    How do I change location on the site?

    Was updating my profile, and realized my location says Lady Lake, FL. I don't live there anymore, and the business is growing in Ocala. Is there a way of change it?

    Individual truck wash pricing

    I normally don't so fleet washing, but I have had a few people here and there who also own mobile businesses ask me to wash their box truck or enclosed trailer. Some people have also asked me to wash RV's. I have no idea what to charge for this sort of thing. I have pretty much just told people...

    PWI not working on Tapatalk?

    PWI seems to no longer work on Tapatalk. I hope this is temporary, because I hardly ever get on a desktop computer. It's the main reason I never really go to the RCIA, Soft Wash Systems, or Chemical Doctor forums. Please, someone tell me it will be back up there soon!

    How to avoid etching concrete?

    Luckily, this has not been a problem until now, but I was washing a driveway that already had exposed aggregate, after I was done, I noticed a couple perfect circles in the driveway the size of my surface cleaner. I don't remember sitting in one spot not moving with the trigger pulled for longer...

    Can this be cleaned?

    I cleaned this driveway a few days ago for someone, and a couple days later they decided to give me a call back and say that the driveway still had dirty spots. I couldn't imagine what he could be talking about, because the driveway was not extremely terrible to start with. I down streamed...

    Mold/mildew on stucco

    I have been doing a lot of stucco houses that have some mold/mildew so deeply ingrained into them that I can't seem to do anything to get it all off. Here is a picture of a wall AFTER I downstreamed undiluted 10% SH and 3 oz. Roof Snot in a 5er through a 4GPM machine. It's about 75 percent...

    The more I rent the siding, the dirtier it gets.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who has run into this problem. How do you guys usually handle it? Up until now my solution has just been to wait until the house dries, and clean the dirty spots with a damp rag. . Is there a better solution?

    I had a roof cleaning job canceled!

    Because the customer was told by her roofer to never hire anyone who uses bleach on her roof. UGH! I really needed this job! Why would a roofer tell her that? Does he just want people pressure washing roofs, so that he can get more roof replacement jobs? If I didn't have a conscience I would...

    Pool screens

    Pool screens... Are they all huge PITA for everyone, or am I just missing something? I have been spending WAY too long doing them. I wash the pool deck and then I spend forever trying to bottleneck the muddy water out the screen door and then have to wash all the dirt and leaves that get stuck...

    I destroyed a lamp. With a 2550 soap nozzle.

    This is the kind of thing they put outside overpriced ranch houses in expensive retirement communities. Plastic lights that dry rot and fall apart if you breathe on them. Big PITA around here. This is what happened to the light when I hit it with a soap nozzle from about 3 feet away.

    Anyone know where to get 55 gallon drums?

    Thinking about trying some of those 55 gallon drum house wash chemical kits at powerwashstore.com. Don't have a clue where to get a 55 gallon drum though. Any ideas?

    Guy Blackmon was right!

    8 GPM is definitely the way to go! I'll never go back! Although I ended up going through the cash I had set aside for a skid pretty quick during this slow winter season, with help from Russ Johnson, Paul Kassander, and a super cheap pressure washer on Craigslist, I was able to piece together an...

    Smoke stains on stucco?

    Had someone tell me their grill caught on fire, and now he wants the smoke stains removed from the stucco. Any suggestions of how to do this? I'm thinking this would work better if I had hot water... I would think it would need more than just house wash mix. Maybe if I hit it with a little F9? I...

    Anyone mixing F13 with their house wash mix?

    I have tried mixing F13 with Simple Cherry, and it works great for cleaning gutters with mild stains without having to scrub, and helps with oxidation on vinyl. My question is, is anyone using it with anything other than Simple Cherry? Would it work with Roof Snot?

    How to protect wood floors on trailer from SH spills?

    Okay, so I have this trailer rig that I bought used a few months back that turned out to be a bad investment. The pressure washer that came with it never really worked well, and the 200 gallon tank is not hooked up to anything. It is not centered over the axles anyway, so with my plans to hook...

    Free pressure washer

    This skid mount came as part of a rig that I bought used a few months back. It has been a money pit and I think it has cost me more than it has made me. I believe the engine needs a new carburetor, but I'm pretty sure the pump and K7 are still good. Anyone who wants to pick it up can have it.

    Tightening belts

    Anybody know how I can tighten the belts on my Pressure Pro E-Series? I tried loosening the bolts on the pump and sliding the pump forward, but I think I just made it worse. Is that the right way to do it?

    Pressure hose repair

    I have had 3 sections of pressure hose bust within the last few days. It's going to be time for some new house soon but in the meantime, does anyone know where I can go to get the hose repaired? I know my local distributor will splice the hose for me, but he is an hour away. Is there any other...

    Residential oil removal with cold water?

    I know hot water is the best way to do it, but is it possible for us residential guys with cold water machines to remove the occasional oil stain from a driveway? What would be the best product to use? Would I be better off with sodium hydroxide, or EBC, or Creet Kleen from powerwashstore.com...

    Pretty good deal...

    http://gainesville.craigslist.org/bfs/3564417245.html The guy said he would consider taking $1500 for it. I was tempted to pick it up myself, but promised Jerry I'd buy from him as soon as I have the money, and I'm a man of my word. Surprised this hasn't been snatched up yet.
