What % of home owners do you think are DIY in CANADA? and where are they renting from? I recently heard some mind boggling numbers from the US that most people clean their own!

I think there's a huge untapped market for the rental of professional portables. The crap they rent out at the store is a joke. People would glandly pay extra for a powerful porty, if they were informed and knew where to get their hands on one.

I disagree. If they were willing to pay more, they would just hire the cheapest guy in town and pay the same price.Wacko

For the 15% of oily soil that a vacuum will not remove, we should be thankful that most peole don't vacuum as often as they should. Let that oily soil go to work and attrack more soil until the appearance is no longer acceptable
