Joel hall  

Just a little success story..last year i had to clean the hallways in 2 different apartment complexes..i used the TM... there is a total of about 6,000 sq feet...and 6 flights of stairs between the two...Well mainly do to parking logisitcs..haulin hoses ..and if you have ever done HWE skinny hallways by yourself..you would know you spend ALOT of time stopping and pulling the hoses out of your way...So last year this job took me about 9-10 hours...and i had to do it 2 different days..... Well i did them again last week ..BUT I HAD MY TRUSTY CIMEX...3.5 hours later i was done with both of em...$670 in my pocket... :)

Cool.

A cleaner carpet.

A happier customer.

Dry faster, nice for resident halls.

A more profitable job. (Did you have to do a seperate prevac first?)

With the truck turned off and no hoses to kick around.

Good going, Joel. Plus, I bet it was a lot more fun.

Joel,

Nice going. Glad to hear about your success. 6,000 sq ft between two buildings in 3.5 hours - not too shabby. Great results and high production, that's what the it's all about.

It's been like "Cimex fever" around here today. I've been on the phone all day long. I talked to more cleaners today than I ever have in one day before.

Two interesting calls - a cleaner in Canada and a cleaner in Florida are using their Cimex machine and a Steamin Demon to tackle the absolute worst commercial carpets. They're ecstatic with the results. John Downey / Steamin Demon spoke with me at the IICRC convention in Orlando about handling the Steamin Demon. From what these cleaners told me it sounds like a killer combination. John's inquiry has now got me thinking.

My wife and I also had the pleasure of having Rick Thode and his partner Curt stay with us over the weekend. They're Cimex users from Alberta Canada. We had a lot of fun with these two terrific guys.

It looks like the Cimex is really rocking all over the place!!!

Keep up the good work Joel!

I'll tell you one thing for sure. You've never experienced hospitality until you've experienced the hospitality of Rick, Nancy and Bob. Bob will definitely make any robber or guest feel like one of the family.

It was sure nice to see the cimex really perform and some of the tricks. I think you really made Kurt a real believer, Rick.

Please give Nancy (& Bob) a big thank you for putting up with a couple roughians from Canada for so long.

Thanks
Rick Thode
