 Topic: Getting started...Posted: 13/September/2007 at 1:35am |

Hey what's up all...I currently run a company doing seal coating, line striping, and some pressure washing.
I am looking at getting into steam cleaning / carpet cleaning and would like some advice on what to look for or maybe what unit to get. I have a few commercial accounts lined up, to do the carpets every 3 months at about 13 of their locations, and obviously I'll be doing residential too. I'd like to get rolling with about 2k, but if I have to get up around 4k, that would work too. Any suggestions or links would be great. -- I was checking out some links and saw a Daimer 500v that seemed pretty adequate. It has steam capabilities, tank for chemicals, and an extraction tank. How does that unit hold up, or is it garbage? Thanks a lot for the help. |

Never heard of the Daimer 500v. But, I guess you can get started with 4K (I dont think you can get anything decent with 2K). You may not get all the nice toys...But, I guess you can make it work with that amount.

With 4k you'll have to go buy a portable and all the equimpent that goes with it, like sprayers and air movers.
Don't buy that machine that Nightrider is selling above.  Edited by FriendlyHammer - 13/September/2007 at 5:53am |

Can you guys point me in a good direction as far as a place that sells good portable units and all the accessories? I mean in all fields, there are ripoffs everywhere, and you don't know that unless you experience it or someone tells you.
Also, do I need a steam unit? I mean for commercial carpet cleaning, steam is probably the way to go, right? |
