These days any leg up we can get on the competition is helpful. The competition in carpet cleaning and restoration services is getting increasingly stiff and complex. No question about it- knowing more than the other guy is a great “edge”!
Shaw Industries is the largest carpet manufacturer in the 
world. Befitting this dominant position, Shaw has also been the most involved manufacturer on the carpet maintenance side. So Shaw has been testing cleaning equipment, wands, chemicals, vacuum cleaners, etc. for the past two decades.
Shaw has now created a web-based training program called MAC (Maintenance and Cleaning). Instead of reading the latest unfounded rumors/uninformed opinions on industry discussion forums you can see and hear exactly what Shaw recommends for cleaning. (Don’t get me wrong- I love “the boards”! But we need to cast our “learning net” even wider.)
You can even get the “straight scoop” on encapsulation technology on this Shaw site. (Contrary to what you may have heard Shaw feels “encapping” is a strong part of an overall maintenance program.) So after getting your basic technical cleaning education all you need to do is know how to sell your regular carpet cleaning services!
In addition to watching the Shaw training you can also take practice exams to lock in the knowledge you received.
