Is there a gadget that this industry is missing?

its called a HOSER

Thanks buddy

I remember when it was first invented but didn't know it was still around.

It looks sturdier than Version 1 as well.

hell yes a better upholstery tool and vacuum cleaner that hits into the bleachers every time.... and there is no tile rinsing wand/tool that gets right to the baseboards and right in the corner and skinny's down to go around the toilet. f... yes there's tools that are missing.....

Just find me a good quart sized pump up sprayer and I’ll be good

the easy part was pulling it out....what was going to be tricky was having the vacuum reel..and possibly the solution reel sitting on a pivoting plate........

if your hoses come out the back...and you have to park on the street...it would be great to slide the reels out...and pivot them towards the door.....drop a locking pin in it to keep it from moving...
finish the job..everything is a straight pull back onto the reel....pivot it back and slide it into the van......

You are stuck on making a difficult solution to a simple problem.

Be nice to see something like a zipper with a spring loaded cylindrical brush in the middle that you could easily push back and forth.

Like a Zipperized-CRB?

Exactly. Either one rotating brush or 2 small counter rotating brushes. One of my favorite all time powerwashing was the old rug Doctor power brush. Slow because you used it like a drag wand. Effective because of the scrubbing action. Imagine if you could push something like that back and forth like a zipper

Care to expound on what features and functionality you'd be looking for?

Are you wanting to track it through each step of the process? Inspection/Identification, dusting, washing, rinsing, drying, final inspection, ready for delivery/pickup? Automatic customer notifications as its going through the process? Ticket system the client could be issued ticket number for each rug and see where it's at in the process based on what the technician has entered. Photos/documentation storage?

Barcode scanning? Need to sync information with any other programs or software? Do you need different user permissions? Dealing with payments? Mobile app?

I've thought about this quite a bit the last year.

Rug identification App would be awesome.

Do you find yourself thinking EVERY DAY "If only I had a________, this would go so much quicker or come out better..."

other than a two headed wand, what hasn't been invented yet?

A safe rotating scrubber for filtration lines. One you can stand up with and not take the paint off the walls.
