I ordered a hook that has a velcro strap attached to it that you wrap around both hoses then you can hang it on a doorknob or banister.

What's the name of it? I didn't see it in the post.

What won't this stuff clean?

This has to be the safest rust Remover on the planet. This is 3 spots of rust that fels naptha removed. There were a few more in the apt. but I only took pics of these. I couldn't believe it. Thanks Rob Allen for turning us on to this. He has it for sale if you want some. I have it strapped to the wand so I don't have to carry any spotter.

After

Amazing!

Easy label if you ever have to mix up only a gallon of something. Get a lint roller tear off one sheet and put the sticky side down and use a Sharpie and there's your label.

Keep a bread twist tie attached to your wand. Strip a small piece of the outer cover off with your fingernail and you have a quick easy way to clean the jets when they get clogged. Although you should remove the jets to clean them, this is a fast easy way to unclog them temporarily while your on the job.

Just order a welders tip cleaning kit. Cheap on Amazon

Hello, everyone
I'm looking for a new vacuum for home and consider between upright and stick. Need it in the 4-room apartment. Could you advice what better to choose?

 

[Ken Raddon]

I would advise you to ask that question in your own thread. Or read one of the many many many threads there are already on that subject. When you ask your question in an existing thread that's called hi-jacking a thread.

I thought I've chosen the right thread.. Thanks Ken

And yes, it's a wonderful thread and only 8 years old. I don't think you're imposing in any way.

I have been using Whink rust remover for 15 years. About 4 bucks a pint .Its in a brown plastic container,and you can get it at most grocery stores. Best I have ever found and cheap. Trust me on this one. Rinse well after using. Avoid getting it on your skin as it is an acid but it eats up the rust

Not only does it harm skin but it also permeates the bone marrow. We make a gelled rust remover. No waste, ton safer and never let me down. Just saying

Haven't you ever used a hose hook (stabilizer) ?


Anyone use something different?:AddEmoticons04259:

If only fastening the water/solution line, which occasionally slips in the hose hook by itself, I use a bungee cord that i cross rap around a railing. I use a 'cheap' nylon coated bungee with coated hooks which reduces chances of leaving scratches or leave black scuff marks that you may get from heavy duty commercial black rubber bungees with incoated hooks.

I own 3 hooks.
One seems to always get misplaced, the other 2 are critical when going up a stairwell of an apartment building where you should hook hoses in a couple of places to prevent playing tug-of-war with gravity yanking hoses down stairs and for safety of others.

Binder Tip

Rick
I do the same thing with a presentation binder. I call it The Healthy Home Carpet Care Complete Guide To Professional Cleaning. I have all you have in the beginning Plus...A pic and explanation of my Truck...My 12 Step carpet cleaning with pics...my 8 step upholstery cleaning with pics...my Tile & Grout with pics...Healthy Cleaning page with explanation of the Green Cleaning we do, client testimonial sheets and Copy of my GUARANTEE.

I find that when they see my truck they want us to clean their carpets, but when they look through the book they know that we are true professionals and they have made up their minds and will accept my estimate without question.

The thing is people are so tired of the splash and dash guys that they are thrilled to pay the price for a true professional. My track record for on location estimates is 100%. As for phone estimates I don't do them. Most people don't understand my pricing until they meet me and see for themselves what I can do for them as a true professional.
The Book Idea is the greatest!!!

Im pretty new in the business and felt the need to substantially grow-increase our commercial carpet cleaning. After losing my first few quotes to "what is your cost per square foot?", I put together a detailed proposal w/content on 'healthy carpet' for clients' employees, aestetics, etc., add pictures of their carpet with stains that will be extracted, pictures of my truck mount system and hoses, and detail of our multi-step process and the benefits. When I can I get a 15 minute follow meeting to discuss. Majority of the time, unfortunately, follow up is by email. Great news is, pictures speak a million words and details remove any mystery; we've been awarded the last 5 jobs--and we were the highest price on each one.

It is much easier to justify a high price with better value and position yourself as a professional, than to play the price game where everyone loses.
