Hi Steve

             try using a good prespray after pre vac and then agitate with something like an envirodry, a host, or a sebo duo if cost is an issue, that way most of the soiling will be more free rinsing so you should be able to use your wand instead of the handtool on all but the worst traffic areas.

                                              all the best

Steve

Can I suggest you go on the NCCA course because if you dont no what a Truckmount is you should not be cleaning yet.

This will give you information that will help you with your future in carpet cleaning.

Cheers

Neil

go to www.ncca.co.uk. Based in Leicester. Or go to Prochem and go on their course.

By the way a Truckmount is a Van Mounted Carpet Cleaning Machine.

why does everyone recommend NCCA, why not IICRC ? thats what course the NCCA put on on anyway is'nt it?

why not just go direct to an IICRC course.

NCCA is a good basic course IICRC goes into more detail, not for the absolute beginner in my opinion.

Are You near Reading? ...If youre in the south west, maybe  a " Prochem" course would be closer. Theyre in chessington, and I met people there from all over the south west.  google them, and youll find out more....oh and dont let people tell you that you Must do a NCCA course..cods wallup...and no neil, im not having a pop at you..Just sick of the NCCA mob, mostly up in the northern hemisphere thinking theyre better than everyone else..NCCA membership means absolutley nothing...nor do the customers give a dam...Ive got all my scout badges, and a blue peter badge..there you go..nobody wants to s**g me for it.

Theyre just as good as each other...go to the one closest to you.

Hi Scott,

No offence taken, Before I started I went on the NCCA course run by Paul Pearce, Lots of valuable info from him. He is recognised as one of the top cleaners in the country so you cant go wrong with that.

Dont want to blow NCCA trumpet as I am not a member, went on the course but the membership is to easy to obtain and until they change the standard for joining i wont join. The course is good as is the Prochem one but the prochem course is a product sales course for Prochem.

NCCA course for me as it is full of new cleaners wanting the same info.

i agree IICRC is a bit advanced, i only said it as i thought NCCA put you on it, do they do other course graduating up to it then,? im not critising NCCA just that im not well informed of how they work,

i believe IICRC is the only reconised qualification in c/c, have i got that right ?
