Helen, what name are you trying to put in? (miss-spell it)

cleantalk
truckmounters
cleaningpro
ccdo

these seem OK

[Neil Williams]

If you mis-spell them
Try putting and S at the end of cleaningpro and see what happens.
Do these sites think that we don't know that there are others out there so why pretend otherwise.

[derek west]

another forum

[derek west]

oh yeah, weird.

whats that all about then?

[Neil Williams]

now it has a hardcore membership of Solution followers who  shout down any non believers,

Hey, I'm on there and I use a Scorpian and associated products. Having said that I also use a Texatherm rotary of which I use whatever products within the market place get results other than the Tex/Solution products. So in short I mixmatch Solutions/Chemspec/Prochem products to get results not pats on the back from other carpet cleaners.
I've even been 'brave' enough to state on cleantalk that i don't buy into this spray it on, go away for 10 minutes, come back and hey presto the marks have gone rubbish. yet I wasn't kicked off for saying so  

[derek west]

good short cut and time saver if you ever need to type the words "another forum", just type cleanin-gpros without the gap and you save yourself a curser press.

Perhaps it is one sided but you can get some good information from there room for everyone I say.

There is good and bad with ALL the forums.
and Cleantalk is bound to be one sided because lots of its members only post on there.
Why?
Cause they fed up of the stupid comments made on other forums, including this one, about the Scorpion and M-Power and so on. So they dont bother. They share info between themselves and operate very successful businesses.

and only last week I had a call form a relative newbie who was asking questions like newbies do.
He said he didnt want to put the question on here cause last time he did he got a load of aggro. when all he wanted was helpful answers.
He does however post on Cleantalk.

I refer to Cleantalk as the sensible gorum.
Maybe not as much banter as here, but the questions/answers are, on the whole, good quality.

Hi Guys

It would be odd if all forums were the same.

CIU is by far the biggest and has the widest range of discussion, this is good and sometimes bad !

Cleantalk was a Mike says a vibrant forum but since Nick took it over, has become more of a vehicle for his products and there is nothing wrong with that, afterall he is paying for it.

Cheers

Doug

[Mike Halliday]

but that's the problem, any other view not praising them is seen as stupid,

I remember one of the most prolific poster on cleantalk bragging about how an elderly person misheard him when he told her the price (and he didn't correct here) so took the extra cash, is this one of the successful business owners you are thinking off ? when I called him a crook my post was conveniently deleted and so was his :

Just had a look at you email address.
its a @yahoo.com
That MAYBE why you cant get on Cleantalk
its got to be traceable (they want to know you genuine) and hotmail.com is not so yahoo.com may not be either.
Do you have another email address, if so try using that, or get one.

[clinton]

Think i had that prob as well joe so used a .co.uk hotmail ady

[craigp]

I find that with lens posts too, he's in his own world,

Len do you drink every time before you come on here?

maybe we need 9 pints to crack the code

I can't get on clean talk either dont know what I've done, thought things may change now they have new ownership.

If you really, really want to go on Cleantalk but cant get on, why not just phone or email, explain your problem - there may be a simple answer.
Many carpet cleaners from this and other forums log on there.
Like any of the forums, you get some useful tips and the opportunity to help others.

[Dave Roelants]

Cleantalk was the original forum that we were all members of, in the beginning it was the bees knees with lots of great members and hot debates, now it has a hardcore membership of Solution followers who  shout down any non believers, usually any competition to the scorpion or Mpower etc is belittled and ridiculed.

it needs to lighten up a little bit and stop taking it self so seriously.

but it does have a wealth of knowledge within its small membership apart from a geriatric idiot from the USA who jumps in with annoying posts

Amen to all of that

[Ricky M]

Im banned on Cleantalk too

[will_turton]

what happened to that stone course ricky??? did pete cancel it for his own good
