Post by: JandS on December 17, 2008, 06:48:25 pm: Thinking of doing this aas a add on to the cc business.
What equipment would I need and how much training?
Or is it something you can train yourself to do?

What about tile and grout cleaning?
Can high pressure cleaning/extraction be used on all types of tile?
