I'd like to actually see the logistics of setting up two complete hose runs and yet smoothly clean out of one van with only 2 people.
Even in commercial settings it sounds like a 2 ring circus.
OK, I can do that.
Lee, I have been perfecting this system for 30 years, and can not think of anything else I could do to make the jobs go any better than they do.
Believe it or not, once you get the hang of dual wands, it is a cinch to set up and tear down. I carry 280 feet of vac hose on one reel - one set is red. and the other set is blue so we won't get mixed up inside. We also have 4 other lengths of 2" vac hose so we can add just what we need at the van on some jobs without having to get out a 50 footer when you only need 25'.
One steam line is Parker gold, and the other is blue, both fabric braided. Heat is 280,000 BTU PW LP heater converted for carpet cleaning, with auto light and AFB circuitry to act as an auto flow switch. It is even activated when using a Kleenrite upholstery tool.
We use corner guards!
After our walk-through with the customer, we decide who is going to clean what.
We split the job up so we usually don't see each other the entire job. We even do carpet, upholstery, and tile when dual wanding.
With an extremely reliable APO, we NEVER have to stop any job to empty the recovery tank. Yes, there is only one recovery tank.
The LP heater NEVER lags for heat, nor does it run when more heat isn't called for. We have a temperature dial so we can set it for the temp we want to achieve, sometimes using over 245 degrees for tile and grout. It NEVER lags in heat production!
No, Lee, it's never a circus, but cleaning dual wands out of the Astro van is like operating out of a clown car!!!
