Pre vacing, what do you use?
« on: February 06, 2005, 12:24:48 am »
ive been using a dyson for a few yrs now, but as they get more popular,the looks from the client have been a little down the nose,(ive got one,i could have done that) type!
Ive just bought a sebo dart from solutions, the sebo looks nothing like Mrs jones can buy,and the comments are far more positive :)

First impressions ect :) :) :)

I've got a 6 year old sebo 460.  This being the 46inch model before the the BS46. The difference in suction between a dyson and this is not even worth comparing.
And it looks the part too.

DAve,

I know what you are saying as I use a Dyson.

I got it because it was designed for Alergy Suffers I think I might have been into cleaning for Health before I came across these Forums without realizing it.
I paid £265 about five years ago.

Trouble I have is Dyson does good job does Sebbo doi t better.
Are there any other suppliers does anyone ever check to see what Mike at Express Cleaning Supplies has on offer.

I respect Nick a lot but everything leads to Soulutions.

I use a Nilfisk GU 250, Its fantasticly well built and similar to the Sebo with twin motors, etc. The only thing is they are rather more expensive than a sebo and doubt any better so If I were to buy again I would opt for a sebo.

Ian,
As I have stated elsewhere, The great thing about Solutions Is the fact they are not In business to rip people off but to simply try and offer great service, which will inturn create a large customer base.

Everyone's a winner ;D ;D

I bought a sebo dart a couple of weeks ago, great machine! did a hotel lounge last week(on the seafront) the owner told me I needn't vacuum as she had done it with her dyson, did it anyway to be sure and it managed to pick up half a bag of sand after her dyson!!!! ;D

my sebo also picked up around half a bag,after the customer vacked the carpet with a karcher, it looks simular to te sebo,and as for solutions, price is one thing,and they are great, but the service, is second to none,imo ;D, far better than my local guy.

Hi, I use a tennants which looks like a sebo and works just as well. The customers love it as they can't belive the results just from vacuuming so it gets me off to a great start. I paid £199 for it.

As long as you've got a decent vac, it is not that important what model it is.

Something I do with all my customers, but is especially useful if you find yourself in an uncomfortable position if Madam has a similar model is this. Firstly acknowledge that they are great machines, but like all vacs, it's vital to keep them in tip top condition. Show them things like why it's important to change a bag when it's only about 2/3 full. If it's bagless, don't let the dirt build up as it increases the soiling rate of the filters. Show them how to clean the filters and how often. Rinse them well with fresh water to remove the "clean invisible" detergent residue soil. Tell them that they must be totally dry before they're re-fitted as the air goes through them to cool the electric motot, and damp filters + electric motor= BANG :o  Now show them how to vac the carpet properly. They need to do this just once a week, the rest of the time they can do their normal quick "litter pickup".  By now, they will be pleased that you have shown them how they can keep their carpet looking pristine between your visits, and they will be delighted that they had the wisdom to buy a vacuum cleaner that's good enough for the professionals :)

By the way, I run a couple of Victor Gold widetrack models. They're fine machines, but next time it will be Sebo all the way.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Ian

I think if you check my email you will find a considerable number of occasions when I have offered advice on using other suppliers both for chemicals and machinery,

Solution Uk will always try to offer customers the best deal possible along with the after sales service to compliment it.

After all we are all working to provide the best for our customers whatever the business we are in.

Best regards Nick
