My Advice is get training before you even go near a carpet with your machine!!!

Will do sherco.Just doiung family and freinds at the minute.Do you think the machine will do long term.Getting good results just need some good training like you say.Just wondering also wat you meen by "your machine!!!"

courses in my opinion are a rip off dont learn much... you would be better saving your money went on ncca course and have learned more from one job than what i did on the course in saying that the folder they give you is pretty handy

I Think courses are a must for new start ups (like my self) i have only been CC cleaning for just over a month. But some of the lads you meet there are good uns and can give ya good advice. Plus when you are paying for the training you get it straight from the horses mouth. I have been on three courses 2 with Derek Bolton  1 with Paul Moss. Must say they both know there stuff in depth. but i preffered the Paul Moss course.
Others may tell you of another course they preffered, Just my opinion.

Paul.
And there are some gud uns on this forum.

The majority of jobs will be perfectly straight forward but unless you know how to deal with the 5% that are not you will find yourself in a lot of trouble. Too have an opportunity to learn from the most experienced cleaners in this business and to have them as a resource I believe is folly to ignore. I find you get out what you put in and mixing with like minded folk is a real bonus. Training is tax deductable, invest now and you could save a fortune.

Your machine is perfectly fine and if looked after will serve you well. I use a tripple vac machine, it does not make me better, but it does make me more efficent. Most here have used twin vacs and built a very successfull business with them.
