Rick I love your encap products just curious if you have thought about producing your own cleaning sponges similar to brush n clean or host?? If not have you considered offering the large bucket of brush n clean. I believe many cleaners with the crb would be more willing to try or buy them if you offered them..once again I can't say enough great facts about your products! I wish I would of found them earlier life would of been easier.

Hello everyone, I've been reading the different post, I've cleaned carpet for 20 years,8 on my own. The problem I'm having is setting up sytems so that i can train and hire aleast part worketime workers. I have six small buildings clean, there all referrels and clean all the carpets. I doe mostly empty rental properties no furniture. The question. Doe any one have anyone have any suggestion pay,hiring. My goal is to do more its easier train, I like to aleast get to $100,00 a year even if i bring home $40, after expense. I have Rick program and I'm going to devot focus this.

I have a used one coming from an ebay auction this week, just wondered if anyone has experience with these machines. I initially intended to use it for CGD encap applications but now I'm seeing some unfavorable posts with regard to encapping with this unit.
If all else fails I thought it would at least be a good traffic lane scrubber for commercial or even residential berbers.

Just curious if it's recommended to use diluted Releasit that 2-3 days old? Example I mix 5 gallons only needed 1 do how kind do I have to use it. I realize not to leave in a sprayer due to plugging up.. Thanks for feedback!

Howdy to the crew! month 8 in the business and i'm still here!

I've had many people that I speak to that say they have hardwood floor, then ask me if I clean them. I've spent my time focusing on carpet, but figure it would be a no brainer to add hardwood floor cleaning. But my question is, is there some special technique? I did a quick search the other day when I had a moment and it seems that companies that offer it are simply mopping the floor with a nice mop (ex microfilter) and something like murphy's oil soap or something similar. Is that all folks are looking for? Help would be appreciated.

which of these 3 banners do YOU think would look best for a website aimed at commercial carpet cleaning? i have to purchase 1. not a lot of selections we liked, here are 3:

thanks so much for your assistance!

We started out targeting certain industries such as funeral homes, dentist offices, etc. Than I started to personally drive around certain areas picking the businesses, and then calling, following up, using CMS techniques.

I would appreciate any advice on prospecting techniques, or anything that may help with the prospecting process. (Calling, decision maker's name, mailing, follow up.) Any pitfalls, or ways you think I could get more efficient? It takes me around one hour to round up 25 to 35 names depending on the area, and then it takes about another hour to put their information (name, number, mailing address) onto a workable call list.

We have made a commitment this year to concentrate on commercial so it has been a big change, as what you focus on is what you usually get more of, however, I am still learning every day.

Any stories, suggestions, or comments....things to do, things not to do....from the cleaners out there that have reached their selling and business goals would be appreciated.

Things are going well, just always willing to take advice from those who have already been there.

Thanks
Brandon

I am going to place an ad for office/professional building carpet and tile cleaning services in a local magazine that runs several times a year.. 1/4 page full color.

Any ideas??

Anyone ever see this machine?
Uses hot air.

They will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. I luv how it is cleaning up on the residential and training to a new hire will be a breeze. I did see a video of commercial carpet cleaning and following with the orbot with a pad for extraction talk about dry times.
