Great job your truly a bad man I was a-floor tech I can not walk now I am in a wheelchair so May Jesus bless you and all you do I love you to life in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏾
Hey R Hunt, that was a nice encouragement, so sorry to hear that you are confined to a wheelchair, but God is still using you brother, so you stay encouraged In Christ, and may the Lord continue to bless you as you bless others In Christ. btw, I agree he is a bad dude.
You got to appreciate this brother. He does his work with passion. I work at a nursing home that has 4 floors as a cna & our facility needs this done desperately. I’m a black man & sometimes I would clean patients rooms but there just isn’t enough time. 👑
My respect for you doing all the steps by yo self, being a floor tech is pretty fun I have experience in it, shiit I learned from my pops, so its something that ill always get the hang of.
Depending on what time of day u working being a floor tech is coo. I'm a floor tech at a hospital over night so nobody gets in my way of doing most jobs lol I prefer to work alone only because most cats like to take shortcuts and half ass smh if you're going through the trouble of stripping and waxing do the job right
I'd give you a run for your money. But seriously,. One floor man to another. Your work is beyond reproach, brother. I hope you are well and staying busy.
Good job. I do the same work, stripping can be tricky. On the second scrub I would have flipped the pad. Also I dont leave the machine upright I lay it with the pad drive up, by having on the floor with the stripper this will leave a ring from the stripper pad. We are doing 2 coats of sealer and 3 to 5 coats of wax.
@@chunk144 I'd like to talk with you about the job over the phone if that's possible. You seem very knowledgeable and I have a couple questions on Marmoleum. Can you send me your email address?
Mad respect for floor techs, I had to do a small section of vct tile where I work at, it’s hard work especially if you’re not quite sure what you’re doing. Did my best but certainly didn’t take take that many steps.
I have a couple tips for you, but not as an insult. I love your confidence and that you care about your quality. One, use frog tape. (Green) It seals when it gets wet, unlike blue. Two, you probably already knew this, but you didn't take it down to chalk, there was still wax on it. Three, a couple coats of a good sealer will not only protect the floor, but deepen the overall shine. Someone already mentioned the flat mop, but for those who want to use a typical mop head, use rayon mop heads only. They don't shed lint as do cotton mop heads. Four, come back in 48 hours, clean, burnish, sweep, and mop extremely well, then lay down 3 or 4 more coats. Not only will it greatly increase the durability, but the shine as well. If you do those things, that shit will need less maintenance and look wet! You can even burnish, etc. more than once during the process and it will be even better
Ooook where should I start.... 1. I didn't take it down to the "chalk" because I work at a hospital that doesn't supply all the necessary equipment and its only a 8 hour shift. 2. I have used the frog tape and its really no different if you know how to wax over the tape. 3. You're right a nylon mop aka wax mop is better than a string mop. Micro fiber mops are best. And last I didn't make this video necessarily for tutorial purposes but more for editing purposes.
@@WatchMeWorkEntertainment Ok. I was just trying to be nice, for one. Number two, It would be better to come back another night and add more wax then to leave old wax on the floor. Number 3, maybe you shouldn't refer to yourself as the best floortech if you don't do the job correctly or you can't finish in the allotted time. As for not having what you need, are you using stripper or hot water? If you have stripper than you have no excuses. As I said, I was just trying to be nice and helpfull. I personally love to learn new things, even when I believe I know a ton about a subject and that's why I was watching. I'm sorry you seem to be sensitive about your claim to be tge best floortech. Personally, I thought you were average as far as the work performance.
@@MCA2A I'm gonna be real with you. Not disrespecting - just calling it as I see it. You seemed to be the one who got a bit too sensitive and took his response the wrong way, because nowhere in his reply did I see him biting back on your "niceness," especially when he even agreed with one of your points... Resulting in trying to tear down the man's quality of work to "average" over him simply not conforming to your methods is a bit harsh, dude. Yeah, he didn't take it all the way down to the bare tile and could've laid a couple more coats, but the floor still came out WAY better than what I've seen on average. A lot of hospital techs don't detail nearly as well as he did either. As a hospital worker myself, it is a known fact management does not care about ordering optimal equipment and supplies for their techs. Hospital techs have to improvise A LOT to accommodate for poor-quality products. I thought it used to just be hospitals in my state, but it turns out that's commonplace in general... If you don't have the right pad for the job or a good brush (which I don't think this guy did, which may have been one of the necessities he claimed to lack) or quality stripper, you'll have one hell of a time getting all that old wax up... an 8 hour shift won't cut it, especially since hospital floor techs usually have to multitask these days with more than one project, or management insisting you strip a larger area at once all by yourself. I'm assuming he couldn't make overtime either, so that's another factor. You've gotta be more considerate of someone's circumstances because you're not really there and wouldn't know the working conditions. If the guy really didn't have quality products to work with, he did a damn good job with what he had.
