My big motel job..

[Mikey P]

15 rooms @ $1310...



Good thing I brought help as this anal retentive OO method would have had me there until 10 pm tonight..


Packed a Kirby bag, trimmed up a pound of loose Berber yarns, red pad slow rinse, fan dry..

 

[Mark Saiger]

Awesome!

And I am really jealous of that weather right now!

 

[hogjowl]

You’re my hero

 

[Bob Pruitt]

I want to eat dinner there...love these old places. Good job getting paid for this kind of work.

 

[dealtimeman]

Good haul for a hotel job.

 

[Dan Lofsten]

Looks like you gave them a good job.

Is that a 1.5" or 2" Devastator wand?

 

[SamIam]

Looks like you gave them a good job.

Is that a 1.5" or 2" Devastator wand?

That looks like the 2 inch

 

[Cleanworks]

I'm betting 1.5. if I'm right, do I win it?

 

[Mikey P]

2".

 

[hogjowl]

If there was a 1.5 Devastator
He’d have it

 

[Mikey P]

It's coming...

Come see it in Vegas.

 

[hogjowl]

If I wanted a 1.5, it would only be a tile wand

 

[Mikey P]

That's because you don't know what I know.

 

[Cleanworks]

2".

Oh well.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Who cares what wand he was using! I'm more concerned about how he used a red pad and a kirby. I was thinking he'd bring out the big bad Orek and a crb! He bad mouthed those "heavy" vacuums and the wtf method of using a red pad.

But truth will have it...I'm just jealous that Mikey made $87/room at a damn motel. Asshole

 

[Dan Lofsten]

It's coming...

Come see it in Vegas.

I seen the prototype in Scottsdale.

Thought you were testing it out .

 

[Mikey P]

Waiting on the 12" head


Matt's confused, a red pad/175 is very best way to remove oily soil from Berber.


and the Kirby is a much better edger than the Oreck.



I've never said other wise.

 

[ruff]

Mike,
Just curious- Why scrub with the red pad instead of a CRB?

 

[Mikey P]

because a 100 pound machine and a red fiber pad works much better on flat weave Berber covered in black top slurry, even an idiot like Marty knows that.

 

[ruff]

Well, in that case the Alabama wonder ain't what you claim.

I never used a red pad or any other of the scrubbing pads. Mostly residential. Would it be faster or slower than a CRB?

 

[steve_64]

I've seen red pads do a better job than just wanding but I hate loading and unloading the 175. And it just seems to skim over the surface. I'm more impressed with the 15 in crb but need brown brushes I think to really knock it out.

 

[ruff]

I used my 17" crb with blue brushes (for residential synthetic) on a job that was as dirty as Mike's hotel and it did great. But it wasn't a flat weave looped carpet. I'd be interested in seeing if there's a difference in time and cleaning results.

 

[DAT]

Yup...175 rocks the berber...you need the weight.. brown brush works well loosen up dry soil prior to vacuuming but 175 wins this round or OP like Tim has

 

[Mikey P]

The level of soiling is not visible in the photos.


I am not speculating.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Well, nice haul but my dentist does way better. $1013 for 1.5 hours in his chair yesterday.

 

[DAT]

Yeah....dentist can make 30k/day...

 

[BIG WOOD]

because a 100 pound machine and a red fiber pad works much better on flat weave Berber covered in black top slurry, even an idiot like Marty knows that.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just reminding you of what you told me in the past, and I’m in the mood to harass you with your orek toy

 

[Mikey P]

You either don't listen very well, have poor reading comprehension or are from Georgia.


Love my Oreck.

 

[dealtimeman]

Good because I just got one.

 

[hogjowl]

I won one on ICS in the 90’s
It was ok.
No edging attachment
Which is just stupid
