Proud carpet cleaner

[Brian R]

Would you bring this equipment inside someone's home?
Looks like a nice guy....but wow.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I would take the sticker off the Rug Doctor.

 

[Royal Man]

At least he is using SOA equipment with the Doc.

Your kidding right?

If you zoom in the sticker says "professional grade" right on it.

 

[Goomer]

Is that one of your subs?

 

[Nate The Great]

Better then what you got... At least he has a extracting machine to get some dirt out...

HE LOOKS more PROFESSIONAL THAN most cleaner's.......... :shock:

Clean cut...nice smile & uniform..clean equipment..."Yep he will work"... :!:

Much better than a RusTed-oUT van & stinking/leaking TM....with beer can's & last
weeks lunch laying on the floor of the van.... :idea:

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Brian has to regret starting some of these threads.

Walt, nice catch! I didn't notice the "professional grade". :-)

 

[Burtz]

unlike you he is trying to remove the soil instead of just enc-aping in the fibers

wonder if he runs a groupon

 

[Brian R]

Yeah I figured the sub/padcap and groupon comments would play into this. So predictable. lol

He does look clean...they guy can probably sell what he has.

He probably does a great job with that equipment too.


But the question was....Would you bring that equipment into a customers home?


For the record, I'll clean better than most of yous out there.

Remember it's the person cleaning it...not the process.

 

[Burtz]

don't really care how you spin it scrub and run is exactly what it is

if that's all i had , or couldn't get the TM to reach, absolutely

"Remember it's the person cleaning it" ???

For the record, I'll clean better than most of yous out there.

and what, pray tell, leads you to believe that??

Remember it's the person cleaning it...not the process.

I agree "to a point".
now give a "great" cleaner a process that is clearly better, and he just became a BETTER cleaner.
Give a mediocre cleaner the best process and he'll equal or better the "great" cleaner with a lesser process

and if you still insist that all processes are created equal and the only differences are efficiency/productivity ...
you're either;

1.) in denial
2.) don't know what "clean" is
3.) or just plain FOS

brian i call bullshit on your coment that you can out clean most out here..
i can put a monkey in a hi flow hi heat cds with nothing but my powermax
and can guarantee that there is not a portable in the world that could out clean it
speed, dry times, and professionalism..who the hell wants someone using their bath tub
or toilet when getting their carpet cleaned..not saying you dont do a good job but come on
man..saying that is just ridicules..

Keep repeating that bullshit and maybe someday you'll believe it because I guarantee you nobody here does.

You aren't qualified to clean the bacon stripes out of Vawter's underoos.....
Tell me,oh Great Guru, how you clean a greasy restaurant with that jiggler ?


EVERYBODY OUT OF THE ROOM! BRIAN'S EGO HAS OVERFILLED IT TO BEYOND CAPACITY! - for self serving, overinflated bullshit

 

[Brian R]

I can tell by your responses that I may have hit a nerve. You're overcompensating and would rather put up a fight than listen to reality.

It's cool...I've dealt with it my entire life. I've alway thought a little differently than most and the "most" have always given me hell about it from their own insecurities and ignorance....and the inability or desire to "fix' it.

Let's see, where do I start?

What makes HWE "better" than what I do is it makes it easier or quicker to do the really dirty stuff...I get that.
What I clean doesn't always need quick and isn't always super dirty...although I get a few.

It's just carpet....I know you know this.

Meat, I'm just more experienced than some of these guys...not all....but I'm pretty good.

Meat, you would agree that a great chem and a good OP machine with a decent person cleaning can do just as good of a job and a HWE TM guy....if given the time...right? All things being equal.

Not ALL processes are created equal but I will say in this day and age, it's the chemistry that does most of the cleaning...not the elbow grease (TM).

That's enough for this post.

 

[Brian R]

don't really care how you spin it scrub and run is exactly what it is

I don't scrub and run. I do padcaping. It's just bonnet cleaning with better chems.

I take the dirt with me.

Remember to do your research before you lump people into the post.

 

[Brian R]

"Remember it's the person cleaning it" ???

If I had too.....but I would make an effort to bring in better. This guy has had that same pic up for over a year.

No, he just became faster
Give a mediocre cleaner the best process and he'll equal or better the "great" cleaner with a lesser process. That's crap...depending on how lesser the process...too many variables in that answer.
and if you still insist that all processes are created equal and the only differences are efficiency/productivity ...

