    Do you add the surfactant right into the degreaser?

    From sidewalk to roof

    Hi everyone! I have for the most part stuck to side walks and trash enclosures. I have a Rubys that I do on a weekly basis and they just asked me if I could do there roof/awning. It is painted aluminum. I did a test spot with just a warm rinse and it got it pretty clean but there was still...

    surface cleaner pressure?

    Well when I ran it today I was pushing about 220 degrees. My machine can heat up to 250 though. I did not use any chems. It seemed to get the concrete pretty clean, but I think I was moving a little too slow. Another question; I would go forward down the driveway and then walk backward going...

    surface cleaner pressure?

    Thanks for the advise Jim! I tried it out on my driveway today before I use it tonight on a job... I did notice a little bit of stripeing, I will definitely have to figure that out! My driveway was poured a year ago so I didn't try out the 1500 tips yet, I need to find another spot to practice...

    surface cleaner pressure?

    Hello everyone! Up until recently I have only used a wand and a variety of nozzles for flat work. I just purchased my first surface cleaner (ww classic). My machine is 3500 Psi 5.5 gpm hot water. When I use a wand I usually only use between 2,000 and 2,500 Psi. When using the surface...

    Brick Flooring

    Hey Carlos, I am not sure... the property manager didn't seem to know.. All they have been doing is hosing it down and scrubbing with a broom.

    Brick Flooring

    Ok, so I went back and took some pics of the brick... There seems to be some white stuff on them?? Some areas look water stained and some spots that are bright white have a powdery feel to it. Not sure what type of brick this is? Can you tell from the pictures if I could use a turbo nozzle or...

    Brick Flooring

    Hi everyone!! I got a call today to bid sidewalk cleaning at a small shopping center... Most of the sidewalk is concrete, but there are a few store fronts that have cheap red brick as the flooring. Can I use a surface cleaner on the brick like any other concrete? Or does brick have to be...

    My first PW

    Thank you both for suggestion... I will give mark a call next week. I was a little hesitant anyway because it is 4.5 gpm and I really wanted over 5, guess I got excited about the brand. Thanks again! Kevin

    My first PW

    Hi Ken, I am in the process of looking for a new unit. I found a Hotsy on Craigslist and it is about three years old. The guy isn't the original owner so he wasn't sure how many hours are on it. It isn't leaking water anywhere, and the oil looks clean but is it worth it to spend $3,000 on a...
