Hi guys,
can someone please explain to me how to clean letsa say vinyle sidings… from A t Z… From setting machine… starting it …preparing solution… the type of solution… the PSI… the nozzles at every height … I know im asking for alot but I cant seem to fully understand … I ve found some you tube videos which were good but were missing the whole preparation process… Much appreciated Billy…
Hey Billy, have you done any pressure washing? What types of work have you done in this field? What equipment do you have?
hi Randy thx for replying… the only time I used a power washer was when I cleaned my deck . Im in the process of buying a machine looking to invest about 1500$( direct drive most probably). Im a window washer and I want to use the soft wash as well… In the begginning of the year I hired a guy to clean a big house that i was window washing and I saw how much he made… so I figure next year I want to do both the WW and the SW. And honestely im really enjoying all the videos ive been watching. Since i got no experience whatsoever…( im looking for some help from A to Z… thx Randy …Billy
The best advice I can give you right now is to first get with the vendors who sell the power washers and the cleaning products. There are many of them and in my opinion, PressureTek.com and Powerwash.com are rock stars. Dialogue with them and let them guide you into your purchase. Talk with them about a set up for soft washing and they can help you get the equipment and the soaps. From there, take it outside and wash your house. Then take it to mom’s and wash her house. Then your best friend’s house (don’t do this one for free though or it will be forever expected, lol). Nothing will really prepare you for beginning cleaning until you have the means to step outside and apply your book learning to practical hands on skill. Once you get that far, come back on here and let’s talk about your experience with the machine and then I can relate information more easily to you. Believe me, until you’ve sprayed some soap and water you wont fully grasp all the concepts. Billy, I don’t have all the answers but I look forward to helping steer you in the right direction.
Take all of your questions that you have and type them into the search bar, try different wording and arrangements because it will find some cool stuff! After that read…read… and read some more! Down load the PWRA app to your phone or iPad and every spare moment you have log in and search a topic and I mean every moment, to the point of sitting on the John and your legs go numb!!!

[MENTION=12337]belowzero[/MENTION], if you’re planning on spending around $1,500 on a machine, I’ve read some good things about this one: Skid Mounted EB5525HG 5.5 GPM @ 2500 PSI GX390 Honda GP Pump - KECSupplies.com
will definately check it out Alex thx.
you forgot to ask about how to price, lets say, vinyl siding, concrete, roofs, etc… You need to ask that question or you will never know
cool thx… there s so much to learn until next season i hope i will have enough time
My advice get a 8 gpm belt drive. Or you will wish you had soooon

8 is where it’s at but He’s only got a budget of $1500 so this will be a great start. Plus, 8 GPM is such a blessing to work with and when he can afford to get it he will then actually appreciate how great it is… I went from 3 GPM to 8 and haven’t been able to get rid of my huge smile ever since!
