Came too me last night as I was trying to get to sleep,had to get up and write it down,it's carpet cleaning related,we all need it,it's simple.
Not sure who to approach about getting it on the market ?
-
tell us your idea Mark and we will advise you ....... ;D
-
contact lambert and lambert, they'll help you. if its an invention that is.

You could try Mr Moore he seems to know a lot of things :D

It isn't a Condom-Picker-Upper is it?... ;D
-
Did it involve sheep? ;D

Self cleaning wool? 8)

No that's been done

Cracked it

Carpet cleaning machine that doesn't break down ;D

A sign written van???
-
Currently an idea,but would be reasonably easy to get to prototype stage

A sign written van???
In the pipeline,when I next get some time off

I've just had 2 magnetic ones done on the Primastar... Look the Mutts Mate!!!

If we all need it, how come it doesn't exist yet but we're all coping (semi) fine?

I remember a time when contacting someone meant either visiting them or using a house phone or sticking coins into a machine situated inside a red box. And we all coped just fine.
Now we go nowhere without a lump of plastic is in our pocket so that you can communicate with anyone/anywhere at any time......well unless you're on the 3 network like I am ;D
-
So it would makes our lives easier, but we don't need it. I'm not being pedantic..honest..
-
on the 3 network like I am
Same here.
Can't go into details until I speak with those lambert's .
But I would put money on it being something every carpet cleaner does,this would just make it better.
how many carpet cleaners are there I wonder
-
I find the signal on 3 is amazing. It gives me 5 bars until I actually need to make/receive a call - how clever >:(
Good luck Mark, I must admit I've had a few brainwaves in the past, but on Googling the concept found that something very similar already exists, or that theres not actually that much call for it.
See you on Dragons Den next series!

about 7000, good ones
-
Had some ideas for stuff in the past,catering related,but never went any where with them.
Maybe I should dig the stuff out,and get someone to look over all of it..
-
What makes me laugh is when they pull things to pieces on Dragons Den that ain't that bad, then you flick over to QVC and you see the rubbish some mugs buy on there all day long. Give 'em a call ;)
-
Does it involve selling via a discount voucher scheme?
-
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.

-
The one thing EVERY carpet cleaner needs.....................buyers of their service. Everything else is secondary to that, but if you've come up with something novel that MIGHT sell good luck with it.
I'd suggest you do a thorough search to find out if a similar product already exists before spending time and money on agents.

Because we use something else,to get around it,this would be a small addition costing only a few quid to buy.
Which would make all the difference.
Can you guess what it is yet.
To busy to look into it any further today ;D
-
find out if its all ready been thought of first and wether it can be patented.
http://www.google.co.uk/patents
have fun.
ive got an idea on the back burner but its nothing to do with carpet cleaning. all though it uses something from carpet cleaning and turns it into something for everybody. ha ha.
-
Hot air? ;D ;D
-
i'd never take you on at your own game simon ;D
-
Don't need to, mate, Mike Halliday's got the global franchise on that one ;D

Derek,

Why handbags at Dawn? Whats she done??????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Could it be:
Spell, punctuation, grammar check on CIU?
Or most pointless post of all time, initial post ''i've an idea', then nothing of substance.
Utter tripe (forgive me i'm Yorkshire!), bring back Joe Hatton/Ian Harper.
-
Could it be:
That we all suggest ideas that 'might' make our lives easier then Mark runs off to some patent office and registers one of them as his own.
Now I've got you thinking haven't I 8)
-
Anyway, three days later, 470 views, 40 replies, anyone any idea what the initial idea was? ;D
-
nope...........................
probably not even mark now either ;D ;D
-
Well as this is an very important issue, could we please start collecting ideas about what Marks idea was. That may be difficult for some people, especially if you're a southerner ;D ;D so we'll also collect ideas about what the initial idea wasn't. ;D
-
If you have an idea , make a prototype , sell it .
Dont bother with patents , just register the design for under a grand .
Patents will start at 5k for each country .
Just get on and do it .
-
Good idea, we'll have a million pound turnover before we know it. ;D
-
If its only a tenner and its something we really need you will make a killing or at least pay for your advertising if you put it in ebay until somebody else copies it .
Then you need your next idea
-
Come on mark give us a clue ;D..
Something that grows ;D
-
Something that grows ;D
Steady ;D

Thats your mind helen ;D

Someone mentioned there are only about 7 thousand carpet cleaners in the uk,so it will hardly set the world on fire !!
Not going to post up details of what it is for obvious reasons.
Just not had time to take it any further,due to being really really busy.
And off to York this weekend,for some r+r,going to be going up in the Scirocco,get 80 miles from a tank full of fuel,so will be stopping at most of the garages on the way I think..Staying at hotel 53,any good ?
Don't have a day off next week either,so time is limited,but I am just going to concentrate on working,while it's manic.
There is a place down the road that does prototype engineering,so may go and see them
-
and about a million in the world mark, come on, think big.
-

Haha, engineering!
I'm guessing after your comments about RSI and trigger usage it's got something to do with that. Self propelled wand? Voice activated trigger ;D
Whilst your there I'd have a word about sorting out that engine on that bucket of yours if it only does 80 miles to a tank. ;D
-

It is fitted wit a 20l racing fuel cell,which sits in the spare wheel well,and you have made me remember I need another can of that tyre weld stuff,as I don't carry a spare,due to having a fuel tank in the spare wheel well ;D
Got this tank made to my spec,in hindsight,I would have gone a bit bigger

Oh and Neil,it's not a bucket !!
-
Mark , did you know that if you turn of the M1 , go up the M18 ,join the A1 , it is 14 miles shorter than staying on the M1 past leeds , before joining the A1 . Less hills too , thats at least 10 litres of petrol I have saved you both ways .
-
Cool,looking forward to the drive,not been out in it for a couple of weeks,just been and checked the fluids,and cleaned some of the rubbish out,so the wife can get in,best remember the face plate for my stereo

Ha ha ,I did have to call my mum,to come and rescue me,when I moved back down south,in the early 90's,was going from Great Ayton,in my mini,got as far as Northallerton,broke down,called my mum from the phone in the food van,sold my mini to him too,and sat for 3 hours waiting for my mum to get there
-
Through the key hole, the evidence is there and all that but I think I've sussed the idea.
If I'm right then someone tried it with the water fed poles for window cleaning some years ago but I don't think it ever caught on.
-
