Got problems with my sewer line and today realized that for sewer pipes leaking and sink holes full of raw sewage, there's no sewage smells. At all. Best I can figure, that gallon of left over carpet deodorizer I dumped down the drain a couple months ago was some ultra powerful stuff! Citrus...

COVID19 put the brakes on my residential work so I was pretty happy at the start of the week when I scheduled 4 residential jobs. All move outs, all with pet treatments so anticipating some pretty good tickets. Scheduled them up, 1 a day starting Monday. Got contacted by all 4 today saying that...

So lots of talk about various disinfecting services being offered during this virus outbreak. Particularly in the facebook groups posts regarding this are met with a lot of comments about getting the right training and certs before doing this kind of work, but very few people offering any...

I've been looking into this but not finding the info I want. Looking at using electrostatic sprayers to apply food grade sanitizes in a butcher shop and other food processing areas after the main cleaning. What I'm trying to figure out is do these sprayers require special chemicals or can we use...

Wall mounted gas heaters such as this can cause problem when cleaning with equipment that has a strong vacuum as the force of your TM, portable, or even high powered vacuum cleaners, can actually cause the flow of air through the vent to reverse, and pull CO back into the home.

Commercial work has been 90% of my business for about 5 years now. It's not bad, it's steady, a lot of the time I am home by 10pm, not bad. But every month there's a couple late night jobs that have me out till 4 - 5am. Aside from needing most the day to sleep after, in the last few months these...

I'm getting ready to do 2,000 sq ft travertine that needs to be honed an polished. I've already got my pricing worked out I'm just wondering how it compares. Starting at 200 grit DIP and progressing through 400, 800, 1500, 3000 grits and then penetrating sealer applied. 19 steps need to be done...

So I'm looking at cleaning the ceiling in a bar and grill later this month. It's one of those stamped tin ceilings that's been painted, lots of texture so that should be a fun pain in my neck... I'm looking for some advice on a good product to use for this though. Need a good degreaser that...

Bidding a commercial restroom cleaning, grout looks good except for a lot of places at the corner of the floor/wall. Going to give them a price to regrout just these edges but not really sure how to price this out.

As the title says. And I'm talking like $30 or less cheap. I know they don't work very well but I need something to get a couple jobs done and then I can buy a better one. Whats the best dirt cheap light you've used and where'd you get it?

So I received a call today where the guy asked me about the equipment I am using. I told him I use the Nautilus MXE500 Portable Extractor and gave him my 30 - 45 second spiel about it and how it compares with the TM units to produce quality results. Part of that is mentioning the CRI Platinum...

What causes the light that comes on to indicate both cords are on separate circuits to fail to come on despite both cords being plugging into separate 20a circuits?

Recently I've read about a half dozen issues of CO exposure in just the last week. 2 were from carpet cleaners who had thought they were set up in a way to prevent it. It can happen easier than I think most people realize. I've been telling people to use a clip on CO monitor. I'd say for anyone...

So a UV light will illuminate where pets have urinated. Recent stains may be removed to the point that they no longer show under a UV light but older ones may still be visible even after treating with something like Unchained and sub surface extraction. So then how do you know, going into a...

90 year old basement, concrete walls and floor. Musty as all get out down there. Doesn't seem to be an issue of mold though I wouldn't be surprised if there was once a mold problem. The floor seems to be the primary culprit here. Old, unsealed concrete slab. I'm thinking it needs a good deep...

Gundlach sealer. Water sat on there for about 10 minutes while we tried to get a good picture.

Turn the key, van starts right up but the starter just keeps turning. Turn the van off, remove the key, starter still cranking. I have to disconnect the battery (ground) to stop it. Seems to only happen if something has drawn from the battery without the engine running. Left my headlights on for...

@rob allen a few things on the label brought up some questions, hoping for clarification. "Dries to a Chrystal" - Like an encap product would? It's free rinsing so whats the added bonus of a product that dries to a crystal form? "99% Green @ RTU" - What prevents it from being 100% green? I...

Pee stained grout under a urinal, I sprayed a bit of kick acid on it, expected to see some fizzing but nothing. Scrubbed it a bit and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then rinsed and extracted. Zero improvement. Rinsed the floor more, extracted it so it was a dry clean surface, a little more kick...

Did a tile and grout job last night, commercial restroom. Client just contacted me and said they're leaving footprints on the floor. I used Gundlach sealer, first time. My understanding was you spray it on and you're done. Should I have gone back and wiped off the excess? I'll be over there...

Did a tile and grout job on a commercial restroom. Used to be a staples, now it's a restaurant supply wholesaler. The grout is as clean as it's going to get, huge improvement, but a little blotchy. They are asking is color sealing it is an option, I told them it's not advised but I'd look into...

A little practice at rolling out finish today. Never used a roller before, always a T-Bar. A little tricky to get it right but I'm almost there. Anyone familiar with that technique have any tips? Also, really liking this product. Whether I drag it out with a T-Bar or roll it I'm looking forward...

Anyone ever deal with this? Doesn't really look like there's a way to replace the part without taking the transmission out.

Haven't looked at it yet, these are the pictures sent to me by the customer. They don't look bad from what I can see in the pictures, wondering what you all think. How would you approach this?

Erin Howk, 15 years old, was killed around 2am this morning when a drunk driver drove his truck through her bedroom. I got to know Erin initially when she was 4 years old. I've never known a little kid with so much sass, but also compassion, and smart as a whip. As a young woman she was funny...
