Love that Cobbs Ultraseal.


Easiest stuff to work with by far.

One day you push grout perfect the next cobbs man your sole is cheap

 

[TimP]

Grout perfect for your color sealer. I wasn't really aware of them selling a regular grout sealer. (penetrating/impregnator)

But for the price and performance I don't think you can beat cobb for your grout sealer.

I have to say Cobb's sealer is great! I don't do too much tile and grout work but when I do, I like rolling it in with the ultraseal.

And yes there is great money in TNG.

What about cleaning tile at 5-6 hundred psi with a 3ht?

Yes you can clean like that. Just keep in mind you'll have to scrub more and rely on your chemicals more. Probably will have to break out the acid cleaner more often to get your grout clean.

There is no reason any carpet cleaner shouldn't be able to get into grout. I just suggest at least a class of some sort first. Or do lots of reading in the hard surface room. It's not hard but there are things that can get you into trouble.

My favorite acid cleaner for dirty grout lines is definitely the one from the Monkey Pad company! That acid cleans much faster and easier then viper restore. Less scrubbing-quicker money! I admit it I did spend some extra time messing around my truck while I was working on a job.....to waste time because it was cleaning so quick the custy would have been looking like "you finished in an hour and I'm paying you $400.00?!?" Gotta love those jobs....

Thanks for the response. With my previous company I worked at, I cleaned alot of tile. Just clean and seal, no repair or color seal. It was really a joke and the chemicals were harsh.

I do want to ad T&G cleaning to my business, just got to get the tools.

The questions I do have is:

What is the best color seal?

What are the safest, best cleaning products to use?

What to charge for recaulking and what the steps are?

Is regrouting a viable service?

How to remove the hard water stains on the tile?

Your right I should hang out in the tile room more often.

What made your previous company a "joke"? Was it because they didn't offer color sealing and repair?

I don't offer either myself. I simply clean and seal.

You can do a good job, as others have said, simply using a 500 psi portable and a rotary machine with a scrub brush. Heck, with a good scrubbing, even your chemicals don't have to be all that great. Of course, good chems make the job go easier and great heat and higher pressure sure help a lot too, but don't think you can't do a great job with lesser tools.

In fact, tile and grout cleaning is like carpet cleaning used to be back in the 70's. Not enough cleaners are doing it, right now, to drive down the pricing of it. It wouldn't surprise me to see, in 20 years, the prices cleaners are getting then will be the same as we are getting now. So, while the pricing is profitable, get into it.

You can make good money even if you are slow at your production rates.

No not because they didnt off those services, alot of what they did was a joke. The owner was a joke. The lies, the misinformation and the business ethics.
