Yep, walked off and didn't charge.. Oh, it wasn't carpet though....
It was concrete... I was asked to remove the oil, diesel fuel, grease and gunk from between the railroad tracks where the locomotives sit. I got it all clean, however, I couldn't get enough of the oil to lift out of the concrete to allow it to be covered with an absorbant material that HAS to be applied with an adhesive. So, I didn't charge, but had fun trying something a bit bizarre for a Padder. NO water is allowed here in this environment, so no powerwashing etc can be used. |

well of course they are covered in JUICE!
you say that you don't dry the pads after...thats a concern for me.... don't they start to produce mold and mildew?????and start to smell?? what cleaning could you be doing with a contaminated pad? ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

The pad is not contaminated at all, we use a machine that uses UV light and a silver probe to produce silver ions, peroxide and oxygen to clean AND sanitize the pads.
I don't dry them because they last longer, plus we use everybucket every couple of days so NO MOLD or MILDEW concerns at all. We have found that our new way of washing the pads removes the old soap and bleach and soil and they don't get musty smelly at all. ------------- Converting HWE customer to VLM customers for 30 Years! |

It is not the washer, it is a separate machine that just does the water ionization and such, we do sell them, they are about 800 bucks, but with no soap or bleach or hot water, they more than pay for themselves. ------------- Converting HWE customer to VLM customers for 30 Years! |

John L, I don't know you, but you called me a liar, and you are simply WRONG and full of it, don't know your motives for doing so, but people here know I shoot straight and tell it like it is.
Hence, you sir are a liar and just because you can't wrap your head around WHY things are the way they are there is only a sign of your intellegence and understanding, has NOTHING to do with what IS! ------------- Converting HWE customer to VLM customers for 30 Years! |
