mike,
first off thanks for stopping by, I really wish you would stay around here, there are a bunch of jackasses here that can be mean at times. I hope you have a thick enough skin to deal with it. but as you have seen there is useful info here, and mikey is always fair with everyone. I think the smart people around here enjoy having someone from a different background or potential opposing view point.
with that said my problems with Zerorez is they twist terminology. no one that I know of uses soap to clean anything, soap has lye and animal fat in it. So to claim the rest of the industry uses soap is lying and misleading the public, period end of story. this is done on purpose to scare people I don't like anyone to mislead people, if you are better explain why but don't attack my methods and imply they are something they are not. next I don't use shampoo on carpet nor does 90% of the industry to imply that the rest of the industry is using shampoos is again a lie, and its misleading people, so therefore see above as to my opinion of it. next, we even are twisting the word detergent, WHICH i CAN'T BELIEVE EVEN LARRY COBB STEPPED IN SHIT OVER, the word detergent came from the latin word deterge which means to clean, SOOOO anything that cleans can be deemed or should I say fits the definition of detergent. if it cleans it fits under the definition of detergent, and frankly a chemical supplier on this board should know that.
next, gaylord fokker, oh um caron, says that in another video that the carpet protector that we as cleaners have access to washes off. Again this is another lie, the hanks brothers who own interlink supply have a story of spilling some on a customers driveway, they could not get it off with anything they tried, I have also spilled some on steel, bare steel and could not get it to come off with anything I tried. again please keep it factual, don't lie about what my company uses and the effects of the products I use. calling my method flood and suck, again its putting down my method and distorting the truth. in the video I posted its also claimed I can't keep control of the water, wonder why they don't show the wand spraying on carpet instead of a hard surface??
lastly, mike, I remember my level of knowledge at 1 year in this business and frankly I didn't know that much. I also consider myself a student of the profession and try to learn new things all the time. I would say how long I have been doing it but that would be trying to hide behind my years of experience and at the same time implying that I know it all. I don't, I still try to learn new things after all these years. Thats my advice to you, you are fairly new to the game, thats ok. but don't fall into a trap of thinking they are the only game in town. there has also been a company called chem dry that bashed us steam cleaners for years and said we ruined carpets, guess what they now have adopted our methods and equipment. there is more out there, oh and one last thing. gaylord fokker who started zerorez also started a company called venturi. They according to them were going to take over the industry back in 1999, within 18 mos the whole thing folded and many people were left holding the bag and owed money. watch the video below and tell me if you think our wands do that.
