I almost padded this one Doah, customer has rentals he happens to be a doctor from India.

Has a African American handyman who cleans up and paints the property.

I guess drop clothes aren't necessary when you hire a warlock to fix all your mistakes.

I blocked the guy a few years ago cussed him out for wasting my time, a year later he's back and it's been slow so guess what.

Yeah this!

Excellent Work

That looks like 30-40 year old nylon

Old nylon usually cleans up easily

How long did it take just to vacuum

Thank You I get very little respect here but I kinda like it that way

I like the challenge and I like being the outsider

Well you sometimes mock other cleaners who are thoroughly flushing soil and allergens out of residential carpets with truckmounts. I think we all get that you can make a carpet look good with VLM, and it is ideal for commercial work.

You feel great about using it in residential, good for you. I feel great about setting up, thoroughly cleaning, and breaking down my equipment in a little over 60 minutes on my small residential jobs, and not hauling a 100lb machine up steps. To each their own way, as long as you live in the presence of a clean conscience and your customers receive a valuable service, go for it. I love what I do with my 300 horsepower jedi extractor, and the assortment of other equipment I utilize on every job. My customers do too. Cheers. Here is a review I got today:

It's older polyester lots of reverse nap,

Too long almost killed my oreck
A Oreck vacuum is not made for that kind of abuse

You need the KING of Vacuums a Kirby for jobs like that or a small Shop Vac.

I always have a 8 gallon VacMaster on the Van just in case I run into something like that. I rarely use it but glad to have it when needed. I only used it one time this year. Yes after the Shop Vac you gotta then use a REAL vacuum like a Kirby. Shop Vac picks up all the big crap so you vacuum doesn't get clogged.

I also have a Shark Kirby and Pro Team on my van. I use the Kirby the most then Shark

I don't even know why I have that Pro Team on my Van anymore. I haven't used it for over a year. It's a good vacuum on CGD but for thick residential carpet it's disappointing. I do like the wand. It's easy to use but Shark has a wand and vacuums residential carpet better

Back in the day some still do use a sanitaire with a magnet stop to catch metal.

My oreck has had the plastic fan replaced with a metal one.

Still I prefer my work horse on these jobs it's not a pass thru

Yup you gotta use what works for you not what works for someone else



One job today. I've been going to this house for about 25 years

30 year old nylon

Another successful job using Hydrox on Residential

Do you always leave the carpet in that sort of messy look, or do you groom it out nice and even?
I'm simply curious...I'm not attacking you.

Also what kind of camera do you use? (Your pictures, often, appear quite blurry)

Do you have a YouTube channel? I want to see your process...

Again, I'm not attacking you...I was once a strictly VonSchrader guy (late 1990's) that transitioned to full on high heat, high flow, high flush, truckmount cleaning (better part of the first 20 years of the 2000's)...but in the last 6-7 years I'm pretty much totally vlm (crb, Orbot sprayborg, Vibe, Cimex etc - have not touched the truckmount in my other van for at least 7 years)

Have you even HEARD of this?
I really thought EVERYONE has heard of this by now......we've been tracking this interstellar object close to a year now.....
PURPOSE:UNKNOWN

However my belief is.....they have to eradicate this pesky species that are about to introduce a radioactive substance into an otherwise perfect creation......

AND MORE-FURTHER......YOU....should realize if you haven't learned of this phenomenon......how many other Things are you un-aware of????????
