The Cleaner

Vetran Washer 30 Years Plus
I always said i wish that Hollywood would break off into the pacific. I would love to see thoes high priced overated drug addicted so called movie stars have to go out and get a real job !!:D :D 20 Million a movie for some of these clowns, I have not seen a good movie since Forrest Gump & Bubba.

I feel sorry that it had to happen in one of the nicest areas of California, San Diego was one of my choices to move to before i came down here to florida. But the real estate out there was ridiculously overpriced..
 
Lots of smoke!
there are 5 different fires going at the moment in the greater LA area.
 
This happens each year when the Santa Anna Winds kick up. Up north we have had rain and the land is turning to green and we are burning our brush piles. We are some 500 plus miles from the fires.
 
Alot of fire crews up North are on I-5 South as we speak.

You all be safe!!

Takes me back to the time about 3 years ago when San Diego was on fire. We sent 2 power washing crews down there to "donate" our services. We washed black soot from homes that did not get burned down. The city of San Diego lifted the enforcement of the Clean Water Act during the mop up phase of that disaster.
 
Russ,

We felt very bad for some of the people that we met at some of the Red Cross centers due to the fact they lost everything that the owned. We were washing/rinsing sun-up to sun down. We did not spend much time at all on any particular house it was more of a "blow and go" operation i.e. rinsing driveways/sidewalks off, rinsing houses and vehicles.

It's kind of weird but the fires going on down there today is almost exactly 4 years apart from when we were down there.

Here is a "hint" to some of you that are looking to expand a little in your services.

After we did this trip down south, I came back to our home base of operations and evaluated whether or not we could provide this service continuously to houses that unfortunately get in the way of blowing smoke/soot. Out here in Calif. we experience wildland fires to the extent that entire neighborhoods can easily get covered with "drift smoke" or soot. Well that soot/dirt needs to be cleaned and unfortunately insurance companies do not cover that in their policies. It is up to the home owner to get it clean. Out here we have been able to "package" entire neighborhoods for cleaning in the wake of these wildfires.

It is an unfortunate set of circumstances to see things like what is going on in S. Calif right now but at the end of the day folks appreciate and value companies that come in and assistance them to get them back on their feet.

I turned a particular washer on to this idea about 2-3 years ago back East. I understand they did quite well during some flooding in their area in which they washed alot of mud out for home owners.

An article ran in the newspaper about what we were doing which we thought was pretty cool. Newspaper article is attached.

I heard on the NFL Channel I think it was San Diego Chargers are going to have to move to practice somewhere else... Correct me if I am wrong.. But man thats a bad deal ... I cant imagine fire that moves in just like a thunderstorm and plus with all those winds.... Nick I got to tell you everytime I look at your Avatar it makes me want to go and upgrade all of my steam cleaning equipment.... Talk about makeing the competition jealous...most of the guys around here(Mississippi) are jealous of my equipment simply because I use Surface Cleaners and Hot Water to clean concrete... The usual cleaning outfit in Jackson has a trailer mounted 300 or so gallon water tank and a 3000 psi cold water machine with 100 ft of hose and 1 wand...