@@MagnusZero I'm not going to lie. I didn't really take the time to read that book you left..just skimmed a couple things. You mightcbe right, I might have misunderstood what he said. If I did, I am sorry. I wasn't sensitive, just calling it as I saw it at the time. I have been a manager and just a worker and let me tell you, I do care about getting the right stuff. Also, my point wasn't that he didn't have the right stuff in general, it was he wasn't using the chemical properly. Look in the instructions for stripper and it will tell you to let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. (depending on the stripper) You don't jist put stripper down and then agitate it, you let it do it's job and it comes right up easily. That was basically a top scrub and nothing more. Now, you might be ok with only top scrubbing when it is time for a full strip and refinish, but I refuse to cut corners and that's the difference between average and great. To top it all off, he did claim to be the best floortech, did he not? I've done a lot of old shitty floors with all sorts of chemicals and still get the wax off the floor. I understand some people don't care or haven't learned the propper ways of doing it, but it can be done.
Some similarities to my custodial work, but swinging back and forth is not the way I was taught. Lay stripper wait 15-20 minutes to allow wax to loosen, then when stripping as I pass back and forth I move machine in a circular motion to remove wax properly. Swinging back and forth doesn`t remove old wax correctly
And damn, I miss my advance squeegee vac, it had incredible water pickup power. But I do well with my Nobles Typhoon ever since I crammed a 3 stage motor in it.
@@WatchMeWorkEntertainment I'm about to look into a square scrub machine soon. They look slick for stripping, and would definitely save some time. We all know it's a long process so if it can be cut down it's amazing lol
Yeah u can use a auto scrubber. But I would only use it after a rinse scrub. If you use the auto scrubber during the stripping process you run the risk of the stripper drying inside the hoes and damaging the scrubber.
what's your dwell time on your stripper ...? I have a floor at the school i work at that has a bad build up of old wax that has turned yellow and it won't come out.
Time for a bad review/comment. I do floor care at my local hospital. Doing it this way would get you fired. The process is far too long. Use a Autoscrubber instead of the Side By and the Extraction Wet/Vac. Also NEVER walk in stripper. You didn't use nearly enough wax, especially for a high traffic area. I can also tell your fan for drying was on during the whole time you were waxing, rookie mistake.
Ok where should I start?? First your assessment is TRASH!! If I would get fired at your hospital for STRIPPING a floor with an auto scrubber I would be happy to leave. You can walk in stripper ONCE u have gone over it which is what I did. And there is NO ROOKIE mistake. I used the blowers while I was waxing to get it to dry quicker. IT TAKES SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO WAX WHILE IT'S DRYING which you obviously don't have. Thank you sir have a nice day!
@@WatchMeWorkEntertainment you misread my comment sir. What I said was you'd get fired here for taking that long in such a small area. You mentioned it took you a little less than 8 hours to wax the section in your video. Second, the reason I mentioned the fans being on during waxing is due to the fans blowing dust/hair/debris into the fresh, wet wax. You sir are the one who needs more/better training.
I seen you left the blue tape on at the end before you finished you last coat of wax. Doesn’t that leave a stripping residue or a line after wards from the tape? And if so how do you get it out ? Sorry having that issue every time I strip or scrub to the next section, drives me crazy. Any advice would be great thank you
You have to make sure that your tape is lined up the floor seams. Also use painters tap. You don't have to push the tape completely to the floor. And if that still does not work try using a little piece of a red or green pad depending on how well the tape residue is showing and lightly scrub and buff it back with a tan pad.
Thank you very much. Been a struggle with these dang lines. Just frustrating, ima have to try this out. One last question have you used an auto scrubber to scrub and re coat on UNEVEN flooring?
This man is doing everything the right way. I’m a master flooring technician and this is great

definitely looks real good recently an oldhead told me 3 thin coats makes it shine like a diamond
so i tried it and it was facts
What y'all use for the shine is it glance?
Yup 3 coats will look good but if it is a high foot traffic area it will not last long. In a high traffic area you will want to use about 6 coats.

You would be surprised
He don't scrub the edges either. Scraping is not good enough

So satisfying to watch lol

It took a little less than 8hrs
That is the only way I will wax a floor micomop

Do you do terrazzo flooring?
Also the floor doesn`t need a second stripping
It does
Sometimes it does
When you rise what you have In it ?
Maybe a bad man but them edges look like an amputated foot
