Best stuff of 2013

[Steamin McFadden]

What is the best equipment you bought this year? and or the best pre spray (or other chemical) you tried this year??

For me,,
equipment:

it would be the rotovac 360i, the first trashed job I did with it I almost shed a tear of joy.

Best pre spray this year:

would have to be Powermax, I experimented with several others, strayed back and forth to a few different products. But all in all I like Powermax . The stuff just never Never disappoints.

Best Chemical find:
A tie between ,Pool supply peroxide, (cheap as heck and can pick it up local). And sunshine deodorizer.

The worst??? Steamin Demon, It cleans great and EZ set up for high rise work, but what a PITA to operate, and slow as heck. My low back still hurts from the 3 apartments I did with it 6 months ago, lol

Would love to hear from you guys, thought this topic might be fun.

Duk guards, MB (PMF)Hand tool and me and Bill realizing we aren't that much different and repairing a broken relationship. It is to early to tell but I'm going to go out on a limb and say then new revolution Dehu is going to prove to be a huge hit.

Sold more than I bought... That said, I'm just glad to still have a house for my wife and kids.

Magic Potion Neutral

That was an excellent new product, the "Mikey Juice", that Magic Wand made up at Mike's request. A neutral pH (well they say either 8.6 or 9.3, I need to do a pH check for myself) wool safe, upholstery safe, POWDER, that is extremely concentrated. The 2# sample Mike sent me did a LOT of furniture, oriental rugs, and some expensive wool carpeted rooms this summer. It's a good product to have on the truck. I need to order more and do more testing. It's very different from anything I have ever used, it can be a prespray or a rinse, and doesn't have the slippery feel of a normal detergent, more like plain water. Obviously it is safe and effective on normal synthetic carpet and fabrics.

Moved up from iPhone 4

Was very happy with the Apple, but didn't see enough innovation coming (or maybe it was the small screen).

 

[Askal]

I have not been on here much the last 2 months so for equipment it is our 3rd Judson. Love it.
Other than that it would have to be the December freeze in the northwest. 49 water damage jobs in about 3 weeks. We will be doing reconstruction for the next 2 months plus a big 300K structure fire in November that will keep us busy till the end of June. A hell of a year. I'm a lucky bastard.

He told me specifically that he would be crediting your account.

Dave, how and what do you use the orbiters for?

My 2cents. Those orbitals are great for encapping/ scrubbing stairs and are small and light weight, making them perfect for doing encap demos for commercial bids.

 

[ruff]

I assumed they would be for high traffic area scrubbing, if one wants to avoid dragging in a heavy floor machine.

 

[davegillfishing]

Nope they are mainly for the. 1100 steps of cgd we have to do once a month. Hwe not a option

They do a awesome job. Cimex pads and releasit ds2 sprayed down

Also using them with the brush to agitate small areas of carpet as needed

Really good tool 399$ each
Pad driver and carpet brushes included
