ParticipantWe just had our Florida seminar end of Feb. The new Tile equipment was demoed, very impressive. The state owner Ron Smith has made avalible for our use (1 year) to test. 2 weeks ago I bid a job in high end community 2600 sf of tile (18″) at .50psf & sealer at .25psf., estimate was $2000.00 I explaned to the customer of the amount of work involved arriving at the price, she would have to talk it over with her husband. Two days later he called back and asked to have the work done the following week.Needless to say I worked it into my scheduel. I picked up equip. from Ron. Tues. we did the cleaning (3 of us) cleaner, agitate grout with hand brush & tile brush attachment with buffer then extact with tile Equip. Weds. returned sealed and cleaned carpet in upstairs bonus rm. altogether $2200.00 for day & half of work, Nice ! The customer was thrilled, he said it had’nt looked that good since new. I’m not telling you that tile clening is easy, but big jobs like that can straighten out the sorest of backs. If your thinkin of getting into this line of work, this is the way to go, the new equipment and reformulated cleaner is far better than the old systems. P. S. sorry for being so long winded, but its been 3 years since my last post ( I promise Ron, I won’t wait so long next time ! ).

ParticipantBill, Thank You for that post on new tile & grout equipment. You and I both know that corporate has made available to us a good piece of equipment and new hard surface cleaner, which will make us a lot of money in a new field. Move over Stanley Steamer, you now have serious competition! With your post you have now let over 300 operators know how good this new equipment and product works!!!!
Thanks Again,

InactiveI was hoping that with the new machine, there wouldn’t be the scrubbing as described by Bill. Do you think that scrubbing will be a must on tile jobs? When it was demo’d in Salt Lake, the conditions were really bad, and the results were great without scrubbing.
