An all in one powdered pre spray that is loaded with 02 and a deodorizer that works on urine smell and stains.

I just want to hose it down, let it dwell and slowly extract.

No water claws, no guarantees or expectations due to upselling bullshit, just good enough until Mr Friskers kicks the bucke
Just add more oxyboost to your prespray. not rocket science just chemistry.

ps. don't know why but not all oxyboosters will do the trick.

This industry doesn’t need any more chemicals. It needs to be put on a level where the customer has is on their list of needs, not just wants

More regulations

who would be the "regulators" ?
The mills?
The gov?
Trade associations?

how will regs be enforced?


I'm in a biz with lots of licensed trades contractors.
Plumbers, HVAC, 'lectricians, etc

Guess what, there are mucho HACKS in those regulated trades


You don't want more regs, Sonny
The cream will rise to the top
The hacks will fight for the bottom feeders


and that's all I have to say about that


now then, just one more thing to be said....

How about something for hose management. I would call it The Hose Caddy. It would help get hoses to and from the truck and keep you moving faster instead of having to stop and drag a bundle of hose backward as you clean.
If you didn't a have helper drag the hoses of course.

Maybe but the hacks don't bring the prices down the much for the good ones.
There are no "whole house $99.00 electricians" that I know of.

In the trades that are regulated there is still 20 or 30 percent of the work taking place by unliscensed hacks. And there are books and books of rules and regulations. Which have only some effect on the final product. I know of handymen that do better work than many liscence contractors. Just my observations after working in many of those trades in my younger days.

yeah there are, Ron
Pricing among the trades can vary wildly too .
Most are in the middle...some are high, some are low .
The low ballers are generally one man shows with little to no overhead
(or retired part timers)

and/or fly under the radar by never pulling a permit, bonds or registering with the municipality

and/or just plain shifty fcks that don't do all the things they charged for

I've got a good friend who is a great plumber. He was telling me about a contractor who got all the fixtures set, looked awesome...got paid.

There were no pipes installed UNDER the house.
I crawled into a ceiling after a pipe burst.. the owner asked if all the insulation needed to come out.. I told him no its perfectly fine all wrapped and stacked in its bags.. It was "installed" 12 months earlier lol

Look at the vct strip and wax business. Most of those guys do it for pennies on the dollar per square foot because anyone can pick up a buffer and a mop bucket. A lot of other janitors do the same thing when they buy a truckmount with a “2room for $79” advertising idea in their mind.

The only regulation I recommend is “Regulate to Educate!” Before a bad deal turns into a Stalemate!

I feel smarter because I made it rhyme

First. I would love to see less carpet cleaners with a lowly janitor identity. Second. A school for serious cleaners who what to be highly trained in their area of expertise along with a basic business course. Third. A unified national certifying board with board members who have been in the trenches of the industry.
