Learning to see if I can place a link and or a video in my blog.  What a terrific trip with two of my three sons!  We all got to see a new part of the state that we hadn’t seen before.  Lots of BEAUTIFUL places.

Also learned that we are probably stuck within the confines of a “metropolis” like Fairbanks/North Pole!  We found very little in the carpet cleaning market north of here :-)…..

If you haven’t had the opportunity to see parts of Alaska, man it is worth it!  Although it would have been nice to find a way to spend a bunch of time at each stop… and explore a lot of what we did fly over, we couldn’t have asked Wright’s Air Service to be any kinder to us, my son’s and I will remember the day for a lifetime.  THANK YOU!

Do you see it now? 🙂

Doesn’t always work this way, but when it does work it sure saves a lot of money! Amazing what you can accomplish with loads of patience and a little razor blade.

People that think sports, outdoors, games, hobbies are fun?!? …. They just haven’t cleaned carpets for a living!  1400 square foot dining area with loads of goodies to work on… How can life be more fulfilling?

Unbelievable day! Businesses, houses, rentals, pets, dye removal, odor removal Yipes! EXCITING :-). Some of the pictures from today above.

Amazing how much soil a good quality carpet can hide… What seems to be a ‘pristine clean’ carpet sure can be deceiving once you start cleaning it! Neat to see the real color! :-)…

One great thing about carpet: it holds soil and hides it (not like seeing a hard floor where all the dirt is visible).  That is a terrific benefit until you consider that even your weight with stocking feet on that same fiber containing soil is now ‘grinding’ the face of the yarns (like sandpaper) and permanently marring it.  Like it says on my website; “carpets hardly ever wear out, they only ‘ugly’ out”…

Our second job…. Although I’m probably biased, we do a better job after prepping the carpet than most do after everything …. I know …. What an ego.

We can even do a really good job with a counter rotating brush ‘preparation’ cleaning and plain ‘ole hot water extraction machine (steam)!

Yes, we have it within our capacity to use hot water extraction to clean a carpet!

We still like to follow it with our newer Trinity equipment to improve our results if we can justify the extra time.

I’m sure life as a carpet/floor cleaning service provider has to be roughly the same for most any person in the United States?  Not so!  I have the privilege of talking with dozens of carpet cleaning company owners all around the country and us crazy Fairbanks & North Pole area residents are unique!  Or as some have referred to us as…. just plain ‘special’ :-).  Because we have such a diverse group, our company often gets to test new equipment as it is developed to the prototype phase… what it takes years to learn in the ‘lower’ states can often be learned here in mere days or weeks!  Partially because of the diversity (we may clean a cabin without water in the morning, then clean a large business, then clean a million dollar home, then a restaurant or a dog team owners home… ) but also because I personally have the capacity to break any machine quicker than most people can get their shoes on… I can discover ALL  the weak points!

Hmmmm, maybe that would be an interesting ‘sister blog’… stories of equipment that survived, thrived and is currently in use compared to the piles of test equipment (and pieces/parts) that I have around the shop…..

Not to be outdone by Fairbanks… We are starting a few in North Pole….