As said in the other post...not ALL processes. But one you have to work a little harder at doesn't make it a "lesser" process...it just makes a little more time consuming. Yes time is still money...buy you can buy a little time with all that money you save with such a low over head.
And I'll be honest...I don't work that much harder with my process. The chems and the machine do most of it.

pad capping is a BS term it's just to make you feel better about scrubbing and running

 

[Brian R]

No, Encapping is a process where you spray down a solution, scrub it in "run" and then when it dries the vacuum picks some or most of it up.

I use a cotton pad of some sort to absorb the dirt instead of just scrubbing it.

Get the difference?

Great process does not a good cleaner make


I've seen plenty of carpets that were cleaned with a TM that were completely screwed because the guy didn't know what he was doing.

That's like saying if you give a fast car to a monkey he will win the race.

Just not true.

Now Willam,
Don't get all crazy butt hurt on me like that. People might think you're a drama queen.

I would clean a greasy restaurant with my jiggler using great chems, a good amount of time and effort and a ton of gladiator pads.

And I wouldn't have any wicking when I was done either. !gotcha!

Do you think these guys (not all of them) using degreasers and hard core chems really get it clean or just make it look clean?
How much residue will be left to grab all that new soil and make it harder to clean next time?

Again, just because it's a great machine doesn't mean it cleans great. A guy needs a little education to get any job done right.

 

[Burtz]

absorb the dirt instead of just scrubbing it.

really?

still leaving tons of residue in the carpet

it is what it is

a method that is for interim cleaning of commerical carpets

has no other value than appearance attention

 

[Ken Snow]

Double ditto- padcapping residential is kind of gross and we were paddcapping before most on this board were born (maybe not Bob).

 

[Brian R]

Isn't diluting the urine and spreading all over just as gross?

Have you ever been to a urine job that wasn't gross when you got there?

This is a gross job however you look at it.

it's dirt...we take it out.

How we do it is less important than doing it.

 

[Brian R]

I think you're still missing it. Encapping is interim...or at least it's supposed to be. It's for commercial.

What is the appearance when you finish cleaning?

Plenty of guys leave residue in the carpet. I just leave a better kind of residue.

 

[Willy P]

Where do you wash your pads?

 

[Dolly Llama]

Meat, you would agree that a great chem and a good OP machine with a decent person cleaning can do just as good of a job and a HWE TM guy....if given the time...right? All things being equal.

No I don't agree, Brian
cause I know better .
and here's what I know....you'll ruin every soiled cut pile trying to get it "as clean" as a TM can.
(TM's use chemistry too, you know...)


now, if we're talking short loop com, I might concede a great deal to you there .
BECAUSE...I know no one is getting much past the top third of the loop.
I "know" this when my eyes were opened one day while removing 100% of dried, impacted to the base , fluorescent orange "Slime" ( kid's gooey play goop gunk) from a Lady's 6 month new CGD

I gave a few chop strokes with screaming heat and it nearly disappeared ...just a faint shadow was all that was left.
a few more viscous chop stokes followed by SLOW flush stroke , and still an ever so slight "shadow" .

I parted the loops and to my amazement , the bottom 3rd of the fiber was a sea of impacted flo orange.
It took aggressive short chop strokes with a 4" enclosed flood jet tool (not to be confused with "internal" jet tool) to remove 100% to the base

So I'm willing to concede "some" to your argument with regard to cleaning CGD/tight loop pile .
But won't concede "all" for CGD either ... cause I know that OP wouldn't of got to the base (like the wand didn't either)
It took mega concentrated flush and vac while parting the fibers to remove "100%"



so in conclusion , let me repeat;


you're either;

1.) in denial
2.) don't know what "clean" is
3.) or just plain FOS


every time I think "bathroom break"
I've always though of you as a #2


:shock: :mrgreen:


.L.T.A.

 

[Brian R]

If there is caked on crap on the bottom half of the carpet fiber and you had to go with the slow flush, it would have been wise to use that chemistry to break up the gunk in the first place.

What you really needed was a machine that can do a deep scrub on those fibers and break loose the gunk with some agitation along with the chemistry and you wouldn't have had to flood the place. :mrgreen:

I know what clean is....but you will always leave a little bit of that #2 behind if you don't pull the carpet and submerge it. !dork!

We're all just cleaning the carpet...not the floors under them.

In the eyes of the customer, you and myself...THAT's what clean is.


PS. I can't help it if you choose to only get the top half of the fiber clean....maybe you need another process?
