For you guys in the parking deck cleaning business. let me run this by you tell me what you think....
I got a call to help wash a new construction parking deck for a Local PW company ...his equipment consisted of three portable cold water machines with a lot of water hose, no surface cleaners ....just wands and three guys.
The site furnished one of them vacuum sweeper machines that was used to help get the water out.
Waste Water went to cement detention pond that's under the building to be pumped out at later time.
They was appox 67,ooo sq sf on one level
his three guys started on one end and I started on the other and we was going to work our way out.
With My equipment ( 11 gal min - 22,000psi) along with my Steel eagle vacuum system (vacu-boom)that I used when the Vacuum sweeper got behind.
He wanted me to use a wand as well to push the dirt out.
I was able to clean approx 34,ooo sq ft in 12 hrs (2 -6 hr days)
His 3 guys cleaned appox 33,ooo sq ft in about the same amount of hrs
(Labourers probably paid by the hour)
So my question is how can how can using a Reg. surface cleaner be faster when you have to go behind it a push so much dirt out?
It did seem easier to go over it one time and you did not have to rinse behind you!
This was my first one so feel free to voice your opinion.
