When I became a member of Cleantalk back in 2003 it was a totally different forum! It was a place that Carpet cleaners could chatt openly about any topic
Nowadays its so Biased towards Solutions Products, and if yoiu are found talking or Discussing another suppliers product for any length of time, the post is either Lockled or Deleted
It makes me just about to want to through up, the way guys go on there , talking about the other products, they used to use , the likes of Prochem and Chemspec and Craftex And refering to them as Rubbish Compared to Nicks Products, Gullable or what? I Think CT should be re named

NICKS NUMPTIES

I agree they're biased, but there is also a lot of knowledge on there. Post any serious question about carpet cleaning and you will get a definitive answer. Can't ask for much more really.

Worth putting up with a bit of their bias I'd say.

Ian's right.

If you want good advice, without personal abuse, it's a good place to go.

You are right Hector.

Honest truth.... one of my customers is a dominatrix.

She runs a Mistress / Slave membership website. If anyone complains they are humiliated and have their membership fee doubled. One guy has had his fee raised four times and loves it.

The lady in question is really entertaining and makes me howl (with laughter), with her stories.

Stuart - why don't you grow up a bit mate? Its obvious from your posts over the last few months you have had a few run in's with Nick.

Whatever its about you need to deal with it with them and stop just trying to slate them all the time on forum's- it doesnt prove anything other than your pride has taken a bashing and you are upset you can't post on CT at the moment. If you weren't bothered why keep going on about it? If they are all so cr~p at Solutions you are better off without them surely?

Its all starting to make you look very childish i am afraid and your spelling just isn't up to writing such big posts  ;D

Just chill Stuart it's not worth getting stressed about this continued attack of CT and Nick is boring now.
The guys on there are not stupid or numpties as you put it, if Solutions products didn't work then they would not sell. I buy their chemicals because they are good, however I also buy cleansmarts, Prochem, chemspec because they are also good. The bottom line is you don't like Nick, we all get that but it needs to be dropped now. If you had your own forum sponsored by your company you wouldn't want others promoting the competition either.

The forum is run by Nick and he can do what he wants on his forum and to promote his own business. You just have to use a bit of common sense when using it, i can be a useful tool and i have received some helpful and knowledgeable information over the years.
Do i take everything said on it as gospel ? no, and sometimes it can get a bit childish when members deride other machines for example by giving them silly nicknames, the  attitude can be a bit condescending but it is to be expected, but no apology is required it's a tool to promote the use of their machines and chemicals, i imagine you tell people your the best or at least better than most other carpet cleaners.

I think Mr Roffey has summed it up perfectly, some great advice being dished out on there - let's not forget that its a free resource, just pays to have a slightly cynical hat on when it comes to chems & equipment.

Some great guys on there who know the industry inside out, and I know they've helped plenty of people who have no affiliation to the company.

Yes he can do what he wants on his forum but that's inevitability going to alienate some people.

Here, Stuart can balance up the odds, I mean if he has no voice over there anymore. Really Nick should not let things get to this stage with his clients, eg. I've never heard a bad word against JK.


You could say its a bad strategy by Clean Talk because this happens often.
