What kind of residential pressure washing are you doing?

[CLASSICPW]

I forgot to add this question. Has anyone ever targeted grave yards? I've seen some very dirty graves and even those large statues are always covered in grime.

The goverment holds bids on them but you have to use chems that dont kill the grass, and low pressure and other clauses.
We bought a dry ice machine that shoots little pellets of dry ice.

[VanDiesel99]

So you use that for cleaning grave stones?? Does that work for all types of stone?

[Crownroyal]

excuse me cemeteries like Arlington National, I dont know about local cemeteries.
I saw a gentelman using one of these on plastic ink Cartridges.
You have to just try all sorts of stuff
I cleaned grease off of all my old bakery equipment in minutes rather than hours.

Mostly wood, driveways, and houses for me... A lady called me once to do her stone mantle and fireplace are in her living room. I thought she was kidding at first.

Hi
Mostly domestic, drives, pathways, patio, (Block paving, concrete, stone etc) Wooden decking and garden furniture, cleaning and restore if wanted.
All done with cold water machine, FSC, and various lances.
We don't have the exotic decking like you guys have in the states here in England, but they still come up nice and clean, well at least by me anyway LOL
Also season just starting to take off over here, and we have a hose-pipe ban in the south of England which does not include p/washing but now trying to convince home owners.

Roger,

We had water restrictions a few years back here in the northeastern US. At least in NJ it did not affect contractors. Public perception, maybe, I did not notice it but I'm a small fish in a very big pond.

Bust on Tony Blair, but I assume he's getting to be stale crackers. Resurrect Winston Churchill. Now there is a man that had gumption and fortitude when it counted.

Hello,

I wash anything. In the past I've washed 13 story buildings in D.C., store fronts in strip malls, airport hangers, and all things residential.


Strangest...the towers in a concrete supply yard, then bead blasted, and painted them.

As far as Power washing goes most of the cleanings I do are for Concrete driveways and walks, Soft Wash house washing which includes everything from vinyl sidded homes, block stucco, mobile and manufactured homes etc... and commercial bldg exteriors. I clean a lot of pool deck and enclosures and the occational vinyl fence, wood fence, boat docks, patio's etc... As far as roofs go I clean both Tile and Shingle Roofs. Up until about 2 yrs ago I was doing them all the old fashioned way with just using a pressure washer. About 2 yrs ago I learned about Non pressure cleaning methods of chemically cleaning Roofs. Through trial and error I learned from my mistakes on how to do them properly without causing damage. These boards have also been very, very helpful as far as refining my methods. Now the only time I actually Pressure Wash a Roof is when I have to do a paint prep on a Tile roof for a customer or for one of the many painting contractors that I do paint prepping for. I love pressure washing but I really love the financial benifits of cleaning roofs even more.

How about a water wheel on a grist mill in Pemberton NJ. Wheel was in 5' of water when they let dam lower level. Had to wade in neopreme waders for about 6 hrs for 3 days. The mill would turn the wheel as I needed it moved to other positions. To seal it Had to do in in a few weeks to dry out in sections.
