The title in your above post that I and many others have a problem with Robert saying that that gas station is typical and that it is typical pollution from mobile contract cleaners, I don't see any that bad in my area and when I travel around the country to conventions and round tables each year, sometimes 4 to 6 times a year in the past, that is not a typical gas station at all from what I have seen all around the country, so that is not a typical gas station or typical stains.
WE ARE NOT POLLUTERS, WE CLEAN UP THE POLLUTION.
The pollution is there, it is pre-existing, we just properly remove it.
There probably have been contractors in the past, maybe even now that did the wrong thing but we as an industry are trying to change things so we are looked upon with some respect and help people out there to understand that we are the solution to the pollution, we did not put it there, we are removing it before the rain can wash it into the US waterways and contaminate them.
I Seriously would change that title as it is not helping us all with our image, it sounds scary and I think it would scare people if they read it. I am not sure if it was meant to be scary but it does have that affect.
From a contractor's point of view, your title is making it sound like all contractors are polluters when we all are cleaning up the pollution and making the environment a lot cleaner place for us, our families and our children. I think it is safe to say that most of all mobile contract cleaners are doing the right thing these days but we all are trying to make the world a cleaner place for everyone by properly cleaning up pre-existing situations and making them safer for everyone.
I really don't see the benefit in that choice of title, maybe you can tell me why you chose to use that title instead of something like, "Mobile Contract Cleaners can remove these stains, chemical residue and other pre-existing pollution from the surface and properly process and dispose of the wash water" ? ? ? Not trying to bash you or start an argument here, just wondering why the title? ? ?
I think that the current group of contract cleaners are many, many times more conscious of the cleaning we do, the issues we face and the potential problems we face if we do the wrong thing compared to the contract cleaners of 10, 15, 20 years ago so we need to help educate the public, not scare them into understanding what we do, the pollution we remove (we do not create pollution, we remove it to make the area safe for everyone) and how we make the environment cleaner and to help maintain the cleanliness for our customers.
There are so many leaky cars on the road, most probably will never get the leaks fixed for one or more reasons so we are there to properly clean the area and make it safe for everyone so that this stuff does not go into the US Waterways when it rains. When we clean up these situations we are removing leaky car pollution (we are not leaky cars and do not cause the pollution, we clean and remove the pollution) and helping the environment to be a cleaner place for everyone.
There are other pre-existing pollutants on properties that you listed that we as mobile contract cleaners can properly remove to leave the properties cleaner and pollution-free and safe for everyone. We need to educate the public that we are removing the pre-existing pollution, we are not causing the pre-existing pollution, I think we all can agree that we are cleaning up the pre-existing pollution and properly processing it and disposing of it properly.
If there are people out there doing the wrong thing after all this time, they need to be educated but if they are not-caring or repeat offenders then it is time for the authorities to get involved and handle them as they are a problem not only for us, the community but also the environment as well.
