Second job for the day!

Machine shop. Years of funk, gunk and shavings. Degrease; Dwell; turbo nozzle to sweep away shavings and then finish with a surface cleaner. Client did not want hot water as I was gonna rent a Hotsy trailer to leave it :dark_sunglasses: but they did not want to proceed. Will make do w cold water and lots of fun. Will post after pics


Progress
somewhat

Where is that metal filled, oily, gunky water going?

In 5 gallon buckets. Client is responsible for disposal.

Be sure to post some “after” pics
be interesting to see how that mess cleans up with no hot water.

Current waste haul. Halfway to greatness :dark_sunglasses: There’s a semi before and after. Client is satisfied w simple degrease and pressure wash.

Lol. Right.

Why don’t they want you to use hot water?

I’d have to rent the machine at an additional cost. I gave ‘em options and they are satisfied with this result.

Aaaaaaand to hell w pump up sprayer! This will produce mass amounts of shi*t.

Now selling high capacity recovery vacuum. This beast was made by pros for pros

How’s it going in the machine shop mate? Good to see someone having a go at a job most would pass up.
I reckon its a good learning experience tackling nasty jobs as u really find out what works and what doesn’t and what u would do different next time .

Job went well for the most part. I did the entire floor with turbo nozzle and pre mopped with Zep degreaser which helped some. It was my understanding we would just spray the place down and I had no idea of the thick tar-like build up mixed with metal shavings stuck to the floor nor waste disposal. It was for a relative so payment was so-so and he helped out with the shop vac and disposal of waste. For the next time I do a machine shop I would absolutely rent a hot water unit, that is if I don’t already buy one, and rent a reclaim system that pumps out into a tote some distance away and a surface cleaner/vac hook up combo.
