Post by: UNIQUE_FLOORING on February 03, 2004, 11:12:45 pm

was just wondering if anyone out there would be interested in letting me come out with them for a short period of time just to let me get an idea of what is involved.
thanks   ;D

:)Hi unique

If you were local to me not a problem, but I would teach you the fundamentals but never let you clean a carpet unless you were fully trained (not by me I add)

You are lucky if you can find the time this month there is a lot of good courses on.

Im on the Alltec hands on course myself tommorrow

£75 quid not including the dreaded.

I believe there are courses at NCCA this month also an IICRC one at alltec thats a bit more theory though i think. You need to get a wand in your hand mate to start with.

I'll report back tommorow night about the Hands on Course.

Why not wait till March the 1st and come along to the Sunny Day out in Leyland, why work for nought when you can try any machine from a Boneting system to the full blown state of the art Truck Mount steam cleaning system.

Hi unique

Check the forum profiles to see whom in your area, and then contact them all they can say is NO. But saying that you must of used a sub to clean carpets why not contact them!

Hi,
   Why not visit W.E.frankiln's cleaning centre. ring mike frakling on 0114-268-616.
    I did this and they showed me round the factory, where clean carpets, oriental rugs and suites.
    I also went off site with one of their operatives, for half a day.
    They were introducing me to there easi-step chemical range, which is one off the micro splitters.
  Hope that this has been some help.


Regards Rob_s
