How much liability insurance do you carry?
mick m replied to Beth n Rod's topic in Documents, Forms & Proofs
10 Million is the absolute minimum here in Australia, 30 million if you have govt contracts. I guess when Aussies stuff something up, they really stuff it up!!! -
Whats the Best Surface Cleaner?
mick m replied to Napa Pressure Washer's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I guess it really depends on how much work you intend do with it. Is it going to a be a regular thing? Large areas more than small. As with most things in life you get what you pay for. If it's in the budget get the one thats going to last, & not give you grief everytime you pull the trigger. Also, consider your machines flow rate. Will it power the surface cleaner to it's optimum performance? Try as many demo models as you can. Good luck.- 5 replies

brick discoloration while removing rust
mick m replied to Fairway Washing's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Try Hydroflouric, But be very careful! -
The only way you will quit is if you want to. Thats the bottom line. You HAVE TO WANT TO STOP! Try the patch's. I'm assuming their available in the US. There is no craving or withdrawl, you simply DO NOT feel like having a smoke. And before you know it, the smell becomes really offensive to you. This is what your non smoking clients will smell from your clothes, before you even open your mouth. Try this. Go home & take a photo off the wall. Look at the difference in the paint/walpaper color. You might just get a little ''surprised''. As in ''where the hell did all this crap come from''?. Anyway mate, keep it up. Remember, you CAN DO IT. IF YOU WANT TO!

Nicabate patch's. Brilliant! Been 17 months smoke free. Only need ed the patch's for about 5 weeks then one day I realized I'd left home with putting one on, & have never needed them since. I still get the odd moment when i could really cave in, but that pass's in seconds. Should have done it decades ago. Hang in there. IT DOES GET EASIER!!!

What else can I use Sodium Percarbonate for besides cleaning wood?
mick m replied to Christopher's topic in Chemicals & Safety
Bung it on your lawns & garden beds. It does wonders as it puts oxygen back into the soil. -
Depending on what the form work was made from, you might find its the wafer thin plastic coating used on the form work to give it that smooth finish that peeled off & has stayed on the concrete surface.

Soda Blasting w/surface cleaner
mick m replied to WashRite's question in Having A "Blast" (sand, soda, dry ice, etc.)
It would need to be air powered, would'nt it? -
Hi Wallydog. Mick here from Perth. Is there any reason you cant go to, say kerricks & try both size's.? You'd test drive a car before you bought it, wouldn't you? Are you feeding off a tank or straight from a tap?

Maybe one that can ask a question,without making it sound like a demand! Ever heard of ''thanks''? Ps; Learn to spell. -
Had the same problem 4 yrs ago. Brand new 13hp Honda. Level ground, faulty low oil alert switch.

Hi People. I'd be inclined to go for something with high alkaline levels & try adding some thickening agent to it, so it has a longer ''hang time''. Good luck!

Where to get accessories?
mick m replied to Street Appeal's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Not too shabby. I do a lot of shopping centre paving for a major cleaning Co. that keeps me busy enough. Early morning stuff mainly + the occasional night shift. i know what you mean about the price difference between Aus & the usa. Makes ya wonder at times, who's making all the money. I bought some nozzels for the whirl a way while i was in NZ last year, $10 + gst. Over here $17. 40 + gst. Both were Kerricks outlets! -

engine revving/pressure fluctuating
mick m replied to cwarrior's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
I've got a 15 year old B & S that runs as sweet as a nut, but only started back firing on shut down after i cleaned out the carb about 4 months ago. So i've obviously upset something along the way. -
Hello from Perth Western Australia. Best advice i can offer.....NEVER..NEVER give up! It only take's a chance meeting with someone, who KNOW'S someone, looking for someone [you!] to do some cleaning for them. The exact same thing happened when i first started out. Could not get any work...at all, for month's on end. Then a mate of mine got talking to another dog owner, while he was out with his dog, started walking together, talking about their occupations, turned out the other guy worked for a pressure cleaning co & they were looking for sub contractors.....12 yrs later i'm still doing & enjoying it. Keep at it, think outside the square & go just that little bit further. Free demo's anything to get your name out there. best of luck. Mick
