Useful Tips and Tricks to Clean this Tile and Grout!

[@Spiritualtalk111]

Another important tip as a cleaner is, all the times you cleans floor with cleaner it can leave a film and over time the film builds up. I like to clean my floors with vinegar and water every now and then to reduce the film left behind by so many cleans. This video is so soothing ! Amazing machine and job!

[@MarkSaiger]

Thank you and thanks for your comment and tip. Another tip, if people reading this have a natural stone, you would want to avoid using the vinegar being it's pretty acidic and could etch natural soft stones. So those especially with soft stones should only use a nuetral cleaner and water. Thanks again for sharing this 😊

That was satisfying but the green tile was ummm interesting. 😆 on the other hand, the provided diapers on the changing table is a fantastic idea! Much love! ❤❤

Yeah the green is rather old school... And I'm just thankful they don't have to be supplying diapers for me 😉😅

No way did that wand just obliterate that dirt with one stroke 😮🧼😮 yea this was down with the nitty gritty - the results are immaculate Mark🩵 sorry taken a day or 2 to catch up properly but could watch this over and over! 😊 must be a great feeling after such a great cleaning session😅🫶🏽 carpets will always be my fav to clean but I’m getting on board massively with grout and tiling these days. This helps 😂😂 another great show by the Saiger Team 🩵 and those Bosses at the end are everything 🐶🫶🏽🐶

WOW! That Devastator wand is amazing. And the Vengeance. I'll be ordering some now! Can you tell me what PSI is required to run that wand? What PSI are you using in the vid? Also, can u run that off a low 200-220 portable heated extractor and still get good results?

[@MarkSaiger]

We were running 500 psi at the beginning of the video then when we moved to the women's bathroom I bumped it up to about 750 psi. I'm not sure how it would work at 200 psi but it should work. There are no check valves, just jets. With power psi I would scrub and agitate so rinsing would be more successful. It's a great wand though 😊

[@zcorbell]

Thankyou! I'll probably run it with a Q12 adjustable psi unit then. @@MarkSaiger

[@annw1395]

Nice! For tjose of us who aren't in the biz, can you explain (in the videos) what your machines and chemicals do, and why one might work better for a certain situation than another? Like, is this under steam pressure? What's the advantage of it over the round head turbo whatever?

[@MarkSaiger]

The first Chemical is our Saiger's Tsunami which is a high pH hard surface cleaner. Alkaline cleaners are pretty common cleaners being above nuetral 7 pH on the cleaning scale. The Tsunami helps to float and loosen the grease and grime off the surface and in the grout. The second cleaner was our Vengeance acid tile and grout restorer. What it does as it fizzes, is takes a small microscopic amount of grout off the surface to expose new fresh grout to take away staining. The other cleaning unit you have seen in other videos would be a turbo spinner hooked up to our Truckmount Steam Clean (Hot Water Extraction) or a very powerful portable. A turbo spinner needs at least 700 or more psi to spin it so it can clean. You can run higher psi but as you start to run above 1000 psi you can damage the grout while cleaning. By damage I mean you can blow weaker grout (even good grout actually) right out of the lines so you need to be careful. This Devastator hard surface wand is much gentler on the tile and grout but still has good cleaning power with the unique way the underside jets and vacuum slot are designed over other hard surface wands on the market. For us, we like using it in bathrooms a lot as it's easy to maneuver and get around things with it's ridgid swivel set up. Chemical and took choice is a personal thing a lot of times. We designed our chemistry to work well in a lot of situations as we use it daily, so we did and still do a lot of field testing. Time is money to us so we want chemistry to work. The tools we choose are the same to us. We are lucky to be able to pretty much buy what we want for equipment as again it makes our jobs easier so you will see, we have lot of tools, AND we prototype and help develop tools with friends. We are very thankful we have what we have. Please let me know if there are more questions or more details I can help answer. I know there might be something I'm missing and would really like to help explain more. Thanks for your wonderful question by the way 😊👍

[@annw1395]

@@MarkSaiger Wow, thx! Are your chemicals, zipper, etc available in other places in the US? I live in Phoenix. Would a carpet company here have a zipper? How would I know if I need a zipper vs a steam unit? I've seen you use both, but how do you know which you need? Do you have informational videos on your website?

[@MarkSaiger]

@@annw1395 our cleaning chemistry is available to all cleaners. There are possibly some cleaners using Saiger's Sauce Products in your area. A Zipper Wand by the way is more designed for commercial use. It's a bit more cumbersome in residential, but there are better Wands over a traditional 2 jet wand a lot of cleaners use. The Devastator wand like we use actually set a standard that other wand makers try to copy now. Tile and Grout cleaners in Chems and equipment can vary as well. If you let me know where you are located I might know some cleaners in your area. You can leave a message with my office and they will forward to me and I can even call you back. I will do my best to see if I have some people I might know that will be of help, 😊

Great job guys, really made a difference! Did you have the heat jacked up too? Next time i order from Jon Don ill have to try some Vengeance. I recently got some of your sealer which I've been using, as well as some p lime zyme and blue rinse.. I'm eager to try them.

