I’ve been in business full-time for a year and a half now, so it’s about time for me to decide how professional of a company I’d like to work towards. Up to this point, I’ve been housewashing with softwash tips on a portable pressure washer. The system seems to work well, and it doesn’t take too long to get the job done. I have the opportunity now to buy a full softwash trailer for a good price, but I’m not sure that this would be an upgrade. This is probably what most of y’all use, but I’d like to know what makes it preferable.
Does it actually make the whole process significantly quicker? Is it primarily a pr/marketing move? Do you sacrifice quality by not having a high-pressured option for spot-cleaning those especially stubborn spots?
I really appreciate your time, experience, and perspectives!
The trailer part enclosed or open won’t make you anymore money, it’s more to do with how you have it setup that dictates pace. You definitely need a pressure washer on board, that’s a given.
You say you have a portable pressure washer so I’m assuming it’s a lower gpm. You’re better off upgrading to a higher gpm pressure washer and soft washing with it. Using a 12v for house washing isn’t very efficient.
You can softwash houses with your current pressure washer by downstreaming or x jetting chemicals to do the cleaning. All you have to do is rinse it off once you apply the chemicals
