How do you price these? They look easy to do. I have no clue what my production rate should be because I have never done them. wondering if I price by the foot or guess how many I can do in a hour.

Thanks You

Do a test clean if -at all- possible.

And then come up with what you think is a good price.

I've done it many times.... After screwing up in one church where the pews were probably never vacuumed and we ended up with horrible upholstery tool line wicking. Had to redo the whole thing.

I agree with Zee, do a test clean.
How dirty are they?
Do you need the work?
I would price them $1 to $1.50 per foot.
I used my stair tool to clean, it went very fast with a helper.

$1 - $1.50 per linear foot for bottom and if backs, add the same price per linear foot and usually lean towards the $1.50

Glided stair too, psi turned down to about 300 psi

Son in law follows up with small tool to detail and remove wax spots.

We make REALLY good time with this system!

Where are you getting the swivel stair tool with glide from and how much? Looks great for pews and hoping it takes the pain out of stairs.

Get ahold of John Olson here from Superior Cleaning Solutions and just tell him you want the version he made for me.....PMF swivel head, Hybrid Greenglide, 80015 dual jets ....

Your back will thank you and steps....well, it makes cleaning steps fun again :)

I really didn't ask. Now that I think about it ...

I DONT CARE.

But I bet it is, and it'll probably come here exactly like the tool Olsin "built".

They come as a stock single jet, but can be made into dual jet visiting the hardware store...or really, just have TCS get ahold of me, or show them the pics....easy...peasy....

I bet the extra jet on a tool that small makes about as much difference as a front hole glide on a Zipper.

Here's some wax I removed this past week. Brown paper and Steam iron. Works great! Even better if you plug the iron into electric!

This has ended up being our best friend over all the other spot removers we had on the church pews we have done...

Spray....agitate a LITTLE bit...extract.

Yeah but the Spanish on the label says "do not use on or near church pews" :clap:

You DO know you need to change the jet every 40,000 hours or so, right?

Did it from brand new. It came with a brass one but still.

It makes sense if you think about the geometry of it. Spray is so much more intense in the center.

Hey Mark, could you give me a parts list to go dual jet?

With one wide single jet the spray is not very even.

Do you think it would work well with your jet set up but no glide?

Here you guys go....

Jets are 80015 by the way....was missing a number when saying them in the video
