Steve-
I'm just south of Flint closer to Hartland. We got 12" last night and I had a restaurant to clean this AM, so cleaned my drive out and made it to clean by 9:00am. Glad I had the Cimex. Came home and had to dig my way back into my drive from the county plow.

Time to go to work fellas!

Here is some work for you who are in for whether reasons.
A chance to use your teaching skills.
Here are some photos that shows
what i will be cleaning soon.








As you can see there we have some construction
was going on. It seems to be one of two things,
paint or dry wall puddy mix. What would you guys do
to clean this up effectively and proffessionally?








Next, you see here we have a nice pile of paint for sure. But, not sure if it is water or oil based.
How would you approach this if it is water based?
Andhow would you approach if oil based to bring a good clean finish to the carpet?

O.k., CHOP! CHOP! WORKIE! WORKIE!






Thanks
Your Servant Alex

On the paint I would use POG in test area and after removing as much dried paint as possable. On the drywall putty read the label for thinning or clean up and clean accordingly, then follow with regular cleaning I would try a citrus solvent if no info on the label. Lets us know what you use and how it turns out.

Thanks Jeff.
If you really look at the orange paint, you 'll notice that its stacked pretty thick. 4" x 4" x 3/16"

I'm still perplexed about why it was left there so thick. No attemts at all to clean by anyone. (office suite)

Thanks
