Nice video! What product were you using?


Do you usually prevac and do you post wipe with a terry towel also?

 

[Scott S.]

encapuclean green ds, chairs were vacuumed by customer, no post wipe, any that were excessively dirty got the spotter machine treatment.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks! They looked pretty good.

My only concern is the manager might see how simple it was and kick me to the curb.

Are you opposed to working behind a screen?

 

[Scott S.]

I explained everything to the customer, she understands that the process is easy but also knows that the products and the equipment I use are state of the art and she cannot just buy everything I have without an investment, she only gets them done once a year so its not cost effective for her, and I had extract a few chairs that were too dirty / stained for encapsulation. there is always the possibility. but most of the time if they wanted to do it themselves they wouldn't have even called. I only charged 2.50 a chair.

 

[Desk Jockey]

That's a very reasonable price. Probably something they would do themselves at that rate.

 

[Scott S.]

at 2.50 a chair and literally 2 min a chair, that's a lot of money, I maintain my min charge if they don't have a large amount, so the smaller amount of chairs cost more, and more are less, but no lower then 2.50. these were quick and easy. I was using a trigger sprayer because my battery flexipro was dead. or I would have used he upholstery jet with it. its even quicker then.

I saw that, my arthritis in my hand hurt seeing you use the trigger sprayer. I like the Multi-sprayer Spray 1 for upholstery. We get them with a gun jet not the lance.

I was wearing black nitrile gloves but I took them off to shoot the video. don't want that stuff on my camera

Doctors office Friday with a bunch of chairs. Usually 80-100. I might give that a try on a couple to see how it looks.

That is cool. It might be overkill, but how would that work with a 7 inch variable speed polisher?

 

[hogjowl]

If you will buy a right angle grinder, you will appear slightly less the hack.

Nice video man! Ecap DS huh? We will need to try this, I would think that the encap ds would need some sort of vacuuming off at the end to remove to keep the fabric from being stiff? It came out amazing and will definitely check this out next time we do this dining hall with those type of chairs.

 

[WillS]

Also, what was your dilution w/water amount on the DS in that spray bottle?

 

[steamron]

I have been doing that for several years on chairs like that, works great.

 

[PrimaDonna]

Nice...we use the small pads and a Makita sander/buffer to do stairs when we encap carpets in a place that has stairs. I could see using the Makita to do chairs like this as well. Set up an assembly line...lien up the chairs, two techs, one sprays, one hits with the Makita and then then the "spray tech" puts the chairs back. We've done some restaurant booths with encap, but never chairs like this.

 

[Scott S.]

I just use the same dilution as the carpet, just remember your using less on fabric than you would carpet. Just enough to get it just beyond damp. I used the hand bonnet for these but I do occasionally use a small 6" polished with a Terry cloth bonnet on it. The hand bonnet seems to be more agresive though than the cotton Terry cloth. I have brush attachment for my car polisher I'll have to post a pic for you guys.

[Scott S.]

I wonder how well the o2 encap would work on upholstery. Good question for Jim pemberton. I personally like the encapuclean green ds from bridgepoint the best. Smells great, customers always compliment how it smells better and fresh.

 

[PrimaDonna]

We like and use Surround products from Bonnet Pro. Customers love the scent.

Oh dear Gawd........I've been using this simple SHAMPOO method since the late 90's.
And if you don't think these encap scampoos aren't SHAMPOOS then well you've been reading too many fruit loops boxes.

It is simply amazing when someone discovers something OLD and suddenly makes it NEW.
But in reality it all reminds me of a time when I had a retard grocery bagger take several minutes to explain to me how he was bagging my groceries and the difference between paper and plastic sacks.
