I'll go with 15%, and even than, its mostly the first two steps.
I'm not interested in making tools when I can make unexceptional tools, exceptional...The first two or three in every job. Then the likelihood decreases as you go up. If you’re trying to talk yourself out of making your stair wand functional for cleaning risers you can console yourself in knowing virtually every customer you have is a hack and doesn’t even consider cleaning risers.
Dumb your tool down and make it as unexceptionable as every other tool we have to choose from.
You moron.
Sure there is, it's called Brady.So do it
But there’s no exceptional stair wands on the market currently.
And to expand on what papa said, it’s the only part of carpeting in a house that NEVER gets vacuumed….(yes Marty, edging aswell).All of them
The water from cleaning the step and crest runs down within the carpet and needs to be extracted.
A puddle and browning will eventually appear at the bottom of the stairs if you don't.
Avoid a callback and spend the time to at least extract the riser.

And you ‘Mericans wear your shoes in the house (a practice I will never understand).
So, all the shmeg that you guys track in, it inevitably gets tracked onto mats and carpeted surfaces. And YES, that includes the riser on stairs. (From the toe of the shoes)
We ALWAYS clean the tread, bullnose, AND RISER on stairs….

I pre spray from the top and nothing runs down the front, if it doesn't your world or John's then back off on your pre-spray, don't know what to tell you if you haven't figured that out by now^ Good lord … Mikey only hears what he wants

Then you’re not using a HF or your lying out your ass.I pre spray from the top and nothing runs down the front, if it doesn't your world or John's then back off on your pre-spray, don't know what to tell you if you haven't figured that out by now
Explain to me how you get the riser wet if you spray from the top downThen you’re not using a HF or your lying out your ass.
You’ve obviously never looked at your HF spray with sunlight coming through a window.Explain to me how you get the riser wet if you spray from the top down
meaning you're at the top of the staircase spraying the treads with this fan going horizontal from above
I’ve got 2 sets of Crocs (size 13.5), I’m sure I can cut out the toes for the dudes with giant feet, if that’s any consolation…Note to self, never visit Jeff's house.
This as a daily…. And the little Prochem shorty straight guy when things get tight…What tool do you use to clean the riser?
Curve it right at that handle and it’ll be perfectThis as a daily…. And the little Prochem shorty straight guy when things get tight…

Not at all, as long as you're getting paid for it. I often find I have filtration soiling on stairs and I will use a short edging tool to improve them. Always wipe down the wood edges. I use a Prochem upholstery tool to clean the risers if I find it necessary.I use a hydro force to spray the entire step. Obviously spraying the tread heavier than the riser, unless, there are marks or spots on them. I find many people drag their foot up the risers when they ascend the steps. After agitation, I clean the tread using the Chosen wand. After, I use an enclosed 4" upholstery tool to clean and extract the risers and the bull nose. Then I cuff the edges and wipe with a microfiber towel.. Is that overkill???

Nice that it fits nicely and has good flow. Can use it directly with a 2 inch hose or insert a 1.5 inch inside. Very versatile.
