I think it's Chris Straker. Can't imagine him leaving marks though.

They do have a contract cleaning company in there, ironically KGB but they let me do carpets in residences & upholstery throughout. They have had issues with contract cleaners and I now get to clean public areas prior to Budget & state opening etc ....... when the whole world gets to see it at it's best  ;)

Oh and PS ....... I don't leave any marks ....... soil or wand type ....... or else I would have been replaced long before now and been there about 8 or so years now. Part of the reason I do public areas for special occasions, is that they seem to use crb & powder in many areas ..... hence the need for annual thorough extraction  ;)

Off there tomorrow morning, to clean twelve sofas & armchairs  ::)roll

After this was mentioned, I paid attention to carpets in building today ..... no wand or CRB marks noticed but plenty of pile distortion on the reception upholstery though. Managed to get rid of most of it, with normal brush down after extraction but did point it out as a fault from last cleaners  ;)

Mine is a Drimaster One, so sure it's not plastic  ::)roll ;D

My jobs increased once I got Jaguar 6.6 in there but maybe the results weren't noticed and it's just a coincidence  :P

Do a search on here mate. You'll find a lot of disgruntled owners/previous owners. There are a 1 or 2 exceptions though.

Personally I think you'd be better off spending your money on a more reliable, better looking machine. There are several on the market.

That took longer than I thought ......

If my clients were worried about more reliable & better looking ....... they would stop calling me in  :D

It's all a bit childish Radek. Just because you've got or had an issue with Solutions I don't see why you think it right to insult other people using their products. ???

Simon you did not read my other posts about solutions or you can not remember. Do not want to take too much of my family time to say it all again. You know it is not only about my own experience.
Solutions childish aproach to their business needs some opposite childish approach. :)
