Title: Parking Garage Cleaning 101 — Why the Right Gear and Training Make All the Difference
There are a lot of contractors out there doing garage-cleaning work. The biggest mistake many make is going in without the proper equipment, thinking you can get the job done like everyone else. If you don’t have at least a 5.5 gpm @ 3000 psi HOT pressure-washing rig you’re setting yourself up for frustration, and your customer will likely be disappointed. On jobs where I show up with equipment that delivers 11 gpm at 3500 psi hot, along with full wash-water recovery gear, the job becomes much faster and easier. The customer sees good results — and that is always the final goal.
Yes, even my wife tells me I forget things sometimes. That is exactly why every time I teach a garage-cleaning class I keep lecture to a minimum and make sure there is plenty of time for questions and answers. I assume most attendees already know the basics of pressure washing, but often their questions uncover real-world problems or situations I never would have thought to include in a traditional presentation. Next time I teach I plan to take detailed notes of those questions so I can build an even more useful, practical class.
If you are serious about doing garage cleaning right I strongly recommend participating in a professional class through UAMCC or a similar organization. Here are a couple of past examples of training or events related to parking-garage cleaning:
If you have not yet invested in the right gear and training, you may be doing yourself — and your customers — a disservice.

- A garage-cleaning training (as part of a supply event) on the UAMCC forum: Panhandle Power Wash Supply Event January 2023 Parking Garage Cleaning Training. ([forum.uamcc.org thread]) XenForo
- For general pressure-washing and contracting training classes organized by UAMCC: see their “Hands On Safety Training” listing which periodically includes trainings relevant to commercial and heavy-duty services. uamcc.org+2uamcc.org+2
