New Jersey is having a beautiful April with not much rain and temps mostly in the 50's and 60's during the day

Next week 70's NICE


I love Spring

And not much rain means a lot of work

I'm semi-retired and just do 1 big job or 2 small jobs a day so that means working Saturdays for me and if I must Sunday too

Didn't have much work all winter but going to the gym keeps me in shape for a busy Spring


Life is BETTER when you use the VLM Method !!!

If I have 2 small jobs I usually schedule a 9 am and a 1:30

Do the first job come home eat lunch and then go to the 1:30

Today is Saturday and I did one job at 11 am


Life is Good !!!

Frank I did a TRASHED Apartment last week with my 13'' Hawk 175-300

Dirt doesn't stand a chance going up against the 300

I should have taken pics but I didn't. The carpet was only one year old. How do people get something that dirty in one year. How is it possible ?

My Apt Complex wanted to save carpet because it was only one year old. Carpet looked like new when I was done

I used VacAway Double Trouble with Detonator scrubbed first with 14'' CRB then Bonnet Pro's Multi Brush with Fiber Pad and then 17'' Driver with 19'' Ironman Bonnets. I might not have needed to scrub with CRB but I was just experimenting to see what works on TRASHED carpet.

When I get TRASHED carpet now I use the 175-300 Hawk


I love VLM !!!

These TM guys can talk smack all they want?
But you and I Know!!!

WHEN YOU KNOW YOU KNOW!!!🏆

And it makes me laugh that they think we only clean 2/3 of the fiber

there's no doubt in my mind. We're cleaning all the fiber "Totally Convinced"

No human has talk me out of this belief!!! Maybe one day but not today 🤔

Going back 10 years I was like them

I didn't know VLM could get the results I get today but I was open minded and loved the concept of VLM

It just made sense to me


The small job I did today was not easy but the results were outstanding

2 Bedrooms Hall and Steps

Customer asked for Business Cards so he could give them to friends and gave a $50 dollar tip

My customers love VLM !!!


You must have COMMON SENSE to understand all the ADVANTAGES for using the VLM Method !!!

The work you do, at least regarding the labor itself, is like cleaning with a portable minus the bucket brigade. And lots of large filthy diapers.

My equipment is lighter than yours, and all the filth gets memory-holed in my waste tank.

Do you have a dedicated washing machine for your bonnets that are saturated with carpet stank?

I don't think I mentioned this before?

I still had my truck mount set up in my van for over 5 years when I

started VLM full-time. I don't think I used it more than 3 to 5 times in that timeframe?[minus tile and water damage jobs]

George I love big tips for a job well done!!!💲💲💲
