Welcome!

We appreciate feedback from cleaners around the world, and have also found we have more in common than one might think.

My sister and niece just got back from visiting your beautiful country!! The loved it, except you all drive on the wrong side of the road.

Where in N. Z. are you?

I like the guys from down under. They’re not sensitive little flowers like our liberal posters from Massachusetts and California

Do you use a cab to get to your jobs too?

Thanks for the welcome all, I've been back in the biz about 5 yrs after 20 yrs in an unrelated field. Approximately 20% of carpets I see are wool, 60% solution dyed nylon the rest are ecosmartpolytri stuff (not a fan). Still learning on higher end upholstery and rugs (have'nt bought 1 yet) complete noob on natural stone floors but starting to see them more in some of my clients places. Also cover some commercial floors vct etc, small wdr jobs. I live in a small semi rural area so have to cover a few bases.

Other than the fact that in New Zealand you have more wool wall to wall carpet than in North America, you have much in common with most of the people here.

You'll also find experts on upholstery, rugs, and stone floors among the particpants, as well as haters of polyester and triexta (I am going to use your term "ecosmartpolytri stuff" in class today!)

Welcome to my humble abode!

Humble?
Idiot

Humble?
Idiot

I forgot to mention:

You will also come to an understanding of how people from various regions of the US and Canada share their feelings of esteem, respect, and brotherly love for one another. It is very heartwarming....
