Guess I need to introduce myself
« on: January 16, 2012, 01:11:17 PM »
My name is Joe Gilstrap. I started my carpet cleaning business 10 years ago from scratch. I live in Beaver Dam, KY.
Started out with a new RotoVac Power Wand and a Mytee Speedster and my vehicle was a Chevy pickup with a camper top. Just about lost everything I owned the first year. The second year our business doubled and continued to double
for the next 5 years. We have never had a year that we didn't grow.

I ran the Speedster for 2 years, then got a van and a new Bridgepoint/Prochem TM. Ran the TM for 3 years then I became aware of low moisture cleaning. Gradually evolved into low moisture, sold the TM and I will probably be a low moisture cleaner
until I retire.
My low moisture tools are a Cimex, 2 crbs, a Challenger, a Orbot and I recently purchased a new Mini Max.

So greetings everyone.  ;D

Your cleaning history sounds just like mine going between methods  :crazy2:

Would love to see more videos of the mini-max  ;)

Welcome Joe. Your name sounds familiar. Think I have seen it on Paddyland?

Welcome Joe...I'm in Louisville. Sounds like you have some good equipment. This is a great place to be a part of. I also started out with a rotovac and portable. Then went to a prochem tm (used), sold that in 2007. Got our of cleaning for awhile and came back late 2010 with low moisture. Been part of this board though since 2008.
