what I cleaned today..

Ely and I went one a fatty up in Atherton today.
11.5 million according to Zillow.



Yet too cheap to buy a doggy door.


15 by 17 machine made wool and the skirts on some very high end upholstery was SOAKED in Snickerpoodle juice..

The house manager did not want to send it out due to the FACT that Snickers will continue to pee and the rug is too worn for $6.00 a foot washing...

So for a mere $3.00 a foot we dragged it out side and did our best Randy Hyde impersonation..

Lots of uph too.

We'll be delivering fresh pad and picking up fans on Monday


Went home soaked in piss, very much needing a shower..

 

[Desk Jockey]

How did you explain to the homeowner what you were going to do with their rug? What did you do with it afterwards? Inside, outside, garage?

 

[Mikey P]

The CEO of house management could not get a hold of the owner so just gave us her blessing to do what we felt was best.

We laid out plastic on the lR floor and brought the rug back in after extracting it real well. It's a very thin machine made so we got it dryer than Willy would have left it.


Placed a Snail under it and an Airpath on top.

Ely got a valuable lesson on just how much it takes to really get urine out of a rug. It was his first time seeing such a thing.


$2300 for everything.

 

[Desk Jockey]

It was the most through way to handle it if you weren't going to take in inplant. I just wondered how you approached it.

Nice job!

 

[Mikey P]

Even if the home owner was there, I'm sure they would have went along with it.


but with no one home to be bothered by the fans, a place to flat dry it, a place to washing it and the balls to pull it off, it was the perfect Piss Storm.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'm sure they will be happy when they return.

I wasn't sure by looking at the picture: Was there a backing glued on to give it extra dimensional stability?

I'm surprised it did not buckle on location due to the jute core expanding while wet and putting tension on the woven fiber. And yes, it practically takes forever to get most of the urine out of a soaked rug.

 

[Mikey P]

No backing of any sort. No jute either.

Polypropylene..

 

[ruff]

I'd be damned.

It has the stitches and glue, just like they do some of the Starks.
And the narrower strips just like the Axminster (or is it the Wilton that has the long strips?)

Is it tufted?

 

[Mikey P]

Nope...

Custom machine woven..glued and stiched seams

 

[ruff]

Right, that's what got me mystified.
If no jute, what is the core around which it is woven, made of?
Polypropylene?

 

[Mikey P]

As far as I could tell, yess.

 

[Mikey P]

been a long while since I touched a wand..

 

[Mark Saiger]

Can Relate to that!

 

[Harry Myers]

Mikey that is 3/4 yd wilton carpet. Being handsewed helped alot from fooken it up. It has alot of jute not poly wefts. I see the way you flooded was good uneven can cause alot of bubbling. The seams were off by the sewer but it looks like he sewed it with equal tension . Be careful and you see that that is like a 100 a linear ft and could be more.

 

[Mikey P]

it was ready for the dumpster...

 

[Mikey P]

but you sure know your stuff....


Impressive.

 

[Harry Myers]

Hey it worked I do it to but you did a good job on it. From what I seen but those are never polypropylene weft always jute. I do immerse mine for a equal flooding .

 

[Mikey P]

They guys said it looked and smelled great when that brought back the fresh pad.

 

[Harry Myers]

Lol no protection. I charge $1.25 a ft I'm sure Cali can do at least $2.00 on a great solvent protector.

 

[TConway]

Okay well we finally finalized a account we have been working on and super glad we got it but.... All the units are poly carpet, and because of the delay getting contract with them they have gotten a little on the dirty side.
So you know how when you are put in a situation where you just can't come up with a excuse you just have to buckle down and do it well my hate for poly is starting to fade a bit.
I have been working on my arse off to get these things clean, getting paid very well for but I have to show you some pics, everyone of the units has tile, and stair case, just been talking with Mike D. about his bull nose tool, I had a idea on the way back from ICE about one, as I know I am going to be cleaning more very soon.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Looks great!

If it appears like you'll keep that account I'd get one of the larger RE's to help with production time and less wear and tear on your arm slinging that fool thing.

Thanks,
I agree with you 100% the little RV is slow but I honestly believe it has great agitation having the dual heads, the amount of soil I get out of the carpet with this thing is nuts.
I bought it because my son helps me on occasion and I don't have to worry about the buffer type action getting away from him and knocking a hole or a leg off of something.
But I do agree it is the slowest of rotary tools.

 

[Desk Jockey]

It looks like it is doing a great job, just a small head. A large head would give you move coverage and not wear out the operator so easily.

 

[jwfoulk12]

Def the slowest but you can't beat the agitations as one head spins one way and the other the other direction.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Even if that's the case, I'd much rather swing the i or XL vs slinging the weight of the powerwand.

 

[Mark Saiger]

This one has been impressing me the past couple of weeks (Rotovac 360 XL)

Pics are from different jobs....but what a crud digger outer....

 

[jwfoulk12]

Agreed, thats why the xl is on the truck and original sits in the corner of the garage.

Slow day for me. Slow time of year. I cleaned one of my Always Clean accounts. 450 s.f. total in a D, H and MBR - open areas only- $150
Next, I had to clean a piss loaded rental- 1240 s.f. of polyester - $460
Then I had another Always Clean Commercial account to do later in the afternoon. Jewelry store- 850 s.f.- $212.00
On the jewelry store, I used my last pouch of the sample product that Carbonated Solutions sent me. I prevaced, presprayed, scrubbed the really bad areas with a red pad and then bonneted it all up. I'm telling you guys, buy some of that stuff. It works wonders. Especially on piss and coffee.
