Methods of choice

Well Mr. N-I-G-H-T-R-I-D-E-R, I can tell by your posts that you have SOME knowledge.

However your streams of expletives aimed at the Padman who has been my acquaintance for a few years now relegates you to moron.

I own one of the Padman's machines and I have upgraded the motor on it too.

I doubt he will guide you to his website, but I will tell you, it is extremely rare to see one of his machines for sale on Ebay. I also use his chemicals.

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I only use safe chemistry.

I don't think you deserve the right to use his machine and process.

Although John chooses not to be my friend, I still admire him greatly and refuse to listen to him be talked to that way without saying something.

First off so you understand, I DO NOT BONNET CLEAN. PERIOD.. NEVER.

Now if we have that figured out, then let's move on. If you want to discuss OP or pad cleaning we can do that, and I will show you that cleaning lasts LONGER with OP than with HWE. This isn't a popularity contest, I am not trying to impress you, however, the FACTS will get out and win out over OPINION.

Now, we can discuss this method being you now know I DON"T clean like you THOUGHT I did.

Whew, glad that is over!

I will admit anything concerning the method that is TRUE, but will say NOTHING that is bogus just because it conforms to the BELIEFS of those who haven't used this method.

I don't blame you for chickening out, if would have been embarrassing for you after all the noise you made over the issue.

Thank you for all the names, and such great understanding that you exhibit, you are really an industry leader and I should truly follow your ways and your footsteps.

Don't be afraid of things you know little or nothing about Jack, learning is OK ,it is actually considered GOOD in some circles.

Just here to help!

The fact is my friend, is that I probably forgot more than what you know or will ever know.Hold on , I have to re-read what you wrote, somethings very strange here.da da da da da da da  da  O.K I'm back. Alright PadMan First before you use any scientific words or any extrapolations thereof ,please know how to spell them. COLLOIDAL ( but I'm sure that was just a typo ) Colloidal Silver does  kill bacteria but the product cost would be too great to apply in carpet cleaning solutions, so whoever told you that malarkie took an acient known medical fact and applied that knowledge to todays technology using 1/1000,000 of a fraction and added it to the list of ingredients of a given product ( which is legal ) check the data sheet, I'm sure it's the last item listed, therefore indicating the least thereof. In order for colloidal silver to be effective it must be delivered in a dose of between 10-15 ppm directly into the human digestive tract to have any beneficial effects. The cost of this stuff is perhaps in the 60.00$ to 100.00$ canadian for a 500ml bottle. You would have to use (1) 500 ml bottle to every 10 gallons of hot water to kill any and all bacteria in the carpet plus there would have to be a dwell time of at least an hour to be effective, and besides WHO GIVES A sh*t WHAT BACTERIA LURKS IN THE CARPET OF A CUSTOMERS HOUSE.......THEY SURE DON'T.......YOU MORON..........WANT TO KNOW HOW I KNOW..........'CAUSE BEFORE YOU SHOWED UP THEY HAVEN'T CLEANED THEIR CARPET FOR 2 OR 3 YEARS.....THEY WERE VERY HAPPY LIVING WITH THEIR BACTERIA, DUST MITES, AND CARPET BEETLES BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG WITH YOUR DYNOMITE COLLOIDAL SILVER CARPET REMEDY.........ARE YOU FREAKIN NUTS, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS...........WE'RE NOT FREAKIN DOCTORS, OR BIO-CHEMISTS, LISTEN TO ME GET THAT STETHOSCOPE OUT OF YOUR ASS, CHANGE YOUR HAT AND PUT ON THE ONE THAT SAYS CARPET CLEANER......Now go clean some carpets, and stop acting stupid.......Have a nice day.

LOL Jack, one of two things is true here, either you are an old geezer to blind to see anything different, of you simply haven't tried a lot of things.

Science and knowledge?  It isn't science or knowledge that turns a blind eye, that can also be ignorance or overconfidence in something someone TOLD you. Proof is in the pudding and I bet we leave LESS in the carpet chem wise than you do, well, less dirt too!

I love the debate of HWE over bonnet, well actually I OP (oscillating Pad) and hopefully will get the chance this year to come to Canada and then we can TEST your theory about cleaning.

I have spent my life (last 30 years anyway) proving guys with that attitude wrong, I come to THEIR place, have them send me to THEIR problem carpets and then have THEM say, OOPS, I guess I was wrong..LOL

Now I have the pleasure of doing this for a living. Just listening to you talk about the stickiness and the chems,  and know that you know VERY little about this method of cleaning.

Where you at in Canada? I want to wager a bet with you!

Many methods will do a great job IF the technician knows what he is doing, HWE while having full reign for many years is NOT the only way to clean nor anywhere near the ONLY way to get a carpet really clean.

But I am always willing to back that up by SHOWING you!
