or..
Im not sure how to discribe this situation of a carpet cleaner who (must?) be suffering from a lack of work, who thought it would be a good idea to strip a Saltillo floor for an elderly lady who called to complain that she was slipping when coming out of her shower.
Rather than suggesting an are rug or matt, he went to You Tube and watched THIS of all video and thought he could do the same.

BEFORE (a perfectly fine Saltillo)

THIS being using soy strippers, a 5in1 in one scraper and acetone...
NO rinsing with a truckmount or shop vac.
He tried a wood floor machine like "Courtney Lee uses" to rinse but the squeegee couldnt deal with the groutlines and uneven man made tile.
I know this guy and really wish he would have called me insted of going straight to You Tube.
I got a bunch of infrom him and determined his ability to attempt a fix, but sadly, there isnt wiht his skill and equipment.
I told him to stop and find a pro to fix it.
Which will probably take a FULL and proper stripping of the entire floor, which will efffect the walls and woodwork, and cost a small fortune.
So, the point being, when will our industry step up it's game and offer a real indepth educational pathway to success?![387324105_1082542989780504_3582394516230872631_n.jpg 387324105_1082542989780504_3582394516230872631_n.jpg](https://mikeysboard.com/data/attachments/125/125331-5b3ebebd36ee97b9ac5273ade9f7869a.jpg)
