Let's hear your ideas for the ultimate carpet cleaning wand

[Mikey P]

I'm interested to see how the Sharpshooter wand with a glide will work.

It works KILLER, if you like a straight bend, which has it's reach advantages.

Does it clean well right to the edge?

My favorite Alabaman has brought this issue up I believe...

(No @hogjowl , I'm not trying to pique your ire....it is a serious question to Mike)

Yep, but so does the Evo with my ( wide) Glide and a manifold adjustment

Feel free to buy a Delran glide Matt, your complaint threads will be worth the loss of income, which is puzzling since you havent bought a Glide from me according to my QB records.

So where are you getting glides for your PCTI?

As far as sub $1k wands

Im selling lots of modified AWs at $600.
They are easy to sell because I use and love mine.

Comfortable.
Durable.
4 flow, two jet impact is ideal for most of my light soil client base.
Can easily be changed to 6 or 8 flow for frog nasties.
Great for furnished homes.
Shocking dry times with 4 flow.
Cheap, like you.

Can you get me a Delran for my prochem?

The last two glides I bought were from you Mike.

It’s 100% green glide

 

[BIG WOOD]

My apologies Mike. I got the purchase I made 6-7 months ago mixed up with the glide on my proti

It’s lasted way longer than expected. Time flies in this business.
I’m sorry again.


Now back to making a wand $1k or under that’s got proti quality. If you can do that, I’ll buy 2 of them.

you have a 650 and you gooped in on?

Do you glue that silly hat on too?

 

[BIG WOOD]

I goop all the time.

My issue is with overspray.
I don’t WANT my wands to clean “ right up to the edge”!
That’s what causes issues.

Which issue would that be?

 

[hogjowl]

I’m not going to play your games today

 

[Mikey P]

Exactly.

 

[BIG WOOD]

we need to learn and accept the fact that “just” cleaning the top 25% of the yarn is often more than enough to satisfy the client and the greater good of the carpet cleaning and producing industries.

Who in this industry has actually measured the cleaned part of the yarn and came up with that number 25%? BS mike

This isn't the 60's and 70's shag carpet we're cleaning with a 1 jet wand from a 70's carpet cleaning machine

 

[hogjowl]

It just depends on what is being sold

Its a generalization Matt.

I also believe many situations allow for 99% clean, even with a OP.

 

[hogjowl]

We suddenly jumped to 99%
Amazing

Me too, lots just give me their garage/alarm codes and Venmo me when I’m done. The rest are clean housewives, who love dry carpet in an hour or two.

Not sure why so many losers here,. Who’ve been doing this exponentially longer than me are still doing apartments and shit holes. Unless some are in an area where there really aren’t any affluent towns.

What’s the benefit of this wand over the SS12 other than cost? Seems like a a basic head design not at all designed for performance like the SS12 and others.
