Flex oops!

[SamIam]

second time at this house power max last time.

A few drips and a shoe print

Helper swears he wiped everything down

Pretty sure it's the flex with citrus not the flex ice that caused spot!

 

[EDS]

I use flex all the time and have never had an issue.

 

[SamIam]

It's not the chemicals fault, I don't think my helper wiped it up. Also I should've used my drop cloths. Just saying be careful.

 

[realclean]

Looks like it took the finish off.

Might be able to fix with a foam Q-tip and clear finish.

Topical on porcelain?

 

[SamIam]

topical on laminate wood.

 

[Mikey P]

wipe on some VCT "wax"...

 

[hydracat]

Yep that's Flex. I was going to ask if anyone else had this experience. I got away with it but I'm very careful around hardwood and laminate now.

 

[Mikey P]

Any high alkaline solution will melt waterbase topicals.

 

[hydracat]

Like when the janitor spot cleans vct with windex.

Consider at least theses or even Mikey has some roll out floor coverings....

These are canvas on one side with a poly coating on the other....we use them everyday.

The blue is the poly coating on top of the canvass you see in the Amazon pics. These are not just blue tarps from the hardware store. We have 7-8 on each van.

I feel like a hack after looking at that prep set up...

I feel like a hack after looking at that prep set up...

Don't feel like a hack....

There was a long time that I didn't have floor coverings and not enough corner guards really....and maybe other things I now do differently....

Have to say reading and watching on this board gave me many ideas of how to improve myself and business...

There are days, we (I) still mess up....

I had a post last week I didn't notice I was burning the clients yard with my van tailpipe....Oops....my bad

Got lucky, but dang....just when you think you are watching everything....

 

[EDS]

I use corner guards...and I had a painters drop cloth that I use sometimes. I like the look of your set up. Will mimic...

I don't know how you get any work done Mark with all the set up and videos. Do you spend time talking to customers or are they usually not home?

Oh....I'm a talker too with the customers

I just keep working while the clients are talking with us....

And sometimes, I am answering a bunch of contacts that come in too (mainly only if no one is home)

I don't let the grass grow under my feet too much though....always moving.

But when I do crash....Oh Boy....I am out!
