great photos but they are too close have you cropped them? they don't look like the same area, you need to show some background otherwise to customers they won't look believable.

We've just compared Enzall against Powerburst on some very large jobs recently and Powerburst won hands down, brilliant stuff.

Cracking results ther Daniel! As Mike says, maybe next time take a further away pick of the same location. Just so potential customers can see its the same area.

Simon, How do you dilute the Enzall?

Powerburst is a great product but i find it quite expensive. If i am mixing up 5 litres for pre-spraying, i'd use 4 or 5 scoops of Powerburst, where as i seem to get the same results when using only one and half scoops of Enzall. Using HOT water when mixing the Enzall makes all the differance as you know, its activates the enzymes i presume.

Just what i found from experimenting on various jobs, my views are subject to change at anytime.

Good job Daniel, impressive results.

I've done various restaurants over the last few years and they all say we'll have you back every 6 months, one even said "do me a good price and I'll have you do my BIG house as well" So you do and nothing
Another "I have 3 restaurants, do me a good deal and I'll have you do them as well" Nothing

Even when I chase them up after 6-8 months its "we'll call you when we want it done"

Is it just me :-\

Theres only one that has come back to me regularly, 3-4 times now.

And its got nothing to do with the results I'm getting  ;D

Thats what im expecting paul! To be honest, with a lot of people carpet cleaning is something they put off and put off til they really need it doing! But saying that i do get the odd customer who just wants a "freshen up" regularly an they stick to their word
 ;D

Great job!
But that carpet was unfair on the poor customers that walked into it before the clean.
I would have walked straight back out if I had seen it - disgusting!

Interested in your findings comparing enzall with powerburst , as I would of said enzall but  not having used powerburst I'm not in a position to cmpare.
One is enzyme the other high ph I presume.
Could you give us more on your findings Simon .

Hi daniel Can you tell me how you cleaned the Carpet as 6 hrs seems a long time Do you agitate the carpet after you have presprayed as this will speed up the cleaning time Des

yes i agitate the carpet. it was a long time but it was a bad job, hard with grease! one of the spray jets on the machine wouldn't work so i had to over lap more than usual so that made things take a little longer

See, i told you those walk behind machines do a good job.

I have 2 now, a clipper and an admiral.Don't think it would taken me 6 hours though.Maybe 2 at most.
Hope they paid 600.00 at least.

Had a few like that myself.  The first one was a pub just after I'd started a few years ago.  Quote was £120 and I was offered the carrot of the owner's big house so we agreed on £100 and guess what, I'm still waiting to do the house!

thanks andrew. it was roughly 40 sq mtrs and took 6 hours. the owner was so impressed he booked me in for every 6 months, and free indian when i visit his restaurant!
