Title: Great new piece of kit
Post by: kinder clean on October 14, 2010, 01:17:45 am
Found this on ebay http://     cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220441347052&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT 

It's a state of the art low moisture carpet cleaning system, although the cynical ones amongst you might say it looks remarkably like a paint roller with a cloth tied round it, but you'd be wrong.  ::)

The mind boggles.

seems like a gimmick to me. what can it do that a microfibre cloth can't? you woujldn't be able to put much pressure either so it would simple just glide across the carpets.

I know someone who started CCing on their hands and knees with sponges and some shampoo, then moved on to using a paint roller with a long handle. After that a shampoo deterger machine before at last going into extraction cleaning.
Yes you are correct, it was me!

Not great from a perception point of view in front of the custers. were supposed to be going in to extract the dirt, not extract the Michael. I'd be told to "pick a window" if I walked into a house with that muck, hair brained piece of scrap.

You're not wrong. Not too long ago (and he might still be at it) someone was selling carpet cleaning businesses.......well sort of
For your money you got a HWE machine and tools and a prochem course just for the small amount of £5k
Not satisfied with that he was knocking out window cleaning businesses too. Along the same lines but with a course at Ionics in Swindon.
I don't know if he's still at it because he got some right flack via e-bay questions from people off here and other forums.

It's not called flea bay for nothing.

sounds like a decent idea neil. if say you'd have spent 4k on supplies, you're spending another 1k on someone gathering it all for you so you get the best chemicals for the best job, best training etc. of course he may have just bought cheap stuff to maximise profits but if done well i think the idea if great as it can be quite overwhelming the amount you need to get organised just to start carpet cleaning.
