Just getting quotes to supply my lads with a uniform. Not forgetting that soon they will be required to do domestic & commercial carpet/upholstery cleaning, I was just wondering what everyone else tends to go for?

I normally wear shirt & tie,black trousers & black doc martin shoes

Steve, is that what you wear when you clean or just for the initial meet? Or both? Best, Dave.

[stevegunn]

Both.Clip on tie which comes off whilst cleaning.

I really cant see them in shirt & tie on their hands and knees or even cleaning carpets. In my view just not practical. Looks smart but na. I'll certainly look up that web site, cheers

all the cc's in my area that i know where uniform the most popular being white shirt with logo and blue trousers depends what frame of mind chris straker is in as he sometimes wears fatigues and camouflage face paint

I can't advertise that we clean carpets until my gear arrives and the boys have all done training. 

Going to go for white polo shirts with logo back and front, navy blue 'reinforced' knee padded trousers with extra pockets designed for carpet fitters (just seen them on net) at £47 each 
But if your kneeling down alot they appear to be the bees knees. Plus sweatshirts & a light waterproof raincoat all with logo on.

Anyway thank you all for your comments.  Regards  Andy.

I've bought 2 Steampro Powerplus plus all the other gadgets. I will probably look to invest in a t/m after a year depends on how well things are going.

The reason I chose Prochem over all overs is

1. The Steampro looks modern
2. Is easy to work on if need be (seen it demonstrated)
3. Is quiet compared to others (so they tell me)
4. Company has good reputation & returned all my calls & emails promptly
5. Training good
6. Chemicals good
7. They have local distributor on Island that stocks parts/chemicals etc which will keep my costs down

Extracta were good in responding to my requests but I think their machines look dated and are heavy and they are in Newcastle which is along way from me. I would have spent just as much money in carriage charges as I would supplies.

Ive emailed Ashbys twice and phoned and left message once 3 weeks ago saying that I was interested in knowing more about the Ninja. As of todays date no one has got back to me, not even an email. Machine is more powerful but if im not guaranteed the back up service case something goes wrong then Im not going to invest with them.

Im happy to start off with 100psi & 2 vacs and progress from there.

Anyone from Ashbys reading this will note that you have just lost out on a £8k sale. Silly billies!
