Clean It Up

Did a local brewers fair last night and as it is right next to the premier travel inn thought it would be quite inappropriate to have the TM rumbling away outside through the night. So Nick VW lent me a scorpion for the job.
It was a big pub and hadn't been cleaned in 8 years. Took 6 hours and the scorpion made easy work of it. Running nearly non stop for the whole time it certainly put it through its paces. I was very impressed with it and its drying times ( they were excellent at around 30 mins). and loved the fact that i didn't have to go out side all the time to stop and start the TM and could leave the machine running without having to worry about the water temp going too high and then dumping to the waste tank.

Hi Goron,
What did you use to heat the water?
Chris

Hi Chris did not have heater with me just used hot water from the tap and still got excellent results, just look at the water

Goron

Funny you should mention about the Aux tanks Len ;D
But,,,,,,, if you wanted to,,,,,,,,,,, they are light enough to carry into a building,,,,,,,,,,,,then set up somewhere out of the way,,,,,,, fill Aux fresh water tank, connect Aux waste tank to Scorpion, and,,,,,, hey presto,,,,, an " inside" truckmount ( with 33 gal capacity) ;D
Cheers

The are no limits for the ads campaigns, but we are not stupid and/or blind. ;D

AJ, you are wrong, there are guidelines to advertising on every forum you visit. This one is the most lax in that department, the others arre owned by the makers of this very machine.
I can tell you now, they would not tolerate this thread if it was not theres.
This has been a long running campaign you obvously know nothing about.

No Gary this was never intended as an advert, was just impressed by the machine.
No Len not slagging off my TM I love it and am at the moment looking for a new kennel for it.

I personaly do not care wheather or not it is clased as an add, as long as i am getting some unbiast feedback from a fellow CC as to how good in there opinion the machine actualy is. And i would feel the same if someone was to come on the forum who had used the CFR Perfect Heat, or any other machine.
It is to this forums strengh that we can debate the good points and at the same time any pitfals relating to them. At the end of the day we all make our own minds up about what to buy using our own judgement and individual cercumstances.
Take Care John

So why the need for a big catalogue picture of the unit with Solutions written on it and the phone number conveniently placed at the bottom of it.
That doesn't tell you how good the machine is, just tells you where to purchase it.

if i or anyone advertised ashbys ninja on cxxxntxxk forum with pics with tel numbers i would get baned :o
-
At the end of the day the world is full of different carpet cleaning machines and as many people trying to persuade you to buy theirs.
All I would say to people is none of them are cheap (priced I mean, some are crap but thats another story)
If you are going to spend money on a machine get a lend of one and make sure it does what you want it to do and you are happy with it.

Hi Guys,
Was out at The City of London Livery Lodge of Enviromental Cleaners Ladies Night , hows that for a plug , last night so didn't see this .
I'll leave some of this one for now but I do think all this silly Solutions product advertising is counter productive , it gets people backs up .I know some people believe there is no such thing as bad publicity but I believe AS was damaged because of this silliness and Scorpion could go the same way.
Mature promotion is much more effective in the long run.
I have deleted the pictures of machines doing nothing which was too blatant , if this topic gets out of hand I'll delete the lot ;)
Cheers

-

-
Doug, I should leave the pics on ;D, as it might have the opposite effect ;D, after all. it may be the dogs testicles," thats not my personal opinion, i havnt tried it", but the look of it isnt exactly awe inspiring, and may just put some people off.

OOOPS ;D
Sorry if I crossed the line by posting pictures of the Scorpion with the phone number on the bottom :( , although someone did ask for contact info on the machine ;D
I have absolutely no connection with the manufacturers or suppliers of this machine, and I don’t own one, and I have never even seen one working!.
My motive for posting the pictures was purely malicious :-[
It was Saturday night, I was stuck in the house on me todd, and was having a good old drink, while looking around the various sites.
By the time that this thread came up I was quite a way through a bottle of vodka, and knowing how much Cleanitup and C l e a n t a l k hate each other, I thought it would be very amusing to post the pics of the Scorpion with Solutions phone number on the bottom. :-\
I am a bad man. :-[
My sincere apologises to anyone who took offence.
I have now decided that I spend far to much time on the various forums and so this will be my last posting.
From now on I will just "lurk" in the background from time to time. ;)
All the best
Chris Rushton

Chris ,
I was surprised you were posting this sort of rubbish because you are not someone I would associate with this behaivour.
Thanks for the apology and keep posting.
By the way we don't hate anyone on here , we just try to have useful discussions without blatant advertising.
Cheers
Doug

Seeing the pictures of the Scorpion has made me regret chucking out an old Stimvac because I felt it was very old fashioned and ugly...............
However i'ts very similar in appearance to the Scorpion and has two heating elements but has not been upgraded .
Come on Stimvac, you are missing the boat here............

I hope this forum's not going to go down the same route as the others. ANyone who has seen Goron's posts before will have their own opinons on this one.
And the machine: It's not the looks we should be worrying about - I phoned up about this and was told that full system needs FOUR power sockets to run it!. How many houses have four separate circuits! Even my little 130 psi Ninja pops the odd circuit breaker, especially since I added a in-line heater - the mind boggles!
-
Now hang on a minute. Just because i use a certain suppliers products does not mean you should not accept my oppinion on them! Nick is not far from me and so he offered me the machine which incidentally i asked to borrow! If i lived near somebody else and they leant me a machine i would also post my thoughts on it so stop trying to twist things. I was lucky enough to be able to use a new machine on the market that has not been used by many people and i have just given my feedback on it nothing more just that.
Thanks Goron

Hi Guys,
I'm locking this now as I think everyones had their say and I want this to remain a positive board.
