Are they BLIND with no sense of smell??

Doug; I can call you Doug right??? LOL

We went through just over 100 pads

I will say this last night is what John refers to as "digging for gold"

It took around 8 hours, The pads are soaking as we speak I'll throw them in the washing machine in a minute and they will be good as new SO add an 5 minutes to throw them in and 5 minutes to take them out. We don't count soaking time.

 Half way through the owner stop in and after seeing the results at that point and us explaining to him  that this is going to be a long thourough cleaning that would take extensive labour just to get it up to a managable point, we were able to double our price and secure an every two week contract with him.

 Now that we have put in the tough work, the every two week jobs will be around 30 pads and 2 hours. we will then charge .32 per square ft but because of the results he didn't even cringe. We will be talking to him tomorrow about the tile and grout which makes up about 75% of the restaurant. He has already expressed his interest in this service on a by weekly basis aswell. CA~CHING CA~CHING Dougie thats all we are seeing! LOL

Oh and when we checked back this morning it still looked great and the shocked looks for the staff said volumes!!

PS. that was not a not so bright question at all if you don't pad then you don't know YOUR QUESTIONS ARE PERFECTLY LEGIT!

P.s. There was so much grease on the carpet we actually did bring in the 400 psi porti just to see if it would make a difference (and possibly save our pads) however it didn't budge the dirt or grease so we went back to SCRUBBING with the OP brush.  We were thinking about you and Steamer while we were attempting to steam it LOL You guys were in our thoughts.LOL

Oh and the one area we did use the HWE on

 this morning when we went back had some wickback. Sorry  But just to show that we did attempt it.
