I must say, I know I shouldn’t be blown away by your professionalism because that should be the norm. But you guys are so courteous to customers, polite, respectful. You never know someone’s situation or why their floors are the way they are, there’s never any judgment. I find that extremely endearing as it’s such a stark contrast from smaller companies and the big name companies. That’s why I will forever support a small business before a big brand. 💜
Cookie exactly! Dad to the rescue and the consummate professional. He ran the high-speed so his guys could clear their head a bit. Leading by example. Way to go dad. What I love most about these videos is all of the attention to the details. Thank you Miles for putting this up!
@@Jeh110 Yes! Most definitely, I couldn’t imagine the frustration having to get that wax up. But the homeowner likely didn’t realize what she was doing was the incorrect way and they didn’t make her feel bad for it. Although she probably realized she messed up when they had to call in the big guns 😂
That wax was peeling like a sunburned shoulder in the summer. Even after watching, I have no idea how you managed to fix that. Hats off for your persistence!
at first I was like, "why the hell am i watching people clean?" then by the end, "very cool family buisness, nice to see an indepth look at somthing most dont think much about." very professional work you are doing, thanks for sharing it with people. wish you much success!
yeah they're very engaging. Professional, but it's also clear they have a good time at work. And they know a looot about cleaning, right down to the chemistry.
FIRST OFF: I loved the little edit where it jumped out of the live video to a video of you watching the footage on the device, and then jumped back into the footage after your information about the job. Your video/editing is really improving and becoming a skill in it's own right. I've always had a thought that it would be cool to see more stuff like this from you. An example may be something like this where you pause it and jump out of the video to give us a scientific breakdown of the process and your decisions, like what the chemical is doing and how it does it's job and why you may use that vs something else. Heck even jump into a faux classroom or something wearing a lab coat and break it down for us on a white board. I think that'd be a great way to take your videos to another level and set you apart from other cleaning channels or relaxing content. Here's to hoping we see Professor Myles I'm some future videos.
Aight, a transition like that deserves to be recognized. From the tile clean part one to the background information and back to tile part two. That definitely takes some creativity and planning and it didn’t go unnoticed
You can now technically put "worked on a movie set" on your work experience. Love how Ethan is becoming more comfortable on camera and letting his personality shine through in recent videos too. It's not too long ago that he seemed so shy, nervous and quiet.
I used to be a commercial janitor for grocery stores around the time polished concrete became popular. We took over a contract for a store where for four years they kept resealing and waxing the floor instead of stripping it. Long story short, a crew of 8 spent a month of overnights and when the store was finished it went from slate grey to an off-white. At the worst stage of stripping we had three swingarm scrubbers with black pads, and each machine had a full bucket of water weighing it down while a fourth person sprayed a hose in front of them. When that wasn't cutting through, we slapped on several 5" diamond polishing pads around the scrubbing discs.
I love it that no matter how difficult the job, you stayed there and saw it through to your own high standards. I do so wish everyone was like you guys🐝🤗❤️
Way to stick with it. During my Navy and Coast Guard days the most wax we ever applied before stripping and starting over is 2 coats. 4 years is a lot of wax. I feel your pain.
Re the tile floor: Block her number so she doesn't call you again four years from now - unless she agreed to stop using wax. Thanks for posting even though you didn't want to. It's great even without the ending. 😊
There is something mesmerizing about watching this guys videos. It is kinda relaxing. I don't know why, it just has a calming effect on me. Also, love to watch people who are experts in their craft. This is one hard working young man. I'm sure his dad has instilled in him that ethic of hard work and great customer service. Hopefully if or when the time comes for him to teach his kids, I hope the next generation are just as focused on a good days work. Keep up the good work man and the great content.
Man, I felt sorry for you guys from a personal and a business perspective. Doing the job 3 times over because you wanna finish the job and get the needed result, but also taking a financial hit for being there way longer than anticipated and having to call Dadvanced for the equipment :D Glad you guys got it done.
