    Did a doozy of a job today with my Cimex. Made sure to take a few pictures. Will you guys look at them, and tell me which you think would be best for putting on my website, as far as "This is a good pic" or "This one SUCKS"?

    I don't understand how these machines work. Where does all of the dirt, oil, and other nasty stuff in the carpet go. As you can see, I have no experience with these kind of machines.

    Don't have a lot of time. Google "Encapsulation" and read up on it.

    I like the hallway pictures 7-9 that show a contrast from dirty to clean. Also like one in the board room, I would just blur their name unless they gave permission to use it.

    I think picture #3 shows the biggest contrast between dirty and clean.

    You guys use the brushes? Really? That carpet doesn't look that bad, but what do you do when it is?

    Brushes? and using jondon crap...

    Here is the encap story, the short version.
    I can hire any moron off the street to push a buffer back and forth for $10 hr and matter of fact can use govt programs to have the state cover their wages for 6 months. That = 3 cents to 4 cents a sqr ft and we still make a fat profit. You or any other carpet cleaner will never understand that world, so stick to premium service.

    Used brushes today.

    Tried out a new product too.

    Carpet was in great shape, just maintenance cleaning.

    We wanted to experiment with some different stuff today.

    Cimexed some and hwe some

    I'm just asking. How much have you actually done with the Cimex, how much experimentation have you done, what do you prefer for light/mid/heavy soiling, etc...

    Ross we just had this discussion on USP

    Cimex + Vortex + Encapsulation = USP
    Who else out of 5000 carpet cleaners in your market can do that?

    Plenty have one or the other but who has all?
