  need help on pricing
Posted by: Duane - 06-03-2014, 12:20 PM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (2)

Going to give a bid on a very heavily soiled carpet at a video store. It's 6,500 sq.ft. What's the highest I could go to get it back in shape,& the lowest I should go for maintaining it once a month? I was thinking .25 a sq.ft. For the first time & .15 - .18 a sq.ft. For maintaining. They're talking about getting new carpet so I don't want to loose the job,& of course they are use to steam cleaners that don't charge much & do a half...s
job!


Thumbs Up HOS ORBOT FOR SALE!!
Posted by: Absolute Restoration - 06-01-2014, 12:33 AM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (10)

HOS ORBOT

The machine looks brand new! Literally used on two jobs, has maybe 2 hours on machine!

I bought this machine in 2011, when we started to enter the commercial aspect of floors. But our company started working for commercial residential companies and we use only CRB machines. The machine has been sitting in a heated storage room. It does not have the optional on board sprayer.


I will gladly send pictures.

Included:
Small kit
Medium kit
Large kit
20 bonnets (only 4 or 5 have ever been used, the others are brand new white!)
50' power cord

You will not know the difference between brand new and this machine.

765-491-4788 (Rick) Please feel free to call or text... emails are fine too.

$1500.00 (I will gladly arrange for shipping to most anywhere in lower 48)

Damon which size CRB do you recommend for residential? I'm buying one of Ricks in a few days. I'm thinking the 15".


  New challenge: oily dogs
Posted by: CleanItGreen - 05-28-2014, 02:49 PM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (7)

Lately I have run into a couple of customers whose dogs were very oily. in the most recent case they had light colored frieze carpet and across the middle of the living room and in the bedroom, where the dogs like to lay, the carpet was discolored. encapped with hydrox to no avail. even did a bit of extraction as a test to see if that would work. nada. question: what are you guys using to get at this stuff or is it permanent?

i'll save the fact that they were unhappy that i don't do full HWE and actually went out after i left and rented a rug doctor for another day. ugh.


  ct6 encap training course (is it worth it)
Posted by: mark63 - 05-27-2014, 06:48 PM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (11)

I see a ct6 encapsulation training course in Philadelphia on 6/3. I was wondering if anybody has any experiance with this company, and if you think it will be worth the $399.00 per day charge.


  CRB. Safe For All Carpet Types?
Posted by: Blue Ridge Floor Care - 05-27-2014, 02:24 PM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (2)

I am getting very close to pulling the trigger on a new CRB machine. Have you found any fiber types that would not be compatible with CRB use? I believe only certain vacuums are recommended for Smart Strand. Would using a CRB be a problem on Smart Strand if using the softer brushes? Any other areas of concern with this machine? Thanks!

  I need some insight and advice!

I have been capping a Retro Fitness gym for over a year. I do five of them in total and this is a very important account to me.
Last Thursday I did one. I did the two looker rooms ,day care and 2 offices. The men's locker room cleaned up great. But with in 24 hours it had severely resoiled in the entrance and the entrance to the bathroom tile area from the locker room. There is even dirt on the tile on both sides of this area. There was a 12" wide path about 7 foot long that literally came back in a dark shade of gray and when you rubbed it with a cloth the BLACK dirt would come off and even on my finger tips.
This is what I did.
Pre vac with beater bar vac.
Punch at spec mix
DS2 4oz to gallon
Cimex with pads.
They do the post vac the next morning

The rest of the areas I capped look great and have a clean feel as you run your hand over it. But the path that resoiled is just terrible. It's as dirty as before I cleaned it.

Today I went back and drenched the resoiled area with pure water and shop vaced it dry. This made a huge visible change for the better but I have no idea what it will look like tomorrow. The water that drained out of the shop vac was BLACK. I don't own a porty. I have been doing everything up to this point with a BrushPro and my Cimex. Seams like my experience is capping is working great for residential and I have a hitch with bad soiling clean ups with CGD carpet. I must admit I have read many times that some big names are just capping commercial. I thought I could also. I'm questioning this now and hate the idea of having to spend thousands for a nice porty.
Anyone else having these issues or in site?

Thanks, OxiGreen
