I'm from Aussie and enjoying your videos....cheers

[@andrewszeto121]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I do have some questions in terms of moving and transporting the equipment. I currently own a mid-size SUV and I don't plan on getting a commercial van anytime soon, but I do want to get myself a hot water extractor. I want to know difficult it is to maneuver the extractor around. Given that most extractors will be too tall to sit upright in my SUV, it will need to sit sideway. Is there any risk in damaging the unit if I transport it on it's side and how difficult is it to load and offload the extractor? As well, what about doing older apartments that do not have elevators. How do you manage to get the unit up several flights of stairs for these apartments that are on the 2nd or 3rd floor?

[@WO19939]

In a similar spot as you with an suv. I removed a cargo section of my trunk that lowered it enough to fit the extractor upright. Not sure what you drive but worth a shot!

[@duece-rv3fp]

I did mine in a 2005 Honda Civic starting out😂

[@mindful__gardener]

Good question I was also thinking about this. Will I need a ramp? Or a unit with wheels and pull it up each stair one by one?

[@WiljonGuarin-c4o]

Get an optimum floor cleaner extreme 800 psi portable. That thing is amazing and cleans like a truck mount.

[@Gymbum365]

Such a good video!

[@Jjournell1987]

Can you use the orbital for cleaning flooring (hardwood/tile)?

[@Missroyaltyxx]

Yesss! Absolutely.. He has sum videos on it

[@javiermarquez486]

what is the model of that yellow vaccume

[@carey4863]

So, if you work alone and have a smaller van like a Pro Master City and have a portable extractor that is heavy. How are you loading and unloading extractor in and out of van ?

[@Prestonrho]

what do you fill the portable with? just water or a mix of water and carpet detail? is there a difference between the pre spray and what u put in the portable?

[@wesleyvangorder2606]

That’s what I was wondering as well. Are you prespraying then just extracting with water or is there soap in the portable as well

[@chrismcdaniel3746]

Another great video. Thank you

[@dfreddy19681]

Thinking about getting into the biz. Was looking at the Drymaster systems Vovax set up. What do you think about their stuff?

Do you have to buy a wand for the extraction ?

Usually comes with machine

I use Pro team and recomend it also

I think I pretty much have all that equipment. And I'm using green dragon but looking at a strategy for marketing. What do you recommend

[@stevetheyardguy1738]

I recently bought an Oreck orbiter and a Dupray neat steamer and migjt buy a $150 car detail extractor until i can afford a Ninja or something. As for chemicals Flex powder with Citrus solve 12.0-12.5 Ph, Oreck Soil Release pre spray, Ceramic and stone floor cleaner and a bottle of Red 1. I figured id use the Flex Citrus solv as a general Pre spray but im concerned that 12.0 Ph is too high and maybe I should get some Carpet Details (or Fabulous like the Wheeler Bros) as my general Pre spray and the Flex Citrus for heavy spot removal. Any thoughts?

[@greenrhinoproject]

Yes 12 ph to high for general cleaning solution you should only use that high p h on restoration type cleaning .

[@stevetheyardguy1738]

@@greenrhinoproject Do you think that a ph of around 7 is ideal for general cleaning?

[@SergioPerez-jl5gk]

How much is that machine you have in this video?

[@jesusvargas4793]

If I'm pre agitating with a powr-flite multi-surface scrubber. Do you think I'd be ok using a 100psi cold water extractor?

[@greenrhinoproject]

You can make it work just add hot water. and upgrade when you can

How do you clean stairs with an orbital? Surely you would need a HWE unit for stairs? Great videos by the way Green Rhino, very informative and honest. .....James from Manchester U.K.

[@marcuss1479]

Are the mytee extractors any good?

Never owned one but they do seem to have some good ones

Is the ninja 500 a good portable? Keep up the awesome videos!

[@greenrhinoproject]

I think so but never used. Make sure it has at least 500 PSI with heat good suction

[@ChrisG-ql3ds]

Green Rhino carpet cleaning i bought 20 volume, and that chem is amazing! Do you still spray Carpet Details over the 20 volume treated areas before extraction? Or do you try to avoid pre spraying over the 20 volume, and just extract?

[@nogginbarrel9540]

Thank you for this helpful video. :)

I just bought a big green is that good for starting up....plus I got shark duo scrubber and a steamer mop....could I do a start business with what I got....I have the experience just not the money lol

You can start business with anything. I only have the orbiter and rug doctor. Over a year and strong .

Nice video Tom , there's $ to be made out there

[@rob1lastra]

When you first started did you any type of insurance or contingency plan if something were to go wrong? Great videos btw.

[@greenrhinoproject]

I did not have any insurance when I first started only one I started working for property management. Use safe products and stay away from natural fiber such as wool or silk and oriental rugs untill you learn proper techniques.

[@kriscateslive]

Would you not recommend starting out with a rug Dr pro?

[@greenrhinoproject]

No the solution tank is only 1.5 gallons, doing stairs would very difficult, it has no wand hook up so cleaning upholstery is out, plus cpm or suction is not strong enough will leave carpet to wet. I get many customers who own rug dr but call me because they dont like the results. So in good conscious I cant recommended. Sorry !

[@kriscateslive]

@@greenrhinoproject thank you!

[@mauriliotorres864]

Kris Cates I have a rug doctor . As long as you don’t spray so much and wet the carpet too much. You can start up with anything and go ahead make money. Machine not going to make you better . Chemicals which will do the work and experience .

[@mikebonom]

Great video. Thank you. How do ypu go about pricing a job? I see companies around me advertising 3 rooms for $88, and then I know theres other companies charging much more. Do you charge differently for encapsulation vs wet extraction? Also, is there any benefit to doing both?

[@greenrhinoproject]

Do both. $88 for 3 rooms are hurting themselves and working to many hours. $40 per room is a fair proce to start.

[@dfreddy19681]

NOVAX sorry

[@greenrhinoproject]

Never used there products so cant recommend sorry.

[@sam3d]

Ppl watching this vid! The advise is good, except, FORGET THE SO CALLED LOW MOISTURE METHOD. It’s nothing but a scam, I know, I started with VLM and as soon as I got my first HWE machine, I realized I had been scamming my customers!

[@greenrhinoproject]

Its not a scam but I do Believe HWE is superior. Chem dry is proof you can succeed in VLM. It Work
