Good to see some folks that understand chime in. I've spent the past two years building a carpet and tile cleaning business, and I've built it with folks who are willing to pay for my...
Because they're already paying me top dollar to clean their carpet, tile and grout, and upholstery. I have a knack for making folks feel comfortable, and it makes sales pretty easy.
Not new to business, but am new to THIS business...I'm really having trouble seeing doing just a full wash, clay, Iron-X, and paint correction for less than 4 figures.
I use a Mytee LTD5 to clean carpet, tile and grout, and upholstery with it. Have done so since February of 2012, And I think I paid just under $3k for it. For the price range you guys are talking...
I would suggest you find a local PW distributor, and have them look at your setup. If the PW is gas, then it's direct drive or belt driven, and I don't remember specifics, but some need them and...
I'm with the rest of them. Your prices are WAY too low. You're looking at 30-45 an hour, given the pricing and time, and then you've got to take into account insurance (you WILL have a liability...

I've been seeing you guys reference this, and coatings in general...several for tires, for instance, that last longer than dressings. I'm not sure I'm fully understanding the difference between a...
This is a good thread. I've been reading technical stuff for the past week, learning a few things, and was going to post questions about pros/cons of mobile vs. a having a building today. Figured I...

Extractor (good one, not a Rug Doctor) goes a long way, but there are other methods. I've seen a foaming product used, followed by a microfiber wipe, and you could also encap, let it dry and vacuum...
No, I was asking him what HE was doing to control residue. Given your first post on the thread, my question seems to have become irrelevant as there are deeper issues...but that was where my mind...
From what I've gathered, it's probably a relatively intense acid. I wouldn't let that get on the brakes much, if ever, for liability and safety reasons...especially if you're being paid by someone...
