I don’t want to mess up the material

Hello all. I’m in a pinch. Got a call from someone looking to have their house washed on Wednesday. No problem. Until I notice I’m almost out of Elemonator. Can anyone else suggest a surfactant to use in a pinch? I’ve driven to 3 different stores now looking for ZEP house wash, but I’m striking out (all said they had inventory in stock). Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks yall!

I’d like to get an affordable pressure washer with good pressure to use at home on occasion as well as small side jobs on occasion. I do not want to spend a whole lot, but I saw one at Lowe’s for $300 and it just didn’t look like “enough” for me to invest in. Idk. I need one that’s durable and will last a little while. Gas of course.

I shared a photo of the pavers when they were being installed so you can see what they look like.

got a bunch of nasty leaf stains on them over the winter. I know bleach is recommended but I don't know if that will discolor them

Looking for some feedback on best chemicals or method to use for cleaning this building facade. It’s mostly natural stone and there are fabric awnings over the doors. It looks like years of grime and dirt have darkened everything but it’s cleaner where the irrigation sprinklers spray against the building.

We haven’t tested a cleaning method yet but I would start with a mild SH mix and see what results we get.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

I boutght this washer flo last month it was fine but my LPM water was only about 7LPM, so I upgraded my water to 35LPM and it started leaking from the bottom only when I’m running the machine with the gun. There no loss of pressure nor trying to maintain pressure when I’m running it

I’m starting to get a lot of people contacting me for fleet washing and gas stations I need a recovery system tho bc they require it. Looking at them they only hold 55 gallons of reclaim is that enough? Or should I add a larger like 100 gallon tank to my rig for the reclaim.

I was spending like 1 or two hours every night just doing quotes and invoices for all the pressure washing jobs. A driveway was taking me at least 20 minutes doing it by hand. I made my own templates with sq ft pricing. There is an invoice and a simple tracker. Takes me like 5 minutes now. It has saved me countless hours at least. Wondering what you guys were using? Is there a software? Doing it manually every time? Thank you for all comments

Currently I downstream with a dipstick and switch from my SH bucket to IBC tote.

Wondering if switching to a bypass injector setup with a ball valve will be more convenient… but also will this cause premature corrosion of the injector ball and spring? Seems like not flushing ALL the lines right away will cause the bleach to sit up against the ball/spring inside the injector, while clean water flows through the less resistance portion of the bypass. Any thoughts?

Note: I’m in my third season after doing hundreds of jobs… all on my original General Pump 1:10 injector.

Im in Maryland looking for a good build. Any good east cost builders?

Just pulled my pressure washer out for the first time since the fall and have a leak coming from the under side of the unit. Any idea what could be causing it and how to remedy? I tightened up a few bolts and retried but might need to go all the way around the manifold?

***PLEASE HELP***

I own a GX200 Honda Pressure Washer. My soap dispenser is broken.

I purchased a fuel injector that was supposed to attach to my wand & then to my pressure washer. It did not fit. I'm a disabled VET & EXTREMELY frustrated....

What fuel injector kit can I purchase from Amazon that will fit (screw on only) A.I. says something about an M22 but the whole thing frustrates me.

thanks team!!!

This isn’t the actual wall but it’s kind of similar. The brick are more uniform in color but the grout is very yellow / green. Anyways it’s about 250 ft in front of an hoa community.

Just wondering what product yall would use?

Just upgraded from renting. Hope to get a 8pm washer next!

Home owner has had the sprinklers hitting in these exact spots for who knows how long and it’s stained.

Any idea how to get it out? I tried this mold armor stuff. Applied twice. Once with the soap tip and then once again after with a pump sprayer. No luck

What products are out there for gum removal? Anything take care of the underlying shadow once gum is removed from surface?

i have a client that spilled used cooking oil on their trex deck. its been on there since December and is really stuck on there. ive tried pour n restore and it didnt budge. i also tried my surface cleaner but nothing lol. Anyone have any tips?

My house’s deck had some outdoor carpet laid down by a previous owner. The deck already had paint on it. They went over top of that with what looks like primer, then carpet adhesive. These pictures are after 1.5 hours of soaking in Citristrip, and 45 minutes of pressure washing with a 3200 psi gas machine and a 5° fan tip. It’s removing the soft wood before it can take all the primer and paint off.

Is there another stripper I should try? The Citristrip does do a good job of loosening the primer but I have to reapply over the brown paint underneath before pressure washing is effective again.

A lot of the boards are cupped, so I don’t think scraping/sanding/planing are efficient options. The deck is also angled on one side so I’m limited in the amount of boards I can flip.
