I agree Act One.. I personally don't like the harsh chemicals and steam clean is debatable. The debate with steam is it can possibly compromise the integrity of the grout. Not sure if that is true or not, in our industry it seems for anything good there is always an argument that its bad as well. My motto is if it works for you then run with it.
All I can say is the crb has given me great results, less time, and ease of use. Of course that's only if you can qualify a job correctly (comes with experience overtime) in identifying sealers etc. on the floor. I always perform a small demo 1st, a demo will most of the time tell you everything you gonna need to know. Such as, final cleaning result / customer knows what to expect. Time it took for the demo can sometimes tell you how to price the job along with materials used.
Only reason (for me) demos are so important is,, sometimes customers think the floor will look brand new, although you can achieve amazing results a demo shows the result. Which results in the customer knowing what they are getting as opposed to a picture in there head of a brand new floor.
Geeze went on a bit of a rant there.. sorry about that.
Act one, I am gonna have to look in the duplex. I'm looking for something with some more brush width for the bigger jobs like a 20' width. Does duplex make anything like that?
