Sometimes when I explain pad cleaning I tend to go overboard and explain too much and either confuse or bore the customer.

Probably because I am sold on the process and want to get too technical.

Let me simplify...

If you already know how bonnet cleaning works then I explain the equipment used offers.

1. Five times more mechanical action.
2. The Egyptian cotton pad offers five times more absorption power.
3. The chemistry involved offers Encapsulation Technology.
4. Results are a clean, crisp carpet that dries faster and will never wick-back.

P.S.
I forgot to mention you always charge more money for this process.

Why?

Because the customer would never believe you if you claimed DRY CLEANING at steam prices.

Go figure.

I will have to see Andy, that is a long ways and already my trip is scheduled for 8800 miles..

I do look forward to coming to Toronto a little later as well, eager to meet many of you here... Yeah, even the NightRider..LOL

500 miles North of Vancouver

approx. 500 miles west of Calgary,,maybe a bit more.

KINDA inbetween

This man says he can use 150 pads on a job.....thats the trick....

I'm doing it right now on heavy traffic areas...like stairs and in front the couch...just with my hand held terry cloths...the results are amazing...I don't need heavy duty traffic lane any more...

Padman...no need to sell me....I hope I can afford a machine by the time you get here...cuz I'm sold..

Good try DOug, have you SEEN or TRIED using a towel (100% cotton teri) behind your HWE? If so you would want to state that there is a lot of soil left after your DEEP cleaning...

Andy, how far are you from Vancouver? We are going to be there with WIlly, if you are close, we will come up, but that late in the trip we might not have the time to come up too far.

I would love to clean some NASTY carpet with you.. I love watching the looks on HWE guys faces when they SEE what I am talking about.

As to Oreck, the LowBoy is made for hard surface and the orbitor is cheaply made, we usually take the long handle off and use it for stair cleaning until we came out with the Brat.

Our costs are considerable higher, but then again we do things only carpet cleaners would bother spending the money to do. For one example, the bolts that hold the fork to the base go through TWO sets of bearings to ensure smooth and long lasting dependability. Sure just a bolt is about 40 dollars cheaper, but then cheaper has never been our goal.

I hate to say this but you guys all fell for Ted's digital pics.  when I was there the carpet didn't look any different.  He doctored the pics??????????? Just my opinion 

He told me he spilled some Hide there and was using to bonnett to clean it up.

looks more like a bonnet than a pad.

Hey John,I always have some NASTY apartments that I'm putting off cleaning.

Mostly berbers so the jiggly should really shine

I'm also friends with alot of the CC's around here

(sales???)

Well Padman I don't think you will have a problem getting dirty carpet.

Ted's showroom is nasty.

Drive right on up to the front door 

Give Ted a date and I will be sure to have people there to see your demo.

The dirt in the carpet goes up and up right into the Pad.....Doug could you explain how the dirt would be going down????
