I took the Carpet Care Expert Level training and I was very impressed by the knowledge the instructor had and all the high level of information being taught. In this class, I learned not only the different methods of cleaning carpets the correct way but also valuable information regarding the carpet cleaning business. I recommend this class to anyone in the carpet cleaning business.
Gavin used the “Low Moisture” process and in less than 20 minutes, this is the result…and the carpet was dry. (The carpet is 6 years old and shows some wear in the traffic lane)

Podcast Topic: The importance of being an Infection Prevention Expert at Schools. Every year it is estimated that over 60 million school days lost every year to influenza and norovirus according to ISSA, costing schools billions of dollars in lost federal funding. And, according to the CDC, this year’s flu season is currently the worst over the past 10 years!
And consider this, according to a Keep Kids Healthy research conducted by Victory, over 40% of school custodians and administration admit to not having any infection prevention protocols.
Knowing these statistics, something needs to change! The way schools are cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting is not working. We want to help!

True Health, a regional healthcare facility recently installed new VCT flooring and the typical wisdom was to put down chair mats for the rolling office chairs. It was quickly noted that the mats moved on the VCT and they were not the best solution.
After some consultation with the facility maintenance manager, it was suggested that the CasterTire Floor Savers from Expanded Technologies would be a ‘best practice’ approach. Here are some pics of them putting them on and how they fit on the chairs. We will update you later after they have had them in place for a while to see how they are doing for True Health.

CasterTire Savers will not mark the floor, so no need for a chair mat.
