How real men clean a staircase.

[ruff]

To each his own

I find maneuvering with that mofo you're using to be actually a lot more work and harder on the back and the rest of the body.

I use this: http://pmftools.com/prodStair24.php

I find it to do better, faster and with more flow cleaning. Did I mentioned better results? I can clean the nose going sideways much better. And..............being on my knees (the only drawback, though I don't have to contort my body like the guy in your video) actually help keep my back straight at all times.

On the other hand El Mike- Carry on

A real man cleans a staircase with a titanium wand 2and a half inch hose and a powerful truck mount.

hack?


came out great!

no mini wand or hand tool will out clean a full size, full flow wand.

I have a cut down 10" with a 11008 jet that will out flush any 6(little pissy) jet wand on stairs.
Much more maneuverable and cleans better in cracks and crevices than a glided wand.

agreed, not the best method for 90 pound Grandpa's..



Toweling is good too.

90 lb Grandapa......I like that cut! As much as you think you'll be sitting behind a desk when your 60+, don't count on it too much....unless you're a "Ken".

I think if it were possible to keep all the angles the same as wall to wall than maybe your analogy works, but with all the twisting and straining it isn't worth it.

A Prochem upholstery tool with a #2 jet will out clean anything, more lift as much flow as your ti wand why aren't you cleaning wall to wall with it??

Still if your happy doing it your way congratz my 5 foot 8 son couldn't do it that way maybe with a quad.

Agree with Sam here. More finesse with a PC Upholstery tool, and probably faster. Also can clean along the wall sides of the steps, where filtration dirt settles in this area.

Also with Brad.....do you turn the heat down for the stairs? My wand (quad or Ti) would be burning your hands from the heat of the Genny. No way could it held like that without gloves or a towel.

To each their own method....whatever works for you.

I hacked some steps out in a rental that way today and it wasn't any easier. My usual method is to first mist them with the wand. Then rotary scrub them with a 12" scrubber. Often I'll use the wand for the risers. Then I use a two jetted hand tool ( A one jet tool with often distort the pile) for the steps and bullnose followed with a toweling.

I thought this was the right way to clean steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRxJ4sNoZJQ

I have now seen two internet guru's videos on how to clean stairs. I liked the other one better.

However, I must say that I often clean stairs the way you do, only I clean the risers on the way up (so I am not stepping all over clean carpet) and the treads on the way down.

Now that my son is working with me, the stairs tool comes off the truck more often because he is much shorter and doesn't like having to jump up to trigger the wand on stairs.

You haven't seen ME clean a set yet...stay tuned and get your pocket watch ready

 

[SamIam]

They call him zipper! We're gonna nickname you Zip if your to fast.

 

[Jim Nelson]

My son cleaned the top, step, thread... and I saw the opertunity to film The King Tiwadning the riser..


Watch my knee assist to get the bull nose extracted..

 

[GCCLee]

Cleaned a set yesterday like that, using the AW29 of course : )

Sometimes I run into problems hitting the ceiling transition towards the bottom, or getting tangled up against the wall, just hate it when you gotta turn a corner to enter the stair well!

 

[hogjowl]

I really want to meet you one day and shake you hand.

And see that crappy "uniform" up close.

 

[Mikey P]

You must really be a homo.
