This Week's Job

So, you only service people who don’t swear?

And your friend @squidskc admits to cursing too. So does that apply to him as well? Trying to make sense of things.

I’ve said some curse words in my life. Brodie hasn’t used any on the phone with me or on this forum. I’m just saying if you are a professional and can’t communicate without profanity it shows low class. I don’t want to work for someone like that. That’s just me. I don’t care what others do, I just do what seems right to me.

Did you use a handheld sprayer or DS?

Downstream the r202, used 5gal bucket for nubrite and zep.

But i may start ds the nubrite since it works so well.

I’ve ditched pump sprayers for flatwork. I’ll mix a 5 gal and dump n scrub. Or straight zep with scrubber dunked in water, then scrub and dwell.

Looks good. Lot of work if you had to do all of that though. That’s about average dumpster pad around here, actually better than most. Try some EBC and or BD200 sometime.

It was a lot of work. So EBC is really that much better? I bought some when i first started and was disappointed in it. But i may have diluted it too much or not enough dwell time…

I’m willing to try again with some experience behind me.

Can you tell me how much of a difference it would make, let’s say if you had done that pad? Sincere question.

Same here! I think I was using it wrong too…

Btw, job took me 4 hours.

Yeah. From my research, it has to be used pretty liberally. Which isn’t ideal, as it’s expensive. I’m about to order some myself.

Not really expensive. Less than $25/gal. I keep about 10-12 gal mixed pretty heavy at 6oz per gal on my trailer all the time. Do you know how much you can DS at 20-1 with 10 gal. Average good sized drive may use a gal of mix. That’s $1.00. Average fast food restaurant may use a gal or 2. And if you’ve got some really heavy stains like dumpster pad or checkout window, may use another $10 worth in a pump up.

I’ve always heard a pretty strongly mix. Is that cold water or hot water?

I mix it the same for both
