Why you need this program

Special note to custodial managers:

It is very frustrating to send your workers to clean a carpet or a chair to only discover the next day that the job was botched. Now you have to send someone to correct all the mistakes. And, do-overs are expensive.

You thought they had all the skills to pull off the job. So what happened? There is a big difference between a cleaning worker who has learned to mix chemicals and run a machine and a trained technician who can troubleshoot all types of challenges. There is a lot to understand about the chemistry, dwell times, repeated applications, drying times, and general problem solving with each distinct job.

Why not let us help with the training. Our new and improved Carpet and Floor Care training programs focus on dozens of troubleshooting skills. If a carpet or floor tech does not understand all the challenges and diagnostic skills, they can be more of a liability than an asset to your operations.

All of the challenges can be met with our training program. It can truly make your crew members experts at what they do.

Special note to carpet and floor care contractors:

Once you have properly trained carpet techs on your team, new markets will open up for you. A majority of cleaning contractors do not have qualified technicians. Once I had trained my own crews, I was able to take away dozens of carpet jobs from many of the major janitorial contractors in my trade area. They had office cleaning crews, but their carpet crews simply couldn’t produce the results that I could.

Make carpets look almost new

With our program, you will learn all of my trade secrets including my marketing strategies. Just two guys and a van can consistently bring in $1,000 each day in repeat work. You have nothing to lose by providing the training manuals with tests and diplomas to make your crews the very best in your city.

Special note to individual custodians or janitors:

Over the past forty-five years, I have worked with a couple of hundred different cleaning crews at hospitals, universities, school systems, government facilities, cleaning contractors and the list goes on. In a majority of the cases, the manager and the carpet crews were lacking in knowledge on how to solve almost any carpet cleaning problem.

That is where we come in. Our carpet and floor care programs are extremely thorough and advanced. By studying them you will gain new skills and knowledge that very few custodians ever master.

Our training program and diploma will set you apart from the others. You could even keep your day job and work weekends cleaning carpet on your own. We have many contractors who are earning around $100 an hour. Why not upgrade your skills today and become an expert at your job?
