Hey Steamers,I clean carpet because it's what i do Best!
To feed my family-put a roof over their heads
educate my children
tithe to my Church
The good Lord has given me talent,
i enjoy doing every day!
I always thought a brush was better but you and Oxy-dry like fiber padsGeorge,
Remember ,the red pad is your best friend!
It SCRUBS and HOLDS so much Soil before you extract with your bonnet.
Did i say PET HAIR!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLOLLOL
Make sure to give the fiber pad, a quick spray of something wet to help lubricate.I always thought a brush was better but you and Oxy-dry like fiber pads
You guys know better than me
I don't have any red but have some grey pads
I will give them a try
I like rentals because no customers around, I can experiment take as long as I want, and try different things
Your exactly right mix it up and have some fun and get paid to do it
Life is Good !!!
Great VLM Minds think alikeMake sure to give the fiber pad, a quick spray of something wet to help lubricate.

Great VLM Minds think alike
In his latest video Paul and his Son are using the Swirly and a red pad
That Swirly looks nice and has big wheels
Life is BETTER using VLM !!!

I get cancellations if it's going to rain
I always hear from customers. My kids and dogs go outside and just track in mud
It just doesn't make sense to get the carpets cleaned. I'm just wasting money
I can't blame them
The Cost of living in New Jersey is INSANE
But NO alligators

I just do 1-2 jobs a day and work Saturday and Sunday if needed

Paul and Robin,
Has been go for VLM community!
And the carpet cleaning community over ALL!!!

YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!How about the Men that got the VLM Revolution started
John Geurkink - Trinity
Rick Gelinas - Excellent Supply
Steve Smith - VacAway
I probably missed somebody but when I first started experimenting with VLM in 2012 they were the three leaders of VLM
It took me a few years to be a total believer but eventually it just made sense
Simpler Easier Way, Faster Dry Times, Huge Profits, Very Low Maintenance, Doors Closed, etc etc etc
And look at VLM Today. It has come a long way and is now the FUTURE of Carpet Cleaning
LESS water MORE agitation !!!

To vacuum?The true test is to come back the next day.
the next week.
the next month.
At least you admit they use vlm in big cities due to restrictions not because its better.You guys do realize? carpet cleaning companies in big cities,
San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, some of the most expensive real-estate Highrise condos use?
VLM, because of noise restriction.
not only is it here to stay,
but it will take over the industry?
No one is making new steam cleaning chemicals?
But everyone is coming out with NEW
VLM CHEMICALS!!!!!!
I wonder why? it's only been around for ---100 years..............
Steve, looks to be you are doing fine work!!!To vacuum?
Im usually back in a year and it still looks good except for the new spills or dog pee.
Maybe, you are Right????At least you admit they use vlm in big cities due to restrictions not because its better.
And the new chems might be because they need improvement still.
You wash pads in a washing machine to flush out the chems and dirt.Who's evidence yours or mine????
You wash pads in a washing machine "DUH"
Pads load up, depending on the soil load? Then you change them.
Homeowner vacuums every week with there $59 dollar Bissell.
I per vacuum with my Sanitary BEFORE cleaning! {JUST LIKE YOU?????}
Have you ask yourself that QUESTION???? Why do they?
Do they truly care about their PRODUCT????? {carpet manufacturers --What a JOKE!]
I make money and i would like you to make money!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM!!!
IT does take a little experience to know when to change your pad.You wash pads in a washing machine to flush out the chems and dirt.
But how do you know when they are loaded and need changing? They are not picking it all up from the start. Its being spread around.
You are assuming the homeowner vacuums at all. Then their vacuums brushroll is probably dirty if they do use it.
I bet you dont vacuum every job or you dont vacuum as thoroughly as you should. Its a time eater and you cross contaminate from job to job.
Carpet manufacturers care because they need to sell product. They know fiber damage occurs from friction. They recomend HWE and require it for warranty.
Im not anti vlm just dont believe its best or for every situation.
Yes im sure you guys are making money.
