No, but I have seen many poor ones. The real money is in marketing the selling of carpet cleaning to those that THINK they are going to make millions in the carpet cleaning business. |

The chances of a residential customer calling you back the following year is next to none anyway, for several reasons, They Move........They forget who you are.......They only clean every 2 or 3 years.........They rent a machine and do it themselves......they are the worst customers to have.......they are not loyal to you even if you would buy them a new carpet.......That's why I don't touch residential unless I need fast cash in any given month. Don't try to build an Empire, cause you're fighting a loosing battle............have you ever seen a rich person who made millions in the carpet cleaning business......................

Ya, right until she hears from her neighbor that so and so got every spot
out , " he was just fantastic. " who do you think they call next time.! Saving on buying chemicals sometimes is costing your business money. ( In lost Customers) IMHO I too do not like buying 523 different chemicals. But I do know you need one chemical that works for each circumstance you run into. That for me is 1 pre-spray and a hand full of specialty spotters. Edited by danmarck82 |

I guess I'm wrong then, 2 against 1, I suppose what works for you is the best way to go, I just want to know what happened to Mr. Steamers method....." Sorry Mam " Before I start cleaning I just want to tell you that these stains won't come out, I'll try but, you waited too long to call me. No chemical, No soap, No speciality products, No stain removal, No callback, and he still got paid. I like that system, cuts cost down quite a bit. Nightrider |

Thanks for the corrections nightrider. But I think you get my point. I have
tried after 23 years to eliminate allot of unnecessary chemicals. but I still find that the specialized chemicals do tend to work the best on what they were intended for. So I have narrowed it down to one pre-spray and a dozen or so specialty chemicals. I charge extra for specialty spots so I don't care about the price as much, as the customer is paying . I just want the best for each situation so that the customer can be satisfied. |

When I talk about red dye I do not talk of red wine and the like, I guess I get to technical in my way of thinking.....just as I get confused when someone talks of the weight of something, I see things as mass not weight.........it is not a correct measure. Nightrider |

What you say Danmarck does hold some truth, you should take a fast chemistry course and you will soon realize that your statement does not hold water. With the Exclusion of RED DYE a good all purpose cleaner should be able to take out Chocolate, mustard,latex paint and GUM is not a stain........and red dye either. Advertising & marketing makes believers like you that there is a need for 50 different brands of chemical cleaners that every household should have under the kitchen sink..........then these same people reflect their beliefs onto the workplace without any scientific knowledge Nightrider |

One cleaning chemical or solution can not perform the chemical reaction
required to be effective on stains or spots that are chemically different. What works on Gum and paint does not work on mustard. What takes out chocolate doesn't take out red Dye. DFC can be an overall excellent product. ( Yet to be publicly proven ) Just because it doesn't work on wine doesn't mean it doesn't work. I have not tried it yet, but won't rule it out as a excellent product because it doesn't take out a particular stain . Time will tell Edited by danmarck82 |

I hate it when you win. Upon your request after you were as amazed as I was removing that coffee spot with D.F.C. in our little video demo you challenged me to a wine stain. Sorry to say it only came out 75%. Oh well, Chemspec do make other products for wine stain removal. |
