Today is my Doctor's birthday... Happy Birthday Chemical Doctor! aka Steve Rowlett

What do you feel should be the fate of The Cleaner Network.com??

I have foamed a 4X strength NaOH product (roof magic 4x) onto Artillery fungus, let it dwell 10 minutes (foam helped it stick) then in a pump up sprayer, sprayed oxalic acid on it....then followed with my m5 xjet.....90% of it was gone.

Great job JB as usual. Dale must have taught you well.

looks like a three legged squid...

I had to chuckle reading this post, it reminded me of when my brother in law borrowed a pressure washer we had. I told him to take the book with for answering any questions he might have...he left it, instead of putting the little tube in his jug of soap, he poured the soap into "the plastic box labeled 'cleaner'" he neglected to notice the word "AIR" above it, seized that engine block nice and tight...he's a doctor btw.

I have a 6 X 12 enclosed, single axle, rear ramp door, side personel door. 6 foot 1 inch height inside. Ladder rack. round matching masterlocks and tongue lock too. Nice crisp clean white.

Just for the record...I have never nor do I hold any vested interest in it. Just checking the pulse of those out there.

With the recent online departure of The Cleaner Network, I thought I'd ask it... I know a lot of people because of it, through the networks that worked positively with it, and those that called me on the phone because of it.

WOW! I've always heard ACR events are worth the price of admission... Sorry, I am weary of the ides of March...Ceasar should have taken that advice too. Really, Tom knows a lot about washing...nice location too. What's guaranteed to be on the schedule for the day?

keep waiting...non marking hose is a joke....whip hoses...find a good hose shop, use your blown hoses and have whips made for less.(they charge for ends) The internet is a wonderful thing...gives the ability to bargain shop....

Well, Mike, funny how you conveiniently pop out of the shadows...done counting beans? I've had 12 whip hoses made...and 3 hoses repaired. In hindsight the cause of the leak was abrasions from other contact....the bill $80 and change, plus made direct contacts with others to subcontract from. I purchased my non marking hose form dultmeier....blue resisdue on sidewalks often. Yes, he does have an unique insight on things..

Chris Chappell is in Corpus Cristi...Don't know if he's online here often or not but I'll be sure to advise him of the thread.

My insurance agent has been phenominal, not only have they been able to save me and my business money, but they truly have shown signs of a company that cares about and for my success. They recently informed me that they are PA statewide and have been certified to expand into the state of Maryland....yes geico has been able to save folks 15% BUT their statistics calculate savings in the 37% range.. PM or email me your contact info and I can pass it to them. Believe me you will appriciate what they can do for you. Dennis, Joe, Valerie, Brian, and Liz are some amazingly caring people, who have been recently recognized by the insurance industry...finished in the top 3. garyschell@comcast.net

All aspects of everything our business encompasses is covered.

You know after realizing my calendar faux paz...I might be able to squeeze it into the plans for the weekend. I'll have to call Tom back and iron out some things. I know in the spring there was a crapload of vehicles on the parking lot when I met with John "ambien man" Tornabene...loved his big yellow truck.

I must admit, I waited until 2003 to register to vote...2000 proved to be the mark of making the US a third world country....can't complete an election without a ballot box controversy. BUT thankfully my state wasn't the cause, so I felt it was my duty to utilize my right to vote...my business consultants all told me in 04 it didn't matter who I voted for, our plan would sustain either victor. SO 3 years later, I ask myself what is it going to take to get my vote in 08...should I vote for the guy in Days of Thunder, or the guy from Days of Thunder land, or is someone else the lesser of the evils we are all inclined to fear..... Key thing to remember, if you don't vote, you really have nothing to complain about...other than your laziness. Nice thread idea Jon. I've been voting ever since, local elections affect us all more than the national ones.

Shoot, I put the 16th down...oh wait its 2007...me and my "old school ways" We got our pup last year around the RT...that little, little puppy....knocks me down all the time now and still poops while walking 12 feet...we love "the bean"

When is it again? I'm planning a roof cleaning event that very same day to accomplish many things...the number one thing I will accomplish is elimination of the doubt a pressure washer can be used....if you can downstream...you can clean a roof without 12.5%...at $4.31 a gallon here...quite cost prohibitive.

Some new forums are coming to the cleaner network site, if you are a member there stop in and check things out. One forum is to initiate an order for those who buy RPC Chemicals, another showcases projects completed with RPC Chemicals, and like many of the other sites have, a contractor finding feature. Might be a good idea to have a thecleanernetwork.com sticker:)...usually you get/got them with an order.

Well, I'm sure since your last visit in February there have been some new posts. You need to post something there to show off that bush country avatar.

This isn't about my roof cleaning methods mel, its about some new forums at the cleaner network. BTW try it on a roof, it works, and with hypochlorite being $4.25 a gallon here...I stick with what makes economic sense for me and my customers. Cleaner times june 2007 page 28...need a copy? I'll mail you an autographed copy.

I have been doing some homework and I can't see where anybody has the status of being 'banned'. Perhaps a pm or email to Steve may clear any confusion, but then again as far as I can tell, only wild/weird email addresses have caused new users to be deleted. 12 spammers at least a day has caused the issues with "joining" Ken, want my good graces? Give me some roofs to spray some hydroxide on! Your customers deserve the very best don't they?

Jeff, do you remember your password? I'll look into it for anyohe who lets me know they have an issue.

If you know someone that would go on a regular basis, they could join as your "sales person". Two free visits
