I have close to 800 door hangers that I found out are not really all that legal to distribute. My thought was to bulk cut off the door hanger part and use them as a post card type thing. If going the bulk mail route im a little ignorant as to how you get the addresses, assign them to the card, then costs and logistics to mail them. Does someone know how this is done…OR have any other out of the box idea on how to make use of these door hangers?
USPS has a service called EDDM. It’s 20 cents per mail piece, but it has to be in their criteria.
You have to have their indicia on your flyer/brochure or whatever you are sending. It also needs a little box saying “your local postal customer” (they have all of this on their website)
However I would assume you do not have the indicia on these so you will not be able to mail them unless your local post office is very lenient. Go ask and see if they would let it slide - they have done it for me once.
Thank you.
Why are door hangers illegal to distribute? Unless you live in CA where everything illegal except theft and murder.

Lol. Got ya on the California thing. I researched it for Orange County Florida and thats what I came up with. Maybe I should contact the city directly. Racer do you recognize this type of concrete in the screened in room? Was wondering if it would stand up to 2500 psi with a surface cleaner or if im going to have to wand it. Haven’t seen it in person yet. Upcoming job.
That is a coating used on pool decks, one brand is Kool deck. I would personally never surface clean that type of coating. If you look outside the screened area, you can see that it is already peeling badly.
Your wand is going to take off flakes as well. I would recommend soft washing with SH. You need to be very gentle with the rinse. I also recommend discussing the potential for flaking with the customer.
On a side note, you can change the nozzles on many surface cleaners to lower the pressure. Use nozzles with a larger orifice size. Even with lower pressure, I wouldn’t use it on this coated surface.
Thank you. I have 2 commercial surface cleaners and was considering changing the tips in one for this area, to get about 1000-1200 psi. But I think I will follow your suggestion and treat with a thick 5% SH, use a long dwell time, then put on my 1000 psi wand tip to rinse, or soap tip, with the wand far from the surface. The coating is quite old from what I’ve been told. Post treat with 3%.
I don’t know that I would post treat the coating. If you want to do two passes with SH, that’s cool, but rinse it all off.
Thank you so much for that info. But to be totally educated I have to ask why? Is it because a post treatment being left there will dis-color it, and if so when soft washing a painted driveway should that also apply ??
Post treating is typically done on plain concrete to help remove zebra stiping or heavy organic stains like tree tannin.
When you soft wash painted or coated concrete, you should be removing the organics stains during your main soft wash. Once the surface it is clean, the benefits of leaving SH on the surface are not worth possible side effect, even if the chance of side effects is low. Others may have a different opinion.
I would think of soft washing painted/ coated concrete like soft washing a house rather than thinking of it as cleaning plain concrete.

Thomas is right, not that dirty. Hit with 3-4%, let sit for 10min and then rinse good. That should do it. I wouldn’t leave a post treatment where it might not dry quickly. They might let bowser out on the porch after you leave and he might lick it up or some weird thing. Never underestimate the stupidity of some people, lol.
