I have to agree with the last post and I have been following this one with curiuosity for the past week and now Dan says he's been getting loads of help on this forum for the past two years, in that case how could he not know who Chemdry is and seemingly have zilch knowledge about carpet cleaning

[Damian]

Agree with the post above. In two years i'm sure there is time to fit at least a one day training course on BASIC carpet cleaning

Some people toy with the idea of Carpet Cleaning but circumstances do not let them take it up.

Dan has probably decided that the time is right for him.

As some people say we have all got to start some where.

 I would not start with a pub.  But please do not use this Forum to knock other members.

Personally-I WAS NOT KNOCKING!

Boys and girls, thank u for advice  .
There is work out there for all trades and services, I am in a position where cc does not have to be my main income, so its just a project of which im sure will cover my costs and give me a return in time, as a very reputable cc in Exeter told me, one who has been in the game for a long long time.
Up until this link all my questions for the last two years have been met with sensible honest and positive replies, but all of a sudden? Its turned into a wierd forum about a service that can only be provided by so many, well, thats BULLpoop, surely carpet cleaners retire and or die at some time? Or are they also IMMORTAL?
I have been considering and looking into cc for two years, hense being on this site for two years off and on, and now? im going to start a business in cc, AFTER doing courses, hense my questions prev on which is the best course.
So unless you have constuctive views on this I'd rather you didnt respond at all and take your struggling business stress away from my viewing, its depressing. If you have time to try and put off more competition, you surely have time to get of your ass and get some more business for yourselves instead.

To the vast majority of you, thanks again for all advice. much appreciated.

Dan:

Sorry but tbh your comment about Chemdry being some sort of pre-spray shows a serious lack of knowledge about this industry.

Chemdry are synonomous (?) with carpet cleaning the world over. Even people outside the industry know who they are.

To have even been contemplating starting a cc business for 2 years surely you must've have done SOME market research into your competitors?

Well said Dan, I am thinking of moving my team of 4 carpet cleaners down south to essex, streets are paved wif gold down there?

I thought Dan was in Exeter.


I was in Essex last week   As I said last time Miles and Miles of houses along A127 and A13  ;  and then you could always pop across other side of river.

Hi Guys

It's London where the streets are paved with gold, or so Dick Whittington said.

Essex is like any other area, it supports the number of CC's pro rata to it's population and disposable income.

Carpet cleaning is an uregulated market and therefore market forces will prevail.

There will always be room for a determined person to break into any area but it will not be easy.

Cheers

Not like it is up here, if you can find a penny lying in the gutter you're doing well !

[carpetguy]

Dan

There's something about your posts which could easily cause suspision and the points have been noticed and commented on above, not least, the faux pas, about Chem Dry.

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Guys

Lets keep it polite please !

Cheers

Im am a bit lost on this one, as far as I can see he has only asked for help y has that caused people to get their A*se in their hands. I live and work in Devon and I for one will always be happy to help anyone. So Dan (or anybody else for that matter) if I can help e-mail me and ill send you my number and we can chat. I am by no means an expert but I have nearly 10 years under my belt.
