With (once again) many apologies, doug,

I didn't start this thread here, I responded to one of YOUR posts, andI did think that (may I quote the forum description here?) "General discussion on anything related to carpet cleaning" means thisdiscussion is on topic.

Please, after you tell us where your marvelous stats come from, educateme on HOW this discussion could be construed as off topic.  Maybeit belongs in the ceiling fan forum?  Or is there a special forumfor ceiling fans with LARGE motors? 

I haven't said you were avoiding any issues, but I'm feeling the breeze from some ducking and weaving....


Cheers!

-Allen "Surround Sound" Surroundings

Mr. surround sound:  I do not want ot sound like I am avoiding the issue. There is a section on portable carpet machines.  This is to try and keep people on topic.  Have a good day.Guitar]]> Sun, 04 Jul 2004 07:43:57 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=333&PID=4872&title=how-to-section#4872 <![CDATA[HOW TO SECTION : Many apologies, doug.... you did...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=333&PID=4870&title=how-to-section#4870 Author: surroundings

Many apologies, doug.... you did not actually mention a truckmount, youthrew a "give me a break" at the suggested option of placing a portablein the garage. 

You have thrown yet another expert statistic into the discussion...first it was 98% humidity (and rising), which is pretty extreme and asof yet not backed up by anything solid, now we have you claiming that aceiling fan with a "large motor" is needed to vent my portable. Is this from your own experience using portables recently, or is thissomething you have researched, or did you just kinda make it up? Perhaps just a little?

Never mind, I've answered this question for all: you permanently have a disclaimer at the bottom of your posts that explains it.

Glad that's cleared up!

Mr. Surrond Sound.  I didn't mention anything about a truckmount.  This is in regards to your thinking that an exhaust fan has enough power to draw the exhaust from your portable.  If that was true the fan would be the size of a ceiling fan with a very large motor attached.  In reality they move very little air. Maybe down under they do have very large exhaust fans.  Do they have all their belongings nailed to the floors just incase they get sucked outside?  Guitar]]> Sat, 03 Jul 2004 15:52:41 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=333&PID=4865&title=how-to-section#4865 <![CDATA[HOW TO SECTION : doug wrote:Well Mr surround...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=333&PID=4863&title=how-to-section#4863 Author: surroundings

Portable mentality... you mean a 'GO anywhere' mentality?  Because that's what I have...

Oh, I want a truckmount.  It'll help my set up times wonderfully, but I'm not trading in the FX-88-HP! 

You're not looking at real life here, mate, you're regurgitating atruckmount partyline that MIGHT have been true years ago, but is nomore valid then saying that cell phones will never take off becausethey're bulky, full of static, and overpriced. 

I cut my teeth on a truckmount.  I was 13 years old cleaninginvestment quality Persian rugs for my old man's business everyweekend.  Don't think that I'm some start-up newbie with a 2-jetwand and no clue.  You go spouting off stats like you're ACNielson surveys, but theres no reality behind them.

Come on over down under, and I'll take you to a few jobs.  Settingup in the garage is no different then your truckmount parked at the endof the drive, pal. 

Cheers,

Allen

Doug,
A bit of thought from the carpet cleaner avoids this issue.  Manytimes I set up in a kitchen, laundry, or bathroom and all of thosetraditionally have exhaust vents or fans to remove the humidity fromthe room.  Turn the fan on.  Looky that... problem solved.

When I can, I set up in the garage, so it's not even an issue.  Iam interested in your statistic of 98% humidity though... to quote MarkTwain, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Back it up, mate.

Cheers,

Allen

i agree with having a step by step forum.  i am new to this field and am need of assistance myslef.  I have done a lot of research but I know that getting advice from people who are actually out in the field is much better.  The way I see it is that I'm sure that everyone in this forum is from a different location so why be afraid to give out information.  If information, advice and so on is not what you want to give than why even be in this forum? 

www.baneclene.com  also carry those door curtains for less than $100 and I believe www.jondon.com and www.magicwandco.com as well.

Nighthawk:  First of all what are the surfaces covered with?  Wallpaper? semi gloss paint?  flat latex paint?  Is this clean for repaint or for finish appearance?  These are a few things to take into consideration when determining which method and what product to use for the job.  Are the baseboards painted the same as the walls? Or painted with an oil, or stained?  More info please.Guitar]]> Fri, 07 May 2004 16:13:07 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=333&PID=3722&title=how-to-section#3722
