    Need Distributors for New Product

    Honestly I think both are too busy, list benefits more prominently, instead of the product name and logo. If it works well word will spread about it quickly. I'll try a sample of it if your still looking for volunteers.

    LM FlUORESCENTS REMOVAL

    When it's wet, does it dissapear? If so it's effloresence. If not, it's probably a lime buildup. Use an acid based chem like prosoco's light duty concrete cleaner or heavy duty restoration cleaner. One of those should take it off very easily.

    Powerwashing business questions

    Same advice I gave before, don't do it. Why not turn him into a commissioned sales person instead? Pay him a percentage of the jobs he refers you and maybe hire him on part time if you need help. Or better yet, get some other guys from your dorm to help. Most importantly though, learn the...

    Powerwashing business questions

    Don't Do It...... I've been in business for 20 years and I can't think of one partnership lasting more than a few years. Which by the way is just long enough to build up the company, buy lots of equipment and make some good money. When the partnership splits up both sides lose. Why not...

    Pressure Washer Info

    Hot waters nice but a 4gpm unit is more for kitchen exhaust cleaning, not residential washing. See if you can put a larger pump on it for 5gpm.

    House Washing

    Hey Henry!!! Pricing is usually a $1 a linear foot, per story. If you use heat on houses don't use more than 120 degrees. We use Power House and SH for house washing. If you have any more questions give me a call.

    Chemical Tips

    Chlorine will help kill it but use a good house wash too as a surfactant. SH will kill mold but it's not a cleaner so it won't do anything to help remove dirt.

    Water recovery question

    Does the station have a car wash or an oil water seperator in their garage that you can dump into?

    Water recovery question

    That will depend on the water treatment authority that treats the sewer water. Some may require you to have a point discharge permit to do so and they may require water testing as before they approve it. In my area there's a $2,500 fee per location for a discharge permit.

    advise on a bid !!

    I've done quite a few jobs like this and I priced it by SQFT. The biggest problems you may face in these types of jobs are: Power and water don't mix! Is the power on, are outlets covered? What are you removing? Have you tried multiple test spots? How empty is it, will you have to wait...
