sorry for the confusion Shaun. I had said earlier I was dreading seeeing how the photos from the rug plant turned out, and you said you were looking forward to seeing the photo. I ment, that you were enjoying my aprehension. Much like people slowing down to have a look at a crash on the motorway.

As it happen I don't think there be a photos of the set up as they just had me surrounded by rugs, blowers and " oh and one of those shiny sprayer thingys"

There are Some good ones on the rughub though.

Obviously you have done your home work on the rug plant, do you get asked alot for rug cleaning? I know I don't apart from "will you run over this for me while you are here" or have you got a contract with someone a bit like WE Franklin in Sheffield who do Johnson's dry cleaners rugs?

RUGS we don't do anything else but off site charge 4 times as much and have no problems, last rug we just gave a run over went yellow as it was white un treated wool and was left in a airless room for 2 weeks as they went on hols. It took the tech 4 hours to get it storted out.

Moral was no more "could you just" but lots of " that needs to be done in our rug plant to do the job properly" Strangly enough 3 months on, and no one has said no!

We do many just building it up at present, but it still pays all the bills on the unit. Which we had anyway. and we do them in any down time and if we don't get that we do a sat morning.

Looking for a main road site next, move the office and all to one location and do a cash and carry service

as for contracts, well that would be telling 

Picked up a rug 2 mile from us cleaned it and returned it cost £102 would have offered to clean it in house for £25-30 previously. Customer was trilled we had vac'd the back as well as the front and gave me a £5 tip!

Got to say i was'nt my idea to do this but am very glad we did.

Paul , really interested in your rug plant , what is in it ? , is it possible to do it from home in a converted garage ? I'm getting a lot of requests at the moment for this type of work , as we speak I've got a wool 12 *6 on the bed  with a whole room dryer sat on top it

thanks John

sounds like thats taking it a bit too far you end up with a damp smelly bedroom.  You could do with some poles in the garage at least, and a dehumdifyer, take a look at the rug hub forum lots of great info there.

Paul the rugs and more importantly the rug plant.
Had my rug plant for a couple of years now take all my customers rugs to it and get good money.

The point I was making was the difference in price from doing them on site.

[PaulKing]

yep good point
