The real carpet cleaning Kings

[CJ-FL]

I'm intrigued by that Sanitaire, can you pull up a picture of the brush roll?

Wow. How did you manage that...

The royal has this little black “button/nipple” that sucks in/down when you adjust the vacuum to the correct height. My guys said they were having problems adjusting it. I took it in our old shop, adjusted it really high, turned it on and began lowering it till the button sucked it.... IT NEVER DID.... I smelt burning and shut it off to find a burnt beater bar shape in the carpet. Evidently the little spring loaded button was clogged with dust, etc...

I cleaned the button since but still doesn’t suck in. Hell of a vacuum and super powerful but to much adjustment needed too be used residentially.

Stanley is not a person and is incapable of any such admission. I, @CJ-FL, is expressing my belief that the use of a vacuum cleaner disturbs the indoor air quality, which I’m sure you and most others can attest to. If you use them they smell like ass. That’s because even HEPA filtration can do only do much to contain dog ass day in and day out.

Best post all day. I just snorkled my evening coffee.

Works beautiful. Better than carpet pro..

Ironically the thing I hate most about the Oreck is how loud they are...

Interesting, looks like the same fan chamber of their 88 series...


How are those round belts holding up?

Most houses have like 311 power outlets..and you're fussing about a short cord...

Only swapped 1 so far... super easy to do, no tools needed. Gave each crew a spare and showed them how.

Dust so fine, it blows up your bag...good thing they aren't to worried about air quality. The do wear air sampling device to make sure that theres no trace cyanide in the air..

I threw away the exhaust hepa filter on my shark. I dont feel bad.

I dont run hepa for either marketing or customers benefit, its purely for me me me

do they have there limitations? Of course they do

but how many veterans have shot lungs? Its not just the prespray you're breathing everyday

 

[JohnHawkP]

I recommend you don't vacuum wearing headphones and listening to music.

I did this last week and after vacuuming the whole house discovered I didn't plug the cord in.

Pretty much..... dirty houses get vacuumed. Clean,well maintained houses don’t. As I look through trucks each morning I sbserve vacuums that don’t appear to be used frequently enough (I date the bags with a sharpie) and harass guys not using them... if they can’t be coached up, they’re coached out... I cannot verify every job but if they vacuum bag is only being changed once a week, it’s not being used. It’s not full proof but it’s Kaizen... (we’re better today than we were yesterday)

I'm glad you mentioned this because your first statement made you look like your crew didn't do any vacuuming. I do the same thing with well maintained carpet, not for the air quality, but for the time saved on the job. Job efficiency is more important than the stupid air quality in the house. Keep in mind the air duct system is probably trashed from never being cleaned in over 30years. I'm not sure if your crew cleans air ducts also...but if they don't, you're not helping the air quality just by skipping vacuuming. You're just saving money, which is very smart.

And next time you get your panties in a wad by being called Stanley, don't pitch a fit. Just throw one back at us. THat's what these assholes did to me when I first got on here.

@CJ-FL Thanks for your posts. I am always interested in how franchises operate. I found out recently that the horses on my neighbors property belong to a guy that was in marketing for stanley steemer corporate.

It's not for techs who just go through the motions and suck up hair pins, nails, coins etc.

"dainty" vacs are no place for a CC'ing crew that work in the "real world"

Real world meaning shit holes in Ohio.

I'm sorry Mr Bear was never able to charm his way into homes that didnt leave hypodermic needles and used condoms on the floor...

An oreck will fill that bag faster than most other vacs. Its small though so not great for production but nice for stairs.

Our shark canisters don't stink because we wash the filters as well as the tanks regularly. We have about 5 or 6 different ones that are holding up well so far.

The bissels are disposable and don't get used much anymore.

Looking for a 14 inch or bigger for commercial jobs. Was going to ask jimmy what it was he had. I'm seeing the genius in his posts.

 

[Old Coastie]

Much is made of raising dust by vacuuming, but as a practical matter, what is to be done? HEPA bags capture whatever is sucked, but every beater bar raises a cloud of uncaptured particulate.
The dust downer system should help if no beater bar is involved, but suction alone is always limited. At least everything is evacuated to outside the home.

Perhaps a turbine driven beater bar with a surrounding shroud similar to a Zipper, to contain particulate, with the suction to the outside.

It might be just as effective to strap your hose to an upright to create a capture zone.
Or set up an evacuation fan to ventilate dusty air and an supply air filter in the window to prevent drawing allergens in.

End of the day, most of this is rubbish. The Piffletons have been living with their crud for three years and we aren’t doing anything but ameliorating their situation.

I wish that Sanitaire wasn't just a new look on the old design.

true that
IF you're using their vac

Jimmy has mentioned it many times ...and I agree
it's not what's in their house, it's what we can potentially bring in

we can't all "be like Mike" that never sees homes with pets 'n parvo virus unawares

Unless you're just a complete citified moron, this is the vacuum you should have.
Not too loud, plenty of sick and great for edges too. Just expensive but worth it.

$700+. Screw that. I’ll stick with my Best Buy Shark covered under Warranty.

It's alright, I already had you down for moron.

It's worth it. Besides you pay way more as the old vacuums pile up in the boneyard.
