Are you trying to pull our tassles? You stand a better chance trying to get Jordan
to eat a Sharks eyeball than run a business with a just a Kirby
Why not get a posh bucket, a sponge and a bottle of 1001. Then you'll be able to clean a BIG, BIG carpet, for less than half a crown
And it'll end up "Squeeky Clean"
Safe and happy cleaning:)

Alex, what do you mean by that comment?
have any of you sat through a Kirby sales presentation? perhaps if you had you might give this question some serious answers.
they are sold as a total carpet maintainance system. The sales reps tell the potential customers they can be used to proffessionally clean carpets.
this guy might be taking the mickey but he also could be serious.

No offence intended Mike but I think of you as bit of a cheeky chappy to likes to get a rise out of people.

Mark2
If you are who i think you are then why don't you explain your experiences of kirby as I'm sure we'd find it very interesting.
thanks

You thoughts are misplaced.
To be a professional, you need professional training and professional equipment.

Hi Mark2
Kirby always seem to do a hard sell on their equipment ...although it is an extremely good vacuum system there are others which can compete.
Rather than argue the finer points of carpet cleaning... if you are really serious about taking up carpet cleaning as a business, please do go on the NCCA course later this month... you will begin to see why some on this board have been a mite critical...
NCCA Tel: 0116 2719550
seriously Mark I do think you will see an entirely different perspective.
Kind regards
Derek
