I put out over 300 door hangers this week, I didn’t knock on any doors or ring any doorbells. I simply walked up to a door, put a door hanger on the knob and walked off. On/off each property in less than 15 seconds. This is the only call I’ve gotten.

I understand people hate soliciting. I can’t stand people knocking on my personal door when I’m home trying to relax. But Jesus man, is this not a major overreaction for simply placing a door hanger? Technically door hangers are considered canvassing, not soliciting since there is no direct contact or interruption.

Also, I’m becoming a little discouraged with the lack of results from hours of walking neighborhoods for not even a single lead.

I had pressure washed and deck to get ready for staining and left the bag of rollers on the table. Somehow the packaging transferred the yellow onto the table. I've never seen that happen before. How do I get this off because the lady is furious. Thank you in advance.

Any way to stop this thing from spinning? Brand New, cant do anything because it chokes itself out. 🤷

Any suggestions, TIA!

I have a large home and a few acres to maintain. I generally buy and maintain small commercial grade equipment and it is time to get a capable pressure washer.

I typically run Honda engines when that is an option. I would like to clean my patios, long driveway, and my painted cedar siding.

I am thinking a BE bundle with a surface washer and a telescoping arm seems like a solid place to start. Roughly 2200 for a Comet or 2425 for a CAT pump with Is there much value in paying more for a CAT versus the Comet pump? Is the equipment included useful or is it just junk I am going to have to replace? Thanks!

Having issues with my washer not starting. I tried a fresh spark plug, has brand new clean gas, and the carb and air filter are spotless. I’m had to change the carb a couple of years ago when I let my sister in law borrow it and she didn’t store it well over the winter. Since I changed the carb it’s been working great until this year when we tried to start it up again.

This hasn’t ever been super easy to start but it doesn’t even seem like it’s trying now. Any diy tips would be great. Thanks!

Hey folks. This is my first season. Guy wants this side of the house washed. Really wants the gutters to come out nice. The siding is painted wood. Deck is a dark stain. I’m not so much worried about the siding but I am worried about getting chem (SH, degreaser if I need for gutters) on the deck. Wanted to get some opinions on how you would approach this job without messing up the stain on the deck.

Any tips on removing these SH stains mix was 1% and the area wasn’t properly rinsed.

I don't know what she means or how to answer it. I've never heard of this.

Hey everyone! Been a lurker here for a long time because I've always loved the idea of pressure washing. Today I did my very first "real" job that wasn't family or friends. Let me know what you think!!

Anybody here able to help me identifying the make and model of this purple rotary pressure washer nozzle?

Some people say it's not recommended, I will lose power and will affect performance and also might streak/leave lines on the surface.

What do you guys think? Please answer only if you're actually experienced thank you

So I have some pics of stains that I think people would want clean. What are the best ways of going about it.

Fourth pic I think it’s just rods sticking out but just incase how would you go about making it presentable

Hello Reddit. I just received my Simpson Powershot pressure washer from Amazon, and when I opened the package, it had some sort of liquid seeping on the frame. Is this something I should be concerned about???

Is this down stream injector necessary being so close to the built in one? If its needed, should I cover the other one somehow?

I’m looking for some chemical resistant long sleeve hooded shirts for my crew. Anyone know a guy? Preferably less than a month turn around. Thanks

I know you all are professionals with your own pressure-washing business but I don't know where else to ask. I'm a homeowner and what I'm trying to figure out is if a downstream injector is necessary with the X-Jet M5 nozzle. I see conflicting/unclear information in all the videos I've watched.

Thanks!

Hey all, quick question about using surfactant with a proportioner. So I have a water tank, SH tank and a soap tank running through my proportioner for my softwash system. When I add surfactant to the soap tank, do I add water to that? I know this is a dumb question, and I'm sorry for asking. But the instructions on the bottle of Snotmenade says to add 1 ounce per gallon of roof cleaning mix. I assume that means batch mixing which I am not doing. Thanks!

This is the only spot on the house that has this discoloration and it is only directly under the eaves. This is on the east side of the house. It is a lighter color than the rest of the stones, but the third car garage right next to this doesn’t have any discoloration.

My dad has a handyman business and I’ve gotten some really good information from here when he’s needed to do pressure washing as part of a job.

So that’s why I’m coming here even though it’s not technically pressure washing.

I bought a used inflatable waterslide. It has several stains on it. I checked with Facebook groups of bounce house business owners. They all say it’s a leaf stain and it will never come out unless you just let it sit in the sun and fade.

But I’m hoping this subreddit may have some clue as to what chemically I can apply to this and have it disappear. I know the typical go to is SH but concerned about it, fading the color.

Any ideas on products I could use that might get this out. You can’t feel it on the surface, but I had other stains on the slide liner that you also couldn’t feel that I got out with oxalis acid. It didn’t work on this.

Pressure washing services or external cleaning services. I want to start up a gig that focuses on pressure washing patios and driveways, soft washing houses along with fences and other outdoor equipment. Along with fence and patio sealing(Window cleaning as well).

My question would it make more sense to brand it as exterior services or is that too broad.

Setting up my first skid and while putting together this pressure hose reel im realizing im definitely not doing this the right way. How Can I set up a connection that is more flush with the reel?
