Zero dry time
« on: April 17, 2013, 10:30:37 am »
Anyone heard of them ? I think they are predomomently in the north east of england but not 100% sure! they say on there websites they dont use water! and the slagg off most other systems, When I looked at there video they seemed to be using a Dynamax machine and probably Dynamal Encap product but not sure, so realy just clever marketing and a slow speed rotary

Slagging off anything is not a great way to impress a customer.

Yep they are based in Newcastle and have around 15-20 franchisees all round the country. Seem to have lots of happy customers. They have been going about 6 years and I know they are still doing most of the commercials they did when they first started so must be doing something right.

One near here in Preston too. No water - rubbish, unless solvent all presprays are solutions, ie. chemical and water mixes.

They vacume out with a host freestyle but then a Dynamax rotary was used in a comercial cleaning video! I am not saying they are doing anything wrong, as its all Bullpoop anyway! the marketing that it! Its the way they Slagg off all other carpet cleaning systems, when there own is realy nothing new and most of us implement that cleaning methods within our busineses anyway

So what this proves is negative marketing actually does work and that you dont need to produce the absolute best clean to thrive in this business. But ChemDry knew that donkeys years ago.
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

What seems a long time ago now,an elderly gent at the time
Took carpets away to be cleaned.He did them in a chapel near
Halifax and advertised in his local paper `Carpets Oil Cleaned`.
I called in once as I recall,there were two or three carpets spread
Over the pews,I assuming drying or airing`off perhaps.
There was no one around so I just came away.
Perhaps that’s another zero dry time,who knows. ???

Chem Dry on their web site a few years ago advertised that they don't do HWE, showing a video of a wand and the sound of loads of water slurping on the carpet and that with other companies, your carpets would take days to dry!

At the time, I saw a chemdry operator emptying his Prochem (low powered) HWE machine outside a custys house  ::)roll

So what a lot of companies or franchises say, is not actually what they do.

Being charitable I presumed he had had a breakdown

Ian, Chem-Dry's use Puzzis as spotting machines on spot clean jobs for insurers, save setting up the two tank and two hoses machine we use for the carbonating method, which can be a bit time consuming setting up two lots of hoses etc on just a spot clean.  The main machines are the Kleenrite machines or the Hydrmaster Turckmounts.
