  1. Rob there is no way to remove it from a wood floor. Even concrete is tough.

    Most likely only the floor got saturated. A male dog will lift his leg. The trim if any along the base board. Toss it and start over.

    The floor if its wood. Shellac the spots. This seals the odor.

    You can use kilz on a plywood floor. On a nice wood one you understand the shellac answer.

    Wood is so porus that the urine will permeate the entire depth.

    You may want to check out the underside also.

    Charge big bucks. At least 100 bucks an hour plus material.

    Any other questions let me know.


  2. What does evryone do for work when its below freezing?

    I live in northwest Illinois where it gets below zero.

    What kind of work can you do. I assume staing decks and even house washing is out of the question.

    Beth talked about washing boats that were cacked with ice.

    Im sure this is few and far between.

    I look forward to any respones.


  3. Hey Matt we have to get together. I still want to pressure wash. Just so busy cleaning carpets. Email me with your phone #.

    Im at zimm36@yahoo.com

    I have a product that will work. If you can wait.

    Try a little bit of tide or smthing similar on the spot. Make a wet paste and the give it some dwell time. Then flood it with hot water and extract with a wet vac.

    Call me any time if you want or leave your #.

    Mine is 309-737-6179


  4. One tough direct drive is the best way to go. Now having stated that.

    The configuration is as follows.

    You mount the engine and blower at exactly the same height. Where the 2 shafts meet.

    Then you use a coupler. I like the rubber ones. You get full power. Takes up less room. With belts you have to offset the blower.

    Dont forget a muffler. A blower is very loud without one.

    Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am not an expert on this. Just my expierence with different setups.


  5. One tough you are right about most evrything lol.

    However most truck mounted carpet cleaning machines only use 1 to 2 gallons per minute. This is with the trigger keyed the entire minute.

    The main diffference between carpet cleaning and pressure washing or power washing.

    With carpet cleaning you have to make a couple of dry passes with the wand. Then theres the lady of the house talking to you half the time lol.

    When we move furniture we have to stop cleaning. All this gives the heat exchanger time to heat up or recover.

    Heres an example of my water usage. I can go out and clean all day. My waste tank is still not full. My waste tank is 100 gallons.