I pretty much appreciate anyone who works hard these days :) It’s good to see people enjoying their job even when it doesn’t go their way. The bloopers were great. 😂
I always enjoy the videos, but seeing the troubles you overcome is nice. I loved the sly pan to the barking dog and the cut-aways to the edit/narration segments! All the extra effort shows in the jobs and the videos.
I had to do a job like this for a much larger area and let me tell you it was a major hassle. What we ending up doing was pre treating the area then letting it sit until the wax came up. Then we got on our hands and knees and used razor box cutters to scrape the wax off by hand. It worked really well, but it took forever to complete.
@@rdizzy1 not a pro floor cleaner but my 2 cents would be because even if a floor looks and feels perfectly level, it's not. The bigger the scraper the more likely you'll find out how many dips and rises are in the floor by gouging the corners of the scraper into the floor and doing more serious damage. Or the floor could have been textured with a faux stone finish which would make a bigger scraper basically useless. Also you would have to apply more pressure to get the same scraping effect and not just skitter across the surface which likely would be (even more) tiresome rather than tedious on what is already an unforgiving job (speaking from when I volunteered with a group for refinishing a floor and laying down commercial floor tile for community service one time).
Years ago my old boss and I had to strip the terrazzo hallways of a school completely bare. 40 years worth of old wax that had never gotten completely stripped off, my boss had to use acid strips to make sure each section was finished. Damn near killed us.
Good for you man, I respect your hustle. I work for my dad too and I know how it can be sometimes. I see you're bringing the business into the 21st century with this content. Love to see it.
Your work ethic is phenomenal, your business character is very high standing as well and I just want to say I hope your parents know how blessed and proud they can be to raise such an outstanding son with that kind of character and work ethic because it seems so rare today!
The fact that you felt that job went south but you posted anyway, shows me that you’re human and your character. I have mad respect for you for that! I just found your channel. You guys are amazing!
Excellent video, the transition from the cleaning to you talking and explaining was amazing. You have a great voice and explain things very well. Keep up the videos!
That wasn't wax, it was polyurethane. I had to remove that exact stuff at my fathers house, he bought the poly shine stuff at a janitorial supply company. A 4x10 porch took me 2 days with a steamer to soften and a putty knife. Absolute nightmare. I told him he was on his own with the kitchen floor.
It’s wax. I’ve seen it at the grocery store I used to manage. We did a thorough clean of the floors because of the wax build up. Took a week of overnights. But I’m sure both are essentially the same nightmare. Bless you for your patience because I definitely didn’t have it 😂
Just like at my work at the schools we strip and wax every year it’s very messy and time consuming but it’s good if you want to keep your floors from ruining
I know it was a long and tough day, but you never gave up on getting that wax off. Some companies would have quit after the first try. Great job! And that first job her rug was gorgeous. 😀❤🙏
I feel this.... I took over as a cleaning supervisor at a retail store. The "wood" floors were waxed SO thick with dirty wax. The floors were smooth... even though the "wood" had a texture. They waxed down dust and under fixtures no one was ever walking on... The very light brown of the floor was gray... Should never have to strip those floors. My first task as the supervisor was to fix the floors. Never done anything like floors or waxing in my life. Had to strip all these wood floors 3 times. So much scraping and scrubbing around the edges. And then trying to clean the wax up while it's still wet so it doesn't clump up and try on anything. What a mess... They were so pretty afterward though :D
"Fun! Fun! Fun! Funny!" My daughter says. We really enjoyed this video. Really made us sad that you had that much trouble with the tiles. Lucky you guys are The Clean Team! Great jobs guys!!!
Hahaha, we've all encountered those jobs. Have to admit, when I saw you guys hitting the tiles with the CRB I instantly thought "yeah, that won't cut through". Not sure what you call it in the US, but here in Australia I would've hit that floor with a soft tynex brush on the single disc. Not sure why anyone is putting top coat on that type of tile anyway, lol. Love the vids mate (and your solid work too)! 👌👌
You guys are just crisp. Great work! Super professional and obvious pride in your work! I'm certain that when you dad got your call, he knew you were in deep. Tons of respect for family run businesses.
