Hi Nick,
It was mentioned at a meeting with you, your fellow director Tim (at the time) and Peter Blair of Axiom. I was working for Traemar Ltd at the time and attended with my colleague Tom Butcher. We were discussing the possibility of a joint venture servicing carpet-cleaning contracts across the UK. We had been using One Step for only a short time when we met up with you. We said that we were using in conjunction with truckmounted cleaning equipment at a dilution of 1to 8. You and your colleague Tim gave us some tips on its use and told us, that you were using it from 1 to 16 for carpet extraction cleaning and from 1:16 and up to 1:40 for bonnet cleaning.
I first purchased the CFR tooling to use with a truckmount and then high performance portables. Karl from Amtech UK said that I should also look at the CFR soil extractor. I had a demonstration from him and asked him for three contact numbers, yours being one of them. He mentioned to me that you had 4 or 5 CFR machines.
I certainly remember our conversation and that you also used other extraction equipment (US Products), of which I am very familiar with having owned one. However, you still said to me that the Altra Pro 1000 was an excellent machine and this was the first CFR machine I purchased in November 2002 based mainly on your advice, the others didn’t own the 1000psi model. I had also seen and spoken to you on Amtech UK’s stand at previous NCCA and NEC trade shows and you couldn’t speak highly enough of the CFR system.
With regard to One Step’s dilution ratio’s I said that the labels had been changed to reflect its actual performance. The concentrate hasn’t been changed but product sold at the recent Carpex show had the old labels on them.
Regards
Steve
