ------------- -Refined Carpet Cleaning |

Try drying it with a bonnet. John is asking for make and model of the current machine. And how many vacs, how many stages of vac, what length hose do you use, teflon glides or S-Wand or rotary? If we knew where the starting point was we might have suggestions that apply to your desired goal. And John knows TM, portys and other methods from personal experience so it is good you have his ear. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |
