I want to find the worst wand used on a daily basis by the entrant. Don't go dig up some POS Castex from the garage that you haven't used in years, I want to see pics of wands used as your main weapon everyday. Please post your pics with both YOU and the wand in the pic together here, and on Halloween I will pick the scariest, ugliest, biggest POC and we'll replace it with your choice of a 12" or 14" Greenhorn wand.

This contest is for the guys who are making do with less than ideal equipment, not those who already have a fine arsenal of tools and equipment.

May the cleaner who most needs it win!

Happy Halloween.

Good luck and take care,
Lisa

Take a picture in a customer's home with he or here standing next to you and I'll toss in a fresh new MB T Shirt.


A close up picture of the wand's jets would get you points as well.

Now everyone thank Lisa for doing this.

Greenie is gonna bitch about it all weekend.

So wish I could win this. I definately need to get another Greenhorn. We were running both Butlers last night on a commercial job and my 14 year old daughter & wife kept stealing the Greenhorn and leaving me with our modified 11 inch Prochem. Little Stinker! (Was a great family moment of fun though)

Who ever wins, you will be very pleased! I will probably be ordering another Greenhorn soon. Even my wife agrees. (I'm a lucky man!)

Bawb UTUBE..........how hilareous is that.............

I don't have a scary horrible wand, so I don't qualify, but I sure do enjoy the performance of my Bently.

Greenie.........Sorry, I did not know you had a wand like that.

It sure will be fun to see the photo's and creativity of the guy's that have such a sense
of humor.

Maybe not the worst wand, but the barrel with a filter clogged with bits of burnt french frys and chicken bits from my WVO pre-filter will sure add to the effect!

I know my wand is not the scariest looking wand , but she's an old one. 10 years old. I'm not sure what brand name the wand is but me and old girl have cleaned a lot of carpets together. The pictures were taken right after I got back from 4 jobs today, so I did not have a chance to clean the wand before taking the pictures. It still shines except for the dark areas around the jets. No matter what I do I can't get that clean.

Can I take pictures of my worst customer's wands and post them? I have a dozen cleaners with Chia Pets growing on their wands.

Good karma Lisa! Nice prize.

Just took delivery of the latest and greatest 14" Greenhorn. It rocks! Monte took my 1year old "gently used" Greenhorn in on trade. How's about them apples!

This angle-jet 14" wand was used the same day this picture was taken.

And, is back in use today with a minor repair. :roll:

Now, I just have to find that customer with the "Steamex" wand....

John,

Sure! You can enter on behalf of your customer, as long as you will vouch for the fact the wand is used daily.

Larry,

So far, I'd have to say that one is pretty scary! Did they run it over or what?

Take care,
Lisa

She kept thinking i was talking about photos of her carpet...for "ugliest carpet" I kept telling her, "no its my wand right here, and you get a new one if you win..."

it was pretty dirty though...a 9 yr old carpet never cleaned, and was a creme color....

which leads me to the question....

why do these creme, light beige type color carpets, get the yellow staining really easy???

This one was my daily user till this happened to it....still have it and can get a picture of the whole thing now although striped. If I could get it repaired I would......Larry???? I've striped it to build a new greenhorn from a new wand tube from greenie.
