we got a call Friday for a Home Depot to clean 35,000 square fee. They said they needed it done before Monday !Lol so I said yes! If we can cancel a few other jobs and squeeze you in. I gave them the bid they needed to reclaim water inside as well And no one called back. Went by today a saw an employee washing the...
Hi there, In the area where I live we have a lot of concrete tile roofs. The problem I am referring to is white areas looks like spots on the roof. I did my research online and some people saying it is calcium carbonate or Lime. It can be cleaned with some acids like (muriatic acid or acetic acid). I tried the...

Hey, we are just starting to get going with this, and are trying to nail down a name so we can move forward with wraps/shirts/etc. Our working name has been "Exterior Solutions", which is a bit generic. Here are two of the names we have sort of narrowed it down to. These could be followed by any number of w...
I dont have much advice to contribute here yet, so here's a little heads up that might help someone. My Walmart has some Avia's on clearance for $5. I like bringing an extra pair of shoes and socks along in case my feet get wet... plus with the chemicals we use while out in the sun all day, it doesnt take lo...

I saw a post that Art re posted and had to respond here, in what I consider my "cleaning family". Diego Garcia Go Fund Me Few people know that I fell in 2013 at the beginning of the season after 36 years of successfully climbing ladders. It was a precarious situation, one that I should have walked away from...

Doug told me to check out Kleen-Rite for booster pumps. I did one comparison with Grainger and it was a $200.00 savings for the exact same pump! They have many different products and equipment we use and fast shipping from PA.
This has been one of my pet peeves. So few people write properly anymore and it keeps getting worse... there, their and they're... sentences start with So... the list goes on. When it comes to customers, I always address the email with their first name or Mr./Mrs. Even if they write back without addres...
Guys, I have been using the FloJet accumulator tank from day one. It works OK and does occasionally need to be replaced. The ports seem to be a maintenance issue. The fittings need to be replaced each year and the ports themselves seem to wear and begin to leak. Does anyone have this issue? What are your...

I've had it in mind for a while now,.I want to try the kind of soap car washes use for their bay washing. I bought one called Summer Breeze from Kleen-Rite. I will be using it today on a house wash,..I let some in a bucket with 12.5% overnight and it seems completely compatible by smell. Was fairly che...

I hope everyone has a great day and enjoys some family time, in this crazy season. I'm heading out in ten minutes with my son to go fishing and then dinner with the Whole family. Have a awesome day everyone!!
I am trying to add a pump system for adding soap to my mixes. I have an xjet bucket that fits perfectly in the tool box on my skid unit so, I want to use that as the container. I am looking to be able to eventually do everything from outside the truck(with ball valves) rather than in the skid. I just don'...
Im not able to build up decent water pressure. When trying to prime the water its as if it wouldn't prime. I took the cover off an the SH valve is leakin. Does that affect water pressure?
Hey guys I'm going to be doing a church in the future with efflorescence problems on the one side. I need suggestions of what acid or cleaner to use on this job. I've had little success in the past with acids on brick but maybe I was doing something wrong. I've tried Muriatic acid and a multi acid cleaner fo...
Anything you guys might do on a house wash to help the smell of a house that has been repeatedly skunked? They've been under the house, but I think they've gotten them out with a variety of methods. I don't smell it, but those that work there say they do. I think some of it is in their minds, but I think repla...
How would you handle this copper dormer if cleaning this roof? It's not real dirty up there so I could likely avoid it, but assume it's gonna get sprayed. This house also has copper gutters.
