If and when I do, I inform them that it's not gonna look like new. Ask them what there expectations are when it's done. Inform them of the oxidation factor like Guy mentioned.

What's up with the talk of Pool Chem's? or are you guy's refering to good old 12% S.H. ?
-
Why no bleach??? Bleach good. Make bad dirt go away. :)
-
I really do hope it works out good for you as you have put alot of thought into it, BUT I'M STILL DOWNSTREAMIN :)

Cool. Another secret weapon to use when all else fails

This season I have added Wondow cleaning as a service. I started out by using a squeege & ladder for 2nd flr windows, then moved on to an extension pole and recently have purchased a W.F.P. set up. Man what a great investment the W.F.P. was. It has cut my window cleaning time down to half of what it was. It does not compare to lugging a ladder around the house. One thing I also realized is that it has it's place & not good for all window job's (very dirty window ). If you are thinking about getting one I can tell you that you won't regret it. Yes they cost alot but IMO a great investment.

I am a ladder and bucket guy too. A lot less mess and you are certain to get everything out, like golf and tennis balls.I keep all of those

You can go to (window's 101) website. They have some good guttercleaning tools.

Yeah What Doug said. Hi Doug

Yup we need A lic & mimimum Of ONE MILL liability insurance. Oh and to renew our Lic every 2 yrs is $250

I apply the chem's with a soap blaster tip then remove the siphon tube from the chem bucket & rinse with the same tip. It's very low pressure and I feel very confadent that no damage will occur to my customer's homes. It's not the fastest way to go but I'm happy and so are the H.Owners.
-
Think of it this way. Why would you want to use a product that a H.O. can out and purchase themselves at a hardware store. As professional contractors we use commercial grade cleaning chemicals. And as Doug said it best nothing beats S.H. (bleach)
-
Try A chemical supplier or a pool supply store in your area. If you must you can get by with 6 % S.H. Just don't dilute it as much

Give them plant's, tree's, flower's & shrubs a good watering before during and after housewashing

I'm not knocking gutter cleaning tool but IMO the best way to clean a gutter is to go up a ladder and remove all the gunk by hand into a bucket. I also bought one of those gutter attachment's from the depo ( probably the same one ). when I used pressure to clean a gutter it made a huge mess that you have to go back to and clean up (time consuming ). I personally think it's easier to clean by hand or with a gutter scooper and use a garden hose to rinse and test out the down spouts. Just my thought's and experience's. Best of luck to you.

Call Bob at Pressure Tek. He will get you exactly what you need. Explain to him what you are looking to do.

The more grease the better the flavor. Grease add's character
-
Ask the H.O. Exactly what the product was, Do some research on it or call the company & find out the best way to go about this. If different chemicals just keep getting doused on the siding it may just do more damage. Just my opinion though. Good Luck

If you do a search and put alot of time and effort in reading all the info on this and other sites you will find a welth of information. The answers to all the questions you ask are here.

When you guy's end up with water spots on glass, do you squeeqe them or just wipe with a lite free rag? I just had a job where the H.O. was very adamente about spotless windows. I used a squeege & she was happy. Collected $ & said thank you.

Hello boy's & girl's. I was wondering if I can get some input? I asked 3 different friends how they would measure to get the square footage of a home and I got 3 different answer's. 1st was Lenght x Height. 2nd was Lenght x width x Height. 3rd was Lenght x Width. Which method do most of you guy's use? I thought it was Lenght x width x height.

I have had 2 customers that only wanted 1 side of the house washed. I did the job's . Is that something that is common ?
