Thanks Rick.
I could go on and on... It also states using the proper hwe equipment the carpets need to be dry in 4-6 hours... I've used some of the best equipment out there and all the stars would have to line up properly for that to happen...when you clean with hwe do your customer carpets dry 4-6 hours I know that's what we like to think but it's not reality because I hear customers complain all the time about previous cleaners and the carpets took 12-24 hours to dry. I know these guys they run top of the line pto driven truck mounts and are trained techs. If the carpet is real soiled I don't think a hwe dry time of 4-6 hours is realistic even with air movers..now toss in a little weather such as rain,,humidity(add on the dry time) what kind of justice is that for the customer. Sure I have had people say wow they dried fast 4 hours! But that just because every thing was just right.. Start a poll call all your jobs the next day and ask if the carpets are completely dry! Probably not a good idea. 4-6 hours
Great explanation Mike
I think hwe is necessary for certain problems such as urine.

If anyone asks about the method I use I explain that I primarily use a counter rotating brush machine along with an oscillating absorbent pad machine that scubs carpet fibers from all directions and lifts and absorbs soils out. I also tell them I have used HWE machines and still do in some cases but I am more confident in the overall results from OP. I simply think OP makes carpets look their best , at least in most residential settings. I use the finest environmentally safe cleaning agents available and all work carries a satisfaction guarantee.
I have never in over ten years had anyone ask about warranty issues.
Personally, I don't care at all what carpet mills recommend because when they promote the use rug doctor ....well come on. The carpet mills don't seem to take into consideration at all the experience level or diligence of the operator - just the machine itself.
