Hello - i am rather new to carpet cleaning and looking to grow my business more into VLM. I have a portable but it is a drag to set all of it up, get in and out of vehicle, clean upstairs due to hose lengths, hook up to water, etc. Basically i don't have the money for a truckmount! haha.
I have done a couple VLM type jobs, i have a good vac, a 175 with carpet brush, and a small CRB machine. I need to get some bonnets and want to try Releaseit products. I do believe that good chemicals are a major part of a good cleaning.
Question to you all - when talking to my wife and telling her about VLM, she says from her perspective as a housewife, she feels better with steam cleaning because it is like rinsing and vacuuming all the nasty germs and dirt out of the carpet and VLM to her doesn't sound like it does that. Basically she thinks where does the dirt and germs go? They aren't getting killed by steam and sucked out with the large TM in the driveway?
How do i/you explain to a customer who thinks like this the benefits of VLM vs. HWE?
I am sure there are probably several posts that answer this so if someone wants to just point me to those to read through it would be great.
Thanks guys and appreciate the forum.
