Well I guess in Davids eyes I am a janitor. I have had 3 Cimex machines, 2 Challengers and 1 Vento (worst machine ever) and I have gone back to using a 17" rotory machine.
I don't get many calls for resi work (and the ones I do get are all from Craigslist, so you can just picture what type of customers they are) and I am a janitorial business (office cleaning, carpets). I no longer do floor care as the price of wax and ins will kill you and it's a lot of hard work for little money.
I use a 17" machine with pads that have the green stripe in them, I have a corded sprayer and a pump up ( I use the corded on resi work more then the pump up) a good vac, good chems (only from Rick) and a carpet rake.
Pre vac, spray juice, dwell, clean and groom, collect money. It's simple. I do plan to buy a more newer light weight 17" machine, as I have an older model way back from 1998 and it's built like a tank.
