If you were promoting Dri Fusion, Texatherm, Envirodri, or similar is not what you would tell your prospects ?
There are posts on here including from myself describing exactly those situations.

SMELLY CARPETS
SOGGY AFTER DAYS
SOAKING WET UNDERLAY
NOT TO MENTION SHRINKAGE

It happens !!!!!!!!
The promoter of this Enviro Dri type system is correctly highlighting the POTENTIAL dangers from another system and telling his prospective customer that their system will NOT cause such problems!!

Don't see anything wrong or misleading there. Standard marketing principles. SELL THE BENEFITS

Robert, do you slag off your competitors methods when you're at a prospects house/business? I'd be surprised if you did!

The fella from down here must feel a bit awkward if someone asks, "Why are you using HWE when you rubbish it so much in this leaflet?"  (Even though they aren't actually "His" words)

Yes, they should sell the good points of their services, but writing inaccurate claims is pathetic and damaging to "Our" industry! Surely even you can't accept that?

Colin, as you feel so passionate about this, why don't you make a formal complaint to the body of people who are employed for such matters? That way you can REALLY say that you did all that you could.

i wouldn't say i slag off other companies or methods but i often compare the 2 to the cutomer, in my favour obviously.

as a relatively new business, its usually the custy that does the slagging off of other companies while i nod and get the job. after all, they've usually chosen me cos the last guy was crap, otherwise they wouldn't be looking for a new cc. i slag off cowboys in general, and cheap prices all the time. for instance "i'm sure you could get that 3 piece cleaned for £35 love, but i wouldn't expect to be sitting on it for a while, and if it starts to smell after day 3 then i'll be charging more than £90 to put it right" some thing along those lines maybe!

he's marketting his system, i see nothing wrong with that.

we're all guilty of condemning dry cleaning as a maintenance only type clean, something dri tech would refute, and i guess, get quite pee'd off when they read it in HWE leaflets.

get your own word out there and let the custy decide.

Vac Man, I can't be bothered to be honest!

Could you use this dry cleaning system on a  trashed, black top pub carpet,or is it just good for reviving brand new clean carpets.

Well stop getting so uptight then  You can't complain about it if you don't do something proactive

Never used the system in the flyer but it's based on the machine many use to aggitate and break up heavy duty soiling so I suppose it could be successful in that kind of environment.

I don't think people who use these systems depend entirely on the impregnated sponges but probably have a number of presprays like everyone else.

Personally, I've used the Texatherm System and  Charley pads with good reults on heavily soiled walk off areas.

in conjunction with hwe, but without the cat litter, you'd do a fantastic job of a pub carpet.

believe me, they are an amazing prespray agitator. bit expensive just for that purpose though.
