but if you believe what we learn on training courses, pre-vacuuming removes 85-90% of the dirt in the carpet  so the carpet will look better after just vacuuming!!

imagine if you did a quote and told the customer that you can only remove 85-90% of the dirt in the carpet and asked them if they'll be happy with that....... then just give the carpet a good vacuum and ask for your payment ;D ;D

I don't think they look that bad Colin  ;D
If there isn't enough time to do the job right,  how do we find the time to go back and do it again when the customer is not happy ?   Do it right the 1st Time.

So quote for Dry Extraction.  For a little more, we will Wet Extract.  Imagine, cleaners competing against you not know all you were delivering was a slow vacuum process.
