The challange should be each guy must clean 100 houses (maybe 500 rooms and 50 flights of stairs) in a month going six days a week. After two weeks the Steamin deamon guy would be postponing jobs or working till 9PM. Getting to a job and finding faucets that you can remove the aerator, hoping the water is hot, hoping the psi is above 30 (or you're really gonna be there a while), hoping you don't blow a fuse because you don't have any more on the truck, it all adds extra time to the job.
And who told that fool with the
Vortex to choke it down with that stupid slow 360? Why not use the power the machine provides, a nice hi flow glided Ti wand would have knocked 1/2 the time off from the 360 puttering along.
The Steamin Demon looks like a good tool to keep in the van in case your TM pukes. At least you will finish the job.
I used a machine like that in the 70s called the Vac11 and had all those problems. But it would clean as well as any machine with the proper preconditioning. Once I got my White Magic I stopped using it forever and I doubled my gross volume the first year with the new truckmount. Sure it costs less to use the SD but a TM will make a lot more money over a years time.
