I have mentioned above, that I DO ACTUALLY RINSE and always have done, but with water and have never had any problems with this, also, I have suggested that at the end of the day, the attitude, application, pride and a desire to deliver value, can often give superior results, over many, who may have all the theoretical knowledge in the world, but fail to apply themselves.

Obviously, the products used, method of delivery, quality of aggitation and thoroghness in rinsing will have a major bearing.

This is one of the reasons, I've always been a fan of the CFR system.

You are absolutely right about " the eye of the beholder "and just yesterday I had the great pleasure of calling in to treat a spill in a regular's  home...............What was pleasing, was the fantastic condition of the carpets we'd cleaned six month's ago, particularly, as they were in a pretty sad condition when we inherited the client from a worldwide franchise company.

Incidentally, I was only commenting on our good fortune in having, naturally acidic water, with the obvious benefits, but was curious about the response I might get !!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't take my ramblings personally CG....

it has long been an issue with me on how clean is clean and who has the right to determine whether an item is really clean.

I remember well a freshly cleaned carpet I saw many years ago and was asked to treat it with a protector...  I had just treated a brand new carpet for the lady...

this second carpet had been cleaned the previous day by another cleaner.. I asked the client if they were happy with the clean as I hadn't carried out the work and they replied that they were quite happy. I still declined to treat the carpet as I didn't consider it clean...and it was quite a poor job actually

Hence my how clean is clean and who decides remark.

There are well documented criteria for cleaning carpets and soft furnishings...we are in a high risk business so I cannot understand why some technicians rush to break rules just to save a few minutes when there is the chance it could result in a rectification call back or replacing the item cleaned

Agnes

No it wasn't lack of testing..the cleaner in question had tried to rectify another problem not of his making and used an inapropriate chemical or procedure....I would clarify and say procedure which included an inapropriate chemical

Great post. I'm a newbie going on next week's NCCA course and your post sorted out many wonderings I had with regard to "what chemical on what?"

Just one other thing - what about "Multi Pro"?

Cheers
