Last week I was talking to a very reliable person who told me about a situation that you cleaners will find it hard to believe. There is an Indian Casino in the East that has been open for two years with multi kitchens and hoods. The systems are all Gaylord Waterwash. The problem is all of...

One feature of PWI that is overlooked by most is the Search Feature of this site. Any question that you have can be searched and the results given in just a few seconds. For example I remember a few years back a member mentioning that he uses used uniforms. I simply put in Used Uniforms and...

I was told just a easy 20 question test. Well out of the 20, I made 85 per cent or 17correct. Good test, but one should have all your NFPA 96 – Manual and anything that would help you. The questions are clear, but somewhat obscure and tend to keep you on your toes. Do not think it will be a...

If you are a hood cleaner this happen all the time – you set a time and a date and the account is a NO Show. I have solved the problem, each of my trucks have GPS Units that collect data on stops, starts, speed, location, times and date plus more. On Thurs I had a job set for 10:30PM and the...

New game - last post wins a prize from the first volunteer.:D

In these time of high gas price and the reality that our workers (employees) are finding it harder and harder to make it to payday, I am considering going to a weekly payday(Friday). I am just faced daily with request for advances and so on. This was a suggestion to me from the outside that...

Back in February 07 one of my managers had a serious fall from a single story fixed ladder. All the details and drama related to this event is unimportant. OSHA was called in and this created more drama to the event. But what this did was to make me take a good look at how my company and my...

Corruption at PWNA:eek: I have heard from a good source that PWNA has a little problem with corruption with regards to money and vendor ownership/kickbacks. Does anyone know what is going on or can shed some light on the issues? Over the years I was aware that the books for PWNA were closed...

Five Million Dollar Liability Policy I have a mall requiring a 5 million dollar policy – has anyone run into this? My agent says it can’t be had for our size of companies.:eek: :mad:

I am concerned about the lack of activity on the bb, & what can we do to get it back. Is it at all even possible. The Grease Police is not setting records at the same time, but GS is doing fine at first glance and a second look. It would seem that we have diluted the overall mix with just too...

Last night one of my crews were cleaning a national chain. The next morning I come to find that they pulled out of the job - WHY? No joke, a group of homeless people were living on the flat open roof-they were aggressive and my manager had a safety concern and pulled off the job. I called the...

Today I went out and gave an estimate. The line was 36 feet with a pizza oven made to look like a wood fire brick oven (gas). The system was at 6 months and was dirty-not real bad. Any case I was talking with the manager when this oriental comes up with an apron on and start asking question...

My brothers and I are settling the house estate issues of my parents. One of the hurdles is an old upright Mason Piano. Well the plan was to find out a range of worth and exchange it for some minor work at the house. Among other things I was given the task. First I did a search and came up...

Same as the music except it is movies. Name of movie and actor or director Lets sayThe Wild Bunch-Bill Holden The Wild One-Brando

Over the years, I have one pet peeve and that would be new construction with floor drains that are raised at around .25 inch thus creating a floor drain that is not operative. Is there logic or just poor workmanship? The problem it adds so much to the larger jobs-when you drop to the floor...

This Tuesday while working at a large property that we have been cleaning systems for better than 10 years. This property is strung out with 15 different kitchen locations under one roof. Well as I have done on each visit I check my managers work and point out the positives and the negatives...
