What do you guys say we do a Cleaners Lounge Loaner

I think we are all on the same page for the most part.

Raffle tickets to take part in loaner program
1 week trial period
Withhold reviews until all have completed program
Draw a winner from the group and let him choose which tool they want, auction off the other for help with future loaners
Compare the sapphire with the HF tool or Dri-master.

All that is left is to decide on the cost of the ticket. Once we know who wants to take part, we can figure out the participation cost. Then, if someone wants to purchase additional tickets for extras draws, all the better.

Min amount, maybe $20-30?.......with tix costing somewhere between $1-5 ea?

That's what we got as of today.

Thanks for taking the time to provide those stats, Ryan!   

Hey did ya check the total to see if it matched the total number of members? Lol.

I would venture to say the about 35 of those postless members are peanut gallery on lookers from the zipper war that was waged last month. Puts so e of the number so to perspective when you consider some variables.

Those stats look really good considering the forum is only five months young.

So far we have Mo, Ryan, Mil, and Davey participating in Upholstery Tool Loaner Program.

Floor Guy, Pro Touch and Terry would you guys be interested in participating? Anyone else interested? Ryan and Mil already own the SS tool so they will evaluating the hydrokinetic tool so we need a few more guys to test the SS tool.

If your not interested in participating you could also donate $10.00 for 2 raffle tickets for a chance to win the tools after the completion of the program.

I made a widget with the donation buttons. I started it off with a Cleaners Lounge donation of $100.00 and my $25.00 participation fee.

We can work on other ways to raise funds for the tools and continue to finalize the details of the program.

hey Mo, are we limited to 2 tickets? I would like to purchase 10, if so how can we do that at check out?

I can add another Donate but for a block of 5 & 10 tickets. Unfortunately I can't leave the amount blank on those buttons. You can also buy tickets by emailing me.

got to keep those numbers even, unless your gonna prorate at 5.00 per ticket.

Yeah $5.00 per ticket

We'll know if that participation fee is too much if we hear crickets or Davey and pull out  Actually Davey better not the amount of the participation fee was his idea.

But when you think about with a miniumum of 5.00 you could win a 4-500.00 dollar upholstery tool.

We could get the Hydro Kenitic tool first for you and Mil to test plus it's a little less expensive than the SS tool

Sounds like it is coming together...

Would you be interested in looking at the hydro kinetic? I just bought the SS but am interested in how the hydro performs.

Sorry about that Floor Guy I missed that.

I JUST NOW got home from work, and donating now............I'm not "Puss'n" out!

SO wow really,  we got the mods and me in on this...............I guess this forum needs A LOT more Mods!!!   

Or less cheap A$$ members!!    

So I see a $10 "donation" gets you 2 raffle tix..........so does that mean the $25 donation gets you 5 tix, or just entry into loaner?? I just did 25 couple times, guess it takes some time to show up on the forum add/amount thing huh?

Yes the 25.00 entry fee get you 5 tickets to the raffle The balance i have to update manually it's not immediate so only do it once. I see you donated a total of 50.00 do you want me to return 25.00 or did you want to purchase a total of 10 tickets.

Thanks for buying tickets Ryan, Davey Mil, and Peter.

Who else want's to test drive this tool?

Pro Touch?

Floor Guy is out? I guess Terry doesn't either.

Joe (Carpet Daddy) You think your techs might clean more upholstery if they had the SS Upholster Pro?

If you don't want to test it out buy some raffle tickets. If you win you can keep it or sell it. Were talking about 4 -500 dollar value here fellas.

I will be making some calls tomorrow to see if I can get these tools below retail so that we can get this program of the ground sooner than later.

That's correct, I wanted to 'donate' $50, but didn't see a way to manually select a dollar amount, so I did $25 twice.   


BTW, HEY cheap A$$es, lets DO THIS!!!!

I can call my rep at Jondon and ask her if she can sell them to you at the price I bought them last year ( $ 399 each out the door, no tax, and free shipping ) and I'll be buying some raffles tickets soon, I'm in Bed and too lazy to get up and grab my wallet

For those of you who are trying the tools out, if there are lots of hairs stuck in the chamber, please DO NOT pull the hairs out with pliers from the air relief window, you will damage the plastic pressure line in the chamber, don't ask me how I know, you need to take 4 screws out and open the chamber and pull those craps out of there.

You got SS Upholstery Pro tool for $399.00? Yes find out DP. Thanks

Not everyone got that price, I asked her and she asked her boss and her boss approved it, I think it's because I spent a whole lot of $$ on chemicals with them, I'll see if they can still do it for the same price, if not I'll ask her what's the lowest price and let you know, so you want 4 units, right ?
