Hello every one,
I own a window cleaning company and frequently get asked to do the siding and roofs.
I inform the customers that we are not interested in this kind of work and give them a reference to several company’s in the area that do this kind of work.
How ever some of our high end accounts that persistently bug us I end up caving in and dragging out my 2,700 PSI 2.3 GPM I picked up years ago at an estate sale to wash my own home a few times a year with.
Last year, the what I know now as a POS 2,700 PSI washer broke on me shortly after setting up on the job. I went down to the local repair shop in a frantic as this was a high paying job to get it fixed and was told it would take two weeks, I told them I needed it sooner as I was on a job when it broke. I was laughed at, then they realized I was actually serous about using this for work. . . Im not sure if they felt bad or saw sucker all over my desperate face to get the job done, But I ended up with a free 48 hour rental on a 4gpm 4k psi. I believe it was a BE with a Honda motor and a Cat pump.
I have done this house multiple times with the 2,700 PSI and a it takes about 9 hours, using the 4,000 PSI it took less then 5 HOURS! OMG what a difference.
While returning the rental I told the shop to keep the 2,7000 PSI POS and I will only be renting there washer from now on.
After looking in to soft wash when I first hear about it several years ago I desired to try it last week on the home we do regularly. With an assistant it took less then 2 hours. . . I know I have become slightly more efficient with the pressure washer but is soft wash seriously this amazing? Or am i missing something. . . ?
