Glided Stair tool....trim up as needed with an upholstery tool....

$1 per linear foot for bottoms....and another $1 per linear foot for the backs....

That has been what we are getting....

And I do have a manifold made for Marty...I am waiting for my new glide to get here to make sure it is set properly (if there have been any changes the Greenglides) So....As soon as that happens....Marty has a new manifold and jets on the way

Its 3:00pm here, I better go do some work before someone catches on that I haven't done anything all day.

I did download some music today if that counts as work???

I thought you said "long handle stair tool"? That's a stubby.....

I agreed the one I like is out on a truck. Bought from John Olsen. No swivel though, its just fixed.

I got the same one you posted a picture of... Was giving to us by my pops friend... Nothing worse than having to do 15 stairs with a 6" tool..... On top of that, it only got 1 jet...... Just like my other uncle's @Ron K carpet wand, 1jetter.....

I would get laughed at around here trying to charge $6000 for cleaning pews.

The trick is to charge more, then donate back a % of it......... At least that's what I heard other guys doing.....

 

[steve_64]

Interesting idea

 

[Scott S.]

ehh, I don't know. might have to try it someday,

How about i charge 12 and give back 6?

I'm going to hell any ways....someone has to keep bawb company!

Don't take your residential mindset into a church, or you'll leave money on the table. A church with 6000 linear ft of pews is not a church that is going to blink at spending $9000 to clean them.

They're not stupid.

 

[bob vawter]

They're not stupid.

yes they are...i had a secretary give me an almost 4K check...then a few days later i got it in the mail.......
i figgered God was repaying me for the fear i had cleaning that skerry ass place
Our Lady of Refuge.......very pervy and skerry!

That may be true. I clean for several smaller ones that are always wanting things cheap.

WWJD?!?

He'd be out in the streets and completely unconcerned with the building

We just bought a saigerized stair tool from John Olsen at superior. The word is that it is worth every penny from my residential mgr. Thank you Mark Saiger and John Olson! If I get the job, I'm leaning towards encapping the backs and using the saiger stair tool for the bottoms. Thank you for your ideas, wisdom and support.

@John Olson doesn't like to be called Olsen...

You will probably find it faster just to do the entire stairs with the tool I bet...

You are set up and going.... no sense to set up something else to take more time....

Just my thoughts

 

[Captain America]

Estimate your time to clean these pews and charge 80-100 per hour.....
That should cover it.
Like I said it took me by myself around 10 hours...shouldn't be over 12-15 hours.....

That seems to be the case around here too. Get in to some of the bigger/mega churches or the Catholic churches and $ isn't an issue. We are set up to clean 3 convents next week. It will be a 2 day job to get through them all. Very good account.

are you dressing the part?

Me, in a habit???....Ha ha. That thing would self destruct as soon as it touched my body.

here bitch!

 

[Nate The Great]

I never did like the straight stair tools.... PITA.... But that does look like a 2" tube....

 

[Desk Jockey]

I like it.

It takes the hard work out of steps. Plus with the dual jets it flushes very well also. Yes, mofo it takes a big hose to use it.

The tech's don't like it as much as I do.
They say it kicks back too much heat and they think its awkward.
THEY are awkward.

i have the prochem one, jets are perfect on it, but it could be about 4-6 inches longer.

We have (6) of them. We used to have a short version but sold it, I don't believe there is a long version. After using the bigger tool I can't go back. It just doesn't flow enough to do any serious flushing and because it is smaller it makes cleaning stairs much harder work.

 

[Scott S.]

mine doesnt look like yours.

You're right they added another jet.

Of course when it grows up it wants to be like the long handled stair tool.
