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.

Ethically?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...
Totally Disagree!!!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.

1/4"-1" inch of yarnTotally Disagree!!!
Learn how to get it clean with what you have???
It's only a 1 inch fiber. and some soil!!!
I don't go to the moon everyday....![]()
Yes, it is...1/4"-1" inch of yarn
1/4" of backing
1/2" pad
Subfloor...
All absorbent.
And if you don't think you're not soaking the backing of the carpet and the pad with your 750 PSI pump!!!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.
Well played, sir! This made me giggle.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![]()
