what would you do???

General Lee...........just ask your Grand-mother how she cleaned her rugs.......

For the hell of a promotion stunt it I've done that back in the late 80's, as a demo in a shopping center using normal people passing by who volenteered to use a brush, soap & a shop-vac........then another using an ElectroLux Shapooer........a rented grocery store portable.........and my Truckmount ( 1985 Cleanco )

The carpet came clean using all methods, but my demo was aimed for them to call me to do it faster, better ( cause the cleanablity is constant ) no mess, and they can sit and have a cup of coffee while I do all the manual labour.I did not want to try to promote that a truckmount was the best thing since sliced bread I just wanted to show them that I can do it for them using a better& faster method with less effort.

I see you still like to make this carpet cleaning stuff a science General

Anybody who has ever used tide and a bucket knows it turns brown REALLY QUICK.

I have been doing this for a long time 'rider. Its not like I haven't "been there and done that".

If you have been doing it as long as you say I am really shocked that you don't use "the oldest trick in the book". Used to be (in the early '80s)  when we got the very dirtiest carpet we just poured pails of hot water on it and sucked it right back out. Nothing did better than that. And it didn't resoil.

And as for my Gram, she beat the rugs on a cloths line.

Why do you have to have heat to do a good job..........Take a look at what Padman can do with his method.

I bought a Truckmount in 1985, was cleaning carpets for 1 month beforehand...................I wasn't a professional carpet cleaner...........I'm still not a pro, I know nothing about a carpet, I own a Chinese restaurant, I don't cook............ neither am I Chinese, I like to wear running shoes that doesn't make me an athlete.

Portables, truckmounts, bonnet cleaning, a rag & pail are all tools, it's up to you to make the best of them. How come in auto racing there is only 1 winner, they all have fast cars.........how come only 1 hockey team wins, when they start the game they are all equal.

You're the star of the show Barwbarn..........you make it all happen.........not your machine.
