Handi-groom... I can't believe how few people use these or mention them ???

Perfect for getting along edges, not only on filtration soil but for getting moth larvae out as well ;)

Also groom stairs up nicely after cleaning ;)

Several years ago I invested in a crevice tool and when I come up against perimeter draught marks on light carpets I concentrate the prespray onto the edges more than normal. Where the aggitation machine does not reach the edge of the room we get a pile brush to aggitate in then extract with the crevice tool around the edges, after finishing wanding the room. It is a lot easier than getting on your hands and knees and it gives a superb result. The impression that it leaves the customer with is well worth the cost of the tool and the extra 2 or 3 minutes it adds to the time on each room. I have worked with many carpet cleaners but have not seen anybody else using one and find that fact surprising......... It is now something that my regulars take for granted.

Mike i had a brush like that and snapped the handle :'( so i cut it off flush drilled a hole and used an old saucepan handle with a butterfly nut to create any angle and save the back of my nuckles.

God knows where it is now if i find it might take it on dragons den ::) ;D
