EPA Enforcement in 2012 Protects Communities From Harmful Pollution

[Christopher]

I hate to give PWNA and Robert any ideas but every time I think about that statement that pressure washers will go underground, I think of that show "Moonshiners".

This week on Discovery Channel - PressureWashers
Sneaking around...hiding from the law...cleaning at night

I like watching that show, it makes me laugh a lot. hahahahaha

That would be a funny show about pressure washers. hahahahaha

 

[Christopher]

I would rather have a discussion about that with the "Majority" (25%ers) of PW Contractors on the different boards and a poll or vote on the term "We" would rather use. I find the term "Cosmetic Cleaning" degrading and doesn't even begin to describe how we as Professionals view "Who We Are & What We Do". How will we ever be taken seriously as an Industry with the "Classification" of "Cosmetic Cleaner"???

Sanitation Technician is a Garbageman...Right? To be sure we can come up with a better Classification than "Cosmetic Cleaner" but of course the EPA will never change their classification of us, Robert told me that.

Great post Guy.

What about calling this what it really is?

Pollution Cleaning

We are the Pollution Cleaners

We are Pollution Cleaning Specialists

We clean Pollution and make areas Safe and Clean


I agree with you guys, I don't like the idea of the term Cosmetic Cleaning does not sound too masculine to me and is not what we do.

" Exterior Enhancement Technician"
... and then if you add "Certified", in front of it you can make a really cool acronym.
