Training at Carpet Cleaners Technical Conference
Posted by: | Comments
We just returned from a Carpet Cleaners Advanced Technical Conference at the Drieaz Training Center in Nashville Tennessee. The worlds greatest carpet cleaners attended this exclusive advanced training event.
We were honored to be invited back again this year to help teach hundreds of the best carpet cleaners and carpet cleaning business owners from all over the country. The events’ other instructors included some of the foremost experts in the carpet cleaning industry, offering classroom education, and interactive, hands on, live demonstrations.
Hands-on technical classes on carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, area rug cleaning, leather cleaning and hard surface cleaning; carpet cleaning equipment trials, testing and comparison; seminars on branding, marketing, internet, social media, networking and business development techniques.
Again this year we plan to attend several other carpet cleaning technical conferences, courses, lectures, workshops and seminars, as well as teach at dozens of hands on training sessions.
From the outside it may appear that we attend these technical conferences only to speak and teach. But we are also attending to learn. We constantly strive to improve our education, skills and techniques.
Technical Conferences offer us the highest potential to learn the advanced skills in our field of expertise and expand our abilities in other areas.
Attending technical conferences is a professionally rewarding experience, presenting a unique opportunity due to the vast melting pot of expertise and experience. Put hundreds like-minded people in a room and you’re bound to get something good out of it. Conversation is the inspiration for innovation. When we attend a conference, the opportunity to contribute to the carpet cleaning industry is huge. We love to give back to the industry that has given us so many opportunities.
We go to all these conferences to teach, learn, and play. But mostly, we go to benefit you by being the World’s Greatest Carpet Cleaner!

Attending Carpet Cleaning Events – Advanced Training
Posted by: | CommentsEcoClean Carpet Care continues to invest heavily in education and professional development. IICRC Certification and training is expensive and most local carpet cleaning companies cut corners when it comes to training their employees in the best and most effective cleaning methods. Earning a certification not only proves you have the right skills, but also the dedication and commitment to your clients to continue learning.
In September we are attending yet another IICRC carpet cleaning certification course (CMT – commercial carpet cleaning and maintenance). Also scheduled, a tour of Bridgepoint (large manufacturer of carpet cleaning equipment and supplies), a tour of Aerotech (manufacturer of industrial carpet cleaning machines) and the SpotMaster Championship – the annual spot and stain removal competition for professional carpet cleaners.
We are then headed to an Advanced Commercial Floor Cleaning and Maintenance training program. Advanced training on commercial carpet cleaning, low moisture carpet cleaning, stone cleaning & polishing, and wood floor cleaning & recoating.
Then we will be attending the annual Carpet Cleaners Conference and Trade Show as well as a LMCCA (Low Moisture Carpet Cleaners Association) Board of Directors meeting.
EcoClean will be closed for a few weeks and referring any incoming regular carpet cleaning to other cleaners in our local carpet cleaners network and/or scheduling any work that requires a “Master” (us) for October.

Although this is not the first Pet Odor Decontamination, Deodorization and Stain Removal course we’ve attended, we always learn something new at each and every one. Each instructor (and classmates) have something new and interesting to add.
Always striving to be the best trained and most dedicated carpet cleaners in the industry and especially for you, our valued customers in Mentor, Painesville, and all of Northeast Ohio.
Carpet Cleaners Technical Conference 2010
Posted by: | CommentsWe just returned from attending the annual Technical Conference for carpet cleaners in Florida. This was a very educational event again with detailed information about recent changes and updates in the carpet cleaning industry. The newest equipment and techniques were on display.
This conference is specifically designed for carpet cleaners seeking new research and useful tools to help distance their company from the competition.
We also attended the LMCCA Board of Directors semi annual meeting. A lot of the discussions revolved around the momentum gathering with “green” related issues and “health” related issues. Both of which are greatly enhanced by low moisture carpet cleaning systems. Now that it appears the world is beginning to recognize the potential “green” and “healthy” benefits of low moisture cleaning, it is thrilling to know that the LMCCA is leading the pack.
The LMCCA has grown to become the world’s largest international trade association for carpet cleaners, with more than 1,300 member locations.
It is incredibly exciting to be a part of an organization that is progressively growing by effectively working towards a meaningful mission. That mission is “to increase awareness and knowledge of low moisture carpet cleaning systems to gain world-wide acceptance of the viability of low-moisture carpet cleaning systems used by professional carpet cleaning technicians in order to provide the best possible carpet cleaning system as dictated by the carpet itself and the unique environment in which it is in service”.
It is both thrilling and inspiring to be part of this association.
Mark Cermak serves as LMCCA VP, chair of the E-Media Committee, Executive Committee and Andrechelle Cermak on the Board of Directors.
