Personally, the black brush is great for medium/heavy carpet agitation, it just takes longer to acheive a great scrub when compared to a full on rotary or CRB machine. Yes there is some rubbish out there plastic wands, chinese machines etc that simply scream RUBBISH!! however you don't tend to find the few good suppliers selling them.Īmerica still leads the way with much of what we use (hardware), many have tried to copy but few stand the test of time. Now is that poor equipment or an operator who's taken his eye off the ball or one who's blaming his poor results on his tools? It can take a skilled operator days or even weeks to get to grips with a new piece of equipment until he's finally satisfied that he has learned the desired skills to operate it to the best of its abilities.Ī craftsman rarely buys rubbish, but if he's not careful or goes in gun ho then his equipment will not perform well or to the best of its ability. We have a greater understanding of what we do, how what we do affects the immediate environment, the carpet & sub-floor, the inhabitants & many more.Ĭlients are expecting more nay demanding more of us, so what we know & what we use & how we use it becomes even more so important. For some textile cleaning has become an art form, a craft whereby the operator is now skilled & often qualified in what he or she does. Now we have more sophisticated tools & a lot more of them.

However, all the kit was so simple to use & it took a new boy just a few days to know how to use it properly (with the aid of an employer), as for vans.all your kit could fit in the back of a Escort van & you'd still have room! Over night drying was normal, leaving half the soil behind was considered ok & as for air movers.well in some cases you could have blown harder than them!! Chemicals were agitated with a hand brush & then rinsed out using a wand that'd knock you off balance if you stumbled due to their incredible weight!! In the old days it was so much more simple! We had bricks for extraction machines, they put out a lot of water & sucked up about half of it. Tis a very steep learning curve that you are on & one that will never let you see its end.
