And me...
This feud between vlm and hwe cracks me up... If you stand to make 100k extra per year to do vlm/compound on top of hwe while providing exceptional services and produce happy clients..would you do it? I would... Majority of clients just wants their floor(s) looking clean, and if possible sanitized so they can have a peace of mind for at least a few weeks? The arguments provided from southerndry carpet is no worse or better than the hwe is likened to washing clothes as if that is assuming that carpets and clothes are the same thing.. A lot of these arguments are subjective and based on conjectures riddle with logical fallacies... Most important thing to do is do the job right and save the world from crappy cleaner one job at a time..
need to invite this guy onto the board.

There was an interest article by Lew Migliore about 4 years ago -Planar Instability of Carpet Tiles. The different layers of a carpet tiles expand and contract at different rates with changes in humidity and temperature. Anything, including cleaning, that changes the temperature and humidity significantly can cause carpet tile edges to curl up slightly.
Adhesive was never meant to keep the tile stuck firmly to the floor. In fact mills have often marketed the ease of removing a carpet tile and replacing it when necessary was one of the key selling features of carpet tile. Tile manufacturers are increasingly asking installers to use more and stronger adhesives which negates this selling point. But it does allow mills to blame the installers when edges curl up.
The moisture of cleaning and the quality of installation play a role but IMO the key factor is the inability of the manufacturers to make a tile that will stay flat under all normal conditions.
