I want to start out with residential.

My basic questions are

pricing..what's the basic prices?

type solution to use with this cleaner?

also when some one wants basic cleaning or deep cleaning..what would be the difference?

should i always use some type of prespray?

how would i use this equiptment..basically do i start by weting and vacuming or weting and letting it sit for a minute.. then vacum?

also do somone know of a site with start up instructions?

also do some one have a copy of a sample flyer used to promote business?

I am in the atlanta area..thanks

First you should start with taking a few IICRC course.... I'd start off with the carpet course first. You should do this before cleaning anyones carpet

Go to the other boards that have a larger membership and think of every idea you have and do a search on it..there is a LOT of good info out here.

I agree with Mr. Steamer...take a course! It will only teach ya the basics, but it will open your mind and start the questions in your mind flowing that you will want the answers to.

Do a LOT of surfing and you will fine a ton of info!

and I wouldn't give superglide ken your credit card info if I were you! I think there have been a few people upset with his ethics in the past!
