This class explains the most common service offered
by contractors in terms of the physical substrate, the
surface, and the typical soils that must be removed.
We examine different substrates and surfaces that

can encounter, the various choices for cleaners, the
most common tools employed, and the techniques for
getting off the job as quickly as possible.
