They have been around sometime.

I think you will find they also operate a Maids Franchise.

They also give away an e book on contract cleaning with Fast Track type letters.

Im still looking for someone who regularly gives away 200 square feet of carpet cleaning.

Someone must do it.

Another one using FT type system, cleaning doctor! Bit shocked a DF person that’s local, thought the only one in Kent was down on the coast, got to smile doing a job today and only two roads away from where he lives, and maybe take a detour via his road to see if van is there!  ;D


Ian

Don’t look at me FREE may give a run over on a rug and it will be only a run over (not a quality one not that I tell the difference) :-[

says at the bottom of franchise opportunity page they are looking to sign up 200 franchisee's in next few months, and they have 'virtually no competition' must mean the dry cleaning system there ??? cus in c/c general there plenty of comp.

one other thing organic ??? i know the material is, but its soaked in solvents :o, is it me or is that misleading?

Hi Guys,

There is a franchisee near me and whenever I drive past the van is on the drive ;).

As for 'Organic' this is the correct scientific term for most solvents, they are organic chemicals , ie based on carbon.

The term organic to promote healthy has confused things.

Afterall you cannot have an inorganic carrot.

Cheers

Sad ant’ I, do like a bit of commercial work, have you seen the daily Mirror Thursday 13th new drug could spell the end for asthma, eczema and hayfever, like this quote (adi promise to be significantly better because taking a medicine is easer than lots of housework and pills are portable) analysts have estimated a potential £14billion market for an allergy pill but they need £3million funding. (come on you cc’s dig deep a little deeper would help ;D ;D)

Craig

Missed that one they have got 150 including Malta very tempted got a 2nd cousin there! Not a lot of black-top though! :D

Also like there words, is a new, probably franchise system Host have been doing this since 1935 and they have a network.

Doug

(Afterall you cannot have an inorganic carrot) Think you are wrong plastic, sorry! ;D

Ian was correct the bone dry franchise is part of the time for you domestic cleaning agency based in milton keynes they also sell other franchises from lawn care to oven cleaning. I sent away for a pack earlier this year, they use the Host system with a rainbow carpet exstractor - I was interested but couldnt hand over all that cash for something I knew I could do myself.

This is just a Host system - why pay for a franchise  ??? ??? ??? advertise bone dry yourself  ;) ;)

With Host and any other dry clean systems it is almost always neccessary to pre-spray heavy soiled areas first (with chemicals) to obtain any decent results - it ain't bone dry  ;D ;D ;D

HAHAHA,

1,  Just watched & listened to that 10 minute video.    Had to laugh when the guy said     'most other CCs use the SOAK IT     SUCK IT     & LEAVE THEM SOGGY'.

What a TW*T.    I would like to see him clean a carpet in a busy pub, night club or hotel side by side with me.  I would end up with his SH*TE Bone Dry system in my WASTE TANK.

2,  Did you see him vacuuming that carpet. The house was nice inside yet the customer had black dust over the hall carpet (yeah right, that was sprinkled there before hand).

Richie.
