I was vacuuming my floor at home today, using a power-brush type of
upright vacuum. I remarked to myself that it works very well.

In my warehouse, I would like the same thing, except I would prefer
something bigger, with rougher brushes, and something that would not
need bags. A shop-vac is nice, but lacks a scrubbing option.

I am sure that such things exist, can someone recommend something?

thanks

Ig, I don't know how large you need it to be, but I'll bet Tom Gardner can
sell you a brush that suits to fit an old upright Eureka or Hoover.

We used to make brushes for Kirby but China got all that business, now
we do some stuff for Tennant.

"The Kid" works for Tennant. We bought a broken 24 volt floor scrubber
at auction for $200. He got parts at cost and made it like brand new
for another $200. The unit sells for $5600. We use it to scrub 2500
sq.ft. of the packing shed twice a week. Only takes a few minutes and
the concrete is clean enough to eat off of.

We had an oil spill, threw on floor dry, swept it up 15 minutes later,
then run the scrubber over it. No sign of spill.

Iggy, I KNOW you can find a used Tennant cheap. Now all you need to do
is bribe the kid with something you have and you're all set.

Coincidentally, I have been looking for a new vacuum cleaner myself. So
I've been checking into them. From what I've seen most of them are now
all made of plastic and I don't like that. They seem to be cheaply made
junk, even the 500 dollar Dysons.

I did run across a company that makes commercial vacuums and they look
pretty good. I may be getting one of them myself. The name of the
company is called Sanitaire and they are owned by Electrolux, I believe.
Anyway, I was looking at them and they look like they make quality
machines. I'd take a look at them.

Bingo, you beat me to it. They have several sizes between walk-behind
and ride-on versions, and they have a fresh water tank to spread wash
water - with soap if you want it - a few scrub brushes to knock off
the worst of the gunk, and a wet-vac that slurps it all up and dumps
it in a waste-water tank.

Ride it around the building once with soap in it, then dump at a
convenient floor sink or sewer cleanout hole. Then go around a second
time with no soap, Squeeky Clean Floors.

Then get out the big Rotary Buffer and fill a garden sprayer with
industrial floor finish (specially formulated for shoe traction),
spray it on and buff it out, and you'll have shop floors so nice your
Momma will be proud.

Johnson Wax makes several varieties for all surfaces, including raw
concrete. And you get certified paperwork for the insurance company
about it's anti-slip properties. Referrals are available, I know one
of their Field Reps...

(This would be good for Tawm with all the Hourlies trolling around for
a good Workers Comp slip-and-fall claim - would probably pay him back
for the effort to get and keep the office & factory floors all buffed
up with lower insurance rates.)

Of course, it's going to work a whole lot better if you get the shop
floor all cleared out and have it professionally ground flat first -
any Terazzo and Stone company will have the big floor grinders and
buffers with a diamond cutters, levels it out real nice. (And all the
patched spots become much less obvious.)

BevMo does this to all their warehouse stores, and it looks good. Get
it ground flat and smooth, then keep it waxed.

Got me a nearly new, 5 gallon shop vac for $5 a couple months back; a
"TECO Master", it came it it's original box with the shipping label
from T. Eaton Co. Toronto to the former address of the chap I bought
it from. When I took it apart to change the filter, I noticed the date
stamp '12 Aug 1971'. I also noted that it uses a ball bearing motor.
Included in the box were the hose, 2 wands, crevice tool, adapter for
1 1/4" hose, a new pack of 5 paper filters and the original
instruction sheet. The only reason the chap was selling it was that he
wanted a vacuum that he could use to pick up water. In over thirty
years I have needed to pick up water three times!

Go down to the Salvation Army/Amvets. Buy yourself a vintage Electrolux
canister vac.
You might have to go back a few times to get all the attachments, but I've
never paid more than $20 for a complete setup.

They were made at a time when you expected to spend over 2 weeks pay to get
a vacuum cleaner that would last a lifetime. The only plastic parts are the
wheels and the handles, and a 50yr old one has a more life left in it than
any new vacuum.

Pretty much, Puppy gets the 1/2" guide while Second Son gets the 1/4".
He used to have a pony tail until he went under his truck on my new
creeper one day. This way when one of the presses at work blows a
line, it is much easier to clean up.


I've always heard that people start to look like their pets after a
while. ;-)
BTW, I use the 3/4" guide for my own facial hair and have been known
to persuade S S to go with the 1" on his winter growth.

BTW, I use the 3/4" guide for my own facial hair and have been known
to persuade S S to go with the 1" on his winter growth.


I gave up on shaving on a regular basis a few years ago. Maybe once
every other month, since it grows so slow these days. I had to shave
three times a day while in basic, to keep a despicable little drill
sergeant off my ass. That runt's face was as smooth as a baby's ass,
and he probably never had a hair grow on his face.

My beard is not heavy, but I haven't seen my chin for thirty years. I
do, however, shave my neck and lips three times a week.

At least you don't have to shave your teeth, like some unwashed
characters I've seen. ;-)

I'm not growing a beard, I just didn't shave. Okay, since
February. But I knew a guy like you, Bobby could come out of the
bathroom with five o'clock shadow. And if Jack didn't shave on
Friday, by Monday he'd have enough to qualify as a good start. In
high school, that's ... dang, annoying.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.

I literally grew a mustache in two weeks while in the Army. You were
allowed to have one, but they didn't want to see you grow one. I worked
odd shifts, and only stood Monday morning formation on rare occasions so
I would grow it and let them see it. Then I would shave it off and let
the CO see me. It drove my CO nuts!

Oddly enough..for most of my life, I could go a week or more without
shaving. After the bypass..I have to shave every day. The leetle buggers
grow really fast now!


One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
