Central Texas Pressure Washing
I just wanted to echo the sentiments of so many. This board has been an invaluable source for my buddy and me as we have researched this industry. We have put together our business plan, made arrangements for insurance, decided on what equipment to begin with and had many other questions answered just by reading so much good advice from you guys. I am beginning the marketing and sales part to establish a customer base and have had very positive feedback. I believe it is due to having confidence in what we will be able to do with this business. I look forward to spending much time asking questions and sharing ideas with all of you.
May God bless you and your families.

Hiya Folks,
I'm pretty new to this whole pressure washing thing in fact brand new!
I've just got a little portable unit for washing houses, concrete decks, etc.
I'm pleased to make your acquaintance , and humbly submit to your knowledge and experience to help guide me, after my Lords leading first of course.
Any way I just wanted to introduce myself.

Hello everyone,
I recently found this site and have been very impressed with the information - but more importantly the willingness and spirit of each person to help, advise and give direction/input from their own experience.
Last year I sold my large print digital graphics design, print and application company. Since part of our application process was preparing the site for application it was a natural fit to begin a PW and Window Washing business. I have enjoyed the work and the customers I have worked with so far and I am looking forward to seeing the business grow.
I am not sure who maintains this sight - but thanks for all your efforts and hard work - it is a great benefit and association!

Hey Ladies and Gents,
My name is Ray and the owner of GK Pressure Cleaning Inc. We are located in Delray Beach, Florida. Been in the biz since 1992 and still surviving. It's nice to see that everyone shares info and weird to here some people say they have no competitors. Your lucky. We here have atleast a couple of guys everyday, if not more, that buy a machine and in business without proper knowledge and low balling jobs real bad. The mold here grows like grass and there is lots of work cause of the millions of homes being built. The cost of living is getting insane but the sunshine is nice. (except when on a roof in the summer ) :burn: Hope to be able to help but usually we are quiet with things that benifit us, cause of the amount of pressure cleaners that we have here. Their everywhere. Anyway I am glad to see ya'll working for yourself. There is a great feeling in working when you want, fishing when you need to, and paying your bills and still having money to play !!!!!!!! I'm working on a Web page and hope it helps. Thanks for all of your time and info! Ray C. [hello]

Hi Mark,
I have purchased an older steam cleaner made by the American Kleaner company, which was founded in 1934 The model I have is an American Kleaner Hornet 2000, on a small trailer, kerosene powered with a 110v electric motor.
I have been looking everywhere to find information on it, or on steam cleaners in general, especially safety procedures and tips for mainbtenance. This steam cleaner has a Cat pump , a friend thinks it's a 280-type. Plundefined plus it comes with a soap tank as well.
I am having a local shop in Michigan go over it to ensure it is safe. I did not see a pressure relief valve on it anywhere. I built a lot of air compressor unitsa in the past and pressure relief is something you always watch.
My e-mail address is: cw4dtu@wideopenwest.com, and anyone who has any suggestions or copies of a manual would be welcomne.
I don't expect anything for free, and would be glad to pay for Xerox copies. I called American Kleaner, which is now owned by Karcher, but the are not able to give me any support when I asked to buy manuals, Xerox pages, specs, etc.
This machine was previously used by a company in Wisconsin to steam clean VW engines, and I will be using it for other similar work. I am also interested in general tips on maintenance and safety, and any publications along those lines.
Thanks,
Darryl Urcheck
