Because they are like used car salesmen. They arn't looking to build a customer base, they are looking to make a quick buck. The more carpets they can clean without having to buy chem's the more money they make. It is a recipe for disaster.
 
These are the same customers that are shocked when you pre vac and ask you "what is that" when you break out the grandi groomer and groom their carpet.
 
In my opinion God Bless these Rat Turds. They are the reason your customer found you and they are the reason that it will be so much easier to retain that customer and build residual income where you are not chasing new customers but just servicing repeat customers. Three chears for the turd brains !!!!!
 
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately some of these people are apprehensive about having their carpet cleaned after having a bad experience with the "Rat Turds". But when they see how it's supposed to be done and the results of a thorough cleaning it often leads to several referals.Smile
I've actually had customers think my vacuum was the cleaning unitConfused. WTF, did the guy before me use a hoover or bissell?

How do you like the backpack vac? Are they very comfortable, and do they do a good job? I use bridgepoints zone perfect prespray and their endzone rinse and have had real good luck with it. I just ordered some Judsons 02 prespray and rinse and will post my results after I give it a shot.]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:55:46 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=142111&title=need-some-chem-help#142111 <![CDATA[Need Some Chem Help : Sorry its been a few days but...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=142097&title=need-some-chem-help#142097 Author: B Rice

I tried ProChems stuff,  had ok luck with it.  Am always trying new stuff, in the past have also used Bridgepoint, hydramaster, CTI, and now trying out Banes.  So far the best stuff that I have used was Bridgepoints. The filtration lines you are seeing on the edges and under doors are a little harder to get out and will take some time.  There is a product called filter out that works pretty well.  You do have to brush and use a crevice tool though, like I say its going to take some time.  For really bad traffic lanes and very soiled carpet, would use a good emulsifier with the pre-treatment.  Carpet won't be soft when it tries but will be cleaner, then next time do a good acid rinse.  ]]> Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:11:03 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=141997&title=need-some-chem-help#141997 <![CDATA[Need Some Chem Help : Aaron R wrote:I can&#039;t...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4896&PID=141993&title=need-some-chem-help#141993 Author: John L

How can these guys "clean" like that.. Heavy emulsifier in the solution tank or chem jug with chem meter wide open..is how.. you knew that though.. I'm sure your posted response was a figure of speech Aaron..Approve