I hope you told the customer not to use that wax again, or find another cleaner! 🤣 In all honesty, that was super well done by you, Ethan, & your dad. It would've been nice to see the end result but knowing you were satisfied with how it turned out is good enough. The smiles that you & Ethan bring to each job site is worth calling you out to clean. Thanks, Miles.
only been following you for a bit, but wanted to say I never saw a video like this (props to ya) that shows many different types of jobs in one PLUS the different job completion with all that wax on the floor. Huge props to your content - keep it going!
I love watching your videos. I have shared your channel with friends and family. Some think I crazy because I like watching your cleaning videos. I am so impressed with you. The pride you take in your work and the throughness in which you handle every job. I know your parents are very proud of you. I even watch you video with my 13 year old grandson and brag on you to him. He loves watching you. Fingers crossed you might be influencing the really young viewers. I even watched this episode with my 22 year old grandson, his girlfriend, my 16 year old niece and her mom. We were just a little sad because we didn’t get to see the end result of the tile. Thank you for all your hard work and making the videos. If my home had not got hit by a tornado in March, I had some rugs that needed your care. But sadly they are gone now.
When the machine pulled back and I saw white I audibly said, " UhOh! ". So glad you have your dad there when you need him! Great video and the bloopers, as always, didn't disappoint!
I'm not only impressed by your guy's professionalism and work ethic, but also just your physical strength. My arm strength is pretty nil, but the strength you have to have to operate equiptment like that all day must be incredible.
You totally fought through that Wax. You all get the first prize on removing wax. I know how it feels to remove wax cos at my work we have wax on the floor over some speckle patterns. Every now and then we have to remove the wax with an aggressive brush pads on the floor machines we use. Then we put a fresh layer of wax on.
love the attention to detail! For the wax floor job im sure theres a lot of big named companies who probably would've just ignored the wax under the cabinets and refrigerator
I don't know how I wound up on your channel. But I was so positively impressed by you and your professionalism that I subscribed. I hope to see more of you.
So I just came across this channel last night. Y'all's professionalism, courteousness, and expertise is amazing. Nothing more satisfying than seeing dirty things get cleaned
My favorite chore as a kid was to vacuum. We had a drum vacuum that sat to the side and you used a massive hose with all different kinds of attachments. I've completely forgotten the name of that thing. Anyhow, I would love listening to the dirt and stuff getting sucked up through the hose. It was my version of 1996 ASMR 😂
They actually still make canister vacs! I have one and love it too. Its outlasted 2 of the vacuums my sister has purchased, and it's still running strong.
@@angiriberdy5094 man yeah! That one lasted through from the year I was born until the end of my first marriage 😂 it gave up the ghost and I sold it to a local vacuum guy who loves restoring antique vacs. I honestly wouldn't doubt that it's still going 😂
Wow! Great work guys! Even though your camera battery went out as you were finishing up the tile job THANK YOU for still uploading this! You were right in thinking to show us all that wax on the tile cuz MAAAAAN that was CAAAARAAAAZZY! Ya'll definitely had a long day and LOVED the bloopers, 😂😆😂😆!!! Keep up the HARD WORK and professionalism you guys always put in, 💪😤!
Just found these videos and I have to say they are amazing. I’m wondering if they make a clear piece so you can see all the dirty water get sucked up by your machines.
I know what a floor like that is like. Had my own nightmare job a few years ago. So glad you got the bigger machine to work the magic in removing the wax buildup
You deserve a good rest! You guys work really hard for the price you charge, I'd choose you over other companies in a heartbeat... if I lived in the US of course. Keep smiling! 😍👏👏
I have no idea why one would wax floor tiles. I only use hot water and the tiniest amount of floor cleaner. But really, hot water and a good mop are enough.
I've got nothing to do with tiles professionally, but tiles are super popular where I'm from (Eastern Europe)... I've never even heard that it was a possibility to wax tiles😭
It is not logical todo it too. Wooden floors were waxed to protect the wood and to prevent it from soaking up spilled fluid I guess. But tiles are very very hard and don’t soak like wood. No idea why you would do that
I thought this- the point of tile is it's waterproof, you wax wood floors because they are porous? Also doesn't it make the tile really slippery and unsafe?
