OK, I booked a job for 2 small bathrooms of tile.. :wink:
But the thing is I only have a carpet wand.. :roll:
So my cleverness kicked in and thought about some clear 6-inch Door Guards.. 8)
I picked them up from the autoparts store for $0.99.. :lol:

Do you guys think its gonna work for such a quick job.. :?:
My thoughts say yes because the plastic/rubber Door Guards will act as a squeege.. :?

I hope your not serious, but if you are, you would prolly be better off using a brush of some sort from lowes or home depot and scrubbing the grout lines, then rinsing with the wand. The wand is not going to blast out any dirt from those grout lines.

Lester, I thought we went over this, you bought the cheapo wand so you could have a few pennies left over to CALL LISA and ask her for a factory second AW29 glide.

I will point you in the right direction, but if you don't go, I'll continue beating you with a stick month after month, year after year.

866-438-8335

For $20 it can be there overnight.

he actually picked up the homemade glide from nick. Nick tested it and says it works just as good as any other.
