What I like is this picture wand looks different to a Karcher wand like the steam.

Regret to say, I was " taken in " a few weeks ago by a long running advert in the cleaning trade press, seeking people to service national contracts, Now, you may say, silly you, but I met the people visited their office and  everything appeared kosher.
I would love to elaborate, but I'm intending to seek retribution shortly.
I would warn anyone seeing this type of advert to be extremely cautious.
Having serviced national contracts before, I regarded the claims and assurances to be perfectly normal.

There was an even worse advert than the Bus in a Van on, e'bay a few weeks ago.

Photo of 'mature gentleman ' offering to sell a manual on working for yourself and earning around £30 per hour

The machine on display was the Domestic Hoover, forget the name, similar to the Bex Bissell bot with tiny toubo powered brushes .

The concept was "carpet cleaning  business" using this cheep to buy machine and the knowledge provided within the manual.

The word due diligence, springs to mind when looking at any type franchise system.  Some are good some are not!  The banks that support this system are no better and they are not a franchisor!

Love some of the wording in their advertisements, you are the BOSS ;) ;)

Are you into the church noted the word retribution! ??? ???
