Hey everyone. Thanks for letting me join the Mikey click. I see a lot of names and faces on here from Facebook and a couple other forums. I look forward to chatting on what we do best.
Are you ever going to retire it, or are you gonna just keep collecting that good profit from it?almost 6200 hours on that bad boy. Still going.
It's mainly a carpet cleaning business, but like all of us, I do all the other stuff that a carpet cleaner can do. My website www.curraheecleaningservices.com and I have a Facebook setup also. I've been in this business for 13 years, and I've been a one man show the whole time, meaning I'm broke, lol. Nah, I'm just a terrible boss that's too scared to give the wand to a high school idiot. I'm going to SFS in atlanta next week, so maybe I'll get some pointers on hiring. I've needed that class for a long time. I'll let you know how it goesHey Matt
Tell us a bit about your business
Welcome aboard!
Yeah...I've noticed YOU aren't allowed on FB.
Hey Russ. Yeah, I'm mostly residential, but the few commercial ones I have are very profitable. I ditched crap like chinese restaurants a long time ago. I answer the phone, carry 2 vacuums: Royal, and Proteam. I'm still stubborn on not wanting a Rotary extractor, and I'm too broke to buy a Zipper. Thanks for the welcomeWelcome Matt!
Mostly residential or commercial?
Who answers the phone?
Do you carry a vacuum? What kind?
Rotary extractor?
Zipper?
Welcome to the best place for CC's on the web!
F-I-V-E times?
Talk about your slow learners.
Ok ok, very smart of you Madonna to take advantage of SFS.
Just like any other good rug sucker, for trashed rentals and commercial, I pull out the Royal to prevac, then pre spray with either a butyl based liquid pre spray, or my powder Grease Eraser from Chemeisters, and HWE with my Boxxer XL at 500psi. I'm a hack, so I get too lazy to put a blower down. I just do more dry passes than normal for my dry times to be awesome.Royal and Proteam for my van as well.
So how do you tackle the filthy jobs Matt?
Yeah, I was miserable on all the down time I had about 4months before I got my Boxxer XL. When did you get the 570? I would've spent more money to get the Titan or the 570, but my funds were so tight having to get a tm at the beginning of the year, it just wasn't possible. I wanted something like you've got just because the heat is a little better and it has a liquid cooled engine. My XL has been so good at performing, I can't complainHey Matt Great choice on the Boxer XL......coming from that other truck mount! you had...i remember the threads on the other board..i got the 570 and loving it
Yeah, as soon as funds allow it, I'm gonna end up getting one alsoITS a killer running the zipper
