I am not a room or area price cleaner. Most cleaners charged by the square foot when I started steam cleaning in 1970. If the stair is three feet wide, our charge is $4.00 per step. So 12 to 16 steps range from $48 to $64.
I think it is time for a new stair tool.
Is that 30 inches??
I am $40 per room for the first 6 rooms. $30 each additional. Stairs are $45 - includes 13-15 steps.
I started out back in 1994 at $25 for a set of stairs.
$65
Stairs Suk!!
What do you guys use to vacuum the stairs prior to pre-spray? How about agitation?

Standing leaned up against the tool kit and at the angle you would be able to clean at, it is about 23 inches from the floor.
Laying on the floor, it is about 34 inches long. It is a 1.5 inch diameter tube. We just throw a whip on it. The only hose we reduce down. Tried reducers on the end of the 2 inch, but just like the whip better. Doesn't work us and beat us up....
Thanks mark.
Most longer stair tools seem to be around 30 inches, which would be a big improvement over my 18 incher.........

The extra length should be enough to keep me upright and save my back somewhat.
Regarding either straight of S-bend, I am assuming the S-bend will have an advantage ergonomically on the bullnose, and will offer more clearance to reach the lower part on the bullnose curve, and flush it more efficiently.
So what's the vote on straight or s-bend???
I think I still have a couple laying around in the bone yard, they are missing the valve though. I liked them for the period but I was never thrill with the air leaking from the edges. When Prochem came out with their stair tool we switched all of them out.
