i really seem to get annoyed when i see the ad for that resolve hight traffic foaming cleaner.
you spray it on rub it in and vac away once dry.

and i also have a local CC that has an ad on tv that shows him cleaning someones house and his hose is dripping and leaking water on everything. i just have to laugh sometimes when i see crap like that.

i also hate when i'm trying to talk to people about getting their carpet cleaned and they say "oh i dont need my carpet cleaned i have a bissle steam cleaner" you know the ones from Wal-mart.

Sometimes i just want to yell at the stupid people. some people just don't have a clue!!

If you actually cleaned carpet yourowndamnself, you'd get a glide and get with the program.

Its' no wonder you can't keep technicians.

Who in their right mind wants to break their back scrubbing?

I would imagin that it would be hard to convice someone that the portable that you bring into there house is better then there bissil even though i'm sure you do a good job, it's image. Think about it. Why wouldn't they just rent the rug doc. All I'm saying Is when they see portables they think "I can do that myself".

I always tell people I use a portable when they call, but talk it up and mention the Rotovac. I've never lost a job because of my equipment and generally have very positive feedback before I leave. I'm getting alot of referral business.
I believe the most important thing naturally is doing a good job, but selling yourself and method of cleaning is what gets you in the door.

Just tell 'em no more freebie cleanings, and act serious, and that'l snap 'em right back in line. I did that to my inlaws and scared the hell out of them...

Steven just tell your family that you watch them while they sleep.



One rule in my house is to never discuss carpet cleaning to the family.

Why?


Because they don't care!
