Big rooms

[Meter Maid]

Since I’m becoming a carpet cleaning rockstar in my town, I’m starting to get jobs with big ass rooms. Most of my customers have dogs that piss on the carpet, so VLM often isn’t an option.

Anybody use a zipper on open residential?

 

[Mikey P]

get a 14" SSTI
A zipper isn't twice as fast unless you have a helper and you don't do dry strokes, which is sorta possible with a Big Truck.

Just seems like using my legs to push the thing forward and back all day might be easier, not exactly thinking of speed.

When you can walk 12-16ft with it in a room...then you have an advantage and save your hip and shoulder. Anything smaller needs a wand

I never fell in love with the zipper motion..

Same here, but there is a need for the drag wand concept for the giant rooms

I did a gigantic, open basement yesterday. I’m in pretty good shape, but it felt like it was never going to end.

What I don't like about the Zipper is that "Shark tool" Triangles are unavoid about with it on most carpets.
I'll have a 14 inch Zipper for Sale in June. I'll be using it on a Stadium of astro-tuff at the end of May.

How many sf?

 

[Meter Maid]

About 4000, and one big L-shaped area. I guess there used to be a pool down there back in the day.

I would’ve padded it, but their dog goes down there to piss and shit.

He should. If the carpet isn’t loaded with filth and no bodily fluids, I’ll pad that shit all day long.

I like my Zipper on commercial, but never liked it on residential much.
But not for the same reasons Mikey doesn’t like it. Erik and I get along fine.

I've had two or three zippers and never liked any of them at any point in time

Maybe I’ll just tape some handlebars to my sapphire 12 inch and finagle some contraption to make it spray.

I've tried it, but mostly love my zipper on large commercial projects, I love a swivel wand in the home.


I carry usually a 14 inch devastor with a slot and holed glide, or a SS14.

Slot glide.



Ps my devastor jet bar fell off recently so I'm using my 12 inch until I fix it.


It nice having a dozen wands laying around unless your my wife.

I might sell mine in June after I do the astroturf stadium job. I have both 15 inch and super spinner heads

Thank you John, but I’ve already found a used one.

I do love my zipper for commercial too, but if that’s needed, it’s Cimex time! I’m doing a house on the 9th, God help me

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I do a casino that’s right around 26,000 sqft. We start @ 11 pm, and we HAVE to be finished by 6:55 AM sharp. The cash trolley comes out onto the floor @ 7 AM.
The building goes into lockdown at that time.

I put down my prespray with the Cimex, boosted with a healthy dose of peroxide.

There’s more food and drink stains than I care to mention…

I need a high volume flushing tool….

The zipper fits the bill…

I like my 15" Zipper for large vacant residential.

I know some of you are going to giggle like school girls, but I still say the Hydrahoe is the cats ass on open areas. You can make good time with that long reach, and they are great quality. There's a reason they are now a Butler option, and PMF makes a 6 jet version.

 

[Mikey P]

PMF makes a 6 jet version.

Huh?

6 jets on a 12" head?

 

[Jim Williams]

Huh?

6 jets on a 12" head?

I just tried to check the accuracy of the number of jets and I can't even find a Hoe available at PMF or Hydramaster. I remember drooling over a multijet Hoe that used to be on the Interlink website. I was thinking it was 6 jets.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Have you used any other wands besides a hoe?
