Go buy all those fancy chemical

Go out of business

Why do people around here insist on pretending that this industry is about quantum physics or something?   Some people just are really desperate to have some letters after their names....education is great and all...BUT... if you get the carpets clean (by whatever means necessary), the customer is happy, wants you to come back and you walk out of the house with your payment in your pocket...what else is more important than that?

Look, the owners of this site are fantastic....I have learned reams and reams from Ted and others.  I will say though....my wife refuses to buy Windex when vinegar cleans the mirrors just fine..........

Why would you say I make money off of all my volunteer work, when the people you claim to respect, will tell you that I don't.

You see, I will not be held up to slanderous ridicule by a loud mouth by you. I read your posts for the first time in a long while tonight and just couldn't stay silent.

This is supposed to be a place to share ideas. You can try and ridicule me all you want, however I CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVE IT.

As a matter of fact for almost every class I organize, I actually have to pay for them AND if you care to place money on it I can prove it asshole.

and after all that you call me Schmuck...maybe you should take a business course...it'll help you manage your money better....I Don't know anyone who does things at a loss...not if your in business to make money!

Adwa I never walk away....I know my job and I know how to make money...and I'm not kill my customers with chemicals..

These are just my opinions...I just suggest

not like the rest of people here that think they know it all, and only have one way of cleaning....and every other way is wrong.

I have to be fighting the same battle in all different areas..

I don't care go cry to TED...people here can't discuss as men

Gentlemen    (Lilniteridrhood and Mr. Steamer)

I was enjoying your debate last night in this post and in the topic Area Rugs. It felt like every one on line was waiting to see who said what next. We were learning.

If any one knows the hard work, hours of volunteer and dedication that you Lilnite puts into our industry it is me.

No method or idea is written in stone, there will always be resistance and debate and so it should be how else would we continue to learn.

Mr. Steamer gets frustrated and falls back on the one thing he knows will get to you (Making money on Seminars) and walks away.

Lilnite falls for it every time, gets mad, resorts to name calling and walks away.

You both have so much to offer and maybe it was the late hour and you  were tired from a long day,  but you end up fighting like little boys and Gentlemen that is what I call Sad.

Thats only because you aren't in the league of people with the knowledge of how to clean these things.

By the way,

Mr. Steamer, Stanley and steamdragon===

all the same people.

Still very limited knowledge.

Some people come here to learn.

Some people come here to shout any and everyone else down.

damn right...if the set is worth 10,000 dollars./..you should charge 10% (industry standard) ...the customer doesn't want to pay that....why would you clean it for a couple hundred and risk damaging the furniture.....just because it can be cleaned...doesn't mean clean it...you have to get paid..

 

Let guys like Lil Hood clean it....and if it gets wrecked he can afford the 10,000 bucks to replace it.

It was a nice explanation Lilhood...but I'm sure what you said there is crap...put it layman's terms so a dummy like me can understand it.

it's illegal to quote right from the book

Our techs all carry 2 different dye locks. One for cotton and rayon and another for wool and silk.

When you use solutions of high alkalinity colours will bleed eventually.

The other problem is that often there are fugitive dyes in new textiles. Its like cleaning new blue jeans when the blue dye runs or even crocks.

The dyelocks take care of those fugitive dyes.

Of course you can try the wet/dry/ wet, but you still need to make sure that the solvents are being properly ventilated.

We still use Capture and dry foam sometimes too.. Harry insists encapsulating furniture is effective.

OR YOU CAN FOLLOW MR. STEAMER's industry guru- like advice and not    clean it.
