Doing a chemical free floor stripping. Also reapplying wax to floors as well using the bucket system. Here is a link to another vid I did using the square scrubber. • Vct Training stripping... . Also here is a link to my facebook group. search/top?q... I have been a custodian for over 20 years. The purpose of this channel is to share some of my knowledge with you. I remember the feeling when I first became a custodian. I was given a set of keys, a radio and a badge. Didn't get any training whatsoever. Being a custodian is not rocket scientist knowledge. There are definitely things that a custodian needs to know. I call it the art of the trade. Tips and tricks that can make the job much easier and enjoyable. Find me at @mrjeffthecustodian

Nice! Real nice! I’m working with an old crew that only believes in wet removal of wax, using stripper and mopping up the stuff. Along with using a wet vacuum. Lots of work as you know. I have asked them to try the square scrub method… no way they said. 🫤 honestly I would love to try it. I think it would be much better.

@EivinSukoi 5 ай бұрын

Two things I noticed , one you are using what looks like a cotton mop head that will leave cotton fuzz in wax , and two poor rinsed out floors with visible mop steaks and debris before laying your wax . For personal experience after stripping floors and letting dry , I vacuum the entire floor with a back pack vacuum making sure that nothing is on the them before applying wax .

How many square feet can you do per hour scrubbing with the square machine and following up with the auto scrubber?

@mrjeffthecustodian 3 жыл бұрын

Around 2000 if it’s class rooms even more on open halls. Take in factor that some people don’t move as fast as others. I really have to slow myself down with square. I can get in the grove and be to fast for it to remove wax like it should.

Floors look great but one issue...why did you wax the baseboards? Are you stripping the baseboards as well? Going into my 34th year...

@mrjeffthecustodian 4 жыл бұрын

The machine I use takes the wax off the base boards. I don’t wax base boards all the way up. Just the part next to the floor. Nothing more ugly than yellowed base boards.

@bobbyfallis2897 Жыл бұрын

Dumb question, what do you mean by taking 3 coats off and 3 coats on. Is that running the square machine three times and then mopping three coats on? Sorry new to this.

@mrjeffthecustodian Жыл бұрын

No dumb questions here. The square will take anywhere from 2 or 3 coats of wax off in one pass. Then apply 3 fresh coats of wax.

I used a 3m maroon pad on the square. When. I wet strip I use black or a scrub brush. On r slow speed round machine.
