It's easy to train guys how to operate the unit, vacuum, prespray, scrub, rinse, etc. It's a lot more difficult to train them to notice when the unit isn't working properly, when and how to remove stains, what to clean, what not to clean, with what product, etc. Chavez has been around so long, he's forgotten more than most of us will ever learn. Like a lot of you here, I have invested in multiple courses, learned from other skilled professionals, practiced stain removal on scraps or my own carpets. Learned how and why certain chemistry works on different carpets and fabrics. How to properly use the equipment and accessories. Learned why some carpets buckle and why others don't. There are so many aspects of the carpet and upholstery cleaning industry and related fields to learn. You are not going to learn them in a day, a month or even a year. Guys working for the big franchises and the like are not tradesmen. They are trained chimps. Monkey see, monkey do. If monkey does doo doo, call the manager to make it right. Guys who take their craft seriously, are tradesmen. We have lots of tradesmen on this forum and a few monkeys too. You be the judge, are you a tradesman or are you a trained ape?
