daryl 14 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 Hey guys I’m trying to get into making my own cleaning solutions or find something to boost what I’m currently using. Do anybody have any suggestion. I’m getting tried of buying samples that don’t work or you don’t get enough of to do anything with . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil_Asheville 114 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 a huge competitive advantage, Daryl, will be your willingness to use chems formulated specifically for the line of work you plan to do purchased through vendors that have supported and helped build the businesses of your peers here. When you use materials readily available to everyone you lose with it the ability to position your biz over the next one. Using specialty chems helps you sell on value. They're buying on your credibility and willingness to invest in your business. Vendors call them samples for a reason. You try, you like, you buy, you support their business. There are thousands of posts here about good chems with real folks getting real results. Unless you've given all chems a fair shot and truly aren't happy with results, save your money and tons of time and buy from a supplier. Good luck with that... /neil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry B 55 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 What are you washing? Companies spend money developing formulas so they tend to be a fairly guarded comodidity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Celeste 341 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 I have to agree with Neil and Larry - mixing your own chems at this stage of the game is time wasted when you could be making money :) You also have liability issues when you mix your own that are alleviated by buying distinctly formulated products from manufacturers :) Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry B 55 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 There really is no "1 chem cleans it all" product. What are you cleaning and what have you tried? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl 14 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 I’m doing house washing, roofs and gutters walk ways, patios, wood fence and decks and concrete I would like to start doing commercial work on a regular if I could. The chems are joe max, pannel cleaner an some soap call k109 i buy from a loacl pressure washing dealer. they dont carry a big selection of cleaning produts that are distinctly formulated.Now they will sell you some car washing soap in a heart beat I dont do cars at this time.I dont like washing my own. Give me a roof or fence or deck etc an im on it like a pit bull. Larry Celeste PM me a list of chemical stores that i should look into. Thx Daryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Specialized 14 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 If you want reliable chems try http://www.rowlettpressure.com/ he is even located in Ten. I think its someplace called Smyrna(?). I dont know how close that is to you but he wont steer you wrong with his chems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry B 55 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 I have heard good things about rowletts as well. You could look at Sunbrite Supply, they are a sponsor and give a discount when you click on their link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
