top tip from our worker back in the office cleaning days - if he went into a clean office he used to just drag his foot along the carpet to look like it was vacuumed lol

so do we electric vac or foot vac ? ....... we have been known to use the foot vac method  lol

another trick he used to do,  when window cleaning,  empty clean offices is the - open blind close blind - next window and repeat method  lol 

very bad pratice imo

Same as Mark now, never vac.
Used to.
If I go out to quote they usually say should I vac
before you come to which I reply just give it a quick
run over.

For those that say they always vacuum, are you doing it for the customers sake or just for own satisfaction ?

If we end of doing things for our own mental well being then were not really maximising pofits on each job.

Its easy to get bogged down with procedure, but surely not every carpet needs exactly the same treatment.

The way I look at it is, the easy carpets that dont need it balance out the ones you have to spend extra time on.

I vac on almost every job unless it def doesnt need anyway. I couldnt get away with not vaccuming as all my wands have the origional holed not hybrid glides on so they would clogg up with debris in no time :

any body with a truckmount just stick a vacuum tool on the vacuum hose and pre-vac with that? sure beats the hell out a Sebo!!

I have a filter box fitted to catch all the crap so any carpet that needs a vac gets dry truckmounted, stairs are a doddle with a vacuum brush fitted.

Ashbys sold a water filteration kit so portables could dry vack but it does not appear to be popular,

Robert Saunders claimed he invented one but it did not sell well

I read  a few months ago someone thought you could make your own out of Henry parts

just like stain removal this takes time so if the customer wants to save some money they they can do it. if not then they can pay me to do it the right way.

we have our customers trained up they vac, empty rooms, they get full instructions on parking, vacing, moving stuff, putting beds on their sides, etc in a letter the day before the job
