I am new to the business and recently have had an opportunity to clean some 2 story houses here where I live. I have stumbled onto an entire neighborhood that is in need of house cleaning. Apparently, no PW Contractors have hit this particualar neighborhood. Anyway, I have cleaned a couple of two stories already and they look great, but I know I need to streamline things in order to make any real money here. I am using a 3500 PSI machine (working pressure only about 1500 PSI) with a 18' extension. I have never cleaned houses before but to start I used Jomax & followed the instructions. The slow part was applying the cleaner, I used a pump sprayer and accessed most of the second story off of an extension ladder. I know you all are probably smirking at me but I'm just getting started here. Everyone raves about the X-Jet. I am going to purchase one in the next few days but I'm not sure I'd know how to use it when I got it @#$! Can anybody walk me through the basic process of using the X-Jet as it pertains to house cleaning ? I would be most grateful. I've only done two houses in this particular neighborhood and already I have 15 people lined up in the next few weeks(with more to come). I would like to actually make money at this and not look like a complete FOOL doing it !! HELP..........PLEASE !!

What flat surface cleaning equipment do you recommend? Can you recommend any that will be a good fit for both smaller residental jobs and at the same time, larger commercial jobs ?

What type of flat surface cleaners do you recommend. Manufacturer ?

Has anybody ever used ICI(Dulux Paint) WoodPride Exterior Stains ? I was considering using their Deck/Siding(solventborne) stain on an upcoming deck/fence job ? I am new in the business and would appreciate any feedback. I was going to go with a Graco airless sprayer.........any particular tips I should be using ?

Who manufactures HD80 ? I am also new to the business. Is HD80 used for fences, decks, houses ??
