Title: george vacuum cleaner
Post by: lisa123 on September 07, 2005, 02:55:37 pm
I have been looking at offering ccarpet cleaning with my regular domestic customers.

has any one got any views on the george (like henry) 3 in 1 hoover/carpet cleaner/upholstry cleaner?

I know its a domestic cheapy hoover, but would it be acceptable for my domestic cleans do you think??

another daft question....from lisa :P

Put it this way, my wife thinks her  1993 cavalier is better than my e-class mercedes, because her car cost 20 times less than mine

Hi Lisa

Fine for spot cleaning but not much else really

If you want to offer carpet cleaning services i would suggest forming a relationship (platonic of course)  with a local carpet cleaner and offering his services to your clients through you.

Lisa, as you have to carry it on the bus I think a George would be ideal for you.