[@MarkSaiger]

Thank you. We did have heat cranked up. And thank you for giving our product a try 😊❤️

[@GeneG-wk2mz]

Nice work where did you get your 4jet

[@MarkSaiger]

This is the newer Devastator hard surface wand. A different design as the jets are not in the vaccum slot so they will not get clogged or disturbed by the dirt and debris. You can find it at www.devastatorfilter.com 😊

[@lucasurso3066]

So upset I missed you at JonDon day!!!!!

[@MarkSaiger]

Hope to be back sometime 😊👍

[@natecram6230]

Vengeance seems like a peroxide based cleaner. Have you thought about applying it with a pump sprayer?

[@MarkSaiger]

It's actually an acid. The foaming look is the acid interaction with the grout. Acid grout restorers remove a microscopic amount of grout to expose new fresh grout. With an acid you can spray it in maybe a place such as this bathroom but it's really better and safer to pour and mop around to prevent damage to acid sensitive surfaces. Thank you for your comment though. Will help others as well I hope 😊. And we do spray peroxide solutions quite often to address that too. Great comment here today. Thank you

[@stephenlnoe]

how does that wand do in corners and up to the wall and kick/splash?

[@MarkSaiger]

Actually really good. Great detailing those edges

[@BUCKSHOTSTV]

Is there an advantage using this over the spinner tool?

[@MarkSaiger]

You will still want a spinner in your arsenal, but this hard surface wand is really easy to maneuver and does a great job of cleaning. We like how well it edges also. But there will be some places a spinner will still be needed probably. But we also wanted to show how you can clean with a hard surface wand also for those that do not have a way to run a spinner tool 😊

[@BUCKSHOTSTV]

@@MarkSaiger thanks for the reply! Trying to learn as much as I can. I’m in the process of starting up my business and sometimes it’s all so overwhelming

@@BUCKSHOTSTV I understand 😊. Reach out anytime though. Will do my best to try and help out 😁👍

[@tomcase2837]

I used to get after my guys for lifting the back of the carpet wand, always felt it looses a little suction when they do.

[@MarkSaiger]

As you see, in the case of a hard surface wand it can. On carpet it can be more forgiving actually due to more surface contact available on carpet

[@danielstuessi262]

Does a job like this require agitation before extraction?

[@MarkSaiger]

Agitation can definitely help, but there are many times our cleaning formula and a little dwell time is all that's needed

[@gailremp8389]

As a basic human, Can I use this in my area without that m@chine? Help!

[@MarkSaiger]

You would need that wand we are using on the floor hooked up to a cleaning and extraction machine unfortunately. Sometimes people will take our cleaning products and mop on the Tsunami, then scrub with a deck brush and grout brush you can even get at Home Depot or Lowes or similar then use a wet shop vac and follow up with clear water rinsing using the shop vac again and a microfiber flat mop. It's a bunch more work but it can be done

[@noeraldinkabam]

I’m always wondering why they don’t make the grout more even with the tile. When there’s less of a ‘dip’ tere’s less room for dirt to get stuck.

[@MarkSaiger]

It's all really because of the concrete it's set on and then how fast they skim coat the grout in with a trowel. But then it comes down to how they use a wet sponge and water to clean up the grout overage. Time is money to the installer so they are not very good sometimes cleaning and leveling. It is a bit difficult to be honest. We have seen some terrible grout haze on new installs which takes an acid or special grout Remover for some of the newer types of grout to get that haze removed. A good installer is hard to find truly

[@noeraldinkabam]

@@MarkSaiger Yeah, I’m just on the sideline wondering. Cleaning tiles and scrubbing groutlines, not my fave thing.

[@MarkSaiger]

​@@noeraldinkabamoh I understand that. We had one the other night we had to clean and scrub twice. Ugly mess behind a bar

[@toom8rs15]

No agitation? Curious - not criticism Demoing the power of chemistry? Certainly came clean

[@MarkSaiger]

Yeah no agitation. We wanted to show that it is possible to clean with lower pressure for those cleaners with smaller cleaning units and also no turbo available... And no agitation available. Agitation could maybe have sped up some cleaning but again was also experimenting for our knowledge too 😊

[@toom8rs15]

@@MarkSaiger Agitation is the key to improvement no matter what the application 😮

[@MarkSaiger]

@@toom8rs15 true but not everyone has agitation really in there bag of goodies, so I have to test products we make also without agitation to see how well it can work.

[@leedimatteo5078]

wonder how a spinner woulda worked out.

I'm sure we would have been using acid after an initial cleaning. Not sure if spinner would have been faster though in this place

Conway work great w edges w hydroforce or turbo leave the edges and can't get in cornea

[@shortstop155]

Are you rinsing with just water?

[@MarkSaiger]

In this video, we had our Saiger's Deep Blue All Purpose Rinse going. You can rinse with just water though...and you would want to not rinse with Deep Blue on some natural stones. It's a 4.7 pH with a little cleanability
