Have you cleaned your bathroom fan lately?

I hadn't dismantled + vacuumed mine in something close to 8 years. Sooooo... that was gross.

(Yeah, this isn't from a client.)

Sometimes, you have to roll up your sleeves... and use handheld detailing attachments to achieve your dreams. This was a satisfying favour for a friend.

Sometimes the upright vacuum roller brush decides it's time for maintenance... at a job site... in the middle of the night. All at once it was time to clean the filters, unclog the intake, and shave the roller brush (pictured here).

Kudos to for making a powerful upright that refuses to die! I genuinely cannot believe how much abuse this Air Upright (UH72400) has taken from me over the years.

(Note: I last cleaned this roller brush about 5 months ago.)

A window frame in a small warehouse. The owners and I thought the frame had been painted over (it was gray like the walls), but it turns out it was just THAT dirty. Cleaned by Roz ( )

Video of Mr. Filipaj, the 52-yr-old Columbia University janitor graduating this weekend. "A real-life Good Will Hunting."

Gac Filipaj fled from Yugoslavia to become real-life "Good Will Hunting."

Well, this is highly appropriate! 52-yr-old Gac Filipaj, custodian at Columbia University (ever wonder how I named the company?) is going to graduate from the school with honors this weekend!

A 52-year-old custodian at Columbia University in New York said he is scheduled to graduate with honors from the school this weekend after 12 years of study.
