Yeah, I wanted to avoid bleach or chlorine... It's mostly covered with tree pollen. I can't imagine having to replace that awning... I was considering downstreaming bleach, but was hoping someone here might know of a better cleaner for the material... Rob

Hey guys, What cleaner would you use for cleaning canopies and awnings? I've got a job cleaning old and new canvas-type awnings and canopies... One is 255 square feet long.... I intend to use as little pressure on them as possible... I also don't want to use any harsh chemical that...

Wow, I didn't realize my question would cause such a response! Well, I told him I would do the job for $400 a month, washing them every two weeks. I took the advice of not giving him a weeking price, but did say if he chose go to weekly, I could give him a 20% discount.... It took me...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can give me some tips on making a fire hose water diverter? I have 50 feet of fire hose... It has the brass fitings at the end. (I'd like to cut those suckers off first chance because they are HEAVY...) So I've heard people fill them up with sand part...

Well, I talked to the owner on the phone today and asked him exactly what he wanted cleaned... He said (2) 16 ft trucks, (1) Tractor Trailer, and (1) Van... Plus the store front and concrete every once in a while... I know the old company that did this for him quit because they said...

Okay, this is my second attempt at posting... I included pics before but they have to be so small none of them will make it on the page... I was just asked to wash a local Produce Store and do the concrete outside... They would also like me to do 6 trucks they have, once or twice a week. I...

Thanks.... That's what I ended up using. It came out well... Of course, that's assuming you consider Dawn a degreaser. ;-) Thanks again! Rob

Okay, I've seen a lot of posts on Cedar houses regarding cleaning/stripping and resealing. My question however is just what to use for simply cleaning the exterior of a cedar home. It has shingles/slats of cedar so I'm going to use 800 psi of pressure and I am considering using Jomax versus...

Okay, I've been reading through the old posts and I know that people have asked this question before, however I am trying to find out how to clean red brick houses that are not new. Also, I don't want to use muratic acid. I've seen Sure Kleen 600 by Prosoco suggested for cleaning brick, but...

Wow, you guys are awesome. I would have never thought about the hot hoses killing grass until I screwed up one of these expensive places. They'd have wanted me to re-sod their lawn no doubt. lol... Thanks for all the great tips... Yeah, fire hoses are way expensive. Not sure what other...

Orangecrest, I saw the diverter you made... I can't find anything on the "fire hoses" that other people use?? Can you explain how that works and maybe an idea of where to get them? Thanks, Rob

Hi all, I know that hot water is better than cold, but I just want to start off doing residential houses, driveways, and sidewalks. I can get a 13 HP 4 GPM 3500 machine for $1099 Direct Drive or $1269 Belt Drive (both with general pumps). I can also get this as a hot setup (12 Volt) for...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows of a good insurance company offering Business Insurance for PWing in NY state? I have called the local places in the phone book, done the internet searches, and even called some of the places people suggested outside the state on this board, but so far...
