Hey Jeff, The chemical you are using that contains muriatic... is it something sunbrite sells? I cleaned a brick home recently and could not get the red clay stains out of the brick. Thanks, Mike

Awesome Job Adrian! Mike

So are we!! 3 girls and 1 boy. Mike

Congrats Jeff!! I wish you and your family the best. Mike

Thanks Ken! Listing looks very nice and professional. Thanks for using my logo as well. Thanks! Mike

Ken, Great idea with the signs. You don't miss a marketing opportunity! Mike

I just started playing a few years ago. I'm terrible at the game but find it challenging and fun! Mike

Exactly. Cover youself. Takes notes, pictures, etc...

Jon, What are the details on this leak? Can't be much of a leak. Seems like it might be cheaper in the long run to higher a roofer to repair the leak instead of turning in on your insurance. Mike

Hey Welsey, New rig looks nice. Did you get rid of your box truck or is this new trailer an addition to your fleet? If you got rid of the box truck then why did you change? Thanks, Mike

Yes it is true as others have said. I think other factors can cause the seals to break as well. I have 2 windows on my own house that have broken seals and the fog between the panes. These seals broke before I ever got into pressure washing and before I ever washed my own house. Bottom line is use very little pressure on the windows. I use a dual-lance wand as others have mentioned in order to dial back the pressure. Mike

Wouldn't they need a boat load of contracts to justify that price??

I think he is saying "Free of Charge". Mike

Hi Philip, Congrats! Quiting smoking can be difficult from what I hear. This deserves a pat on the back. Mike

Then clean the one unit at the higher rate as her demo. She can have the rest at the discount if she wants. Mike

Rick, Where can you buy the Back to Nature and Biowash strippers? Thanks, Mike

Hello, Got a call to do a house wash. The house is all brick with the usual white trim. The brick on this house looks very different. It appears to have a coating on it. The brick looks almost white and you can see faint hints of the red brick underneath because the white top layer is of random thickness. What do you call this type of brick? Will my housewash mix (PowerHouse & 12%) harm the brick exterior coating? My thoughts were to prewet each side. Apply my house wash mix lightly on the brick and normally on all trim and gutters. Allow the mix to dwell and rinse, rinse, rinse! In addition I would use very light pressure for the whole wash. There are some red clay stains and possibly a water rust stain that runs down the wall below the faucet. Would a light acid be needed for those places? Would the acid harm this brick/coating? Thanks in advance, Mike

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. Once I saw this brick up close I knew that very light pressure is going to be the only way to go. Thanks for the info about the house wash and acid use as well. That's really what I'm look for is confirmation from others that my house wash mix will not damage this surface. Thanks, Mike

This isn't a water sealer in my case. The brick was made this way. It is what I would call a decorative brick. Brick itself is really not dirty but in a few places. Really want to make sure that my chems won't harm this brick. Thanks, Mike

Hi everyone, Got a call to have 2 decks cleaned, sanded, and painted. Got there and the decks appear to have been painted before. Not sure if it is a paint or a solid stain. The painting was done by the prior homeowner. I'm looking for suggestions from others who have tried to tackle jobs such as this. What would you use to strip this? Would you recommend trying to strip this or would you do a heavy cleaning, sanding, and repaint given the current condition of the wood? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, Mike

Jonathan, I agree that doing a full strip and prep for a semi would be an absolute nightmare. Mike

This is exactly what i want to avoid. Homeowner knows that another solid will have to be done. I just need to make sure that I do the proper prep on this deck to accept the primer and a new solid. Mike

Hi Ken, Thanks for the response. I told the homeowner that using a semi-trans was out of the question. I'm going back tomorrow to do a test spot with HD-80 at full strength and see what I get. If it doesn't budge...what would you use to prime and recoat? My kids went along as my little helpers!! Homeowner tried to give them sandpaper and put them to work! Thanks, Mike

Hi Neil, I have version of it prior to the Triton. Mine is green, Rapid Reel Pro Series. Pretty much the same as the picture, 4 wheels, handles, and mine has a metal tool tray in the bottom. Haven't had any problems and quality seems good. It is pretty heavy duty. I paid around $150 off ebay for mine. Mike

What chemical would you use to do a light cleaning of a tennis court? The court is going to be resurfaced next year. Just wanting to do a light rinse really. I was thinking I would use my house wash mix ( PowerHouse + 12%), xjet it on, dwell, and rinse. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Mike
