Be good to know how you get on with it weds morn
How come you sold your d fusion joe

Hi Clinton
The job this morning went well with the Cimex C48.
The carpets were really bad in places - main walk areas, where feet had been at desks, water stains etc.
This was the first paying job I have done with the machine and used Truvox Encap on this occassion as the cleaning fluid.
Good vacc first of all with the BS36 and a Kirby (I had a young lad with me today).
I was really suprised at quality of the finish - not perfect but considering the state of the carpets all was well.
The finance director and another director popped in to see how things were going and they were well pleased with the finish.
Todays job (4 hours on site) paid for our new 32" LCD TV that was delivered yesterday.

Just a short wish list
More Cool Cuffs from Hydramaster - a great time saving aid.
6" stair tool.
Rotovac 360 with carpet and hard floor head.
I love my TM so much I wouldnt mind a new Prowler to see me thro to retirement or beyond.

The lowest priced item on my wish list has already gone up in price.
Bought a 2" Cool Cuff only few weeks ago along with Clearwater Rinse from Hydramaster.
Now wanting 3 more 2" and a 2"-1.5" reducer.
A set was £14.95, now gone up to £18.95 - thats about 28%.

If the other items on my wish list go up similarly - I have no chance.

Joe

Good to hear it went well for you

Could you have just used a dry fusion type clean

[Joe H]

Sorry, I did say why I sold the DF system to John Gregory.

Yes, I am sure the DF or any good rotary system would have provided a adequate finish.

However, be it the DF or the Tex system I used to have, I never got on well with them.
Too much wringing out, too much heat (Tex system), and harder work then the Cimex C48.
I didnt even break out in a sweat this morning, and I can do that just with the thought of work.

[clinton]

Cheers joe

Giood to know the cimex can do a ood as job then

Same here with the texatherm,dry fusion not as bad  :

[Dave_Lee]

Ordered a slotted Greenglide for my, as yet unused Ti Wand, so that will become (I hope) my main ppiece of armoury in the new year, just now need some flexi 2" hose to go with it.
Dave.

[Joe H]

Dave
I only got 2" hose from Solutions but theirs is quite flexible if that is a feature you looking for.

[Darren O]

Ive been using a plank of wood as a van ramp for a year now then yesterday it broke with the weight of my Raptor so i ordered one from ebay £69+carrige i thought it wouldnt be here until the new year but came this afternoon great bit of kit and folds in two to save room well chuffed.

[Joe H]

Done the same, Darren, to load the Cimex C48 into the van
Couple of wheelchair ramps makes it all easy peasy.
And they may come in handy in a few years time.

[derek west]

don't worry joe ive sorted it for you.
a mobility scooter and a carpet cleaner all in one.
see! i do care.
