Carpet Shampooing is one of the most common and oldest carpet cleaning methods. The foam plus the chemicals extract the dirt from the carpet.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:05:15 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6946&PID=164189&title=shampooing#164189 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6946&PID=164105&title=shampooing#164105 Author: duckcountry

My second carpet cleaning job was at Millers in San Gabriel in 1977.

I worked for a company that shampooed first the extracted with a porty. Worked fine in the 80's.

Agreed - if in my area the average home price for a given neighborhood is under $250k in today's market, they are not people what can afford a healthy existence with the disposable income I need them to have.  Stanley does homes like the under-qualified all day.  I prefer to not work that hard.

But, I never want it to be said I don't offer a over-the-top package :)  For the right kind of money I will gas up that old jalopy they are driving.

If that is the only type of cleaning you are doing go for it, however, your triple method should do an excellant job, problem is people that let their carpets get in that condition will not pay the dollars you will need to make it profitable. The best customers are the ones that maintain their carpets on a regular basis and do not need restorative cleaning methods.  If you want to make it in  this business you need to have all cleaning methods available.  ]]> Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:57:12 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6946&PID=163145&title=shampooing#163145 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6946&PID=163142&title=shampooing#163142 Author: duckcountry

I have a Triple Hitter cleaning method for carpet seemingly beyond hope and the owners are not concerned about warranties in this case. 

Shampoo
Rotovac
Encap with Bonnet

Generally, the carpets that need it had other things happen to them that voided the warranty long before you took a brush to them.

The moment that you put a rotary bristle brush on a shaw carpet (and that's most carpets) you void your customers warranty.

See Shaw's Warranty

Stick with up-to-date systems, why step backwards?

It would be wise for a carpet cleaner to know all carpet warranties. Many carpet cleaners are deteriorating carpets and stripping off carpet protection because they think that the strongest chemical(s) are necessary.
