Looking for some really good (and FUN) rug education?
Rug workshop "shop talk."
Not another infomercial to sell juice and big equipment, but an event where you walk away with know-how to take action on right away to avoid rug disasters, save rugs when they go “bad” on you, and tips to make you an even better rug cleaner so you have even more HAPPY rug clients?
Well then… I’ve got an event for you! And even better – it’s CHEAP! =)
(Thanks to our host.)
Wednesday October 12th in McKeesport, PA at the Pembertons, I’m bringing a half-day class to town => “Rug Disasters… And How To Avoid Them.”
Here’s what I’m going to share with the cleaners who come to town to spend this afternoon with me:
=> Discover the top costly mistakes both rookies and long-timers are making with today’s rugs.
=> Get introduced to the dreaded “Rugs To Run From” – the rugs that are the top ones that canNOT be safely cleaned, and end up creating a nightmare to the cleaners who give it a try.
RUN Forrest RUN!!! =)
=> Get a “top 10 tips” list on how to tackle some of the bigger problems with rugs, so that you can be a rug cleaning HERO.
=> Discover tips for getting into this business successfully, because this business is NOT for everyone, and it’s NOT as easy as some of the louder voices in this industry purport it to be. I’ll give you the straight scoop so you know if it’s the path for you.
Plus…
…if you are a regular reader of the Rug Chick blog, you know I don’t pull any punches on my opinions. I call them like I see them, and ruffle a few feathers in the process.
What can I say? I like the unvarnished TRUTH.
And I like to share things in plain English because I feel some in this industry over-complicate this craft, usually because most of them don’t know what the heck they are talking about because none have ever actually run a rug cleaning business. (Seriously.)
With so many different voices, it gets confusing, and most who want to learn the truth about building the best rug cleaning business end up feeling LOST…
Hello? Anybody out there? I'm lost!
So for those who make the trip to join me for this event on October 12th, I will be giving you access to my latest report “The Real Dirt On Rug Cleaning.”
It lays out the different choices of rug cleaning products, education, and systems, and my opinion on all of it. Things I feel are over-priced, people I feel are full of crap, and most importantly ways to get the different phases of rug cleaning done RIGHT whether you have a lot of money and room… or you don’t.
“Lisa, How Much To Attend?”
I said it would be cheap, and it is. It’s only $97 to attend.
Why so little? One reason => The Pembertons.
(I guess that’s TWO reasons, Lee and Jim.) =)
They are already flying me out because we are rolling out the first big Textile Pro Program intensive workshop at their facility on Oct. 13-14 with our first 20 hand-picked companies who we are working with over six months with on-line, in-person, and consulting training to make them the best rug and fine fabric cleaning specialists in their region.
Our industry is desperate for real-world textile specialist training, so we are developing the upcoming generation of go-to rug and fabric cleaners one small exclusive group at a time.
So, I will be in PA to work with our 1st Textile Pro Team. And we thought it would be a great idea to put on a valuable rug basics class for any of the Pembertons clients who want to come gain nuggets of know-how on rugs.
And since Pembertons is not the quickest place to get to (it’s sure beautiful though!) – I wanted to make sure that anyone who comes to this half-day event gets at least 10 times their investment in return. And that is my guarantee to you. You come, I will make it worth the trip.
However, if you want to attend, there are only 35 spots, so jump on the phone and give Pembertons a call to register at 800-342-2297.
Happy Rug Cleaning!

P.S. If Pennsylvania is just too far away for you, I will be putting on this same half-day program at Excel Supply in Fort Myers, Florida on November 9th. Same format, same price, but warmer weather. =)
We LOVE Rugs!
Hey Lisa, what you are doing is great. All I need is for you to come back over to the UK and put on one of your fantastic courses
There are plenty of people over here that love rugs and you! It would be great to meet up with you again must be at least 10 years! BTW i once bought a blue back ikea special of a customer who’s dog (child) had urinated on it!! A lesson learnt never done again! Can we do your Pro course on-line only? If chosen?
Any class in San Diego or Los Angeles?
Sorry – right now we are focusing on the east coast for 2012. I may do a half day event with the CFI in California though.

James – we are looking at teaching in the UK and also Australia, but realistically, with as many rugs and supplies we need to ship, it’s something we would need to sell-out in advance to make the numbers work. Unlike IICRC, we are NOT a non-profit.
We will be choosing companies to do the on-line training ala carte, especially our international companies because we know it’s tough to fly to the US for training. To be on my list, just opt in for the Rug Disasters report, and that gets you on my list. Hope to work with you soon! – Lisa
