John L,
I would say this must have taken you atleast 300 to 400 back-and-forth strokes with the wand. You did an excellent job but a Rotovac 360 would eat that up with ease on the bones and allowed you energy for sex that night.
Hope you did not sweat too much. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |

I was thinking that it wouldn't be heavy enough to scrub. But man to sure turned out looking good. Maybe a cheap addition to my tools. ------------- do it right once |

My wife bought it at a yard sale for $5.00 and she gave it to me ...
You don't need heavy 75lb-100lb rotary to agitate....

JohnL The carpet came out great...It just goes to show what a small nothing machine can do......it also confirms what I've always said " Some Spit & a Little Scrub With The Bottom of My Shoe Can Clean A Carpet "
The only problem with these concepts is that you should never show the customer a tool that they can get themselves and do on their own...........Who needs a carpet cleaner after that...........it,s a fast way to put yourself " OUT OF BUSINESS " CARPET LOOKS GOOD THOUGH

nightrider, They never saw it and without a great prespray they would never get my results ... Been using it for over a year and my biz has doubled....
I guess it all depends on how you look at things...thanks

Just pulling your leg JohnL......nothing wrong with the way you clean......do what you have to do..........I've cleaned commercial carpets in the past with a garden hose and a Sears vaccuum, in my own restaurant I've used a Turbo hardfloor unit with a Karcher high pressure machine and a Drain-Vac vaccuum.......I've done it all.........and no matter what you do the carpet looks great and gets clean.............CARPET CLEANING IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE......BEAT IT WITH A BROOM OR RUB IT AGAINST A ROCK IN THE LAKE, OR USE A TRUCKMOUNT..........IT ALL COMES OUT CLEAN...........WHATEVER WAY YOU GO........THERE'S ALWAYS CONSEQUENCES.......SOME GOOD.........SOME BAD
