    I have been using a upholstery tool on stairs. which burns me out. 
Frustrating because do not like to sweat.
Have to get down on my knees, knees wet. 
Thinking about buying a 30 inch swivel ergonomic stair tool with the spray 
jet inside. Cost about 180 to 250.00 US Dollars.  Any feedback  Thanks!

	I have looked at the swivel tool as well. Unfortunatley they dont seem to work that well. talk to ted....he is away this week but back on tuesday. He sure will give you the deal on these swivel head wands. He tells me alot of guys that bought them don't really like them much... and I can see why. I was also very nervous about ordering one...after talking with Ted...I ordered the Mini-wand version with a fixed head. I, like you have used furniture type tools for years and my back is killing me. Hey Mr. Steamer....what do you use on stairs??

	Nobody makes a good stair tool, maybe someday it will happen. Back breaking work if you have a lot of stairs to do.

	I use a PMF half wand and I think it's great no swivel head though. Only complaint I'd have is that it's maybe a little too long on the last step or two at times. but after using my wand for 5 1/2 years I love not having to hold my arms in the air like a monkey cleaning stairs any more I actually prefer to use less pressure and solution on stairs

	It's just a pain in the nether regions to do a riser or a nose on the stair with a half wand. I feel I have better control with the PMF.

	John L I use the vac from my truck mount. The water goes down with the gun first and then sucked up.....as you know when the water is not immediatley extracted like in the case of a wand where the water is sprayed in and vacuumed off ......it does take longer to dry. That is why I was considering the mini-wand. As you know.....carpets are always the dirtiest on steps which usually requires more prespray....scrubbing...dwell time...etc.....which results in longer drying times. Any advise on the mini-wand? Should I just keep using my own method.....my back hurts!!
