What about a member of the iicrc , should they also be avoided ?

Or better still perhaps i could dig up some pics of work of a so called ncca member , who I was assured by the customer did nothing like is set out as good practise .

Lets be honest here, just because you have passed a simple exam, doesnt stop you cutting corners or having bad work ethics.

As far as I,m concered the web page is simply tarring all non members with the same brush.

I dont agree, simple fact is..... fear sells...its all over the place from the government to car companies.

I dont see how it harms good cleaners either surely its the opposite, anything that raises public awareness on the bait & switch merchants can only be a good thing...

Having said that it's pretty much on the lines of TACCA as in the "Approved" bit.
