    Posted: 04/March/ at 12:11pm Well guys, I just came back from the IICRC Carpet Cleaning certification class.
During the class we compared various methods of cleaning, marking each on things like ease of use, performance,set up cost, ongoing expence,customer perception etc etc.We then tested all of the different machines, so that all the operators had a chance to try them.We used encap, bonnet, hwe both truck and porty, shampoo, dry foam and dam.

While the scores were not scientific, they do show that bonnet is a viable means of cleaning...

the scores were

bonnett    31
dam         22
Shampoo  26
dry foam   25
encap       30
hwe          29

I know all the hwe guys will scream, but the main reason it scored lower was set up cost and ongoing expence.But what was more suprising, especially as I went on the course with the idea of moving to hwe, is that on a large dirty carpeted surface, that was split into different sections, the bonnet out cleaned them all...

I am posting this on the bonnet and truck mount pages, I hope we can get a fair reaction from both sides

I prefer the TM HWE, you cant beat the noise that a TM/HWE will bring to a cleaning. By noise I mean excitement.  By excitement I mean interested clients who are already sold on the cleaning you offer.  Big equipment, impressive looking and sounding.  I often think that a good product is supposed to sell itself.  Truckmounted cleaning sells itself. 

I started in this industry having to sell Shampoo cleaning.  Sell Sell Sell.  You have to spend alot of time and effort getting most people to believe in your product.  The product does work, very well for that matter.  However the product does not sell itself.  Also I will say that I hate dragging in that buffer into a small house with tiny halls and lots of stairs. 

Nice Website by the way Bubble

Sorry...Proven is a strong word, but I was hoping to get some discussion going.I agree totall with everything you said about the truck-mount,.I have been looking at them for a few months now, and customer perception was one of the things the tm scored well on.But we both know that its not the equiptment that cleans carpets, its the person, and there are lots of people using expensive equipment that do a horrible job, and there are guys with rugdoctors who care and are great.But, the ones who make the money, in the long run, are the ones that show their worth and their skill.I think I have decided on a king cobra pro, and a rotary drimaster.Hooked up to an on truck generator the pro should do a great job as a truck mount in disguise, and on apartments and offices, its mobility scores well.

As for the website, thanks, but thats a temporary site..the new one is looking like it will be tvery nice!!

Plus you can do flood restoration.. which is BIG BUCKS and upholstery, drapery, tile etc. etc. etc.

So the equation is flawed.

I also rarely have people that would come up to my smaller TM, but with the big TM it is almost a daily experience.  Most look out there windows then as I am cleaning up they come over and start talking and asking questions.  The investment is a though one though especial now with the economy slowing down.   bubbleberry

212 heat, 150- psi, 3 stage vac dual hard surface/carpet cleaning machine.

I can clean ANYTHING a truck mount can.Carpets are dry as I am leaving, I can do car upholstery, furniture and a 30 story high rise apartment building.

I use no gas, as it runs on electricity, when it needs serviced I can swap it out for another machine without losing any work, and it makes LOADS of noise.

PLUS when I tell my customers that its not the song its the singer, when I tell them that my machine has the CRI Gold Standard, and when I tell them that truck mounts lose 1 degree of heat and one pound of pressure for every ft of hose,they usually get the picture.

AND, i still have my bonnet machine sitting ready for those quicky jobs.

No doubt the truck mount is handy, and powerful,and it makes lots of noise and uses lots of gas, but as I said before, its not the song, its the singer.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing Equipment

When it comes to commercial carpet cleaning, having the right equipment is essential for achieving the best results. There are several key features to consider when choosing equipment for commercial carpet cleaning, and in this ultimate guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know.

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing carpet cleaning equipment is the type of carpet you will be cleaning. Different carpets require different cleaning methods and equipment, so it’s important to choose equipment that is suitable for the type of carpet you will be working with. Whether it’s low pile carpet, high pile carpet, or even specialty carpets, having the right equipment for the job is crucial.

Another key feature to consider is the size of the area you will be cleaning. If you will be cleaning large commercial spaces, you will need equipment that can cover a larger area and handle heavy-duty cleaning.

Durability and reliability are also important factors to consider when choosing carpet cleaning equipment. Commercial carpet cleaning can be tough on equipment, so it’s crucial to choose equipment that is built to withstand heavy use and will not break down easily. Look for well-known, reputable brands like Kanghome that are known for producing high-quality, reliable equipment.

In addition to the type of carpet and the size of the area, consider the cleaning method that will be most effective for the job. There are various cleaning methods available, including hot water extraction, dry cleaning, and steam cleaning. Each method requires different equipment, so it’s important to choose equipment that is compatible with the cleaning method you will be using.

When choosing equipment for commercial carpet cleaning, it’s also important to consider the overall efficiency and ease of use. Look for equipment that is easy to maneuver and operate, as well as equipment that offers features like adjustable water pressure and temperature control for more precise cleaning.

Finally, consider the cost and value of the equipment. While it’s important to invest in high-quality equipment, it’s also important to consider the overall cost and value. Look for equipment that offers a good balance of performance and affordability, and consider factors like warranty and customer support.

In conclusion, when it comes to commercial carpet cleaning equipment, there are several key features to consider. From the type of carpet and the size of the area to durability, cleaning method, efficiency, and cost, it’s important to carefully consider all factors when choosing equipment for commercial carpet cleaning. By keeping these key features in mind and choosing reputable brands like Kanghome, you can ensure that you have the right equipment for the job and achieve the best possible results in commercial carpet cleaning.
