Mark, how often do you guys need a wand to detail residential jobs when Zippering?

We will take him!

It would be a blast....

He looks good in Blue

hardly ever....

My son in law has some crazy skills with that Zipper.

We have learned just to "horse" them around even in tight closets.

He was doing this all day yesterday and calling out "here's one for the boys watching"

Mark,

In one of the pictures you posted you are parked on some grass. What are you doing to prevent burning the lawn?

Mark,

Yeah, that's actually their driveway out there in those pics... Lol

Northern MN at its best...

We do have one tonight we have to be on grass and I really hate that.

Just don't like people thinking we do that if someone else were to see...

But it is hidden behind a big commercial building and they ask us to come in that area. We tell them it will burn the grass for awhile and they are ok with that. We do try to put down cardboard under the van motor area and also the blower exhaust, but still can snuff out the grass for awhile

 

[Brian H]

It's the vehicle exhaust that we have issues with, especially in residential areas.

We use a section of automotive garage exhaust hose with a chain. We slip it over the exhaust and hang it on the back bumper with the chain. It works but the hoses don't last that long.

Some of yesterday's jobs...some great views....

Some REALLY trashed carpets too.

One place....move and clean under everything....and there were spills and spots under all of it!

The call center we were cleaning at starting at 5 pm, decided last minute to only do half of it....I didn't argue or really feel bad.

Still $2,800 day and most of it residential....Wooo....

Feel the burn this morning

[Mark Saiger]

We put cardboard under the one van that had to be parked on some grass....

Just really trashed and loaded with every cleaner possible carpets.....

Head Maintenance guy loved the Zippers, because they were faster, he thought cleaning better than the wands, and he got to go home earlier because the Zippers were faster!

 

[Nate The Great]

Idk how you do it Mark, to take pictures and still be productive...

 

[Mark Saiger]

We ended up way North and in the sticks for awhile today....

But one of our clients has the coolest dog....Tilly...she is 9 years of age and a great companion for this elderly lady.

Thought Mikey P. might enjoy the pics and told her we had to show him the pics.....

Dark spots in the center of the room were from someone fixing the fireplace and making a mess....

Last job of the day, was a doozy of craziness....woo...woo....took about an hour longer with the client there but they did have a cute Poodle and King Charles mix

Today, we have to split up the vans for a while....Then tomorrow, I got talked into helping clean a church about hour and a half away....they tried the Zipper and love it....so now want to use it more tomorrow.....no sleeping in!

The above pics were just during the set up by the way...the water lines were run on the side walk when we got going....

Hey what is that black thing on top of the corner guard on the step railing/end post?

 

[Nate The Great]

Hey what is that black thing on top of the corner guard on the step railing/end post?

It's called a Super Strap... The maker company used to sell it... You can strap your vacuum hose with it and it has a smaller strap attached to it to hold solution lines when coiled up... Then it doubles to hose the vacuum and solution line and the bigger strap will attach to the railing....


I'm not sure if there still in business...

That's called "the Hugger"
Invented and made by a carpet cleaner out of Colorado.

Love them for a number of things and really go together well with my Duk Guards!

Love the Super Straps....

There are 2 different types out there...Super Straps and another one similar, but the Super strap is the best...my local distributor got me the cheaper version and it did not have the plastic part the strap goes through...did not like it.

John Olson from Superior Cleaning solutions can get the correct ones by the way as well.

The day's just keep beating on us...but we got er done!

Got talked into cleaning again tomorrow for my former band director at a church and hour and half away....

paying back to my past teachers....got to help out when I can I guess.

My wife says at least get lunch out of the deal

We separated up the vans for most of the day until the last large one of the day....carpets including under beds, move all other furniture...and some tile and grout....which now they see what color it really is and we are going back

Great views...some great phone calls and conversations with other carpet cleaners just met through my YouTube and other internet searches...now kick back time....and happy puppies make my day too!

Neighbor brought me over this scotch for being neighborly and plowing in the winter and being neighborly....time to crack her open

We find a use for those little gems somehow everyday...

2 sets of brushes for them too....

Standard white not too aggressive

and commercial Brown for more aggressive...

Easy to switch out
