I just wanted to add that besides the ones listed above, that there seems to be a HUGE growing market in restoring teak. There is a large amount of outdoor furniture that people need restored. Just thought I'd bring it up as it's popularity is growing in this area.

r_latt makes some great points. Experience means alot when identifing different surfaces and how to clean them. Further ,on the older mobile homes it very easy to get water inside the windows and such. Even the new ones can be a mess because the sills are like a "flake board" material and once it is wet you have problems. You will definitely get "blamed" for any problems and it will cost you much more than you got for washing. For the amount of money you get from a mobile home it may not be worth it at first. Like anything , be careful and no when something isn't right, some times it is better to back up and get help than to forge forward full speed ahead.

misskriss, Just my .02 cents but where ever you heard about the truck wash I would imagine this is what they meant. First , there are different types of "coverings and coatings" on mobile homes. Any vinyl or aluminum sided homes(just like any other homes) you can use the above mentioned. However , just like gutters , there are some older mobile homes with the same surfaces in these cases bleach and cold water will not do the trick. Many chemical companies will sell there truck washes for gutter cleaning. The same principal applies here as with gutters, you won't get gutters clean with cold water and bleach.You do want to be careful on the surfaces to which you are applying the chem though. In these cases hot water and the "truck wash" will get rid of the black rain stains on the mobile home or trailer.The key is knowing the difference between the ones with the "baked on paint" , aluminum , or vinyl sided covering. We have 3 accounts with mobile homes and this is from my experiences. I hope I have helped.
