How are you vacuuming staircases

[Kevin De Medeiros]

I have the new version of that..
Works great but the filter cloggs up quick

Good to know. I've only had it for a couple weeks so I'll check it tomorrow. I do like having it on board . It worked great on a sectional I did last week that was covered in dog hair. And it was quick. For the money was a no brainer. Also picked up this Samsung at bestbuy on clearance. This thing is super well built and works great on residential carpet and for edging. Also do stairs at times with it. The roller head comes off and can use it as a canister vacuum.

Tell the customer to do it before you arrive, Problem solved

You should have your patches revoked.

I am not a maid or a janitor, if I have to vacuum, they are paying me to do it.

you should be charging enough to do the job properly.

letting the homeowner do such a crucial part of the whole process is criminal

Vacuuming was meant for porty only guys.

Just bought my second Hoover PortaPower....delivered yesterday.
Keeping the old one... a year old... in the house because it gets used on my own tile every other day.
This powerful small vacuum gets used on every job...tile, edging carpet, upholstery and is perfect for stairs.
Just over a hundred dollars on Amazon.

I use it on every job I do. Nothing better for vacuuming upholstery. Tile floors it is light but powerful. Edging etc. great! I brought one to the last MF and it was used continuously by everyone...especially by Bill Yeadon for upholstery.

that tool is The King of Button "dents"..

 

[ronbeatty]

Most of my customers have better vacuums than most of the guys have on their trucks here.

 

[Mikey P]

Ron, we even pre-vacuum our billionaire clients.

Have you ever seen what it takes to maintain a home that would sell for 400 million?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Damn even Encap guys pre vacuum prior to cleaning.

Who are the real hacks? That line forms to the left

No Mike, we don't have that kind of stupid people around here. This is a working class neighborhood.

LOL
Missed you Larry. Its been great having you back!

 

[steve_64]

I've seen a lot of good house keeping done. None better than what Genny does though.

Of course I see the crap too.

None of them use a 56 blower though. Gennys job I didn't get crap in my filter. The other four jobs each one filled my filter.

The Left? So, communists and socialists don't Prevac?

 

[Nate The Great]

I remember I was about 13yo and I seen a single mother who literally swept her carpet with a broom.. It was in a low end apt that had CGD in it..

I looked at my pops and said, why is she sweeping the carpet....? Man I was soo green back then.. He educated me later on that everyone doesn't own a vacuum...

I have been educating my customers on proper carpet maintenance for 42 years, most do a great job moving breakable items, vacuuming and securing their pets. Customers appreciate us inspecting their vacuum and recommending replacement or service. It is all in how you present your instructions for a successful cleaning. If you have the emotional need to vacuum, vacuum yourself to better health.

 

[Mark Saiger]

We man handle the uprights and crevice tool all the edges before we prespray and then CRB them.

Of course follow up with a Saigerized PMF dual jet swivel head stair tool

 

[ruff]

Who says clients don't vacuum well?

 

[Mikey P]

No Mike, we don't have that kind of stupid people around here. This is a working class neighborhood.

Huh?

Ron, people who own estates on this level are far from stupid


and they certainly don't hire tradesman that take shortcuts.

 

[Jimmy L]

I prefer not to deal with the rich. Less headaches and less stress tip toeing across the rooms and oh my gawd using my polite voice around them!

 

[Mikey P]

I'll speak in pig Latin with a gay lisp for $4500 job averages..

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Give Jim my apologies. I didn't mean to bash him

I just saw this. Mikey is just having fun and giving me far too much credit for any position I might take on the matter.

I just happen to like the tool because its lightweight and fits in the already overcrowded trucks most cleaners are forced to work out of with all of the additional services provided today.

Now if you decided to cast aspersions at my love of using distilled water or foaming peroxide, then we'd have something to talk about
