We don't do cheap deals either. I've found Stanly Steamers website and price calculator, and we price ourselves to be in the same price range, often higher than stanly too. We charge $70 per area up to 300 ft per area, with a minimum of $150. It works very well. Sell quality, family service...

Same! They charged a lot for leads which they sent to at least 3 companies. I rarely got to speak to the customer, and when I finally did, they already booked with someone else. And most of the time, I responded fast, like a minute after getting the lead. But no answer, I assume because they...

Is Ed still here on TMF? I've still got my recoil. I bought it used 13 years ago, and it's still a reliable backup machine. I bought a new speedster several years ago, and had a some problems with it. I was disapointed, but I think I got them ironed out now, but it was not good having a brand...

Your link is forbidden ??

Not in my market. Every carpet cleaner I know of does upholstery.

I like it! Is it business card size?

I10 years ago, it was great, but every year it gets worse

I've got a chem tex. I like the simplicity of the machine, it's easy to work on, but the sensors are frequent problems. I got a contact who works at chem tex and helps guys out on the phone if you want his number, send me a dm.

Hello guys, I've got a lightly used 2 year old Mytee 1001 dx 200 porty thats been giving us intermittent vacuum problems. The one vac would just stop running, but then it would come on again. It might run like a champ for weeks, then stop. Is this a common problem? The other porties I ran never...

Thanks for the replies Ed. My cam bearing question was not whether to replace it, but rather, is a 110 cam a proper match for a 1/3 hp baldor motor and a series 205 pumptec pump?? I stripped out the valve bodies, and boiled them in vinegar all day yesterday. Getting ready to rebuild with all...

I should have known to post about this a long time ago!! Excellent feedback guys, thanks so much!! The most obvious answer is powder versus premixed!! Can't believe I didn't think of that. Time to experiment with liquids. Another question. I've been doing tile with a gheko wand up till this...

Ceramic and porcelain. I noticed a big difference going from 2 and 3 scoops to one, so maybe we'll try a half scoop. The other thing we noticed is that with one scoop, it will mop off even if its dry, whereas, with 2 plus scoops it takes a machine to and horsehair pad to buff it off.

Not on the grout lines, but a haze on the tiles. When I used 2 or 3 scoops per gallon, the haze had to be buffed off with a 175 and a horsehair pad. The other day I had it happen, after one scoop per gallon, and the haze came up with a damp paper towel followed by a dry paper towel.

I've only been cleaning tile and grout for 10 years now, and I think I'm overdue to explore this issue with the rest of you guys. We occasionally get callbacks due to patches of filmy kind of a residue in places. It used to be a more common problem when I used extra strong prespray, but we have...

So how's Todd the cleaner doing now? Looking back, I'm wondering if he had covid19. I'm pretty sure myself and some close friends had it back in December and January.

Great thread! I'm rebuilding my old time Speedster 1000. Went to pumptec, they suggested a replacement for the 205V that's currently in the machine. I was familiar with the replacement because I had installed one in my Cross American Recoil, and I liked the smaller size (DC with rectifier) and...

What kinds of equipment are you finding the most helpful? I'm preparing a storage space to start doing rugs off site. Hopefully, gonna be rolling it out officially in a week or two. Nothing fancy or too involved to start. Just want to get my feet wet, and get a feel for the market.

So Rob, 4 years later, what are your thoughts on this? Asking for a friend.... ;)

Excellent idea!

Sounds like a lot of ball busting effort for $1500. lol

Back to the drawing board. I'm doing my research now. Thanks for all the posts. Ron

testing how to post Good advice! Listen carefully to what the Dr is trying to explain to you, ask questions, get an understanding and take notes. Then go home and google it, read up, get an understanding. WebMD is a good site to get educated. It's like troubleshooting your truckmount. You...

Has everyone got paid yet? They contacted me, not sure I'm interested, certainly not if they don't pay promptly. I get paid on commercial at completion, sometimes a few weeks, but none of this 60 90 days. In fact, I even get advance deposits on some jobs. Not bragging, just saying that's not...

Wow......

Need bigger dehu's!!!! :unsure::unsure::eek::D:D
