Cleaning Steps

I went to give an estimate for a condo complex that has 650 steps and 52 landings. These are split up into 26 units.

What is the best way to encap steps. I dread the thought of having to run miles of hose and breaking down and setting up several times?

I agree

I agree with Drew.

Use the Hoss machine.

Here's a couple more pics, I like to protect my gear.

This shows it fitted with the two handles that it comes with.

You DON'T have them both on at the same time.

Pre-spray the treads and risers, fit the long handle and work your way up, cleaning each riser as you go.

When you get to the top, change to the shorter handle and work your way back down cleaning the treads.

I place both handles in the lower thread when using.

That's the way I find easy, comfortable and quick.

You may even have to vac; after cleaning due to the amount of rubbish that is dislodged.

Close up of the unit with the attachment that allows you to screw in the poles.

The business end.

I am looking at a right angle drill w/ handle and use it with the pad driver.

I have one of those Cyclo scrubbers. Can I buy the handles and the aluminum bracket for mine?
