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...
New Stainless Steelfor Bleach Users!The Super Suds Sucker will draw up to 33% and as much as 500′ of 3/8″ pressure washer hose. 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.
A happy thanksgiving to all my brothers and sisters here on the NSWA. My family and I are heading down to New York City to visit my family in Queens. Art and Pat I will see you on Friday for our mini round "coffee" table. The weather should be fine. Lets do some work. Ill have my truck Hank
Personally I've had some medical issues that caused me to cut back the last 2 years. I know the board's been dead for many reasons but curious how others have made out
Which brand of 12v pump is your favourite. I have been using Everflo for the last couple of years but I find that the pressure switch goes or they develop some other problem and last only about 3/4 months. This considering that we don't do roof cleans every day and may not use for a week at a time. I was think...
Wondering what you/your workers wear on the job. I was gonna get some of the polyester shirts printed but can't find anyone that is selling them (ALLRED is currently not taking orders), so I may just go with a cheap screen-printed T-shirt for now. Anyway, just wondering what everyone does. I see guy...
Been looking on the search bar and haven't found anything. How do you all charge for roof cleaning and for house wash? Do you all charge per Sqft and what's the going rate? Thank you for the response
I think we should accept certifications from other forums. Have honorable certifications? Or should we decide certification on a individual case? Should we be doing certification or farming that work out? It's a long way off but we can get some ideas, what do you think?
YIKES! One of my competitors in the Tallahassee market washed a five story building with WAY too strong of a solution and ZERO care for landscaping. The result was tens of thousand of dollars in landscape damage. Ironically I washed this building 2.5 years ago in the middle of the summer and had ZERO da...
Has anyone tried sodiprecobonate? Was wondering how much to add to a 5 gallon bucket? I did a powder to hot water test on concrete and worked really good. How about a roof?
Hank is still number two! I miss the guy! This use to be the place, and it still should be, where the the seasoned guys hang out and newbies could learn without being spoon fed, sarcasm and wrong answers!
