Has grooming the carpet gone out of style or you just can't wait to take the pics?
Ok.. But I'm from South Australia which introduces a slightly British lilt to my Australian.
So for me it's.
Maaan that's top shit Miekey...

No teflon, no groom at this NV price point.
My wand strokes are pretty enough
And no I don't need help with dry times

How many of you would ask a "cheap skate short cutter" electrician back to do more work in your home, providing you still had a home left? So much for 'standards' in our industry. More like every man for himself.

Ofer Kolton is delighted to inform you that he did not find any swirls in the lovely above photos of your work.
But than Ofer Kolton never claimed he did. Just in his work. Yet he's a beginner inexperienced RV'er. And as the super conscientious (almost MB approved) cleaner that he is and assuming his clients would not exactly appreciate that "new" look, tried to find out what his mistakes (or the tool limitations) are.
So the gentle yet respectful message, if you will, may no doubt be- Butt off, please. Unless you have constructive suggestions.
I already got some like- reduce heat and pressure. And I'll try the glides (as you suggested) though I don't like the smaller openings and according to manufacturer it will also leave carpet wetter. And in laid back CA, and my left hand desperately holding onto the falafel, I am definitely not interested in practicing the 23 step dog and pony show they are so fond of in Nevada

- pre spray
- RE into the room
- wand/groom out
Yeah, that would be tough.

So are you taking the taxi to work Grant, or is that your other job.

Not allowed to drive. Legally blind. Roll to work with my gear in the wheelchair access cab which has a hydraulic lift at the rear.
Porty goes on the back loaded by the driver. Rotovac, chems, vacuum, hoses etc. load in the side door.

You ever thought about buying a vehicle and hiring a helper?
Yeah...
But....
Then I give control of my business to somebody else. If I do it this way. It's me alone. If my employee were to call in sick, can't go to work myself.

You must have much better Taxi service there than we do here... plus real taxi service over here is expensive. Glad you have figured out a way to make it work. I enjoy your posts!
Hey am I MB approved yet...?

You know, just myself, I kinda make a "thing" of the swirls. It surprisingly gets me more work. Bit like signing my work. "Cleaned by Grant Baverstock".

I know someone who does that!
Great work Grant
Do you groom with a rake at the end?
You've mentioned being legally blind. I have so many questions about how you do it practically. Are you able to see well enough to know that the swirls have been raked out?
I think you're smart to make a big deal about the swirls. It can really set you apart if you're doing it with such care.
Keep up the good work

Grant what is the reaction of clients when you show up in a taxi?
Were they made aware of your situation before hand?
How do you do with subtle stains and discoloration?
A big congratulations for not sitting home and living on hand outs..

Grant, as always, love your work.
The swirls mentioned are not the kind you're showing, as gloriously obsessive compulsive as they are. How you do it, man?!!
It is a remnant of another thread about permanent swirling marks and what caused them. 360i swirls- what am I doing wrong?-
