So I had a lady call the other day that had a nightmare experience with a “top rated” pressure washing company. She had the house and deck washed. She said the house is still dirty and her deck looks horrible. Apparently they washed the house first and then did the deck blasting all the dirt and wood fib...
I've actually been giving this thought the last few years but have yet to lower myself to that,..lower meaning bring my own standards down from what I've always strived for. Pros- Probably get more work,..because along with the people who want premium,..there could be customers added that fall in...
We received our first fuel bill so it was time to figure it out. We are almost able to pay the entire bill with the added charge. With the increase of almost $250.00 for SH and the crazy shipping rates from FedEx and UPS, the added surcharge has really made a big difference! Not one complaint so far.
Art mentioned in another thread about the price of SH going up. I noticed that at the end of last season. I would be willing to bet I pay as much or more than anyone else,..at least from the prices I've always seen people post over the years. I am at about $364.00 per 53 gallon from Univar,.... and I pick it u...
Guy on FB, says he's been around a while. Washed a fence with Green Ox. Has a problem with a fence. It peroxide based cleaner. Looks to me like Caulking running. Open Pics
I responded in another post about cost saving and though I'd make a separate post also. For me, one of the easiest ways to save money on SH this season will be simply to reduce the amount I use on house washes, I've always used too much,.and never adjusted from a "clean" house I do every year to a house that i...
What do you guys think this year is going to be like. I'm reading on FB that some guys are raising their pricing up tp 20%.. I'm just worrying about getting the phone to ring. With the economy the way it is and everything costing so much, Power washing is going to be way down on the homeowners todo list. I wor...
In your travels through the various groups,..does anyone still see people talking about using CH? Just wondering if AC is still promoting this stuff through his proprietary delivery system. Serious question... Jeff
This Stuff Cleans Everything. Found it at the Siding and Roofing Supply. I bought one to see how it works out. Way cheaper then World Best Wipes. Sorry for the sideways, got no time to fix
The festive activities were held this year at Jackson Hall the famous eatery located in lovely East Islip on the southern shore of Long Island. In attendance were Pat Gilley of Charlie's Roof Cleaning fame, the legend himself Art Oliveri, Erik Baumer of Dirtyroof.com and some old timer named Hank T...
I've been with Joe Walters for as long as I can remember, and also last year when they transitioned into the other company. I never had a claim so no issues there. But,..I really don't like the way they classify pressure washing as carpet cleaning,..I mean seriously,...and they claim to specialize in...
You guys still building your own proportioners? I built one about 4 years ago I guess and I just take it apart every year and re-do the fitting paste, etc. Thinking on making another one due to all of the SH run through the PVC, probably getting brittle about now. Some parts Check valves are the same on...
Hey all you in the washing world i am happy to be here, this is my first post. I work in Mississauga/Toronto Canada. Pressure washing since 2007. Just now looking into soft wash, our area has more brick homes than siding. My question is regarding car wash cleaning. Right now I am using a chemical called...
This time of year I like to dig around through the old forums,...I tell you what,,..there is ALOT of great information on those boards that is there for the taking. Looking back into the old RCIA board,..(The Original),....there are 459 pages of "information" there. There were a lot of contributor...
This past season I started cleaning pavers and cement a different way. First I hit the pavers with roof mix and went off and washed the house. Then I came back and hit it with a turbo on a 4' stick. The angle of the stick and turbo made a big difference. The pressure went across the pavers rather then down lik...
I've been wearing Levis 502 cargo pants for the past year for work. very comfortable and a cotton/poly blend. but sodium hypochlorite has discolored them. hoping a white poly only pants will stand up to "bleach"
Anyone try this soap? I just bought 5 gallons to give it a shot. Haven't used it in the field yet,..but added to a bucket and water blast to fill the bucket it seemed to make decent soap,..the foam/bubbles on top lasted for a t least an hour. It's a very think soap out of the bucket,..but that doesn't nece...

When hooked to the Chemical Induction Pump we have seen as high as 50% chemical draw rate.There are 4 nozzles that come with the Super Suds Sucker. The one marked #2 is for 2-5 G...
Just curious how many jobs a week are you averaging, how many employees you keep, and how do you retain them when there's no work? Personally cleaning is a side business and we keep core employees busy most of the time but roof cleaning is just me and a helper that only keeps everything wet. If I dedicat...
Where are we headed as a society. That maniac that ran through the parade in Wisconsin shouldn't have even been out running loose. The DA said the reforms he was pushing assured someone would die because of them. And they implemented them anyhow. Seriously,..what the **** is wrong with those libera...
G'Day again. I am looking for a surfactant to add to 4% dilution SH for roof cleaning. I am aware of Green wash from AC and have heard of Lemonator. Can anyone share any other product worth trying with a variety of fragrance etc. What do you recommend? Where can I get it? Thanks again.
