the wood only product?

I’ve never used it. However, the ZEP non-ammoniated glass cleaner concentrate cleans hardwoods and laminates very well, with no visible residue. Mix at a very low concentration, maybe 1/2 oz per gallon. Scrub with whatever and rinse with a microfiber spin mop.
One drawback is that it is not as effective on grease, you may have to swab something else in the kitchen (if the glass cleaner doesn’t geddit).

I use either or at my house and can’t tell much difference. I like Zep for personal use. But, if I use it for biz, of course I complicate it.

do you imagin that the dead oak tree can tell if the schmuck on the end of the mop is being paid minimum wage or $100 an hour?

At $100 an hour and being a hard surface specialist you should be able to afford professional products, which by the way are actually cheaper because for your product ZEP you are paying $21.50 for an RTU and for the Hydroforce it's $24.37 @ 1:4 and you get to look like a professional using professional products.

I use the zep $10 a gallon neutral no rinse option at 1 oz per gallon..

The customer doesn't see where that gallon comes from..

nor do they give a dam....

What makes a commercially manufactured product "professional" ? A higher price ? Some of the carpet cleaning supplies I pick up at the local janitorial supply house cost 1/4th of what they are at our festive carpet cleaners supply houses. By the way janSAN is like a gizillion times the size of our industry.

Says the guy who charges $.85 per sqft for carpet cleaning

 

[hogjowl]

And still vacuums without edging

Everyone is just so pissy all the time.

if you weren't so Canadian, you could probably get it too

I like the idea but it would be a stretch. Considering that I did a 3 story apt building with 2 stairwells and lobby for $650. I usually moderate my sqft price by my time on the job. This job was 3 hours so just over $200 per hour. I'm good with that.

I wonder if Damon is really just now realizing this?
