Whats up this week?

We do have trails, but I can't ride like you can.. Winter is just riding on the lakes.. I would love to live where you do, but it's too late now.. I'm stuck here!

I have 2-buildings under my management on campus. All the other buildings are managed by campus facilities.

I have 2 large conference/ballrooms and 10 smaller meeting rooms and multiple office suites and the bookstore that are carpeted. Most of it doesn't get very soiled, food and drink spills mostly.

Its our tile and grout that needs daily attention and we cover that area with a Chariot ride on scrubber. Takes the custodian 90-minutes a day or so.

They just wouldn't invest that kind of money for carpet cleaning. They love walk behind portables so that any student male/female can clean carpet with ease.

I was cleaning because we had a large Christmas banquet and the custodians and students were busy preparing for it. I had the time and it allowed them to do other things.

Sure, I think you were just nostalgic.

Damn Keith you are a good salesman!
It will be faster and easier than a snowblower.

Well, yeah it's about efficiency!

 

[Able 2.0]

I'm not snow blowing!! It's a fooking parking lot!

 

[Desk Jockey]

It will seriously pay for itself.

It's not a lie...it will just take 10-15 years.

you can't because the trails are off limits or privately owned?

 

[Mikey P]

No, they just aren't out my back door.. The closest good trails are an hour 20 minutes from here..

It's a physical job but to say 98% of the 30,000 plus cleaners out there don't know how to do it correctly.

Last time, was a couple of weeks ago.

I cleaned several areas with a porty. Hated the cheap ass wand, hated filling and dumping, hated the 350 low pressure, hated the dual 3-stage vacuum. It was everything I hate about portable cleaning and MORE!

You're right. It's probably only 95%.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Crepes for breakfast, finish building the kids snowfort/slide hill, plow the rest of the property, then fondue for dinner….
Then sit in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa, and reflect on the past year…

lol

Only in the carpet cleaning industry are egos so fragile that owner ops think they have no equals.

You don't see that among plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters. Only carpet cleaners!

Most trade people are professionally trained where in cc most guys just learn from another hack or no where at all.

 

[Nate The Great]

Trade’s got their own set of problems and whatnot..

It comes down to taking & having pride in your work.. It’s not too common in this day and age..

Whether you work for a large company or small, the “norm” is just to “go through the motions”.. Passing the buck to the next person..

That’s my take on it..

So professional carpet cleaning on all the vans is just a farce?

Plus who trained you guys? Since the other 30,000 guys didn't get the memo as to whom was professional enough to train from.

Do you mean when I started at Stanley? I was actually taught by a guy who was pretty damn good at cleaning.

So he was a 1% or .5%?

I can tell you unequivocally with absolute certainty...

[Dolly Llama]

Union and non, there are mooks calling themselves "professionals" I wouldn't let build a dog house, wire a plug or change the handle on a faucet.
