My suggestions.
- Drop the dawn soap. Pick up one of these, might look pricy at first but you use about $0.01 - $0.15 worth of soap per job, it lasts a long time and pays back like that surface cleaner.

Live off your part time job and save every penny you make from washing. Part time job can’t support you? Live cheaper. Stop going out and wastIng money. You want to do this that badly then make it a priority. Don’t spend a dime if that money and put aside 25% of your earnings for taxes… yes that’s right, do it legally or don’t do it at all. That also means licensing, insurance, business structure, logos, CRM, ads, ect… If it’s too much for you then stop doing washing till you saved enough to do it right.

Get cam locks for that electric pump with hoses and only use 1 pump for both pumping in the tank and pumping out. It’s a waste to have 2 when you can just can lock and switch between the two processes and save the 2nd pump as a backup. Heck you could use poly 3 way ball valves instead of cam locks and achieve the same thing.

If your tired of looking unprofessional, then turn those 2 hours of read time into days and do your diligent research. You will see just how messed up your build is, but I understand people start somewhere and often wrong, as that was me at first.
Bottom line, if your broke, washing houses with dawn, and trying to make yourself more professional. Just stop washing, take a year off to save money for a professional setup, read this forum and study for that year before you waste money and time, piss off customers, and get yourself into some legal trouble.
