only joking mate.

Use the dry a bit myself these days for the odd pub that I clean.

[The Great One]

Hi

Neil I took it that way as well, in fact as most of you know I am soley a dry CC. Never used HWE and up to now have not needed to be.

I think once the pile is lifted it should look great, I am hoping to post some piccys up on here, before & after.

Priced up my first shop today as well

(Cue Heroic Superman Music!)

Hi Martin,

Do you use the host system?

[Len Gribble]

Art

Believe similar.

Martin

Worth a visit to next SDO ok wand technique (at Woodbridge) Truvox encapsulation will be there, what I like about this system customer vac’s up afterwards .  Even the franchisors have a change of heart at times and they are nobody’s fools , a lot of good systems out there for the job but each job is different and customers expectations .

Hope to see you there! And look forwards to seeing pictures.

   Hello carpet cleaning 4y
If your curry house hasn't been cleaned for 12 /18 months or more or worse still even longer, your price is spot on. Don't forget when you've got it upto scratch you can offer to maintain it for £80 to 100 every 4 or 5 months. If it's dirty believe me it could be a real headache.

hi martin i believe you when you say you do a good job with the dry cleaning. i have just started getting in to this  after only doing w/e and find its quite effective. in fact i had a telephone call this morning from a client i did last friday  who had not seen the clean because she was elsewhere saying she was so delighted and they looked like new this included some natural seagrass that had not been cleaned in 8 years and was so dirty being on the stairs and in the hallway  which came up a treat . I for one will be doing more of this

[The Great One]

Hi Peter

Well done!

At the end of the day whether we are happy with the results is meaningless, it is if the customer is happy.

I have been a dry Cc for the whole 3 years I have been in the business and am constantly chuffed to bits with the results, but most importantly my customers are as well.

Like you said I have had clients who thought they were going to have to replace and LA's who thought the tenents/landlords had had it replaced.

I personally will be staying a dry CC even though the debate will rage on. They of course both (wet & dry) have their place.

I'd like to see a pub blacktop cleaned with dry.

Trevor

Me too !
Or even a greasy curry house or chinese 
could you imagine only getting paid on satisfactory results 
Any opportunity to avoid payment 

[CVC]

When you say dry clean do you mean that powdersawdust stuff that you leave then hoover up? ANY GOOD PICS OF THE RESULTS??

[richie]

Martin,

NO WAY could the carpets that i used to clean 5 days a week be done with dry method.  On some of the Night Clubs i used to clean even HWE using a TM used to be hard work.  I believe that just about every carpet cleaning method has its place within our market however, the only way that you are going to clean a carpet deep down is by using HWE.  Please do not be offended by what i have stated as every method has its place and yes Dry CC does work but does not & will not clean the carpet deep down.  I like using the Super Pad Charley method however, this is not good enough for a carpet that has not been cleaned for over 12 months. Yes it will make the carpet look clean but this is purely just the surface & not deep down cleaning.

Richie.

PS
I bet i get ear ache for this post from some CCs.

[Steve Carpenter]

A few years old I attended one of the first CleanTalk get-togethers at a pub in Harlow. Conventional bonnet cleaning, the Texatherm system, OP Cleaning with the Hruby system, Rotary Shampoo with a WoolSafe Shampoo, Rotary Shampoo extraction with a Chemspec Chemstractor, Duplex 340 Contra-Rotating Brush machine, Hot water extraction with a high performance heated portable, Kleenrite Edge 2 (300 psi) with clear water rinse and a Steamway Truckmount with detergent and clear water rinse were used successfully to clean the entire carpet. ‘Blacktop was removed by all of the systems with the resulting appearance the same. A year later the carpets looked good, with only a light maintenance clean required.

In expert hands anything’s possible!!!

Hi

I have actually cleaned black top in a Hotel (Hilton Metropole, brighton) We were doing a demo for them and we taped off a square right outside the kitchen.

It came up an absolute treat.

I have been doing La's for 3 years and even I get amazed at the results I get (not everytime of course)

Can dry clean deep down?

Of course it can, the machine weighs 20kg, how can it possibly sit on top? Lets not forget the HWE companies have millions invested in HWE, they are hardly going to say dry is any good are they?

The debate rages...

Richie, have you actually used, say, the host system to compare on a pub/ night club carpet?

Regards

Martin

[Clean-Dri]

We use a combination of a Rotabrush to get deep down plus the Texatherm buffer system. The combination of these gives us the best results.

 We have many satisfied customers but we still reckon technique and knowledge is the most important thing regardless of the system you use.

Hi Martin,

What would your normal charge be for this size curry house using your dry system and how long would you anticipate the clean would take using your system

Steve

As a time and motion person (business man) which system took the least time?  I take it they all had the same size area of black top to clean!

Martin

Still keeping quite on your machine, it not this one is it? XXX XXX Dry system is the deepest, most thorough carpet cleaning system on the planet, believe they have over 150 shall we say 200 servicing over 10k clients on a weekly basis, they must be knackered or most importantly, time for you to enjoy the fruits of your labour.  Or dose it begin, with E nice machine got the duo though, up grade needed methinks!

Like this (not every time of course) replenish your stock more often it dries out! by the way join the club. Have yet to see a dry picture clean before and after, will you break the mould?
