I did a church this weekend my biggest job yet, 2 empty rooms. 3,500 feet. 3 1/2 hrs from pull in to pull out of driveway. Is that good time or am I still slacking? I had my brother there to help on this one. I would have loved to had a zipper.
Several coffee and soda stains but with pain Ole powermax and a brush pro spotter wasn't needed once. How much pry spray would you use on something that size? I get the feeling I use to much but I have this paranoia of running the brushpro on too dry of carpet and tearing it up.

Since I've never been trained to clean carpet at all I get curious if I'm doing it right lol

Both rooms were 3,500sf each or combined? That's pretty good time for wanding..... A Zipper would have been faster....:lol:

The industry normal is 1,000-1,500sf an hour, but good luck swinging a wand that fast for 8 hours straight...

@Desk Jockey would have Cimex it with 2 machines and been done it 1 hour of getting there...Ishityounot

Oh just 3,500 total. Coming from a fuel fired tm my brother was impressed that the cobb unit had no problem keeping it over 230 wanding as fast as possible.
I coulda done it in close to the same time without hin but this I way I didn't sweat a drop lol normally people are offering me water and ask if I'm okay from pouring sweat

AJ,

You did good.

Even if it took five hours, what's important is that they call back.

If I had to guess on pre spray use, maybe a full hydroforce.

The time it took doesn't matter at all. Dollars per hour, baby. Dollars per hour.

Thats a joke right? 1 hydroforce? I have one but I've never used it. I use pump up sprayers because it just seems more easy.

Gawwwd will you fookers just stay out of this.

AJ I'd cleaned that blindfolded and one arm tied behind my back faster than that!

Shut up Jerry!

:winky:
Do you have a problem with repeating yourself? Do we need to stage an intervention on this issue?! We heard you the first time! :p

Nothing is easier than a hydro force! Really... You should try the one you have, dilution ratios should be on your chems.

He needs to be careful with the temp he's putting through the HF or it would draw.. I've had problems with the fkn thing not drawing too.. I think the solution I used was too hot when I mixed and poured it in... It wouldn't draw for nothing.. Good thing I had my battery sprayer...

Sure, ruin my fun.

I thought either a nap or he spent too long praying. :pig:

My pops used to ask me if I was checking my eyelids for holes when I was supposed be doing my school work....:shifty:

Homework, never took a book home in HS, thought I was too smart for that. Of course I was ill prepared for college. :errf:
I knew I was going In the army for a long time.

But I never took books home. Since grade school I got the work done at school while the teacher explained it. Highschool I just didnt care lol.
