    How do you make money cleaning hoods?

    Burner problems

    I'm getting no spark on my ignitor. The fan blows and fuel squirts out but it won't lite. I pulled the burner unit out(fan, ignitor, fuel injector) and fired up my p/w. The fan would blow and I could see it squirt fuel but it wouldn't lite. I cleaned the electrodes and adjusted them...

    Changing my name.

    I currently call my business "Kelly's Mobile Wash." I started using the name when I first started because I was just washing trucks. Now I want to expand my business into other areas, decks, houses, etc. Does anybody have any suggestions or does my current name sound good enough?

    cleaner ratio

    Clearing the deck

    Cleaner Supplier

    Does anyone know of anybody who sells deck cleaning supplies near me? I live 2 hours south of KC, MO 1hr north of Joplin, Mo and 1.5hrs NW of Springfield, Mo. I know Pressure Washer Zone and Sunbrite sells stuff but I'm afraid that the shipping would kill me. I'm really interested in Wood Tux.
