bulletproof

Thought I was the only one that can't see the pics.

Dale, I use the same mixture as you , but I sometimes use the green power in place of the citracleen same amount. It does a great job also, but I fancy that it rinses alot easier. I use 10% pool chlorine instead of 12%

I agree Monday is good and the topic is a very interesting one.

I think that's where a good digital camera comes in. When I do estimates and the owner can't be there, I snap a few photos of damage or problem areas and make a note or arrow on the pic. I then attach them to the estimate. When we talk again via phone we go over it and I draw ref. to the photo

I am very glad to hear that you're son is safe and healthy Reed. You know, where I live we have not been directly effected by the devastation of terrorism. Only as it relates to it's effects on the economy and still then it's more talked about than felt . No massive lay offs or cruise ships and planes stop coming here. I get in conversations here with people who feel that this war is pointless and your President is just on an ego trip or that it's really all over oil. I would just like for maybe a few of you to briefly state your opinions on this war, what it means to you, and how it has effected you. I'm not trying to offend anyone, just trying to get a better understanding other than what I hear on the news from the "experts".

I agree with you guys Ron is a typing encyclopedia. Now if he could only check his pm's

This debate is puzzling to me because like Rob has said and since I joined this and every other board the phrase that has been repeated over and over is that chems clean and water just rinses. How much difference can hot water actually make. It has been said that you wash dishes and clothing with hot water but I know from experience that hot water helps to fade clothing faster and for the dishes thing to have relevance in this field you would have to mix your chems and apply with hot water

Paul ,those were some good points :groovy2: :groovy2:

Would cold water be acceptable on residential concrete just basic cleaning maybe a few oil spots, tire marks, etc. ? After all it's the chems that clean - isn't it?

lmao that's a good one

thanks for pointing me to the manual I printed it out . The squeggee off is great

I always read that squegeeing is the fastest way to clean windows, but I have trouble with streaking when I use this method. I am convinced it is my technique though. Can someone say the best technique to use when doing windows this way. I use squeggee off cleaning solution

so - after I get all these parts in the list how do I put it all together?:confused:

Have a job coming up in a few days to clean a house with stucco siding. What I want opinions on is wether or not my usual houswash recipe of jomax,simple green , bleach, joy and cascade is safe to use on this siding. Wish I had some other type of chems to use but where I live these are the best of whats available

where do you get the hurricane brush from and how much is it

good one - can't pull the wool over mom's eyes. lmao

what is naoci

tough decision i like them both

what was the new mix if you don't mind

Most of my window cleaning is residential, which I have divided into several sub services which includes new construction. In this I clean and remove the stickers masonry and paint from the windows and do the same for the entire exterior frame. We had one such job last weekend and upon completion, the customer was extremely pleased with the job. On Monday past , when the construction guys working on the second story of the house came in one of them told her that a construction company that he used to work for normaly did the windows on completion and did the interior frame of the windows in addition to the exterior. She questioned us on this. I explained to her that we had done as our contract indicated and we would charge extra if she had wanted us to do the interior frame. She understood this and explained that she only wanted to know our stance on it. What I would like to know is : if any of you guys out there are doing this do you include the interior frame of the windows in your initial price or do it as an additional service. Even if you aren't I would still like your views

I agree with you about knowing how to calculate the ratios, Ionly asked the question to get your take on the whole thing. It's nice to know that some people are able to back up their statements with knowledge and speak from experience.

Why do you advise on "ditching the proportioner kit"? Isn't it supposed to be more advantageous as far as "frustration and time" as opposed to calculating it yourself.

Guys, I would like to know what the difference is between this and sodium hypochlorite? I know that pool guys normaly use this to clean and kill bacteria but can this be used as a house wash/ mildew removing agent , and if so, what is a safe proportion to use it . Just for further info, it comes in crystalized form.:confused:

I know that most persons here wear some type of uniform when on a job site that sports your company logo, but what do you wear to protect your clothing from either being bleached by the chlorine or damaged by some other chemical.Especially the roof, gutter and house washing guys that shoot chems in an upward direction

anyone know where I can get a schematic on how to run the pump like how it is in the picture?:confused:
