[Mikey P]

dude on FB got it to this

 

[Nomad74]

Should have used Prochem Nano

 

[Willy P]

I'd like to see that after it dries.

 

[DAT]

Extreme strong mix, oxidizer, and dlimonine. Dwell 20 min, RE

 

[Hack Attack]

filthy ferals

 

[Hack Attack]

1/2 full HF with waterbased degreaser, 50% more of whatever high pH prespray you use, 20 min scrub while it dwells then RE

charge more than the carpets worth

 

[FyreLyter]

Gross. Let’s hug

 

[Numero Uno]

Flamethrower...

 

[Desk Jockey]

Replacement

 

[steve_64]

Replacement

Let some Facebook guru have it.

That’s extreme but not too far beyond what I deal with on a semi-regular basis.
1)Prevacuum thoroughly. (My vacuum would be cleaned and sanitized after.)
2) I would cover all the soiling possibilities with a prespray of Bio-8, D-Gas and PSor.
3) Rotovac my way into the room with a brush head.
4) Edge the room with a stand up filtration tool.
5) Wand my way out

Side note:
As I’m vacuuming, if I note any stains that I think may need dye stain remover and steam, I’ll do those before prespraying the carpet.

Jobs like this OFTEN require follow up cleaning and ALWAYS REQUIRE clarification of what can be expected.

Average cleaners will fail at these jobs because they won’t purchase the necessary equipment, don’t have the proper chems and are hesitant to price high enough to cover all the time necessary.

I can almost always clean these type jobs well enough to allow another rental season of use and save the home owner about half of the replacement costs.

I seldom encounter these jobs on owner-occupied houses.

Man, you're on point early in the morning!

I’m sleeping better
In a better mood
And willing to share with you regular morons and all the lurkers.

advise them it needs replaced.
Advise them there will be an additional salvage restoration fee.
Advise them there will be no urine restoration.
I'll throw some smelly good stuff on is all

if they say proceed;

vac

Mix PowerBurst at 3 heaping scoops per gal, toss in 4oz per gal of UltraPac 711 for good measure .
Hose it down at a gal per 100-150sf
dwell while the scrubber and hoses get set up

roto scrub w/stripped bonnet
(red VCT pad might make that rag come apart)
Saturated bonnet is safe

wand makes a dry stroke first to suck up the first bit of pre-spray sludge.
Then flush/rinse extract with incredibly slow (to most) back stroke .
followed by slow forward and back dry pass

move over half wand width.
repeat

Done a million of 'em

Larry
I’ve always liked you
I even defended you on a few occasions
But there’s a reason you’re not cleaning anymore

 

[Mikey P]

so where do you find them?



military?


Ive only seen shit like that a handful of times., even with Millers and Coit

 

[Mikey P]

my 370's waste tank is right behind my melon so for that reason, I'd pad that mofo.

 

[Dolly Llama]

But there’s a reason you’re not cleaning anymore

yeah, cause CCing sucks.
and it's easier to find workers for rehab work

They don't need all their teef to hang drywall.

[steve_64]

I've cleaned section 8 jobs for 15 years.

I've cleaned a few of these.

Vacuum well soak with a good high ph cleaner scrub with crb and extract.

And I do mean soak it. That one room would get half a hydroforce 4 to 1 about 3 inches away from carpet.

I do work for property management companies and individual rental owners. Quite a bit of it. Anyone who does rental cleaning runs into this.

 

[Dolly Llama]

and I still clean carpets
and can still clean better than the vast majority

and better than 67.893% with a POS porty and AW29 wand

..L.T.A.

 

[hogjowl]

You are an example of why it’s hard for newbys to learn here.
Wading through all the BS is confusing.

YOU have been around MIKEY far too long!

 

[Dolly Llama]

It's not BS when you can back it up

never used a RE except the RX-20.
The RE scrub in and wand out would be killer I'd expect.
I've always run 2 man crew, rotary scrubber is more efficient
(never had AT capacity to run two floor tools)

Please re-read my above post a SECOND TIME!

 

[Nomad74]

A majority part of being a better cleaner is not being lazy. That's all it takes. I can't tell you how many jobs I go to where people hired me to fix issues from a previous cleaning. The tech was too lazy to use an acid rinse and left the carpet brown and/or crunchy. Or they were too lazy to CRB, use a quality prespray, or even prespray at all. Too lazy to vacuum, too lazy to wipe up the drips, to lazy to put up a seal-a-door, too lazy to sweep up the dry slurry he spilled all over the driveway because he was too lazy to prespray anyway. Odor issues because the tech was too lazy to really investigate and find the source.

I've see all of these factors and just scratch my head. This is why I don't worry about competition. Hourly employees are just lazy and will eventually attempt to do the least amount of work possible when no one is looking. You can tell by the cat hair left in the door jambs.

Do you pull the cord out of the wall, or do you walk over to the outlet and unplug the cord? All these little lazy elements add up and show in your cleaning.

 

[hogjowl]

I was initially impressed with one of my new local cleaners (who lurks here) until I got wind of his/her pricing and noticed the word “affordable “ on their van.
It’s hard not to be lazy when you’re not making any money being energetic.

 

[KevinD]

Some jobs are best started with a pair of gloves and a razor knife.

 

[Dolly Llama]

BTW
do you guys charge more for those compared "normal" soil loads?
