Title: FAO Kevin

Kevin,
Is there any type of 'sample' Aqua mix pack, or similar?

At the moment, hard floors are not something I really promote - so I don't keep much in the way of chemical stock or equipment. I've just done a carpet in a pub, and he also wants me to do the entrance area which is about 1.5m x 1.5m of Victorian tiles. I haven't tried any of the AM stuff previously, but I'm semi-tempted to start pushing this service more - but need to build up some confidence before going all out. I have done the tiles elsewhere previously, but I think (I know!) I made it much harder work than it should've been.

To do an area of this size won't cost a lot in chem's and well worth it to get the experience.

If you know the job is yours then buy whatever Kev recommends and give it a go.

I had a similar job a while ago and as always Kev was very helpful throughout.

One tip from me, be mindful of the slurry and protect everything around the area being worked on. You'll be surprised how high and far the spray-off goes.

Here is the link to an article that I placed on the CIU some time ago regarding these floors:

http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=155206.msg1284257#msg1284257

To be honest we don't do a sample pack but you are talking under £20 for the kit to do that floor and you will probably have enough left over to do another 10 of them the same size.

Give me a ring if you want me to talk you through it.
