I give a lot more than two Saturdays a month there sir.

I am in the middle of researching and writing the Canadian version of the IICRC HST course.

It is a prerequisite for Master Restorers status.

It is probably the most beneficial class of all of them and the least attended.

It is a good feeling.

I would also defend my country in a heartbeat.

You think you are so bright, if you are why do you pay so much tax?

I make enough money that I got a financial advisor to handle my money and learn the loopholes over paying 45%.

I'm not afraid of you at all. I come from Montreal, live with a Quebecoise woman, and find you embarrassing.

I am not a carpet cleaner, I am an IICRC Practicing Carpet Inspector and friggin proud of it.

All my techs must be IICRC certified in CCT  and if they do water damage a min. of WRT. If they don't have that basic education they don't work here.

You sound like the type of guy who cleans olefin the same way as nylon or a simple rug sucker. The know it all type of guy who I'd never hire.

Right on Lee. This forum is getting more interesting every day. Stay cool guys. I am still wondering were Doug is. If Doug went to Colorado Springs for the Acar convention hopefully he will be back and armed with more up to date information to share with those who care and even those who don't.

Thanks Lee

LEE & Greg I know your not just another carpet cleaner...but to the customer you are!

Being certified means Jack S h i t ....

Plus this isn't rocket science it's only carpet...you are not a heart specialist...you didn't do years and years at the best med school...

You spent a weekend or a few weekends getting some stupid IICRC training..

That little card you carry means CRAP....

I could train a guy in 1 hour to do what your so proud of....

I love what I do to...but listen it's nothing to talk about....

you touch piss, s h i t, pet hair, germs and all sorts of nastiness...

Afew simple rules...1) mild soap 2)prespray 3)never over wet 4)do behind all the doors 5) move as much a you can and pad 6)hit that free enterance mat on the way out

If you have never cleaned carpets before there you go...you've just been certified by Mr.Steamer Certified Carpet Cleaner

Now grab your bissell and go clean carpets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow, General Lee....relax, take a valium or librium or just go lie down for a minute or so, take a deep breath and say Bonjour Mme Lee, votre marie est tres aggressive aujourdhui. Are you feeling better General Lee, Got all that stuff off your shoulders. G__O__O__D. Now listen you freakin clown, YOU ARE A CARPET CLEANER No Sorry  A practicing carpet cleaner.

More than 2 Satursays..........Jacques Cartier Bridge can be yours for 5,000 $ with 5 tool booths  10,000$ special price cause I like you and your wife's from Quebec.

Researching & writting Canadian version IICRC....just copy it what research is there to do, Mr. Steamer wants to write a book to, you should get together.

Beneficial and least attended = NOT WORTH CRAP

IICRC gives you good feelings = who needs a wife when you can have IICRC by your side to keep you warm and cuddle with.

Defend Canada..WHY....so that they can offer you a course to take and give you 50.00$ a day to eat and after the course is finished they tell you that it only cost 17.50 a day to eat 3 meals in a restaurant, while they go piss away 450.00$ for an afternoon lunch with a friend. GOOD defend Canada I pay my taxes standing up like a man, f**k the loopholes they'll close them and then tell you one day that you owe then 500.000$ I'm too busy defending myself from them bloodsucking perverts, and backstabbing theives, Corruption is the new man in town and the Sheriff is Paul Martin.

IICRC Practicing carpet Inspector= You got me on that one

What's olefin.......what's nylon......what's a Rug Sucker........No really what's a rug Sucker.....perhaps you shouldn't hire me.....I don't know a rug sucker from a toothpick.......do they multiply ....if they do then they would be rug suckers.

HAVE A NICE DAY GENERAL LEE....JACK   NIGHTRIDER

Meanwhile, the Padman is going about his business cleanup the worlds dirty mess. Go to the post topic of OP CLEANING and take a look at PadMans work..........very impressive for a rotary machine and pad........You know what I'm going to do today........go to Home Depot and purchase a car polisher, they all come with a bonnet and try to clean one of my clients chair in his restaurant. See if that works, if it does, GREAT NEW AD ON FOR EXTRA CASH.  How's that for some free advise and knowledge Mr. Steamer.........race you to Home Depot

One of the reasons why I like to keep my registration fees and dues paid up (re-IICRC) etc. is for the extreme educational value that courses, meetings and conventions offer me not to mention rubbing shoulders with people smarter than I am.

If you think education is expensive try ignorance.

Carpetologist ...no one said ignorance...I always preach training and experience...If you gave a Kleen kuip Certification I would take it....

But I just can't help feeling disgust once a year when I have to send my dues to IICRC for nothing...this is the last year anyways....

Carpetologist do your classes ...give the training I'm all for that...but really make your students learn 200-600 bucks for a two day course I think thats unreasonable...where the instructor is just spoon feeding you the right information to high light and remember...naw naw I don't buy that...there is really no hands on...naw naw...

A guy like me is bad for the business..I feel that the carpet cleaner gets it from all sides.....

* you get it from your peers(you need to be certified)(cut throat pricing)

* you get it from the suppliers(once it has anything to do with carpet cleaning it cost a fortune)

* you get from the service repair men

* you get it from the customer

There alot of money to be mad and even more to be spent...and if you don't watch your bottom line you'll go broke......so one has to take steps to cut cost...

Don't be affraid to think out the box

Your the bigger man on the canadian block...the little man doesn't hear about this kind of stuff...plus once you've taken the course and passed why pay the dues, for a new letter that most of us never get...If I want to know more about IICRC I'll check the website...thank you very much....

Once you see IICRC is a business...YES A BUSINESS....and they are really not here to better the carpet cleaning world....yes that might happen along the way...but IICRC's purpose is to make money

I'll probally get kicked for that ...but it's the truth...and the truth shall set you free

nothing is impossable. it just hasn't been done yet.

It is great that everybody is IICRC certified. Education and experience =
$$$$$ for all. However i believe hands on training is where you learn all
you class room info. Good courses show you why and how a procedure or
product works or does not work. I attend approx. 20 IICRC courses a year
most of them are wrt asd amrt fire & smoke & Odor and find this of the
students. FIRST they say they just need the IICRC certificate for the
insurance company they work for. NEXT ( if ) they have a good instructor
that shows how and why a technique or product works with hands on
response is WOW i learned alot of techniques i did not know. Finally if and
only when hands on training is avaiable and not just a power point course
response is awesome course. Now after saying all this IICRC should make
sure all instructors teach awesome courses for a reasonable price! Funny
thing is most of us do not like to be taken advantage of.
