Well this is what we have been working on for the last year. A complete state of the art school for carpet cleaners and diverse services that many of them either offer or want too offer. This school will be something different than present day stuffy school.s that have lost focus on what really matters, delivering mind blowing quality and knock your socks off service. To do this we have gathered a unique and complete variety of machines, tools, accessories and chemistries of all makes and brands. A place where you not only get some class but a whole lot hands on. But thats not where present day schools fail the most.
They fail to teach you to separate yourself and how to separate yourself from your competition. Ive spent the last 35 years cleaning and educating myself to just that end. Everyday I passionately pursue knowledge and excellence in our industry. Tirelessly through this forum, Youtube, Facebook, PM's, phone calls, emails and text messages I have dedicated myself to helping others. This I feel will be the pinnacle. This is what I want to eventually retire doing, teaching. Hopefully some of you can join me in our TMF Rookie 2 Pro Series class.
However I won't go into it anymore here. If you want to know more about it feel free to click "School" in the TMF navabar above or just click the link below. I will close with this. The TMF certification will mean something. Like the marines old slogan it will go to the few, the proud. To those who really want to raise themselves up and promise to maintain higher standards. Many here on TMF have already reached that status. To those of you who feel they could use some help then this class is for you!
I will personally be teaching these classes. There will be an introductory price for the week in a class of 10 or more. Private one on one classes will be 2995.00. We will announce the date soon. Here's to your success.

WARNING!!!
Do not buy another piece of equipment, attend another cleaning expo, school, distributor, buy a franchise or consult another cleaning industry “Guru” until you read the following from Rob Allen!
This could literally be the difference between success and failure to your company!
There is something unkempt in our industry. Something not right residing just below the surface. Just like the carpets we clean, the majority of the grime is deep down and takes immense effort to truly clean out. Many in our industry fail to see it, and fall prey to it before they realize what is really happening. I do feel the time has come to shed light on the fallacies that circulate around and threaten our industry. Before I continue, I would like to present my qualifications for those who may question my background.
I have spent a combined total of 35 years in the cleaning industry, and as the owner and administrator of TruckMountForums I have produced over 250 “How to” YouTube videos, including a complete DVD on how to perform carpet, UPH, spotting and tile/grout cleanings. I founded the first and largest cleaning industry mobile app and digital magazine. I have attended multiple shows nationwide, and have lent aid to several other industry professionals who had fallen down on their luck.
"I can say with certainty there isn’t much I haven’t seen or experienced at this point”.
One thing has stuck out and become glaringly apparent- there is a serious lack of proper education.
Its a large reason why we have so many people representing themselves as professionals, driving the price down, and giving the rest of us a bad name. It makes it that much more difficult for those of us who do quality work to charge what the job and what WE are worth.
There is an issue with some companies who sell subpar equipment and watered down chemicals- and this is unacceptable in my eyes.
Then you have scores of cleaners who have spent many thousands on equipment and chemistry to only to have it collecting dust in their garage or shop. Why? The reasons range from not personally testing it, doing comparison testing to see if it fits their business model, or even their cleaning style. This is usually a result from lack of experience, over zealous sales reps, to blindly following online fads. Schools should help, right? No! I’ve seen countless people go to schools and learn little to nothing about real world cleaning, no on hands training and limiting equipment to “brands” that they only sell. Comparison testing and demoing is the best way to buy equipment, tool and accessories, hands down!
Schools should be the resolution to the aforementioned problems but in essence they have become the promulgators of cleaner aggravations: unnecessary prices and inability to clean many furnishings properly. Some offer certs, but its been reported that some of these places don’t even send the certificate of completions out or if they do its not in a timely manner. What about expos? I love them especially for camaraderie. But I’ve attended countless big expos and see cleaners buying the latest and greatest of everything, to only leave not knowing if it fits them or their business model properly. The selection is good but still limited to whats on display and biased sellers of their wares promising its the end all to all your cleaning woes. Not good!
I’ve received letters from mom and pop companies from all over, that are quite frankly heartbreaking, because they can’t catch a break and can’t get their business to where it needs to be. Why? Because along with the problems associated above they don’t have a good business model to emulate or information on the latest technology used to promote their business. There are just no schools or classes that teach proper online promotion skills and sales ability. So what can one do? You’re probably fed up like me and asking the question below. So...
Enough with the problems. What is the solution? We have been busy for the past year working on just that.
