Offer commercial jobs a 10% discount if they pay within 7 days of completion, just add 10% on to the quote.Mark

You could even ask for payment when you have done the job to help with your cash flow???

Hi Guys,
I do not wish to start another pointless discussion about truckmount v porty v bonnet cleaning but bonnetting seems to be classed as an inferior way of cleaning by some.
Bonnetting is like any other method, you need the correct equipment and the knowledge to use it to obtain the best result.
I have often seen on here a newbie asking for advice and they are always advised to seek training before they tackle mrs Smith`s carpet or upholstery.
Why does this not apply to bonnetting.
The theory seem to be that it is so easy that all you need is a rotary, a sprayer,  a couple of pads and away you go.
When this does not give the result you are looking for then it must mean that the cleaning method is crap not the fault of the user.
I am not having a go at anyone and do not want to start a war but just feel that we need to open our minds to the different methods available to us that could gain us extra work in these difficult times.

Well spoken David there are people who use bonnet cleaning on all carpets.  Obviously they would avoid shag, semi shag pile, but so would most h/w/e users.

There are various types of bonnet for different types of carpet. Came across a new one recently which is getting excellent reviews, apparently giving great results on carpets which previously were a problem to bonneting. ( only available in US at the moment )

As I recollect, the best known franchise in the world use bonnets from choice.
