give me wood..

[Mikey P]

Did a free test at a popular sammich shop today.


night and day.

The mop water residue was so bad it was like they were mopping with brown wood stain.

The Dirt Dragon got some off but I had to whip out the 175 the break it all loose and then rinse/dry with the DD.

The Basic chems work great just not sure how cost effective they are @ a 4 to 1 ratio.


I'ts maxing how well the machine rinses and how quickly it drys the floor. Very little chance of over wetting.

Thats a lot of sandwiches!

 

[Ron Werner]

wonder if it was scrubbed with CRB and a foaming cleaner, then rinsed with a wand at low water pressure and max vac

That DD looks like it does a great job. How wet did it leave it?

 

[Jamesh921]

What sealer do you plan to use?

 

[Charlie Lyman]

Are they going to have you do all locations? That would be some coin.

 

[floorguy]

What sealer do you plan to use?

Lippy in

You Spruced up that Pine....

Yeah, I'm sure the demo in the middle of the walkway pretty much sold the rest of the place.

Manager did not come out and say " ever heard of the saying, "test in an inconspicuous area 1st " "?

 

[Mikey P]

What sealer do you plan to use?

The Basic Coatings low soilids urethane

The owner picked the area to test.

slam dunk from ultra chem labs is the best stuff for wood that i have used

cool....you'll bank some jack cleaning and putting a semi-shine on some uglyazz spruce

on a serious note, doesn't the water and water based finishes raise the grain on the wood?
not that it matters on that crappy barn floor

They've pulled it Ron- I bought up all the Wood Seal that the Ultrachem suppliers had here as that's been pulled too.
Have you ever tried Clean for carpets?

 

[Bob Foster]

Mike can you please give us an update on how that Dragon is working out.

 

[davegillfishing]

Btt. Come on now. Anything new to add. Pics? I am getting ready to buy one.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions earlier today also

 

[ACE]

That’s impressive 8) .
I know that pine must have allot of deep scratches and gouges you cleaned out.
Pine looks amazing after good sanding and refinish but it takes on a rustic look fast. A satin finish might be the way to go.

 

[Mikey P]

Still waiting on a few more jobs before I sing it's praises, but so far so good.

 

[Joe Appleby]

Charge a decent rate this time ya low balling' woodfag

 

[davegillfishing]

shoot a real world video if you would please..i am about to pull the trigger but just want to see it in action but not
by some sales person..
do you expect to always finish off with a satin or gloss finish or mostly
just doing deep cleans?
do you have a waiver for cust to sign stating that the floor is going to look
different after being cleaned..i would assume pretty much all floors will lighten up?
just because dirt and grease is dark..
can you do all floors with it? bamboo and all?
thanks

I get several calls and emails a week for "wood floor polishing", yet I keep passing them on. Around here even @ $.75 to $1.00 a foot to clean and polish people think we are nuts, and we are in the top 5 highest cost of living on the east coast. 99.99 percent of my "in home inspections" are for floors that need to be completed re-sanded but people just want you to "buff and polish".

I don't use the dragon, just the manual way. I've thought about offering true dust free sanding to my company, so I can @ least offer them that option, but haven't gone that direction yet.

 

[daniel@procarpet]

That machine looks cool.

How much?

 

[Jimmy L]

Powerflite has a machine just like that.

 

[renegade_cowboy]

This is something I am going to be doing this coming year. Is it better to use the 175 vs the DD?

How long does it take you to do 300 sq ft of wood?

HACK IN THE HOUSE

Last night I had a laminate wood simulated floor that was pretty bad. Used a spray bottle, slop and gobble and a red pad 175, squeege, spray rinse, bonnet and high gloss seal.

400 sq $433.00 piece of cake. less than 2 hrs
