Gary Mckay asked:
If you ask me - a carpet cleaner that has all systems for all methods I will be honest with you. If you call me and ask for a certain method that I feel is inferior I will also be honest with you & try & pursuade you to go with the best method to perform what you want from me - carpet cleaning.
The most labor intensive method there is - Truckmount Steam Cleaning, the most expensive method for me to maintain & operate - Truckmount Steam Cleaning. The most expensive carpet cleaning system for me to purchase - Truckmount Steam Cleaning.
So why would I want to have to purchase the big cargo van, the Truckmount carpet cleaning machine, water tanks, hose reels, carpet cleaning wands, rotary jet extraction tools, upholstery tools, flood tools and the list goes on, when I can just go out & buy myself a Floor Buffer & operate on a shoestring budget & follow in the foot steps of the Chemical Dry Franchise company that has used Fear Marketing for decades to convince you that water is evil & dry is good? I can fool you by rearranging the dirt & not rinsing & extracting it out with a Floor Buffer & a bonnet and call it Healthy Dry Cleaning but I would be a liar! You could take a wash cloth, spray some magic chemical in your hair & rub it in & call your hair cleaned but you know it really is not. You could be honest & take your head into the shower & give it a shampoo & a good rinse and really say it is clean.
If I want Clients instead of one time Customers wouldn’t I rather be honest, ethical & professional? So, why not give them what works - Deep down Flush & Rinse, Hot, Truckmount Carpet Cleaning power to extract all that bacteria, pollen, dust mites & who knows what else right out of the carpet & into my truck.
Listen, I use all methods of carpet cleaning & I will tell you that regardless of having to work hard & dig into my overhead to give you true carpet cleaning without leaving most of the soil behind with a load of chemical residue in your home will not happen! I know what works with these other methods & it does not work in the home - common sense.
Quality Truckmount Carpet Cleaning companies do not leave your carpets wet for days like you may hear in the Dry Carpet Cleaning companies marketing spins. They do take advantage of the hack companies that "Bait & Switch" or will clean a room for $14.95. These outfits can not afford to clean properly or operate with quality equipment and you just may get carpets that take 3 days to dry. Did you ever really get the quality brake job for your entire vehicle for $39.95?
Before you consider the Dry Carpet Cleaning Process or similar methods that may have other names to disguise it, please use common sense and ask "where does the dirt really go"?
Ask yourself "why does my carpet warranty require truckmounted steam cleaning (hot water extraction)to keep it in force"?
The Dry Cleaning companies will try to scare you into such things as mold as if it it could really sprout from anything synthetic such as a synthetic nylon carpet and soaked carpets for 3 days as if this was still 1955 when floor buffers used to clean rugs.
This is 2008 and there has been drastic changes in equipment & tools to provide you with short inconvenient dry times from 2-6 hours for Truck mount Steam Cleaning service.
