You've got to pronounce Carpet Dawwwwwg with a slight "twang" to your accent.

Now stop being silly and change that silly name of yours. The headmaster, Mr Joyce, will have you in his office if you dont.  :o

just what I need a keyboard hard warrior !!

just leave it pal got better things to do than listen to a pretend oracle

blah blah blah!!!!!!  :D

Come back and play when you've got 24 years under your belt   ;)

24 years of what? being a big headed arrogant wind up merchant?
Who is to say you havent spent 24 years giving poor service and short changing your customers just because your head is so big that you THINK your better than everyone else?


Who rattled your cage?  I've checked out your website, it would appear your a 'Jack of  All Trades' and probably only dabble in CC once on a blue moon? Am I right? Cleaning kitchen sinks is alot different from cleaning a carpet!

I would stick to your sinks, your'll get a better finish!!   ;D  ;D

Obviously a lot busier than you are mate, dont have so much time on our hands to insult our fellow tradesmen .

Fitz2kleen, if your a 'tradesman' and u know all about the carpet cleaning industry then here's a test for you;

1) Name 2 types of carpets that are prone to schrinkage?
2) What is the most hard wearing carpet pile mixture/content available?
3) What causes a join to split?


Answer those questions and you get my respect, don't answer then keep cleaning those pots and pans!!   :o

A great carpet cleaner can turn up in a ricketty old van, with a battered machine, bad breath and a bad attitude and know exactly which of the remaining steps to carry out ( and more importantly which ones to leave out) to get the carpet clean. Great carpet cleaners can clean a carpet with the minimum of chemicals, the minimum agitation, the minimum abrasion and yet still produce the maximum possible clean.
