Frank I added VacAway Baby Powder Deodorizer to Carpet Details today and it left the house smelling great

Danielle likes her house to smell clean after carpet cleaning

VacAway Deodorizers are Fantastic


Just took one pic of a Second Floor Bedroom


Life is BETTER when you use the VLM Method

Samlam is always PISSED OFF

Maybe if he used VLM his life would be BETTER

LESS problems LESS stress using VLM

And look at the results you get using VLM

Ron, with clene work wants to go full-time VLM or wishes he would've done it years ago.

Bryce, just a matter of time he goes full-time VLM once he figures it out.

Steve, they live he'll switch, but won't tell anyone that he did and got a second van to carry all his pads and new jigglers.

Mikey is too invested in green glides to ever switch full-time or he would have done it 5 years ago.

Kenny & Zerkie & Dwain & Ron & Fred just too darn old? But they dream what the possibility could've

been if they would've switched?

Zee got lost at the beach in sand.

Samlam Sam waiting in the parking lot at the condo clubhouse in a unmarked white carpet cleaning van

hoping the" COOL George" comes by to go shoot a game of pool.

Matt and Jeffexe and Swani too stubborn they will never switch. probably a good thing?

We do need a few good TM guys out there Making Mud!

For me and 🫅 George SteamwayPro will keep cleaning carpets the cool and smart way VLM less water more agitation!!!

Waiting for Nate the great to report and turn us in to the insane asylum🤪

Neighbor selling his Sherman oaks house had it cleaned and it browned out on the overlap.

So I did a quick acid rinse to fix it.

Then I inspected it opening up the fiber and found pack out soil in the base of the fibers. Of the entry to the door.

There's a reason the cleaner over wet it.

Needs to dry go back and Werner it.

So mad I didn't think of it first.

Frank the problem with Carpet Details is it's a powder

And yes I know Carpet Details does mix rather easily

When I don't know what I'm going to use for a job it's a pain mixing it up at the job

And if I run out on the job then I got to mix it up and it's wasting time

Much easier just using a liquid like VacAway Encap Green 7.5 PH for the nice easy jobs that's similar to Carpet Details

When I know I'm going to use Carpet Details I mix it up at home and take it to the job saving me time

Liquids are just easier to work with



I used VacAway Encap Green with Deotnator (Peroxide) on that job

Do you still prefer Vacaway double trouble to encap green? Right now i'm using up some Bonnet Pro Nanomaxx and it's also pretty impressive,,

And does Carpet Details lose strength

It says on Website it will never lose strength even after mixed

Can I mix up Carpet Details and not use it for 24-48 hours

Have you ever done that
They told me at carpet details that they have some mixed up for over 20 years that they periodically test and it's still just as strong as when they mixed it,

I’m not anti VLM or anti encap. I never said I was. I’m against the idea that VLM is some magical one stop fix for everything. It’s a tool. It has its place. But it works best alongside HWE.

P.S. There’s a reason you one stop shop VLM bros love your deodorizers. It helps customers think the carpet got cleaned, when really most of the dirt is still sitting right there. 😝

P.P.S. VLM bros are the crescent wrench of the cleaning world. Always acting like they replaced the whole toolbox. 🤣😂😜🤪😝

Yes Double Trouble is much better

I use Encap Green at 4 or 5 oz on nice easy to clean light soiled carpet and wool

Double Trouble I use at 2 oz 99% of the time. It's a outstanding cleaner for polyester. Nothing better IMO. If the carpet is TRASHED I use it at 3 oz

Rat Nasties I use Commercial Magic at 4 oz

I usually add Detonator ( peroxide ) at 4-6 oz always on light colored carpet

Adding VacAway Smart Scents Lemon Deodorizer at 1 1/2 oz to Double Trouble for customers that like a nice scent after cleaning will make your customers even more happy with the results. I don't add anything to Encap Green

Of course they all need a thorough scrubbing with a Fiber Pad and OP, Fiber Pad and 175, or CRB for outstanding results

I scrub with a 14'' CRB and extract with a OP ( TOPS Odyssey or Tankless Orbot Vibe )

10'' CRB's suck too light to scrub and too slow. 14'' or 15'' CRB's with some weight are needed for best results on medium to heavy soil

And using the right brushes for the carpet is very important

10'' CRB's are good for Area Rugs and to groom after cleaning


LESS water MORE agitation !!!

Using the term "rat nasty" tells me what category you're in with the carpet cleaners. It's a shame you're not the 2%

And I agree with Swani's comment about using deodorizer. It's a fact that the nose is a stronger judge of quality control in a situation like carpet cleaning from the customer's point of view. We know the HWE is cleaner. The customer is the one being deceived

A HWE job with no smell at the end of the job, but looks brand new will probably lose the satisfaction over a LMC job that looks similar, but smells like froofroo glade air freshener crap.

You know why TM guys with# 9 blowers are 2% because the homes that
they clean have zero dirt underneath the back of the carpet therefore, they
know they won't become
