Last job before Christmas holidays 2018

[Mark Saiger]

This bathroom kicked my butt.

Was a wax coating that was different than a wax.

Two strippings to bust it loose.

The rest went well. Good thing they had more work to make up for my 2.5 hours in that little bathroom!

@Mark Saiger You cleaned those area rugs? I reccommend they have dry cleaners do them with their big wash machines. They are cheaper and do a better job then I can in the same amount of time.

Seeing the restroom reminds me that the university bought each building a Kaivac 2 weeks ago. I'd never used one but 2 of my janitors had before. Amazing how much better it cleans vs what we were doing. Not TM cleaning but 500psi rinse.

The water turned yellow around the urinals when they were rinsing. Pretty sick.

The Kaivac squeegee works great, not rubber blades but like a glide material. They need to add a solution line to it for controlled rinsing.

These are really heavy duty rubber backed rugs. Very rigid and not going to fit in a commercial washing machine.

And the location of this place is a MN State building.... Way out in the boonies...closest place for a washing facility is about 80 miles from there.... So we are the next best thing for them due to those restrictions

The results look great. What kind of bird did the fox have in his mouth?

Rotary would have made the wax job easier. That’s why I carry at least an RX 20. I also use Kaivac floor tool for strip jobs if not an auto scrubber.

Bonesaw stripper. That suff is wicked.

epoxy guys are supposed too have a sick steipper that will help break up epoxy. ive wanted too try it on wax but haven't had too many bad ones unless saltillo

Had a lady call today wanting one area rug cleaned. She flipped out at my minimum charge. Said she’d call around.

She called back later saying she couldn’t get anybody else to come out TODAY, so she’d pay my outrageous price.

Ummm ... NO!

 

[Old Coastie]

Call her back and tell her I’m willing to look at it in a coupla weeks. As a favor, just because it is Christmas.
