To be a CLEANING SPECIALIST you will need specialist knowledge/ training/ chemicals/ machinery
Turn up at a job with nothing the customer has or has access to................ or else how can you charge them with confidence

Me again , i have more to say , i feel redeemed by the some of the gods comments on here.

Just  came into my mind , but remember repeat business should be a goal to save you advert money in years 2 and onwards of your plan for world cleaning domination.
I reckon even if you are wizzo with a rug doctor, and perform a clean of such quality it puts me to shame, The satisfied customers husband will think i can do that next year myself with one of those rental machines ,those machines work well,  

Every normal red blooded bloke wants to play with toys like this really. the reason they dont is because the wife remembers the wonky shelves and doesn't let him loose with one on her carpet.

Nuff said

All the best

Robert,

The overfill valve/lint-filter is designed to pull off for cleaning, which I do at least onece a day. Capping the vac pipe makes sense when pressure-washing the waste tank - I find the plastic cap of a aerosol can fits well.

For the pressure wash I have a male quick-connect with a male-threaded tee jet screwed into the hosetail thread. This simply attatches to the solution hose in the normal manner and I find I can reach even the most awkward corners with ease.

If  the tank coating is being obstinate, I have a loo brush, with cut-down handle for this.

Whilst tank cleaning, use a cylindrical bottle brush, from inside the tank, to remove the fluff and grit from the bottom of the gate valve slot - this will allow the gate valve to fully close, preventing dripping, and air ingress whilst running.

John.

sorry i did not mean do hurt any ones felling when i asked i ho;d my head in shame    

Incredible  
So-called professionals using equipment any Tom, D*ck or Mary can hire from their local store.
Get fair dinkum - either you're a professional carpet cleaner, or a do-it-yourselfer...
I'm not suggesting you go out and buy a TM straight away, but the image you are projecting with this course of action only serves to lower our reputation as professionals.

Hi Jim

I don't think that there was anything wrong in what you had to say, as this can be taken on board by people or not. It was a valid point which will make people think, just as the replies were valid points.

At the end of the day people can read the veiws of a wide spectrum of carpet cleaners and make more informed decisions about the equipment that they are going to invest in.

Every one should keep their input flowing.

Regards

If the Rug Doctor is not a Profesional Machine why do Express Cleaning Supplies our sponsors sell them.

Why are they advertised on the back of Cleaning Matters.


However in conclusion I did stop using Rug Doctor for very reasons stated.

However I am still looking for a light machine suitable for Female Operatives, that looks the part.
