30k Mall cleaning - How I did it...

July 10 2011 at 11:31 PM

Joe DeSouza 

Hey guys, I just wanted to post this video on how I supply my Cimex machines with water when I'm too far away from a water source...there is only one janitor's closet in this mall, and not many water spigots outside.

I'm posting this because a few years ago we did this same job, and some people here were wondering how I did it, so I hope this helps! If anyone needs to borrow this setup, and you can pick it up, I would be happy to lend it to you if need it! (we are near Daytona Beach, FL)

BTW, we used (2) 19" cimexes (using DS2 and Max pads) and my orbot to clean it - the orbot was just for going over some colored carpet tile AFTER the cimex; I put in some Hydrox and worked it in with the orbot (with a cotton Pad) so the colors will pop! There was one entrance where there is a buffet restaurant, and not even the mighty Cimex could cut thru the amount of soil & grease, so I had to use my truckmount on that, then I'm going back tomorrow night and encap it to finish it off... (used Chemiester's Grease eraser as a TLC, run thru a cimex to work it in)

Joe

ps please excuse the Boston accent! LOL

We bought these at Walmart in the camping section.

Each crew has several they are positioned in the building where we think they will be running low on solution.

We also use a 4-ft cart so the tech doesn't have to carry them, he later picks up the empty ones and refills them.

On larger jobs it allows the crews to hit the ground running.

We use a combination of Joe's system and placing jugs around the job site, who uses what depends on what machine they are using
