Over the years, the carpet industry has lost a lot of market share to hard surfaces such as Stone and Tile. Are you offering cleaning and maintenance programs for these surfaces? You can charge up to $3 per square foot to clean, seal, and polish Stone, Tile and Grout. There are few industries that have seen the incredible growth that tile and stone maintenance has seen in the last few years. Are you leaving this money behind every time you walk across the stone or tile floor to get to the carpet you came to clean? Your customers invested a lot of money in these floors. Learn how to help them maintain their investment.

Guest speaker Dan Humbert, a third generation Stone and Tile man, has been running a successful Tile and Stone Contracting Restoration business for over 28 years. Throughout his career he has earned the respect of others through his knowledge and willingness to share secrets of the trade. He works with CTI Pro’s Choice as an instructor and helps in the development of new products. Dan will give a Powerpoint presentation on: “Introduction to Man Made Tile, Stone and Grout”
You will learn:
• What Man Made Tile is made of
• What are the different kinds of Stones?
• What Grout is made of

We need several CFI Members to team up with SHAW CARPETS at the RHA Expo at the Cal Expo in Sacramento.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
SHAW CARPETS will provide the prime booth space at the event. We will be demonstrating the resiliency and cleanability of their new Solution Dyed Nylon Carpet. During the demonstration CFI members will have various participants apply all sorts of condiments to the carpet and everything from Kool-Aid to bleach and more. The benefit of the Solution Dyed Nylon is that the color is in the yarn, not on it. The color will not fade or stain from the application of these staining agents.

We also need CFI members to provide a portable hot water extraction machine and inform the public of the importance of using a CFI member for their floor care needs.

As an added bonus you will be able to promote your business to all the property owners attending this all day event.

No charge to attend but you must be a current CFI Member
