Nice work there Davey. I have yet to use a crb in combo with HWE for agitation. And by the way, that aw29 is still a great wand. I was just thinking today that I may call wanders supply and talk to Joe about getting a HSK for that bad boy. Eric (pro touch) said he has one and would join me on a job to give it a go if I wanted. I assume it make easy work of the extraction.

And for the record, those gym day cares are as bad as greasy restys! What the heck are those kids doing? My guess is their parents leave them there too long. I just did one early this month and it was awful, needed the 360. That bad!

They eat and drink in there. At least they do at the one I posed, not to mention don't have it cleaned often.

Hey Ryan, anytime you want to try a crb just let me know. When the Zipper gets here maybe we can have all sorts of fun with equipment.

Lookin' good, Ryan!!

I did a job last week and cleaned some carpet possibly older than I am! Smile

The customers best guess was it was 40 or more years old, it sux getting old, just ask this carpet!! :geek:

Not bad for a 40 year old carpet.

And that my friends is why we do this job...success stories like these. There is a real satisfaction that comes with taking a filthy, beat up carpet and transforming it into something attractive. You don't get that working in a cubicle attaching TPS cover letters. wink

Nice Job, Ryan!

Especially that filthy step, couldn't expect to make that look any better than you did.

Why is it mostly just you and me posting nastys in this thread......are we really the only ones lucky enough to get these nasty jobs?! laughing

Does everyone else only do 'clean' jobs? tongue

by Ryan S Thu Nov 28, 2013 2:55 pm

I post here my nasties because everyone needs to know that trashed carpet doesn't always turn out perfect. I remember read post and thinking why don't all my cleanings turn out perfect? Well that's because most people don't like to admit that perfection is in the eyes of the beholder and sometimes perfection is simply a better presentation. I'm not the best cleaner but we have happy clients.

I will post more soon.

in hydroforce.... 8oz Natural Orange, 5oz 35% h2o2, 2 heaping scoups Enzyme

idea is natural orange is neutral pH so you can go stronger with high pH enzyme and not end up with too high pH of a mixture in the end

This months before and after picture contest winner is Ryan. Ryan showed that the after pictures don't have to look like brand new carpet to win the contest and he gave the process and solutions used to clean the carpet.

by Davey Cracker Wed Dec 04, 2013 2:16 am

Congrats, Ryan!!

geez I think I forgot to enter, has another month already gone by!?! santa

by Ryan S Fri Dec 06, 2013 10:25 pm

Thanks. This has to be one of the top threads on the board. Great info for RC looking to improve or find quality products. I would like to donate my winnings to some undisclosed person for Christmas. But you must forget I mentioned this after reading so my kindness will be soon forgotten.
