This year decided to skip Carpex in Coventry. Last year proved there was nothing significantly new on the carpet cleaning innovations front, so 2010 looks like even plainer than 2009.

I believe many carpet cleaning manufacturers will not be attending the show as there are not many reasons to why carpet cleaners should spend lots of money on new equipment when business and budgets are tight. Sounds reasonable to me.

Currently my carpet cleaners have all the equipment they need (even more than that) and any extra sums spent on the same carpet cleaning equipment but a bit modified are simply out of the question.

I felt a bit dissappointed. It was smaller than last year’s and the fewer exhibitors did not have much to show. It took me a couple of hours to go through most stands. Last year I lost a whole day. Is it the credit crunch?
