Dave and others
On the rare occasion I use air movers, they are left on site, in most cases, overnight, to suggest they leave an airmover in one room while they clean another room , is laughable.
The effect created over such a short period would be minimal.
As I've stated before.
There are few situations when I'd find it desirable to leave an airmover in a house, the only time I'd regard it as necessary, would be; -
When the inside air quality is stagnant due to zero, or near zero air flow
In a flood recovery situation
When the house is unnoccupied
There might be others
In all of the above, in order to get the full benefit from the driers, they would be left for at least 4 - 6 hours. This is simply not feasible in domestic work and IMO, unnecessary in the majority of cases.
Like a few other tasks, it might make the operator feel more important, or imagine it gies them greater credibility.
You are in a business, presumably to make money.............one of the first things you will learn on any business management course any where in the world, is MANAGEMENT OF TIME.
Unless a task is ESSENTIAL to the service, don't waste time, or effort doing it, instead, consider how efficiently you use your other resources.
Conflicting opinion is a good learning tool, but sometimes it's hard to listen, when you just want to talk.
This board is full of energy and enthusiasm, but you must, in this business, be prepared to experiment. There is such a huge variety of chemicals and tools available and the great thing on here, is the fact that people talk to each other,meet socially and are prepared to lend others equipment, so you can get the chance to try something out, rather than gambling considerable sums on a tool which others rave about , but simply might not appeal to you.
Airmovers are like, vacuums, or pile rakes, acid rinses, etc, etc.
Some use them, others don't.
There is no absolutely correct way, that everyone must follow, it's the end result that matters along with CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, without that, you will struggle.
