    Need help pricing, please!

    Here's a test I did last week. The Athletic Director was pretty impressed. I used my house wash soap and bleach mix and then spun it with a surface cleaner at about 120 deg. I priced it out at about $0.10 a square foot given the area covered during the test.

Pretty certain that when the trigger is released and the machine goes into bypass the burner should not...
