If you think all carpets are cleaned the same; you clearly aren't a professional carpet cleaner of any semblance. 

I may not be a professional, but I've been carpet cleaning for 24 years and have always used the same method to clean a carpet. If I was doing something wrong I would have gone out of business long ago.

Are you a professional because you've attended courses?

Marti... Are you being in a bad mood 'cos you're quiet at the moment? You seem angry, do we need to introduce you to "Tosh" the Geordie Jap Windy?

Nothing wrong here. Just certain people don't like to know the truth. Interesting thread though dont you think?

Are they embarrassed about being just carpet cleaners?

[Marti]

He didn't understand the part about this thread just being a wind up (a bit like I said right at the beginning).

I resemble that remark

.That’s Marti I’m talking to, but only in jest .We have all got our own ideas and   opinions. But in the words of the film rain man Dustin Hoffman   recited the words. Of cause I’m an excellent carpet cleaner.

[Colin Day]

Interesting thread though dont you think?

Yeah... As long as it isn't taken seriously.....

seriously... i think some people here are in the wrong job, the character assessment of my state of mind is more accurate than their carpet cleaning technics.

Not at all.  I'd say there is no unambiguous definition to the term 'professional'.   It certainly doesn't come from the training because someone can undertake all the training in the world and still be crap (in practice and in attitude).  The professionals in this industry (if there are professional carpet cleaners) are those who behave professionally in the service they provide, and the business they run.

I do agree though that this thread is simple, GCSE-level forum flaming.....      It doesn't upset me personally because I'm new to this lark (relatively) and I chose carpet cleaning as a lifestyle choice, not because of any dillusion of grandeur.   I left the corporate rat race, endless travel up and down the country, company politics and a large salary (!) to do this menial cleaning ........ it's fun!   

[Sarah Kirby]

I would agree that training is valuable in any chosen job and profession however being "professional" is determined by your attitude and conduct 

[james roffey]

I joined this forum last year having started my own carpet cleaning business at the same time.
And in that short space of time i am already weary at all this in fighting, school playground attitude and,aliases people use even answer or back up questions to posts that they created :
 whether carpet cleaning is skilful misses the point surely the more you understand what you are doing the better you will be, besides running a successful carpet cleaning business demands more than being able to clean a carpet or remove a stain, and i emphasise succesful.

[fitz2kleen]

I think whats being missed here is the fact that training doesnt make a professional what it does is gives you a tool that you can take with you in your day to day work.
What I find ignorant is that people think they can just walk off the street and do it, and do it well.............cleaning carpets is only part of this job........ identification,knowing how to deal with stains,how and why you need to neutralize what ever cleaning compound you use.while you can fool all the people some of the time you cant fool all the people all of the time and if you only have bullpoop to fall back on who's the one looking un-professional?.

In every venture I have under taken I have endevoured to get as much training and information so I can undertake what is put in front of me with a proffessional manner and when I have come to a point where I feel im out of my depth I look to gain the neccesary training/information to overcome that situation.
I feel this to be the professional way.
So while some people do not clean carpets in a professional manner that doesnt mean there are not professionals in the trade.
