hi i am new to the forum, i run a mobile valeting company and have and increasing number of customers who enquire about carpet cleaning,
i currently use a Numatic CTD 570 for valeting and have done several customers carpets with good results but this machine is too small for domestic carpets i seem to be stopping every 10 mins to fill it up or empty it.
i am looking for a machine with a better capacity solution and extraction tanks but thats not so big that i cant manoeuvre it up stairs etc.
can you recommend something suitable? i have been looking at the numatic CTD 900 and also the prochem steempro but im unsure if these would be too large?

thanks in advance

You need to be looking to buy a 135psi machine with 2 vac motors at the very least. I have the CDT902 machine, but it's one I rent out to skint flints and price shoppers....  

[Lewis Newby]

thanks for the reply, so what would you recommend? something like the steempro?

Lew, I can only really recommend what I use and it's impossible to say which machine is best because this always throws up a lot of "My machine's better than yours!" rubbish.... : But, I use an Altec Advance Triple Vac with a variable psi up to 600psi, it costs a little over £3k! I would say though that the more experienced people on this forum are in a better position to give advice than myself....

In an ideal world, I'd own a HM Truck Mount and get 3-5 jobs a day cracked out and be home in time to pick the kids up from school...... One day

Looking at your profile Happy day for a 6 yr old living in Hong Kong I'd say your doing very well!

How on earth do people expect to get sensible advice if they either don't fill in their profiles or write a load of rubbish.

It beggs belief

It does  I'd never have looked until you said. I never look at profiles myself.

Colin "Happy" Day is obviously having mid-life crisis early.

He will get back to normal soon, keep taking the tablets!

But Colin, how do we expect to encourage newbies to fill in a profile when YOU have changed yours to something silly.
Shake a leg, get it sorted.

Its amazing are we not taking the profiles a little too seriously?

After all it is a forum and most of what we say is just banter. If the replies we get are genuine all well and good but all should be taken with a pinch of salt. After all he is just having a bit of fun.

And what does the age and location actually tell any one. The location could be made up... and not actually true. Age well does that actually matter. Some fill it in some dont.

The Steampro Powermax will be a good machine for
a start.
As you can see from the replies Newbies do not
always get the help they deserve especially when
people go off at a tangeant. Don't forget the status
of cleanitup gods is acheived by the quantity of posts
posted and not always by the quality or knowledge
they have.
Come on guys help the newbies and give them
what they expect. Serious replys.

The reason "we" can be a little cautious with newbies is that sometimes they not who they appear to be.
Sometimes they are ones who have been banned from the forum for one thing or another and then comeback under different name etc to stir things up, wind us up and then have a good laugh.
Its good to have a good laugh but it gets a bit much at times.
The other thing is - some are a bit reluctant to give help to someone who may be in their vicinity. Natural I suppose.

[Buster Ingram]

Very true Joe and as you say its nice to know where these people hail from.

I have helped many a cleaner of the years but only when I know who they are!

So come on you guys lets have your profiles up to date if you want us to help you.
