why would you leave it in the freezer to get freezer burn?

this year i have been having the same trouble as you. i am thinking it might be the ethanol garbage. a lot of marine engines have been failing and they say it is from that. I started adding the additive this week. I hope it isn't too late. something c-100 it is called ,and adding a couple cap fulls of marvel's mystery oil.

House wash recipe questions
Robo_Spray replied to cwenbass's question in Residential Pressure Washing
downstream FTW !! I can't say this enough, rinse and when you are done, rinse again. Be careful too applying the chem, x-jet or downstream. the siding ( vinyl ) has drain holes and chem can get caught up in them. Washing can drive them up even further and come out an hr after you left, leaving the brown chem stain. Just be careful about washing up :P -
I got a big contract washing army housing units this summer. They make me have a fire extinguisher and my gas has to be in a metal can. Now i am glad they do as what could happen. A lesson for all. We never think it can happen to us. * goes to see if fire extinguisher is up to date :P

Ever clean a garbage chute?
Robo_Spray replied to Robo_Spray's question in Residential Pressure Washing
thanks, I thought a duct spinner was the right tool. I quoted $400 a pop and he wants it done quartly too so the first one will pay for the spiner, or thier abouts and I need one anyway. Thanks -
I had a customer ask me the other day to clean a 5 story garbage chute. I guess the smell is getting bad. just wondering on what chems to use. The walls of the duct have some stains on them, but I guess it is the smell that is the problem. I was thinking about using my house mix, bleach and simple cherry. Bleach to kill the germs and simple cherry to help with the smell. Maybe sc like in my kitched ducts. Any thoughts? Oh I also thought about foaming at the top and letting it ooozzz down the sides and rince with hot water.

Tell me where to find it please
Robo_Spray replied to squeegeeboy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
do a yellow page search online for pool supply places. I heard some get it from the water control people in thier town. I pay $15 per 5 gal. -
Work smarter not harder I say
-
I read a lot here that add simple cherry to the mix. It maskes the smell of the bleach really well. The snow just melted here so I havent tried it yet, but I have some waiting to be mixed up, can't wait to try it.
-
If they are running full bore- maybe the mix is weaker to compensate, and they use a 55 gal bucket, not a 5

What should I use for 2 and 3rd story houses?
Robo_Spray replied to Rodgers12's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I bought a 4" long, 1/4" pipe and tried that the other day, worked good, and had a hell of a draw too. I spent $15 on the injecter and $1.50 on the tube. I tested it on my hood machine, 2.7 gpm, 3000psi and almost got 3 stories. I threw a bit of dawn in the mix too and it foamed just as good as my foaming cannon did. -
Honda vs. ZongShen engins
Robo_Spray replied to Robo_Spray's question in Residential Pressure Washing
yes that is what I meant - I will have to find out if a 6 gpm will work with a 13. I was reading that to do residental 6 or so is needed, or works bettter than my 3 gpm that I use for my hood cleaning. -
I got the EnviroSpec April flier yesterday and was thinkig about building a new Machine for this year. I was looking at getting a 13 horse motor that they have on 2008 clearence. the honda is $455 and thew zs is $285. I currently use honda engins, Karchers, as I do mostly oven hoods but this year I am going to branch out into a lot more residental and commerical building washing. I would like to find a 6 gpm pump to go with it. I would like to take the about $200 difference and get a good quality pump. Oh and a cart comes with the price too. Thoughts?

MudDuck - I just got some simple cherry in yesterday and I plan on using the formula 3 gal SC, 2 gal water, 2 scoops of simple cherry, what would be a good amount of borax to try?
