I have had great results with my cimex over the years for commercial carpet cleaning. With gas prices going up and vlm chemicals and technology improving I am giving more serious consideration to purchasing an op machine and doing vlm cleaning on some of our lightly soiled rentals and a select few residential. I have a couple small truckmounts and believe hwe is still the bast all around method and have no intention of getting rid of them however I think encap and vlm has came a long way and could benefit the bottom line. I already have a ford windstar minivan set up for janitorial with a 3 gallon spot extractor on board and was thinking that an orbot would fit on there niceley and be a great addition. I have no doubt in my mind that op could reallhy work well on commercial and would be an awesome addition to the cimex especially for a large hote account we dol but still hear a small voice inside of me telling me not to vlm residential. I also noitice when customers see me use the cimex even if Im getting great results still question the method leading me to believe that in an occupied residential situation an I might lose percieved value of my service if the customer thinks its a chickenshit method. Anyway I am open to any thoughts or ideas from you turds as far as integrating an op machine in to my business. Also does anyone have any before and after pics of vlm cleaning on residential?
