    Working at night

    I would like to work more at night. We are going to have to work at night on sunday and the mgr is going to try to leave the lights on for us. What kind of lighting do you use when the big lights arent going to be on?

    Just want to give kudos to Russ

    I'm about 4 hours away from Russ but I called him on Sunday to order a spray bar and he told me it would be here today (tuesday). When I got back from the gym this morning there was a package on my front porch with a spray bar. I could order something on Amazon and get it here that quick but it...

    What is your weather restriction?

    This winter is killing me. Ive got 3 jobs monday, two first timers and the high is 34 and it is supposed to snow. We went out the other morning and I knew it was going to be cold but the high that day was in the forties so I wasnt too concerned. We were finishing about 30 minutes before the...

    Gas Station Sales?

    Would anyone give me some advice for sales to gas stations? I know some on here wash a lot of them. Is it similar to property management, it seems like a lot of them the decision maker is not on site.

    Postcards

    Looking at postcards. How does the mailing work on them if you do it yourself? It looks like to do bulk you have to get license and renew each year. http://postcalc.usps.com/Postcards.aspx that looks like there is a cheaper rate for postcards than the price of a stamp but how does that work...

    Blowing out backwards?

    Will it do any harm to blow out my stuff from the end of my high pressure hose. The nipple of my air compressure blower attachment fits into the male qc end on the high pressure hose. This is the opposite direction of the normal water flow so could that cause any problem?

    Will adding 50' of hose make a difference?

    I have two reels with 150' each. We dont use both at the same time much and when we do usually one is closer to the trailer and one is using the full length of hose. An extra 50' of hose would be nice so Im thinking of taking 50' of one and moving to the other but I know there will be a pressure...

    What am I doing wrong?

    The second two are AFTERS! What is this at the door. I did this this morning and went back this afternoon and there was a woman sitting out on her break who said, "really needs some good pressure washing doesnt it". I have never seen anyone else posting pictures like this but I have had trouble...

    Old rubberized grease

    Got a restaurant that has caked on grease around their grease bin. It's thick. Its hard like tire rubber. I was hitting it with ebc and scrubbing then letting it sit then just holding the heat on it. I was using a #3 tip on my 8.7gpm to get all the heat I could. I could tell it was getting...

    Oil Removal Expectations

    Just got back. The reason I went back btw is some miscommunication about what all the mgr wanted, Bid right for what I thought she wanted, bid low for what I did, but shes happy now so live and learn. while there I hit it with some stronger ebc and didnt see any change. What about the stains...

    Preventing pipes from freezing

    The cold got me the other day. I forgot to turn the water on when I left the house and when I came home it was frozen. Turned out to be the meter so it was the utility's problem. How does one keep pipes from freezing? Turning them on to a drip works but its kind of a pain and if I forget...

    Willing manager, but not decision maker

    I am dealing with a mgr right now. She is a gm but manages a store with about a dozen location in our cleaning area. They are all doing the washing themselves, and monthly. She liked my proposal and was excited about it. Only problem is she isnt the decision maker. I stopped by today and she...

    How do you was cluttered sidewalks?

    e.g. Lowes and Home Depot where there are lawnmowers or other equipment on the front walk. Do you clean around it, have them move stuff? Anybody got a Lowes or HD on a maintenance?

    Why would store mgr hide prop mgr info?

    Maybe I missed the golden time of year to solicit PMs, but late is better than never. I stopped into a restaurant today in a shopping center. The place looked bad but its in a nice area. I asked the manager if she had info for PM. She said she had name but no number then she left to get it. She...
