Fitz2kleen, if your a 'tradesman' and u know all about the carpet cleaning industry then here's a test for you;

1) Name 2 types of carpets that are prone to schrinkage?
2) What is the most hard wearing carpet pile mixture/content available?
3) What causes a join to split?


Answer those questions and you get my respect, don't answer then keep cleaning those pots and pans!!   :o

Sucks, he didn't or couldn't answer, are well, keep washing the pots Fitzy!!  ;D

You cant even spell it mate never mind be good enough to test us ::)
Why on earth would i want your respect?

AND YOU ARE WHO????
I DONT HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING TO A FACELESS PRAT WITH A BIG EGO..... I HAVE THE  CUSTOMERS TO VOUCH FOR OUR KNOWLEDGE AND SERVICE, AS WELL AS THE RELEVANT TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE.

But you still cant answer the questions  8)

Being the greatest is a journey, not a destination and the only people who think they've arrived at the destination are either fools, or the delusional.
I think the questioner may have done a great job for someone and then let his ego get the better of him to thinking he's probably the greatest and so to test that theory out posed his questions to see if anyone else measured up.
Anyone who knows anything about this business knows you're only as good as you're last job - fullstop!

this forum still amazes me as it's some reason one of the best cleaning forums in uk. the way people have treated carpetmasters is really terrible and it happens far too often. never seen it on any other forum (and i use so so so many) yet the owners just let it continue here. can't imagine what new readers must think of this place.
