Is he correct? With .50 of a dish detergent and a porty he could do a quicker better job?

Must be Jimmy....

Challenge him to a duel. He says he has a vortex. Must run on air if he can clean that restaurant for $1.50. there is no doubt that a high performance portable can do the same job but it will take longer so where are the savings? The guy is an idiot wannabe carpet cleaner.

buck-fitty in juice costs
no residue and just as clean
scrubbing and multi-strokes are nonsense

the guy's a clueless mOOk

likely one of the yawks that doesn't use pre-spray and think they do "great" work on soiled carpet too

Restaurant owners sometimes have really good other jobs for us, too and then there's the referrals.

Not to mention that they were probably charged dearly for neglecting that carpet.
I’d clean Patel Hotels all day before cleaning another restaurant. I’m done with grease pits getting my hoses and equipment funky. Then having to spend more time getting the funk off than I spent cleaning the restaurant.
I’m sure they are good for you but there is better “floor money”out there.

There is always doubt Ron. They don't all have your super sucker but talk like they do.

Now on that restaurant carpet, I don’t believe I’d accept the job. The scullery water might be hot enough to help but it would take hours of slow going.
This is where truckmounts go that portys cannot.

I used to do several buffet restaurants years ago with a portable. All carpet tile. I would hook up to their dishwasher and clean with 190 degree f water. Enzyme prespray followed by hot water rinse. Scrubbing the worst places with a 175. Always thought we did a good job but if I went back with a truck mount now, not only could we do a better job, leave the carpets drier but do it in much less time as well.

Whether you are a one trick pony or not you need to believe in your process and results or you won't be able to sell anything. At least the guy is passionate about what he does, which means there is hope for him to improve.

We had a customer for a few years who had a unique source for his cleaning products: Whatever he could lift from the laundry area or under the sink at home, or whatever was in the janitor closet on commercial jobs.

He proudly call it "CAC": "Customer Aquired Chemicals"
Was his name Will?
