Do you clean them in the house? Or do you send them out for

cleaning?

Both

 

we clean many in the homes, but if we have to take them out, we charge much more and we flood them.

 

.50 a square in the house

3.00 -3.50 a square foot if we take them out.

 

How about you?

Well Stanley, the companies who have done rug thelongest have a special table and use a chlorine bleach solution.

We use bleach or Rx or H2O2or a shampoo.

The first three cannot be used safely on most hard floors or broadloom.

We do about 50 area rugs a week there big shot. Your "soap" can't do the job thats needed in most cases, guaranteed.

Stanley;  You seem to flip flop alot.  One day you do the next you don't one day you are for the next you are against.  One thing you are consistant who ever looks like they know what they are talking about you try to hang onto their shirt tale.  Why with a tm and tide would you reccommend sending anything out?  Are you not the MASTER STEAMER??

do you use powder or liquid tide.

Lilniterider

The answer to the question about fringes is easy. Read the Tide Label.

IT WHITENS AND BRIGHTENS AS IT LIGHTENS 

kEEP USING THAT PRODUCT STANLEY. MY STOCK CHEQUE'S KEEP ROLLING IN.

I post a lot of things...really I want to see who really knows what they are talking about...I could be on any side...I could be pro...I could be con..

I will say one thing.... I ain't AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH...

I'm not some dumb carpet cleaning hick....What ever I post here I've looked into...it's tried tested and proved..

Why do you all feel treated by me...I take more attacks than anyone...I don't put down the way you clean...I just tell you what I know to be possible...

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink...

Why are you not will to see what I tell you is true.....

Yes it's true...I don't like to clean area rugs in the house.....there is more to it than just soap steam and water....most area rugs are not your everyday nylon...most are wool..with fringes...some cost in the 10 thousands...better to send it out for a much better job

I'm sorry my post do not conform to the text book...

I'm sorry I like to look for alternative soaps, and not named brand

But Most of all I'm sorry for all the people that are not open minded to all methods of cleaning and cleaning solution...

Don't knock it until you've tried....If you truly haven't tried it then I don't think you have the right to comment until you do
