    Dealing with Property Managers

    Ive been trying to pick up a strip mall in my area for the past few months. The property manager I was initially talking to was very interested in switching from the current pressure washer due to sub par work. If I posted pics you guys would blow your tops. Black grease stains under dining...

    Where to start?

    I've been reading a lot about coil cleaning on this site and I'm very interested in learning how to clean coils and incorporate it into my business. That being said I have no idea on where to even begin. I saw in a few post that Tony used to put on a school but I haven't seen anything else about...

    Trailers and cold weather

    How do you guys in colder regions keep your trailers from freezing up. I am not talking about winterizing my trailer. I have a few monthly accounts that I service and I do not want to winterize after each job. I'm thinking about renting a storage unit but I'm worried for those nights when it...

    Seal Coat Stains on Concrete

    So I cleaned a grocery storefront last night and I encountered a stain that I would like some input on. The stains are from wheeling the shopping carts from a recently seal coated parking lot into the building. I hit them with my sh mix (I made sure to be very careful using this next to the...

    We have our own pressure washer

    I've gotten this response multiple times this week. How do you guys handle the conversation when you are told that they take care of pressure washing in house? I'm torn between trying to sell them that I can do a better job or accepting it and getting on to the next sale. I'd appreciate any input.

    There aren't enough safety cones in the world!!

    It absolutely amazes me how people think saftey cones don't apply to them! I was on a job the last two days cleaning a parking lot after a flash flood last week. Had multiple people drive right by the cones and off the curb. Even saw a hippy in a smart car try to go over the curb, which made my...

    Overlap marks?

    Hey everyone. I'm hoping some of you can shed some light on these marks that my surface cleaner leaves. At first I thought it was the nozzles on the spin bar (which were 25027) so I changed them out for some 25045. It is still leaving the marks. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do...

    Reagent or food grade?

    Hey everyone. I'm looking to buy some sodium hydroxide and some potash. Do you guys go with the reagent grade or food grade? I know that the reagent grade has higher purity but does it make a difference?

    Shop floor cleaning

    Hey everyone. I got a call today about cleaning an old automotive repair shop floor. It has a sealer on it and The owner was not sure what type of sealer it is. My only concern with cleaning it is stripping up the sealer (which they want to keep). I'm only running about 2500 psi. Is there any...

    Abbreviation glossary

    I think one way to improve this site would be to include an abbreviation glossary for newcomers. I have run across multiple abbreviations that I have no idea mean or that could have dual meanings. One example is the use of SH. At first I just assumed it was sodium hydroxide, but then I realized...
