Do you use a coin?

[Clean Response]

I was taught to use the plastic squares we use for blocking to mark spots. Sometimes the hose would move them or wind but over all it worked fairly well.

. It's easier to manage than a bag of coins

these will fit in your pocket

[Wandslinger]

Or instruct your techs to mark deep spills or pet spots that disappear immediately as you pre spray so that you can remember to thoroughly flush them?


coins or harley davidson keys or washers or...?

Plastic Poker chips

This whole spot marking thing is stupid

This whole spot marking thing is stupid

coming from a guy who's customers would not call him back no matter what...

 

[hogjowl]

You know, I’d don’t recall ever being called back for a spot that’s reappeared. If I have, it’s been a long time ago. I’ve been called back for souled areas they thought should come cleaner but never a wick back.

"Admiral Clean does a good enough job but I sure wish we
had another company within 200 miles of here to chose from,
the same damn jokes every time he comes out, over and over,
over and over. Can I just leave the key under the mat or do I really
need to be here to help you move my lazy boy?"- Merl's brother Earl.

"Every time I call over there he acts like I just woke him from a nap.
But the carpet stinks less when he is gone,
so who am I to complain"- Mrs Sutley.

 

[Hack Attack]

I'm no peepee guru but I dont mark them, if there is more than a couple then the whole room gets nuked and flushed

What could a customer think If they saw you pick up a coin from their carpet... THIEF!

I've used coins as markers and had people pocket them while I was working.

Another reason to use slot Glides

 

[Mark Saiger]

No need. After 3 or 4 I treat the whole room as it is surely ALL affected to some degree.

Likewise

 

[Hack Attack]

which prespray has the least effect on your pearls?

 

[Nomad74]

I carry a case of ceramic poker chips. I like them a lot. The different colors go well with different colored carpets, ensuring that every spot will be easily found. I found that coins have a tendency to blend in like Matt Woods at a cousin humping contest.

Did you go metal detecting also?

 

[Old Coastie]

Use chalk. Or not, I don’t give a toot.

aww crap I've got a wine stain on my carpet now

 

[Hack Attack]

I used chalk for awhile, but it disappears with the prespray anyway.

Just lil more juice from your HF, if it disappears before extracting the wand window lets you know when you've found it again

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

MY GAWD.
And to think I USED to look up to some of you mooks....
Plastic poker chips are 1.99 @ a dollar store for like 25....
Isn’t it much like washing your car in the dark if you don’t know where the dirt is????

WHY WOULD YOU NOT MARK THE ‘dirty’ SPOTS????

How does a guy know if he’s flushed the area enough?

Or, is it just getting the same treatment as everything else??

hacks....

Is it right to say you haven't a window on your wand?

can!t speak for Toms wand lol

but a window should be on every wand imo

It changed my cleaning style and shows where you need to slow down for either flushing or drying

Bingo markers are a $1 at the dollar store for a whole bag. I used to mark with them when I was VLM only. Now, using the RVJR I can flush any spots that really need it on a case by case judgement.
A little poo for you!

Extract those spots FIRST WITHOUT PRESPRAY, to make it easier to proceed.

 

[hogjowl]

Here we go ...

 

[BIG WOOD]

Get to the important part of this subject in the standards manual and tell the new guys what is says on when to use:
Powdered Sodium Percarbonate
2-4ph Acid rinse agent as a pretreatment
Liquid Hydrogen peroxide
Liquid Enzymes

That's 4 different types of treatment that our suppliers have done a wonderful job at confusing all the new guys. There's a need for each one and there's a specific time when each one needs to be used first and last.

I'm still waiting to see the updated instructions on these 4 scenarios. Why are you holding back Mikey? Quit talking about marking piss spots


I've learned through trial and error on when to use which method with more error than trial. I'll tell you what my summary of it is when I see the "standards" process first. I"m thinking it just says how to use each one, not specifying on WHEN to use each one

Huh?

you need instructions on how to hump aunts, uncles, sisters and what, grandmas?


I must have missed your request

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Let me look back in the archives, I'm sure the Dixie Mafia had something on the subject

 

[Rob Grady]

Always first without. Rarely have to bust out anything else when RV cleaned.

(Shhhh. Next I’m going to suggest using a propane torch to toast the fibers a bit)

 

[AdamDumphy]

Easy to remember for a young guy like myself. And with the devastator I can tell when I go over an area I had used deodorizer or spotter.
