do any of you guys do carpet cleaning as an add on .thinking about pushing it to the custys .just a couple of questions. am i better getting a trolley or backpack , dont want to be dragging hoses from the van round the house. also which brush is best i use a gardiners but i think a vikan could be better for carpets ,  plus could i get away without using pure water as i recdkon you would use a fair bit on a full house. any thoughts or advice , cheers barry

Barry, if you are serious I would suggest you do a bit more research into Carpet Cleaning. You'll certainly be in all sorts of trouble if you proceed the way you intend.

Look through the posts in the CC section just for starters.

Not come on this side of the forum often Ian?

Just use your hoses, when the dirt rubs off of them on the carpet your can charge the a again for cleaning 

[mlscontractcleaner]

This is a wind up right??

Next thing you'll see is one of the carpet cleaning lads turning up and spraying the windows with their wands.

If it isn't a wind up stick to window cleaning mate; you'll be paying a fortune out in compensation otherwise lol!!!!!

Is it April already

Barry your on the right lines but save your pure water we just connect up to the outside tap and hose the carpets down, there are many carpet cleaning detergents available on the market but we find a bottle of fairy liquid usually creates a good lather after first thoroghly wetting the carpet.  A quick going over with the gutter vac usually brings the carpets up a treat.

And remeber NEVER use your scraper blade on a dry carpet.

Heyup Bazzer, best way to clean carpets is to use your backpack, boil your kettle, fill backpack with steam, switch backpack on and brush steam into the pile with your dt mono bobs your uncle

I dont think the carpets get as wet if you use trad and i think  the customers prefer it.

got my first custy , just out in the drive talking to a neighbour .so went and give him a price , gonna do it monday as it looks like a wash out for the windows. just one question there was a lot of dog muck rubbed in whats the best stuff for getting it up .cheers barry

[Ian Lancaster]

Easy: spray a couple of gallons of paraffin all over.  Chuck a match and stand clear.  When the ash cools down, hoover it all up.  Nice clean floors (unless they're the timber suspended type) and everything sterilised so no nasty dog poo bacteria to upset delicate tummies.

[William McCafferty]

failing that, shoot the dog, skin it and use it as a rug

[Nameless Drudge]

Dog poope is easy,just soften it with pure water first,agitate and rinse,rinse,rinse.

[GB Window Cleaning]

barry, just do it trad 

[davidpitts]

Barry, theres a big carpet cleaning contract up for grabs on the CC section , i've put your name forward for it ,I'll gladly accept 10% for my troubles.

[Nameless Drudge]

Don`t be tempted to  "brush and rush" and definitely don`t "slurry and hurry",if you do the job right you`ll have a full round in about 14 years.
