I agree, to a certain extent. Everything I said is my opinion. I feel bad for brining it up because I’m “whining” as well. But opinions are opinions, what can you do. Thanks for reply and your opinion. I have my gripes about other things as well, but try not to waste time or anyone else’s time by making a post such as this one.

Here we go with the negative comments again. Oh well. And by the Jeff. Corporate has informed me that a new project manager is on the case and the Wrap/stickers will be made and installed at the SAR. Hopefully this will all work. A little dissapointed in the ha comment. How old are we now. I give up. I’m just going to continue to do my thing and help people on this wonderful tool we all have. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Look the post in this section called “new yellow page ad”. Ron Hollingsworth has an ad that looks great. Check out the FTP site by clicking on it at the bottom of city owner page.

I’m not saying that I plan to rip off the Lone Star State here, but I have a question on this? How do they know how much product and other things you purchase out of state. I did notice that on my quarterly tax form. I’m sure Cody did tell us, as well as a lot of other information. I will call my CPA today and find out for sure. That sure is a bummer though. Thanks for the info. I’ve been paying the sales tax of course which in Texas, because we like everyting “big”, we have a big rate at 8.25%. We do have some tax exempt accounts which make life a little better when it comes to quarterly taxes.
Loving taxes,

Thanks for the info. I may have to save the beer part for when I’m done, or might remove a window or something. Thanks for the tips guys.

Devlin is right about the store bought products. If they did put one of those monsters on there, then that was probably it.

I never accused you of “attacking me”. As I said, I should have reworded or thought about what I was saying before I said it. I just get a little “livid” when someone says “no, you can’t or shouldn’t do that”. I would not walk into a customer’s house and destroy their 2.50 psf tile floor and have to eat it. I do not have anthing against anyone. I don’t have all the answers, and you know that. You have given me some of those answers in the past. I do greatly appreciate it. But I stand behind what I said in the misc. section under my post “livid” which basically means angry. I get tired of people on here being the naysayers and it hurts me to turn into one, but someone has to defend those of us who are here for help, without biting the hand that feeds us. I do have to challange you the WD-40 issue (just kidding). I really don’t care. I do my maintenance daily and on weekends. I’ll have a smoke and feel better. Thanks for your past help and look forward to asking you for more. My research on tile and grout is to the benefit of myself and others out there who want products that give the maximum results. I do all this with corporate permission ofcourse. Have a good one.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. My opinoin made on misc. was not aimed at necessarily one person, but some. I would be pissed to. But I also have the right mind to realize that it is the installer, printer of the logos, not corporate. Thanks again for the info. I had a smoke and am feeling a lot calmer now. I just think that someone had to say something. Again, this a tool to help eachother, not hurt or degrade one another. Thanks again.

usually the red dye remover will work. I guess you got a permanent stain man. Sorry couldn’t give more info. Hopefully someone can help you.

First of all, Devlin, I carry the products in the van labled and then pour them into unlabled bottles at the jobsite which, by the way, is not against any OSHA rules and Daveinpa, do you think I would use a product and jepardize my business without an MSDA sheet. You guys need to chill out on jumping the gun on things you don’t know about. I often see operators asking questions due to the fact that they are new or just starting and a lot of you guys talk to them like their stupid or something. I do appreciate the comments but at the same time I do have common sense. I guess a “re-wording” on my part was necessary in my previous comment. A can of WD40 or tire cleaner does not warrant an MSDS sheet. If an the momement arrived and an “Inspector” were to ask, then it is a matter of wording. Are you using the wd-40 on carpet or for a sqeaky door. And last, Mr. Millard, I will be more than happy to e-mail you the PSR (or label) of the product and you can see it for yourself. I am sitting on top of a ceramic floor that I SEALED and FINISHED myself. I plan on using Heaven’s Best products in the near future, but as I mentioned in another post I made. There are DIFFERENT products out there that have different types of sealers, finishes, etc. Look at Wal-mart, they have 50 different things that do one thing and some do the same. It’s SALTILLO, not saltillion. I don’t know everything but get tired of one operator/owner trying to tell or debunk another operator/owner trying to help. I am currently in contact with Jason, our computer guy and will post picks of these as soon as I can. Then you can see my sealed and finished ceramic tile.

This place is a wildlife ranch. They entertain, do weddings, petting zoos, etc. It’s mother died, so the owners of the ranch had to raise it and it ran about the house, peeing everywhere.

Wax and shine is the name of the product that Heaven’s Best offers which is also known as aka “wax or finish”. I received my information from months of research on several hundred products for tile and grout. There are many different types of products out there that offer a variety options depending on what you want to do to the tile and grout. For example, The saltillo tile, it can be clean and sealed. If the customer wants it to be shiny, then add a finish. Finishing the tile is just an added bonus. A sealer, when it comes to saltillo, will dry to a hard durable coating and protects tile from extreme scracthing (wether it be saltillo, ceramic, etc.). There are so many products out there today that give you a variety of choices for what u think is better for your customers and what will give you the ultimate results. Now, I must say again, you need to contact Jon or corporate when it comes to this because I had to get permission for some of the products I am using on the floor, so I perfer not to release the name of the company I am currently using but Jon does know because I told him the name of the company. I just want you to understand that you take a risk at hurting the Heaven’s Best name and your business when it comes to using someone else’s products, so do extensive reaserch on different types of flooring before going that next step. The products I use, I do not let the customer see. I have empty gallon jugs with neither heaven’s best label nor the other company label. Call Jon and see if he would agree to let me speak with you about these products, or if Jon reads this, then maybe he will respond. My concern is that neither you nor I violate our contracts and trust we have with our corporate office. Jon and Cody and staff at the Heaven’s Best corporate are part of our familys and we need to ask the Daddy of the family before we make a dumb decision and get spanked.

I will be doing this as well. The same stuff I used on the saltillo can also be used on natural stone. I have a job coming up in a few months that is called Cantera Stone. Typically seen on buildings as pillars or statues. Thie particualr customer has about 1500 sf used as a floor for a wedding chapel. There is one thing I must point out though when it comes to products I am trying on these floors. I am doing the cantera and saltillo tile with products that Heaven’s Best corporate does not offer. For all the other tiles, such as porcelain, ceramic, linolium, vinyl, etc, I will be using heaven’s best tile and grout package. I received permission from Jon for using the other products for the saltillo and the stone due to the fact that corporate doesn’t offer a product for these. Remember that we are under contract to use Heaven’s Best products. Another thing to keep in mind is that you won’t find many stone floors or mexican(saltillo tile) floors in Idaho or most northern states. I am not saying that you won’t find, but will rarely find it. The products I used on the saltillo can also be used on concrete clean, seal, and finish. Talk to Jon a little more about the stone. Maybe our stuff can do it. I have just started getting my feet wet with tile and grout cleaning but I know quite a bit because I have been reasearching it for about 3 or months straight on a daily basis. Tile and gout cleaning is a whole nother business in itself and will keep you busy. It is a lot of labor but worth the results and customer’s smile.
