How long does it take you to wand a staircase?

[Ron K]

Buff....come on...how often does that really need to happen?

Everytime

 

[Nomad74]

Good video. We are truly nerds.

 

[Mikey P]

Everytime

Wall to wall as well I hope.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

30 minutes ... usually...to to a set of stairs. Vacuum with the portapower first. I use the Saiger’s PMF dual jet swivel stair tool I won at auction on the board. Generally fabric protector is an easy sell for stairs. $100 for the standard stairway and $50 more if they buy the protector.

About 30 seconds a step at best.
Always a stair tool. Occasionally use a crb or nylon brush on bullnose and an occasional towel.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Just go buff your bullnose

 

[Steve Lawrence]

I clean the risers first. Too many variables to give a time length.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Just the wanding portion...not vacuuming, pre spray or scrubbing..

Cleaning the risers last with a normal wand is kinda BASSACKWARDS! I hope this is a joke like the one you pulled in Atlanta, cleaning a couch with a stair tool.

 

[Mikey P]

I bet you cant even explain why its "backwards" other than you do it differently...

How long have you been cleaning?

 

[Dolly Llama]

cleaning a couch with a stair tool.

what's wrong with that?
on durable/non finicky fabrics with long and straight flat panels a larger tool rocks

You're allowed to turn down PSI and have a glide on the tool ...uno



Typical stair case time;
always wanded personally and detailed with hand tool when necessary .
empties blasted thru in 5 to 10 minutes
slower, more detailed pace in res and almost always hand tool detail finish there ...10 to 15

.L.T.A.

Long enough to not have to go up the staircase twice like you did

 

[BIG WOOD]

Do the risers on the way up while wetting the bullnose with the jets. Cleaning the landing on the way down while vac hosing the bullnose every 4steps.

 

[Mikey P]

Stupid.

Mine get a second dry pass on the way down and with good wand control, youll never have to cuff the nose unless their trashed.

 

[Dolly Llama]

unless their trashed.

like regular up 'n down dog knee/leg bump

and cuffing is bullchit hack way to "clean" (different from vacing excess moisture/dribbles)
hand tool flush/extract roll over is the way to clean moderate to severe "dog knee" bull nose right

.L.T.A.

I bet you put triangles on the risers also.

am I making your blood pressure rise?

I agree... Risers on the way up, treads on the way down. No foot prints when done.


I'd imagine, Mike' last run on the way down is removing his foot prints (and dry strokes because he did none on first run)... Sssssssssss!

I bet mikey is punching his punching bag right now with my picture on it.

 

[Nomad74]

Did Mikey get mad and kick the neighbors dog when he had to walk back up the stairs to get his camera?

 

[SamIam]

I’ve used a wand on clean steps when I’m just doing the treds.

I'm with cleanworks use a stair tool!

The Sapphire tool is excellent for flushing noses..

How much do you bumpkins get for a staircase out yonder, $15 or $20?

 

[Ron K]

Exciting isn't it Jimmy? I forgot, you don't have stairs in Nebraska.

down to the storm shelter they do!

 

[BIG WOOD]

$35-$75


yonder lol

 

[Nomad74]

$3 per stair, no exceptions.

 

[Jim Williams]

A straight wand like the Hydrahoe is perfect for wanding stairs. I find it very awkward with an S-bend wand. I can hack them out in well under 30 seconds per stair, then upholstery tool the nose and riser. Less than 12.5 minutes total for most staircases.

 

[KevinD]

I've always priced normal basic stairs at 10 times my current s.f. price.
Side wraps, spoked, open, stair runners, wider than 3', etc. all additional.

It is a good tool............for upholstery. On a thick carpet it does not flush nada. Not designed for it either.

 

[Mikey P]

On a thick carpet it does not flush nada

lets see this magical tool that flushed bullnoses at 100psi....lol


Did you notice the lack of contortion?

Nice and straight spinal alignment.

wasn't worth my time to tell him a spit bar upl tool wasn't the optimum choice to flush rinse

but since I'm here, I'll mention what the best is
it's an enclosed flood jet tool
