THE ONE THING I HATE ABOUT GREEN GLIDES

[Goldenboy]

Plastic strings that hold on price tags. Yes I pre-vac.

Ditto on the plastic strings!

 

[John Watson]

Hey norskman, maybe you need a different vac?????

mine has a Swedish name but made in Italy!!!!!

 

[-JB-]

Don't forget about ornament hooks! GGGRRRRRRRRR!

Whats the deal with those plastic price tag tabs/strings???? Small as heck, yet they refuse to go into the wand-slot. I have bigger objects come up all the time with no prob. Hmmm.. I think the Carpet Elves put them there to make us bend over.

 

[Goldenboy]

Way too funny. I thought I was the only one who fought those things.

No dude, the worst ones are the ones that are all crooked.

 

[vincent]

They are great to chew on though.

Hey, Odey baby ... we have pine needles down here too.

Dummy

 

[hogjowl]

No ... we just call it ray-ed clay down here.

 

[Eric Scofield]

Terry try a slot glide when you clean Grizzly Adams Cabin. :idea:

 

[A. wilson]

Ditch the vac and get a leaf blower. It's more efficient at yard product, and when you're slow with carpet just do some leaf blowin.

 

[Tahoesteve]

ODIN,

Yep...

the pine needles are a pain.

Even without the glides.

Only way I found effective is take the hose off the wand and suck-em-up.

I've even tried the pre vac with a shop vac...them little beotches are still a pain...kinda like my ex

Did a house today, dam plastic bb's in every corner and under the beds.

One thing I wish GG would do is offer the glides in "Krazy Kenny" plastic stock, in addition to Teflon. I beat the crap out of my glides, and the Teflon nicks on the tack strips.

 

[hogjowl]

If you'd charge a little more, you could slow down and stop doing the "krazy kenny" cleaning strokes and that would help you be a little more careful.

You know, a scratched glide still slides as good as a new one.

I think you're just being a whiny butt.

 

[steve g]

use a slut glide to suck on bigger things

 

[Mikey P]

Teflon will self heal. It is soft enough so that it sort of burnishes itself from the friction of the cleaning process.

Plastic glides get nicked up and generally stay that way. You can file or slice them smooth again.

Ah, Marty....you just gotta deflate my ego. I better double up on the xanax today.

I do clean SLOWLY.....Meat got me hooked on the "slow strokin'"....no Krazy Kenny chop strokin'.
