My voicemail always refers customers to my website that does a good job of detail. I always refer to my system as low moisture or oscillating pad extraction OPE I invite them to watch to satisfy their curiosity.
 I don't think most want to know all the details only want results and may ask what the difference between my system and others is.
 I don't care what the mechanics tool brand is that works on my equipment or the machines a doctor may use on me I'm only interested in results.

Management-Sales-Marketing / Before You Groupon

It appears that some Groupon offers may be considered the same as gift cards. Gift cards may be good for 5 years. Groupon lost the law suit.

I met my wife whilst we were both in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2009 and after some time doing the long distance relationship thing, I moved here about a year ago. I still call Australia home however and get back as much as possible.
Thanks for the well wishes Mike.  :ph34r:

Actual MSDS info from a popular competitor. Why would you mess with this stuff in any amount or dilution?
The last bit of MSDS info was from a spotter. How many people pour on the spotter and use their finger? How many people apply cleaning solution every day and breathe in the mist from the sprayer? I wear glass and have cleaned for almost 30 years. From a regular tee Jet type tip you will aerosolize your cleaning solution fairly easily. When my glasses had a residue from the chemical on them at the end of the day you be rest assured that I was also breathing in that stuff. My nose is lower than my eyes. This kind of stuff in cumulative be careful!
So what can you do? Educate yourself on the products you use. Discontinue or severely limit the use of products with MSDS info like the above. Switch your spray tips to low drift or ultra low drift tips to eliminate or greatly reduce the amount of aerosolized spray. I have installed these types of tips on the CarpetMax for years and now the MiniMax. I have seen the benefit of these tips that come from the pesticide industry (in part) to control overspray. Why do I mention these tips? It’s the right thing to do. My goal is to start a campaign to influence every manufacture in our industry to switch. They cost about the same and install the same in many cases. Lets protect our cleaners. Share the spray tip info.

I’m so serious about this that when you order a case or more of any of my products, just ask and I will give you a tip for FREE. I will carry 8003 and 11004. These are low drift tips and are suitable for up to 60 psi. If your sprayer is over 60, it will reduce the efficiency of the tip but it will still be better than a normal tip. If you order online, just call 877-477-1615 or email me at info@bonnetpro.com and request the tip at the time of your order. I will not be selling these tips. Not for use over 100 psi.

Hello, Since you said you are new to this you may want to watch:http://bonnetpro.com/landing/how_to_encap.html
This will go over a single and two step method for low moisture.

Your pad choice will be determined by soil load, dry time, and also area to be covered. If I'm cleaning 40,000 feet in one day I wont be using cotton (as good as they are) for that kind of footage or not for most of it. Like picking a tire for a race coarse your pad and or bonnet should also be chosen for the specific issues with a given job. The video will help to start to lay some of the ground work for you.
