"The dirt has gotta go somewhere." Man it seems if you only used vlm that you would be ready for that one.
If you wonder why carpets are getting ripped up and replaced with hard surfaces. This is a big part. I wish the trade organizations would get their act together and come down on this stuff. But I see IIcrc stickers on trucks with just encap stuff. I've seen rental units get CRI approved as acceptable cleaning systems. What other trade would do that? I understand that the industry has so much momentum in the wrong direction that it's not really gonna change. Nobody wants to lose business. As long as HWE hacks leave carpets soaked, VLM hacks will have a place. The chance to have a viable trade organization that truly has the interests of professional cleaners in mind has passed. And that frustrates me. The company or franchise that orders the most TMs or portables has the most clout. And new carpet cleaners with good credit are a good source of income. And an apartment guy going through 40 pounds of Chems every 3 weeks is great for business. 8 gph and you don't even have to prespray.
He said it in the video "it seems like you know a lot about carpet cleaning".
The frustrating part to me is that I could clean a carpet with a buffer and a cheap portable. And given enough time I bet I could make it look pretty awesome. But that is because I am a professional. A Master Electrician could probably go to Walmart and get some junky tools to do a job. It would be slow. And he would have to be careful but he could do it. But a guy like me couldn't buy those cheap tools and do a good job. Heck even if I had excellent electrical tools, I couldn't do it. But a professional will have the best tools. And have the knowledge. And actually have a conscience about the quality of his work.
I'm not anti VLM. I have a cimex and OP.
But the dirt does have to go somewhere.
