Any body go after this kind of business. I saw a thread on something along this type of work a long time ago but cant find again. Im thinking my sales pitch would be that they need cleaned because of apearance issues and would get more new kid enrollments but most of all the health issue thing. Ill present to them what kind of germs and nasty stuff is on those equipment and cleaning can substantialy decrease sick kids in their daycare which in turn creates more business because kids dont have to stay at home. Im hopping to get price ideas or how much time it would take. I will be using SH and a soap and rinse real well. I will also try to push the maintanance program on them. Guys that have done this kind of biz what do you think is sufficient, monthly, quarterly, annually?

I use a zip tie on my surface cleaner. Keep it a litte loose, slide it to the bottom and it holds the trigger down, slide it up and it let's go of the trigger.

Advice on Possible Set Up
FLORIN replied to Jamesa37's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
3700 PSI Pressure washer also here is one I would jump on and its hot water commercial hot/cold water pressure washer Good luck. P.S. I am not trying to bust your balls.... I just suggest you spend your money elsewhere like marketing or insurance rather than a shiny rig. If you cant get the jobs that rig will stay shiny for along time or at least when you go and put it on Craigslist yourself with a header- "Pressure washing rig for sale...Barely used" -

I myself would say it is not such a good deal. You can build that exact setup for half or less. That exact tank you can get from a chemical place for $50. Pressure washer $700 new but I would go on CL and get a used one instead. Trailer am sure can get pretty cheap especially on your side of the world. Get a few tie down straps and WALLA... you got the same setup. -
Why not bleach? I have used it with a 30/70 sh to water mix just sprayed on from gutter line then rinsed and it came out awesome. No scrubbing.

I have never had trouble with strong house wash mix. I usually xjet straight mix on the spots. With vinyl it came out spotless. With painted surfaces it left a shadow but that is where the egg enzymes ate thru the paint. Never tried heat though.

Is this a newbie thing? Dress attire for pressure washing
FLORIN replied to Phil Rogers's question in Residential Pressure Washing
After you put some time in you will figure out your best angles to not get drenched. Even then I still wear boots and rain bibs. A quick rinse when done and its all good.... ready for the next job. Keep a pair of shoes in the van if I have an estimate middday and I take the rain gear off and I look somewhat presentable. -

How much did it cost you to start?
FLORIN replied to Little Buddy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I started by borrowing the company that I worked for machine "to wash my house". I maxed out my cedit card that had $250 on it on a professional logo and biz cards. I went door to door and passed out a card to anyone in arms reach. Used the company's washer for 7 weekends in a row and got enough cash to buy a VERY used rig from a rental place. First year part time(every weekend) I made 33k. This is my first year full time since April 1st. Gonna break 100k easily. -

Pawn Shop Junkie !!!!
FLORIN replied to Adrian's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Love that show. Never knew people actually pawned boats and planes. I like going to pawn shops also buts its getting harder and harder to find a really good deal. The pawn shop people are able to find the retail value of an item easily and they price it just a little bit under that. Its hard to find an item that they screwed up and did not know value and priced it low. -
haha. I love that machine. I hardly ever use my Landa anymore except for when I need hot water. I picked the setup off of CL for 800 bucks. Its amazing what higher gpms means for our line of work. I am definately getting popeye arms holding on to the wand. And the surface cleaner helicopters up so I had to install a weight on it to keep from flying.
