How many of you carry a Hard Surface Wand everyday?

[Mikey P]

Tile and grout maintenance accounts, edgeing, corners, steps

VCT

Wood

Laminate

Concrete




In this day and plastic age you'd have to be a real goober not to...




but we can do better..

[Desk Jockey]

[Steve Lawrence]

Too little space in trucks but my teams can call me anytime and I will deliver whatever they need pronto. Done it many times.

I've got both a brush and a squeegee hard surface wand. I'd like to upgrade mine to the Gekko swivel so I can get in between toilets and walls a little better

 

[Mikey P]

A swivel would be nice, what else would you like to see on a HS wand?

 

[CPS Dave]

I always carry my zipper, titanium quad jet wand, 2 types of upholstery tools, two types of stair tools, SX7, 12" Turboforce, single jet corner detailer, and pressure wand. Every job I ask for at least one extra type of service, sometimes including a demo. I get about half of these offerings. Easiest way to upsell hard surface cleaning is while cleaning carpets, hit the edge of their tile with prespray and wand so they see the difference. If approved, pull out the hard surface tools and chem to finish it off. You can do kitchens, baths, front porch, garage, patio, etc.

 

[Mikey P]

Welcome Dave!



And right on brother!

A plastic shield that goes between the brushes and the jets. A lot of times the brushes will bend back and get in the way of the water spraying down. And when the brushes wear down so much that the plastic starts touching the floor, that'l just be a reminder to replace the brush

How old is the white magic? I had the water cooled model back in 91 but the motor had a major problem and I sold it soon and moved on. How is your mom doing .

 

[HydroDude]

There is a date wrote on the blower that says 2002...I bought it this past summer from guy in Port Charlotte that bought it from someone on the east coast that never used it, low hours, haven't has a single issue with it...best part about that truck, it's all paid in full.

Mom is home and doing good, was able to go out for Christmas dinner, and drive to see all the lights.

 

[steve_64]

I carry one but it doesn't get much use yet.

 

[hogjowl]

Swivel floor wand, edge wand, hand tool and spinner. All the time.
Along with every other popular tool that you didn't ask about but serveral of these ^^ goobers just had to mention anyway.

I have a Gekko swivel wand and it works great. It's the new one that has proper qd's, not those little ones that won't come apart because they are seized up. What do I want? If you can put on multiple cleaning heads like the floor tool, corner tool and edging tool, Why the fook, don't they add a carpet cleaning head and a carpet cleaning edging tool? You could put all of your heads in a bucket and change over to the one you need at the moment, instead of running back and forth to the truck to get another type of wand. Oh yeah, I forgot, all of the corporate heads are already in the bucket.

Taking all those BBsame in and out would drive you nuts..

 

[BradFenstermaker]

I does four Shore.
It may be a whole month without tile then all of a sudden have some everyday for a week.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Yes... Hard surface wand in both vans.. PLUS...

Every tool I would say possible!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Yes, and foam squeegees.

Just about every house has extra money laying on their floor.

 

[GreenTechAgain]

Hands and knees are still the best and fastest way to detail a t&g job in my opinion, under counters, corners and behind toilets.

I use vacuum line and terry towel.

Had the swivel detail and corner tools and never used them. PITA

Have a six-inch hand spinner for shower stalls, tub enclosures.

 

[SamIam]

Spinner for wide open areas gecko for corners.

And yes like the greentech said be prepared to get on hands and knees with an acid to do a little touch up.

I'll take the zipper lol

 

[Mikey P]

Agree to a point.
Most jobs do need hand and knee wipe downs


but once a new client sees how nice their Travertine or tile comes out, if you dont gouge them, they'll want their floors cleaned twice a year. Thats when a Hard Surface wand come in handy. Much quicker.
