If the hoses can not reach. I enjoy the soil removal aspect of HWE. Grinding turds into carpet is plain sick.

I agree

A Cimex, a portable, a Stemin Demon, a Rotovac and a spotter. That's all I need, and NO employees. I love it.

Owner / oper here, sun-belt nitro tm, use a HydroSonic wand with Green Glide RX-20, Cimex. Would like to add a OP and some Tile & Grout tools




















 
 
Derek

well, i reckon i'm not a TRUE O/O'er

January 17 2007, 10:34 PM 

Whoa, lotsa O/O's here great to know

you fellas have lotsa toys to get the job done right, awesome work

i have a Cimex, Challenger, Kleenrite Sphere heated spotter/upholstery HWE machine, glided wand, Host with Zebra brushes, Lindhaus, Conquest, Dyson, ClearView, SuperRaven, SuperCoach, 2 Eureka canisters and some small OP-type-machines for stairs. try to keep it all organized in my extended 1 ton short-bus-yellow Savana van

future purchase plans: hopefully a Steamin Demon or the Agitator 20...sometime in the next 6 months.

now that i think on it, i guess i am not completely an O/O, my wife is my "partner" and she pre-vac's all my comm jobs, and handles our banking, house bills and tax work. i handle the sales, phone calls, resi, and the Cimex on comm jobs. so she does a ton and without her help i'd be lost

anyone above have their wife help them out to?

thanx --- Derek.

What a Team!

Derek,

Thanks for the great thread. My wife and I are a team, and she does just about the same as your wife. I too would be lost without her as well, as a matter of fact she is the owner of the company.

Thanks,

Brian
