ARCS Speakers

ARCS - Viscose – Presenter: Kash Sobhe. Whether we like it or not, viscose rugs are here to stay. Most often, the problem is not the viscose but the cleaner's lack of experience, knowledge, finesse, understanding of chemistry and task appropriate cleaning and extraction equipment. Kash Sobhe has perfected methods that will dispel fear, promote confidence and deliver great results when cleaning these rugs.

Wholesale Instead of No Sale – Panel: Jennifer Colaco, Oriental Rug Cleaning Co., Dallas, TX; Meg Walker Aladdin Rug Cleaning, San Antonio, TX; Robert Mann, Mann Rugs, Denver, CO. Overview: Carpet cleaning and restoration businesses are always looking for ways to diversify and add revenue. Rug Cleaning is usually on their radar. There is no need to invest thousands of dollars in equipment, training and space. The easiest and most profitable way to offer rug cleaning is to partner with a well-established, successful and reputable in-plant rug cleaner in your area. Jennifer, Meg and Robert work closely servicing a large base of wholesale customers and share how this program can be a win-win for the carpet/restoration industry and rug cleaning plants.
