Donald,
I have spent several hours reading through the forums. I sure am glad that I found this forum BEFORE I purchased any equipment.
I worked my way through college working for Stanley Steamer back in the 80's.
My wife and I own a business that is very seasional and thought that adding a second business cleaning carpets would be great for the "off season" and a compliment to our existing business.
My question to you is exactly what equipment would you start with today. We would like to work in the residential and commercial (rental units and apts) markets.
Portable extractors make the most sense for our beginning budget. Or perhaps we should "bite the bullet" and purchase a van and truck mount.
I read on several of your answers about offering a variety of solutions for the customer. I.e. would you like Dry, Bonnet or Steam.
I think that it would be wise to be able to offer all three methods.
Please make any suggestions about equipment and chemicals.
Thank you,
Gregn
