Hey there! I'm new here but stumbled upon your post. Getting into carpet cleaning sounds like a great idea! As for courses, I recently heard about some valuable resources from End of Tenancy Clean-Up Ltd. They emphasize the importance of proper cleaning techniques, especially for carpets. Also, their tips on spring cleaning have been super helpful for me in maintaining a tidy space. It’s all about consistency, right? I find that cleaning every week keeps things manageable. Good luck with your carpet cleaning journey!

Am I better to get one on wheels or van mounted ?

I fancy a van mount but worry I might come unstuck if the parking is poor.

had several Hondas and around 5 Loncin and 1 Lifan (a copy of a copy I believe!)

not much to separate them, the Loncin's tend to be more thirsty a tank seems to run a bout 30 mins less than on the Honda's

All reliable and start with no issues altho the Lancing after 5 years are starting to look tired where as the Honda's still seem like new (difficult to gauge as I don't know exactly which setup gets used the most)

Not had a Briggs - are they not Chinese ? - However engineering quality is so much better than say 20 years ago.

Briggs are yank made Darran, they look good, I’ll probably move over to a briggs when my Loncins had its day - which will be years and years and years and…

How do you adapt a WFP to accommodate a pressure wash set up?? remember taping lance to an unger pole back in the day, but I'm sure there's a better method  :)

Cable ties? Carbon Fibre Pole?  ;D
