Looks like the auto scrubber is a great tool . Certainly faster than a swing machine and probably faster than the square scrub orbital machines that don't use stripper. ..My question is how hard is stripper solution on the auto scrubber. Does using this machine this way lead to more repair work on it and how many more feet do you guys get using this machine vrs if you used a swing machine and wet vac?. Floors looked amazing.
Hello Mike, thank for commenting. Yes stripper is hard on the machine. We have to keep it cleaned out more. But it saves a lot of time verses a swing machine.
Thank you
Those twenty inch machines don’t have enough pad pressure to completely scrub off the old wax. You need a 28st
The only difference with the side by side is that the work is more uniform than with the floor scrubber, if you don't know how to use the floor scrubber you will find dirty roads
@@dustywagon298 we use the double scrub method. Usually 2 to 3 passes is all that's needed. Thank you for commenting and are you on cleaners connect on Facebook?
@@12misericordia the scrubbers are great for little strips because it's a lot faster. We also have a propane stripper too for heavy jobs.
Thanks for stopping by
Will these floors be burnish after wards and in the future will you be trying the auto floor finish applicator from the same floor machine rental company it works as sufficiently as our other floor toys fellas, great job though ! especially on such a beautiful large 20,000 sq ft store. It will make the floor finish application much easier with labor and time.
Hello Tommy,
Yes we burnished it about a week after. Yes at some point we plan to get the "walk behind" wax applicator.
Sounds like you know your stuff lol
Thank you for your comments
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855 What do you think of the backpack applicators?
@@jasexavier I've never used 1 before but they look very efficient
Hello again! Check out our video on burnishing

Nice work!💪🏽
Thank you
But how does a auto scrubber strip off all the finish so easily? Are you sure this is not scrub and recoat
Hello! We use good chemicals. Give it at least 15-20mins before you strip. Use a good black pad, we use a diamond pad. We also scrub 3-4 passes too.
I hope that helps and please feel free to contact us or ask questions! Thank you for your comment
I am amazed in your job but how do you measure the square footage of the area? Is it just the working space or the whole area including occupied space?
Good evening
Thank you I really appreciate it. Usually on larger corporate accounts we just go by the property listing and yes that's complete floor space. Its actually less than 20k because of the fixtures and etc. Sometimes google has a good area too. Today most building areas can be found on the internet. Sometimes we have to go old school and use the measuring wheel lol(long process)
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855 I see now. You guys really a great help. Thank you so much.
@@boygeorge6808 any time. Work smart and make a lot of money
quick question , I recently got asked to do a quote for 28,000 square feet at a store with the same style of building in your video , how much would you roughly recommend I charge them per sq.ft?
Good morning and sorry for the late response. We normally try to get $.75 for 2,000 sqft and less. Usually the 10k and up is very competitive. But to answer your question we would charge $.30 to $.40 a sqft for 28k. Which is about $8,000-$11,000 billed
I hope this helps and please feel free to ask or comment. Thank you!
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855 thanks for the replay, definitely clears things up
@@Anonymous-dh4fl any time! Good luck
Thanks for answering me, what kind of solution or defoaming do you use so that the machine does not fill with foam ? And how long does it take you to make a store for example Walgreens ?
We don't use a defoamer, haven't had any problems. We probably can do 10,000 sqft in about 8 hours with 3-4 crew.
Thanks for asking !
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855
I do walgreens every single night
It take my crew the most 7 hours whit 4 coats of wax
By the way my crews ar 2 person
@@yvetterodriguez7828 yall are moving! That's awesome time. Walgreens are sweet
@@yvetterodriguez7828 hi 👋
Do you guys need someone with 8-9 years of experience in strip wax VCT, terazzo floor or hard wooden floor . I did all that on nightly basis in Australia . Have a great knowledge of using different Pads according to floor conditions. I was floor tech for few years then got subcontracts done that for couple years . Now in new country trying to get into same business which I love and worked every kind of small or big job from office floor to big supermarket/ malls upto 15000 sq meters
Hello, my question is how much do you charge for that job in total?
Hello and sorry for the late response. I think this job was around $8500 for a little over 20,000 SQ feet. I hope that helps and please don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Thank you for watching
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855would you charge more if you had to move tables? Great job as always!
Question if you could own only 1 machine to strip floors. Would you pick a propane stripping machine or a auto scrubber?. I have some floors coming up that probably have 20 coats of wax on them. I do all my own work with one employee.
I own both but if I only had 1 it would be a auto scrubber. The propane stripper works very well but all the pick ups and rinsing will get you lol
I hope I helped and thank you so much for commenting
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855 Thank you for the response.I have a number of 2200 to 2400 square footage stores that are due for a total strip down to the bare tile. They are closed 10 hours. That is my window. I have been using the square scrub machine on them for last 5 years. Even being very careful to clean the floors very well before waxing they have now begun to discolor. The last time I removed that many coats was on a daycare that someone else did. It must have had at least that many coats on. I don't remember what stripper I used back then ( over ten years ago) I just remembered using swing machine. Apply stripper, use swing machine with black pad scrub wet vac and repeat about 5 times. Myself and one helper probably average a little over a hundred feet per hour. Given my small time window ( need to get the stripping part done in less than 5 hours to allow for waxing time) along with using a autoscrubber ( The only one I currently have is a 14 inch eagle ct15) any other advice??. These stores are waxed every 6 months and buffed in between.Thank you.
@@Floorguy1985 it's my pleasure to help. I like to use BARE BONES stripper for jobs like that and make 2 batches. 1 to flood the floor and let sit for 30+ mins. 2 to reapply after waiting. Let the swing machine 175 go 1st and the auto scrubber with a black pad to strip again and pick up. Propane buffers are good for many layers of Wax but you should be good doing 2000+ sqft of tiles
20 coats of wax its crazy u ned really concentrate striper n u need 3 times agitated minimum after that u need a really good machine to break down all the wax
What type of antifoam are you using ? For the scrubber
Hello,
We usually use ZEP DEGREASER or NEUTRAL CLEANER
Hope that helps and thanks for commenting!
Just use downy lol
@@dustywagon298 😂
How much did you charge for this floor?
I believe this job was $5,000 or .25 per square foot. This customer gets a great deal because of the volume we do for them. I hope that helps.

@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855 I work for cleaning. We strip wax now and then. He pays me $200 cash . His equipment. And another guy. Some aztec equipment items are great! There's some new insane floor equipment out there man
@@antoniocognato5023 yes Aztec makes great equipment. We have a propane stripper and a scrubber by them. Awesome keep up the good work
How do you price your floors
@@theguy9643 Hello and sorry for the late response. It depends on the size. Usually on projects under 3k square feet it's around $1 a square foot and projects that are 20k and up can be as low as $0.35
Hope that helps and please feel free to ask any questions.
Great 🙂
Thank you 👍🏾

Its possible it may take you a little longer being classrooms and not open space. But with a system in place you never know. Good luck with your job 👍🏾!
@@s.n.m.cleaningservice3855 thanks! I’ll be asking more questions because I have a janitorial company and I want to get more into larger floor jobs. I might pop up on some of your older videos with some questions.

We use a Stick Scrapper and painters scrapper
How long did this Job take?
About 14 hours (2 over nights) with 3 techs. Or 42 man hours.

We have to take into account how powerful the stripper is that it will not be that in the 15 min he softens the glue of the Vinyl center tiles
Oh yes. It loosen up in 15mins
How much did u charge per square feet sir?
$.50 to $1 a SQFT on strip and wax

Usually it's $.50-$1 per sqft. But for our corporate accounts it's as low as $.25 because we do over 2 Million sqft a year just for them.
