Don One of my fondest memories was when you took me out one night to teach me how to operate a truckmount. If i recall you were laughing at me when i couldn't even pick up the darn wand off the carpet! It was a great group of people. i do agree with you in that the IICRC has taken away the role of education. Many associations tied only to carpet cleaning have certainly suffered. However, i will add that the IICRC does offer some great benefits. |

Mr. Steamer: I am glad you mentioned the Legion I think I get my 25 year pin this year or maybe 30 I forget. I recall attending the OPCCA certification seminar with Don and Peter instructing the cource which was top notch at the time. But as time went by companies did not want to pay for 2 certifications one being OPCCA and the other being IICUC, so the rest is history.

Don't count the IICRC as dead my friend, they will be around for many a year. Great schools available in all subjects, alot of first class instructors. I don't like the politics that go on behind closed doors, however, bit by bit they are addressing them. Best place to go for education. |

According to my last figurers there is over 220 million sq ft of commercial carpet in the GTA, it is out there for the taking.

Mr Steamer, Ask what not your industry can do for you but what you can do for your industry. Now three months ago I would not dare to have said this but Steamer you have agreed upon education and purchase a product other than soap & water in the last week. Praise the Lord...You have been reborn. |

Mr. Steamer: The born again cleaner. As baptized by Ted Harding of Later Day Saints. Personally I thought Steamer was posessed back in the earily days . Ted an exorcism may be needed on the 19th??

Chemicals are just a crutch...once you get reliant on them it cripples your cleaning abilities... if you don't have that one certain favorite chemical you might not be able to clean... I've been using proxi for the last week... now every spot I see I want to proxi it...I'm half way through a jug... what did I use before proxi..?? how did I ever survive....???we'll see if I can live without when it's done.. As for IICRC I know people that put it on their Ads and not one member on the crew is certified....lol it's a joke Ted start your own organization...you and Jim Darling...maybe something better will happen...and I don't have to keep sending those damn Yankees my Yankee dollars |
