Can't argue that🤷🏼‍♂️ Mike has done it several times. He would probably rotate it in if he was doing that much anymore. I'm just guessing, not speaking for him.

Other than me and Frank I don't know anyone here that thinks VLM is good way to clean Residential
The line forms behind me junior. I have been using vlm for forty eight years. I also run truck mounted equipment and on occasion, portables. Different horses for different courses.

A true professional is method-agnostic—guided not by habit, convenience, or preference, but by what the surface, soil, and situation require, both scientifically and ethically.

Fellas ..

I’ve run just about every method over the years, and they all have their place.
What I’ve learned is this..when the method starts deciding the job instead of the condition of the carpet, we’re no longer thinking like professionals.
The surface, soil, and situation should always lead… not the system we prefer.

True professional??? OK???,

Very soaked, urine, filthy, nasty blood stained, greasy grimy!
1 inch tall carpet fiber.

VLM Can't touch it walk away😢
Bane Clene Can't touch walk away😥
370 Can't touch walk away😢
Butler Can't touch walk away😢
870 Everest Can't touch walk away😢
Frankenstein "maybe"🤔

Only true Professional with both Scientifically and Ethically CAN HANDLE THIS JOB!

So everyone else better tell their customer they can't handle this job🫣

And call their competitor who owns the Aero Tech.🤙

And if you don't you're not a true PROFESSIOAL... Amen🙏🙂

If the definition of cleaning is removing dirt or debris from a surface, can we really call VLM with encap “cleaning”? I think process, appearance, or maybe even magic, is more accurate.

But I’ll give you guys one hell of a marketing plan if you wanna call it cleaning. You come in, swirl your bonnets, move the dirt around and “crystallize” it. Then put your customer on a weekly payment plan. After that, you just keep coming back ,week after week and vacuum up a few more “crystals” until they are all gone. Now you have cleaned.

And now the customer is ready for another swirl.

And if you don't think you're not soaking the backing of the carpet and the pad with your 750 PSI pump!!!

And pulling with your 9.3 vacuum, that is pulling all that MUD MAKING out of the backing thought the carpet.

You will be going BACK and Back and Back because all that re-soil that will dry on-top of the carpet 🫣

Just remember after your customers, recall you back because of the re-soil and MUD MAKING,

You better have one hell of a marking plan to keep them???

May I suggest monthly POSTCARDS😜

My lord almighty! Did you forget how your truckmount worked, or even a porty for that matter? Much less a Bane? You do know a Bane couldn't reach 750 psI if it had to. You lost me somewhere along the way, but that's ok, no need to explain.
