Let's not overcomplicate cleaning carpet


The TM Manufacturers want you to spend Thousands on something you don't need today

And it's not necessary

Unless you don't like Money

Cleaning carpet doesn't take $30,000 plus in equipment



The experts say 85% is removed with a Vacuum

That leaves 15% that's sticking to the Fiber



Cleaning Carpet is a Very SIMPLE and EASY Process

Detergent Scrub Remove



LESS water MORE agitation !!!

I just pick up another HELD 13 inch, my guess is it's 40 years old ?
Motor is strong! looks ok!
I'll use it for a back up to my back up
but before the last back up that one looks rough. LOL
$50 for peace of mind!

I like the little Clarke FM 13 better. It has a lower profile and not as bulky as the Held. We used it a lot around toilets on hard surfaces. I have a Pacific edger that I could get in the very back of toilets with.

Most steam guys have to buy old truck mounts? [Because new ones are too EXPENSIVE! ]

When I used my Hawk 175-300 last week the ground broke off the plug

Gotta get that fixed

My phone is DEAD so I got plenty of time for repairs


I'm going to sell my Hawk because those small wheels are unacceptable

And buy a 15'' Swirly


I got a lot of equipment I want to sell this Year. Hawk 175-300 - Challenger - Orbot SprayBorg - 15'' CRB

George,

You are right!

It is so simple, it is SCARY!!!

If you want to use a TM, go ahead be my guest?

Nothing wrong with that?

But don't tell me VLM is wrong, without proof!

Because my Repeat Customers are my PROOF!!!!!

I wouldn't be against it, I definitely see their Appeal!

BUT???

I'm such a big fan of pre-spray, dwell time, scrub and

then extract with a pad.

I have 2 chemical tanks sitting in rafters, I've took off my 175.
You don't have to use it on every job but it has it's place

I have a brand new Powr-Flite 13 & 17 inch, i never hardly use basically the exact same machine without big wheels.

Plus a 20 inch General " That 175 HAS A ATTITUDE"
I didn't know you had all of them

But Swirly would be nice for second floor jobs

Carrying those monsters up stairways is not fun

And the VLM Method is about having FUN and making MONEY

I usually use my Clarke FM 13 , It's very light!

When it comes to the 175 it isn't about weight it's about the TORQUE!
