I thought I read that somwhere, apparently it’s a bad idea, must have been FB…I’m no good with budget rig suggestions, lol. We have x-jets, but we only use them if we need to spray deactivator on anything…or as a plan C to wash a house if everything else breaks an hour from the shop… Come to think of it, they allow a higher mix, but not a lower pressure…duh
What’s up guys. Looking to convert my little 5x8 trailer into a pressure wash rig. Only doing this as a side hustle where I can drop the trailer and use my truck for whatever else I want to do as needed. I’m very fortunate in that I do not need to go into any debt to build this out, but obviously everyone does have some kind of a budget. Been looking at all the beginner equipment lists and what not. Very good information. Im here to absorb knowledge. Thanks

Just a guy wanting to take care of his own stuff. We have our house and a rental.
No business of house washing for me, just like my stuff to be clean and I tend to do what I can for my self.
I have my original little electric Sun Joe and a gas powered Simpson with the Honda motor.
Really just trying to clean our houses once in a while and I also have a deck and fence to keep up at the rental.
Great information here.

My name is John Jr. my interest started when I was 15 with my brother trying to build our own business in the bay area. I am currently a fast-casual worker in Modesto, California. I have 2+ years of pressure washing experience and plan to build the foundation needed for my business to thrive and run properly. I constantly seek learning and can’t wait to learn all from other great people in this industry.

James here in northwest Ky. I’m currently getting things together to start a small washing business in the local area to supplement my full time income. I work evening shifts, and all the kids will be in school this year so I decided I needed something to do to make money instead of spend it. I look to start doing residential driveways and concrete, see how that plays out and maybe grow from there.
Thanks for all the knowledge on this site, ive been lurking for quite sometime. Decided i should probably just sign up.
Welcome James, I’m in Lexington, Kentucky……much success, great site to learn from.

Hello, my name is Dan. I opened a small Pershing company, and I came here to learn as much as I could to expand my knowledge and become a professional in this industry.
Welcome Dan. Where are you located? You’d be surprised how you’ll meet folks all around you on here…
Hi from Greece!
I start a few months ago as a side job, using 4g (15 lpm) Honda 390 with annovi pump
The thing is that in Greece and more precise in Creta island there is no one doing surface cleaning or pressure washing… and i cant find any informaion for equipment and chemicals.
I am reading this forum for the last month and learned a lot but the chemical you guys use i cant find them here.
Just joined to say thanks and maybe some questions later if i cant find answers already posted

There was a guy on here that used to post from Cyprus, I wish I could remember his name. If you two aren’t on top of each other I am sure he would give some tips.
Deferent Island and country but with same language an brotherhood for each other!
Wish someone can remember the name or himself write something
@SteveBoyle is who you are looking for. Now that he has been tagged, he’ll respond if he is still active in the forum. Island Power Clean or something along those lines was the name of his business.

Hello Everyone!
Hope you’re all having a good weekend. My name is Aaron. I’ve spent the last few months researching and I’m in the process of building a downstream and 12v setup to go in the back of my truck. Grateful for the opportunity to join the forum.
Thanks,

Welcome Aaaron, great place to learn. Remember to use that search bar, it’s your best friend……a lot of info on this site.
Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster from down under. I began researching on the internets & this forum for a driveway clean & seal I needed to do for a family member and ended up down a rabbit hole with three jobs coming up and a new business! I have experience in interior painting, but pressure washing is a new learning endeavour for me (really enjoying the knowledge sharing on here). Currently focusing on business admin, marketing and getting organised for my first job - including refining my equipment list. My focus will be on residential concrete/paver cleaning and sealing jobs. Looking forward to meeting everyone on here

I’m sorry but we have met our quota for the year of down unders. Between y’all and the Canadians it feels like an invasion. Could you possibly log out, change your profile to say your from Florida and then everything will be back to normal.