I absolutely despise tile. The grout always gets filthy, it’s cold, and the tile actually have almost little divets. I would love to remove all the tile that we have in our home. Ideally I would love to go with cork flooring in the bathrooms & something easier for the kitchen & laundry room. You guys do phenomenal work and I would use you in a heartbeat if I still lived in Georgia
I have sealed and resealed grout. It never works. I had very well house trained dogs but the older they got (or were sick), they made a few messes. No matter what I cleaned that grout with, it still smelled of urine (my husband calls me bloodhound bc I have a super sniffer and can smell even the slightest dribble of dog/cat pee). No more tile!!!!
Miss M Yes indeed. We use LVP luxury final plank. It looks like hardwood floors, but it's water safe. It's warmer, insanely easy to clean, and best of all... no grout.
Hi! I'm new to the channel. My daughter and I have really been enjoying your videos! Very fascinating for my daughter and very relaxing for me. What great workers this company has!
I don't know how I stumbled upon this video, but its about something I know nothing about and my mind loves learning new things. Thank you for the education.
I am now inspired to get this done, especially before people start visiting again... it's been a LONG TIME... and I just hope I am able to hire a business even half as nice and professional as this business.
In the event you slide like you're about to go down again, just start singing "Swing Low" like my sister and I do when we claim we almost die 🤣 we're getting too old to be falling anymore 🤣🤣
They want it shiny at all costs. Even if applying the product is not appropriate or recommended. Eventually, it will start to look dull and dirty after multiple applications. And that is where the expensive and arduous floor stripping nightmare begins. For the customer, if they decide to DIY and rent a floor scrubber, 3M Hi-Pro black pad or brush, a doodle + pad, a floor scraper blade tool, splash guard, wet vac, and learn the machine on a curve right along with the intricacies of applying and managing stripper while you do the work, getting up the slurry, neutralizing, and mopping things clean. And even more pain if they choose a cheap price company over an experienced professional who is going to take everything down to the bare tile and charge appropriately for their time. It is awesome if you only have to strip once with a quality stripper. Oftentimes, you may have to give it another go or 2 or have to start getting creative with weights, etc. Stripping floors is hard / physical work and many non-pro people don't get that at all. If stripper gets on other flooring, carpet, splashes your walls...good luck.
I love watching your videos!! You just said Cartersville and I thought, NO WAY! They cant possibly be that close to me. We are shopping for a house and I cant wait to schedule yall! Keep up the hard work guys!
For anyone who may know, where does all this wax come from? Is this a way to protect tile flooring? And are they removing this because after years, it starts to peel off? Just curious. Seen you fellas do this a few times, and always wondered what’s the deal with this wax.
From relatives being managers of supermarkets I know those tiled floors get a mixture of stuff on them to strip the old wax off and of course the dirt. Then cleaned off, then more wax slipped on, left to dry again. Sometimes buffed up sometimes not. I wouldn’t have thought it was safe to put wax on a kitchen floor. But I don’t know of course
We bought a house and when we closed, the pervious owners had hired a cleaning service and they had the tile waxed.... but in a very sloppy way so there were blotches all over the place and they didn't even move the furniture so there were big spots with nothing. I had to pay to get the floor stripped, it was ridiculous honestly.
Definitely loved to see the tile cleaning! Honestly when things go wrong it makes for better content. I appreciate seeing how you all handle tough situations!
I've been watching your videos for some time now, and I always enjoy them! I appreciate all the hard work you do and the great outcomes you have. I have a question for you, if you don't mind. I have area rugs on wood floors--no mats. I used to clean the rugs with an anti-allergen powder that got a mist of water and dwelt about 30 mins. Then, I scrubbed with a brush, let them dry and vacuumed. It cleaned the rugs and didn't get any water on the wood. I'm old and disabled now. I can't scrub those rugs anymore. I also can't roll them up to be picked up. I don't know how to get these rugs cleaned and I'm worried about getting water on the wood floors. What's your best solution for me to get these rugs cleaned? Sure do wish I lived closer to where you are! Thanks a lot for your consideration.
