Strangely I get more and more people making sure I don't use this system because they have not been impressed when it's been used by previous carpet cleaning companies and I have got loads of jobs because of this.

Each to their own but I don't let customers dictate to me how their carpets should be cleaned.
I find customers who do this and also ask a million questions are the ones to be wary of!

never used it, but do not think sponges can properly clean wool

More cons than pros IMO. Can't flush out stains properly, get into corners, same with stairs & nosings.
'sawdust' left in carpet, 20 min to 30 min waiting to dry so you can hoover.

Expensive product cost compared to HWE.

I read on the Rainbow Web site a few years back that it can turn the carpet yellow

That's because it's not been vacuumed out properly.

Kerry if someone is wanting a dry clean of their carpets they must have to pay a premium I'm pretty sure it could cost more than £10 a room and also take considerably longer to do.

So people are asking for 'sawdust' carpet cleaning? Or are they asking for dry carpet cleaning?

I do quite a lot of dry carpet cleaning, a lot of customers don't supply much in the way of liquid refreshments these days.

If it's a wool carpet you will need to use the soft (gold for HOST) brushes to avoid damage to pile.
