Mark, how much agitation do you do before you Zipper on residential on average?
Do you ever detail out with a wand in the tight nooks and cranny's (closets, toilets, dressers, chairs etc...) 1st and then Zipper?
Have you ever tried going straight up and moving over 50% and straight back across the room? It is two cleaning passes as well but the edge on the first pass gets the center on the second pass. It actually ends up much faster too, because going straight up and back you tend to overlap a bit when you move over.
We agitate a lot of residential with
CRB, but if really trashed, we just go with Rotovac 360 XL if don't feel we can get it as easy with Zipper and Agitation of
CRB....
BUT....
We don't always have to
CRB agitate....we get lucky and have some nice cleaner clients and don't have to agitate...but today, I think we agitated 2 out of the 3 residentials, but then had a fairly easy to clean commercial (except for the hose runs) and no agitation needed.
We are really good with detailing with the 15 inch Zipper even in closets and other tight areas....
for passes...one wet pass forward, come back on the same pass wet (yes it does overlap a bit) then keep doing for a section...then zig zag dry passes but not like a wand for shark tooth look as we groom everything....
We rarely pull the wands off the vans....
