Hi all,
I run a contract cleaning company in the UK.
Thought i'd have a look on here and see how you guys do things differently.
Nice forum mods

Interesting stuff, but i don't think i'd fancy doing it . Questions about Trauma cleaning come up on some of the forums in the UK, but there doesn't seem to be alot of people that are willing to comment for some reason. I know it's big money, so maybe they don't want to give away to much info ------------- www.scsf.co.uk |

There are quite a few people who don't have the intestinal fortitude to do that type of work and if they do, some would rather not talk about it. I don't think there are any real secrets but the pay can be excellent. The risks are also high -------------

There's a IICRC trainning school in the UK, who do trainning courses in Trauma aswell as other areas of the industry. The guy who does the trauma training comes over from the US to teach. I can't remember his name but when it comes to me i'll post it, as he seems to be well known within the industry. ------------- www.scsf.co.uk |

Over hear he teaches at the Hydramaster place in the UK, but as far as i know he only teaches carpet cleaning there. Everyone says he's a first rate guy both in terms of knowledge and he can hold a classes attention with his antics ------------- www.scsf.co.uk |
