grandi groom

[glenboy]

While cleaning the carpet at the local coney/resale/pawn. I was gandering around and seen what appeared to be a pile of large microfiber pads of all sizes and a bunch of odds and ends for cleaning...And then there was a almost new carpet rake..so I asked the owner and he said take it...

Yeas I've wanted to try a brush type.....although for free I was in

Any carpet grooming tools available with simple female pole threads, that will accept any stick……….

It would come out of my van a lot more often if it could be easily screwed on/off like most other stick tools, as opposed to a pair of screws and nuts, which I find ridiculous.

 

[glenboy]

Thats a good idea!!

Saiger wouldn't agree Mikey....

Gandi groomers are only good for shag carpets.... Nap brush is the better way to groom the carpet....

I also like the wooden brush with black bristles and recently purchased a new one. I have never been able to find a long wood handle that fits well and stays tight. Any body know where to find one?

buy a wood bush broom handle and whittle it down. We aslo put a couple of set screws in .

Stiff deck broom works well for larger projects and empties.

The pictured Grandi Groom was great for the carpets of the 1980's. My son Jason sold a ton of the smaller ones.

Lee;

I remember the "good old days" going to all those trade shows back then and seeing the Gentleman who started that company. Bernie, if I recall, was his name.
Do you remember his last name by chance?

Thanks;

Ericson or similar?

Lee;

That could be it. (??) That was so long ago.

Do you also remember: Lloyd Weaver? I heard he passed away in 2012 at 78 years old.

Best to you and the family;

I think Bernie Eriksen started Groom Industries. Was later run by Frank Beach who was a Groom salesman for many years.

Yep his class on water damage restoration back in the 80's created a paradigm shift in our company. Water damage restoration was in its infancy and Lloyd Weaver was at the forefront of the industry at the time.

I talked to he and his wife Sarah often back then, as we built up our inventory of equipment. He was a great man and some of our success can be contributed to the Weaver family.

I remember Mr Weaver in Atlanta, 1982. The hotel had water pouring thru the ceiling...thought he'd be happy, but he wasn't. I liked him a lot.

I have and carry 2 styles of groomers... Just use what will work for specific needs... and I do groom.

Just raised that way....OCD... Maybe.. Got to look good. My dad taught us this way... I respect him and honor him by hopefully doing it correctly
