  1. Here is an awnong I washed last weekend

    Jarrod, Now you need to up sell the building owner a shock system to prevent the birds from coming back. http://www.birdbgone.com/birdjolt.htm
  2. Respirators ???

    Who else could drink a river dry after handling chlorine?...cough,cough,cough....yeah I have burned my lungs a few times because I thought it was just to hot to wear the respirator...cough,cough,cough.
  3. xjet length

    We use 50' without any problems.
  4. New Truck

    If you go to the King Ranch website I believe they sell products to take care of the seats. http://www.king-ranch.com/
  5. Gradient Stucco?

    Looks like mud staining or irrigation rust.Oxalic acid should remove it or maybe something like NMD80 from eacochem.
  6. Now this is funny!

    Oh I REALLY like this.
  7. Gas prices

    HOLY COW!!!!! I can't believe this horse is still being beat.
  8. Gas prices

    For me "THEY" are the voices in my head.As long as they are there I'll never feel lonely.
  9. Gas prices

    The government has engines that will run on water stored in the same warehouse with the aliens and their space craft. No need for fossil fuel.....change the company name to Amish Pressure Washing.Put a tank and huge hand pump on a wagon and pull it with a couple of good draft horses.Have your helpers take turns operating the pump.Problem solved. Can you tell I'm sick of this????????Raise your prices to accommodate the gas prices.If customer complain explain the need for the increase.I promise most understand.
  10. Driveway Mix

    1:1 or 2:1 is the norm.The stronger mix will cut down on the dwell time.We do a lot of fastfood drive thrus and the few extra dollars of chemicals is more than offset by the time saved.
  11. Citracleen users

    I think RPC and Sunbrite chemicals are blended by the same company in Atl,Ga.
  12. Whats involved

    Finger prints,caulk smears,no access and brushing..........RUN FORREST!!!!!!
  13. Gas prices

    Instead of boycotting the local Exxon station why not call their HQ and make a complaint?If you want your voice heard,let them hear your voice personally. Do you honestly think not buying gas for one day will hurt their bottom line that much?Do you realize how many people not buying gas for a day it would take to make a dent in the oil companies profits? P.S. Mike is correct the station owner is only making pennies per gallon.I know 2 station owners that could not stay in business if they only sold fuel.
  14. trailer home chem

    We are equal opportunity cleaners so washing a mobile home is no big deal for us.However,it will not happen for $30. A typical single wide $90+,double wides $125+,triple wides and modular homes are prices as if they were stick build.Then there is the upsell for carports,door mats,kids,dogs and whatever else they can come up with.On occassion we will clean the mold off one of the blocked up cars just for the fun of it.
  15. Driveway Mix

    Sodium hydroxide for the grease,oil and gas.Oxalic acid for the rust. Since you are using cold water give the sodium hydroxide at least 10-20 minutes of dwell time.Once you have cleaned and rinse apply the oxalic to the rust. If you are xjetting the oxalic.....2 pounds to 5 gallons of warm water should do the trick,but there is always a possibility for a second application.
  16. We already pay that for 10.5% to 12% now.It's jumped about $.65 a gallon over that last year.
  17. Deck in a Day

    The satisfaction you get from doing something for someone else is hard to decribe.We do no charge house washes for those who can not afford them all through the year.Usually the elderly in the community or our church who have been sick or in the hospital but,we have also done a couple for families with special needs children who's budget is stretched due to high medical bills. This year we are hoping to do at least 12 house washes for those in need.To date we have done 3.Sometimes it's not all about the money or publicity but,about helping your fellow man.
  18. Look everybody a chance to debate percarb~vs~bleach. Joel, There are 2 schools of thought on cleaning mildew/mold from decks.Both work and are very effective.Once all of the "woodies" have spoken decide which will work best for your situation and forge ahead.Good Luck!
  19. Vehicle

    My first car was supposed to be a 1966(the year I was born) GTO my grandfather(original owner) parked in his barn in the early 70's.In the 81 the house and barn burned along with their pet poodle and the GTO. I ended up buying a 1970 mustang witha 3 speed.Learned to drive stick shift on I-10 during the 3 hours ride home.
  20. Seems as though replacing them would be the best thing to do.
  21. Stucco

    Be sure the building is actually stucco and not dryvit.
  22. Leaking Guns

    Why not build a wand(Phelps Wand) out of PVC like those used for cleaning roofs?You could use the inline ball valve to adjust flow to a ceratin degree. You might have to use a small I.D. PVC but it should be pretty easy to put together.
  23. No offense taken Rick,just having a little fun with ya. My sanity is questionable at times but I look at it this way.As long as I have the voices in my head,I'll never be alone......lol.
