Gordon Hanks got the nickname the "Gadget Man" as a result of his brainchild that developed into one of the industries leading suppliers of cleaning and restoration accessories. That brainchild was the industries first in-line injection sprayer, the HydroForce Sprayer. Gordon's willingness to listen to and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit of carpet cleaners all over the world who think they have invented a product that would make other cleaners lives easier has led to the development of some of the industry's most relied upon accessories. You name it, Gordon has seen it, and in many cases played an invaluable role in getting products to marketplace. Some are manufactured by HydroForce, many others are still made by cleaners in their garages late at night. The things that all of these gadgets have in common, whether they cost $2 or $2000; is they should make the cleaning or restoration job easier, safer, and more profit able.

That is Gordon's passion. Identifying ways to help the cleaner and restorer be more efficient, be more productive, and to reduce fatigue. Gordon is always trying to identify products and procedures that will make the cleaners life easier. Some will be big stuff, some will be the simplest trinket. Whatever the case, Gordon's focus on is on improving the cleaners profitability.
