When dealing and advising others on these forums, many feel it is a matter of courtesy that people should not hide behind Noms de Plume and no location. I feel that way inclined too, but it doesn't iritate me, so I'm quite prepared to pass on basic information. But I would expect some respectful actions in return with an updated profile etc.
As for the machine mentioned, Prochem have a good reputation for their equipment, chemicals and training. If you choose this route, you'll be pleased with your purchase. My personal preference would be for the Alltec Advantage, but I'm picking at flies. What's more important at this early stage is having a good local supplier who can service and repair your machine when required to minimise downtime during times of panic. Your location would help here.
If you are not in a hurry Meanster, if you wait until 1st to 3rd of March, we have our trade show at the NEC. Here you'll be able to enjoy yourself in a cleaners "sweetie shop". Ther's always some Special Show Offers on the go too.
In the meantime you'll need some quality training, perhaps spend some time with another cleaner too. If you visit
www.another forum.co.uk and ask about Mentors, they have a program around the country that could be of help to you.
In the meantime, edit your profile, do some research and enjoy yourself.
Safe and happy cleaning
