Strangely I get more and more people making sure I don't use this system because they have not been impressed when it's been used by previous carpet cleaning companies and I have got loads of jobs because of this.

Each to their own but I don't let customers dictate to me how their carpets should be cleaned.
I find customers who do this and also ask a million questions are the ones to be wary of!

More cons than pros IMO. Can't flush out stains properly, get into corners, same with stairs & nosings.
'sawdust' left in carpet, 20 min to 30 min waiting to dry so you can hoover.

Expensive product cost compared to HWE.

I read on the Rainbow Web site a few years back that it can turn the carpet yellow

That's because it's not been vacuumed out properly.

Kerry if someone is wanting a dry clean of their carpets they must have to pay a premium I'm pretty sure it could cost more than £10 a room and also take considerably longer to do.

So people are asking for 'sawdust' carpet cleaning? Or are they asking for dry carpet cleaning?

I do quite a lot of dry carpet cleaning, a lot of customers don't supply much in the way of liquid refreshments these days.

If it's a wool carpet you will need to use the soft (gold for HOST) brushes to avoid damage to pile.
