Doing hallway in high-rise apartment buildings and noticed the Cimex doesn not clean around exit doors and elevator doors...you know...those little corners.

do you guys just brush?

I was considering using a doodle bug.


Thank You

brush works with sprayer & releaseit/DS. Or you can purchase the Icapsol mini from Rick G. I understand it gets edges really good. AS close as a half inch to edge. I do the brush cause i have to. The Icapsol is on my menu though.

Thanks

Corners

I use an angle brush like this one. Screw on a broom handle or take it off when scrubbing stairs. The bristles are rough and it does a great job. I bought mine in Florida for about $5. Looks like this one is available at H

Doodle bugs work ok, but they tend to flip around a lot. Too much friction from the carpet. The triangle brush is by far the most popular one we sell for that purpose.

we were thinking doodle + pail of water/encap DS to keep the doodle wet.
we have the 19" FiberPlus so we'll cut those square.

Get a handle on Heacock's

May 15 2007, 4:47 PM 

A few years ago, Rick G gave me one of Gary Heacock's triangular brushes.

I now have two and would not be without them.

One with handle, one without, saves time screwing.

Been down the road of other brushes, doodle-bugs, etc;, the above brush rules.

Cheers,

Shorty.

Anyone ever use a Scamper? Those things are fantastic. You can put a brush head on or use a thin encap pad. The motor is powerful and does a great job. I used one a lot in residential for filtration lines, but works great in commercial also. I did a church auditorium once and that thing earned it's keep that day for sure. All the pews had to be edged around and there were a bunch of em. I've got one that I'm gonna sell if anyone is interested. You can check one out at Bane Clean's site. I gonna let this one go for $300.00. (I've got too much equipment).

Has been trouble free for me. To my knowledge there really is nothing to maintain. What I like about it is the power combined with the light weight. Plus it takes up very little room in the van. Neat machine.
