It is hard to tell a customer that you can brighten up their home with a washing. How do you tell them your home can be brighter and look better when it does not have the green or black growth on it?</div>

Just giving it a good cleaning can give it some wow factor back to the home. Unless they are watching you work they really do not know how dirty of dull their home was. As hard as it is to tell them that it is harder to get a photo of what we see when we clean. I was moving hoses today and had a look at the home and saw what I thought would make a good photo. It is not that cleaning the "green meanies" photo or the "big money shot" we all like to post. Just a regular house washing we all do and see each day. It is not the best but does show a brightening of the home adding curb appeal. I here people say all the time "my house is not dirty" just because it does not have green mold and mildew growing on it, does not mean it can not use a good washing. I don't know if I caught the entire idea in this photo but it does show a good impact.</div>

Being a old guy I have different views than the newer generation. With that in mind I try to have logos that will carry on the idea of what I do. I power wash so I have a figure of myself washing, plain and simple. This year I have changed my figure to help keep up the looks and keep things fresh at Cleaned by Pete.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be using the new logo this year as it captures more of what I look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like. Branding myself to my trade for easy identification of what I do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Water marking your photos and using a full description of what</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is going on will always help. I chose to over-lay my logo on the photo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead of water marking easy to see and again branding it to</div>

photos and others that will claim your work as their own. If you</div>

do not wish this to happen then always mark your photos in some way. </div>

Using a safe low-pressure to wash homes or businesses is a must while washing. Pressure is good, but to much pressure can harm softer surfaces. Needing the right equipment for the job is a must. This is one of those must builds. It fits a nitch in our tool and equipment. I have written about some of the nozzles I use in previous blogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This build is a variation on a X-jetting system and a M-5 style nozzle. To start the build these items will be needed. You can adjust your list to fit your needs.</div>

Using Teflon tape on all connections to reduce any chance of leakage is recommended. The process is quite simple from here. I used a 3/8" injector because they are much easier to source and at a bit lower cost. Using a fixed injector is fine but I like the ability to adjust the flow of the solution entering the system. When finished you should have something to look like this.</div>

With all parts assembled you are read for use. Most of us are familiar with the the down-stream injector. When the back-pressure is reduced by using a larger, free flowing nozzle, it will start do draw soap do to a low pressure zone created in the injector do to a venturi. By opening the valve more or less soap can be drawn in. The adjustable nozzle is the next item moving it in and out "push-pull" you create pressure or a freer flow. By twisting you create a stream or a fan pattern. </div>

The big Impact: house washing making a difference</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all like to do homes that are green and just growing with molds, mildew, adages and even mosses, it shows what we do makes a difference. When we are washing we see the dirt come off we see the difference we can make, but does our customer really see this change? When the house is just dirty?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"There is not any moss, or green stuff growing on my home it really is
not too dirty". Usually followed by "So it shouldn't cost as much." Sometimes the house is just in need of a good washing all over which is hard to explain to a customer,
each day, week, month and year a house gets a little dirtier and you never
notice it, it's gradual thing. As the homeowner you probably do not really notice it as you pull into the garage to park. A good low pressure house washing will take
care of these problem! We tell our customers this and most do notice the change the brightness of the home when we finish how well it looks and so on. If they could only see what was removed. The other day I had a chance to do just this. As the customer said the house had no sighs of green but the over all level of cleaning I was doing, could be see by all. </div>

This is the top corner of a three story home in Nixa MO where
we left a large portion unwashed so our customer could see the
difference for themselves as well as for the neighbors that were
watching. Yes we did wash it just a bit later though. The customer could not
believe how much brighter the home was when we finished. This worked as a good visual on this home but again you don't get this everyday, but it's fun when you do. Here is a spot I left on some gutter brightening for the same impact, came back after the photos and walk-a-round and finished the cleaning.<br />

Just One of Those Jobs<div style="text-align: center;">
First mistake, second mistake, just one of those jobs sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I did a rust stain removal job last week I had put a bid in on it and got it. This was great, I have the new 9 gallon system with a 3 bar head on the 24" surface cleaner it makes thing go fast, over confident first mistake. I had just looked at the drive way and did not do a test on the stains, second mistake. These stains turned out to be harder to remove than any other I have come across. The concrete was quite porous and had taken a good staining. With that stain setting on the concrete for a while. Fresh stains are easier to remove, third mistake.</div>

I start with the one in powered form we all use first to see if it would treat the stains. The stains just sat there, I believe I saw a rust stain flip me off then winked at me. Moved to our liquid rust removers tried both I keep onboard, they removed or lightened most of the stains but left shadows. Even using it straight with a pump up sprayer working it in with a broom still had light rust spots. I would say maybe just over 80% removal had taken place. I talked to the customer once again and not being one to give-up I told her I would try one more time. Had some free time later in the week I would run by and try to apply the rust remover again. I did not have much luck with anything I used the first time but you never know right, that would have been another mistake. Mistakes were piling up on me this job I should cut my losses and let it go. That is not a real option with my personality or desire to do the best I can each and every time. Now what to do to make this customer and myself happy with the outcome.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For about a year I have been researching the how and why rust removers work I am no chemist or scientist but I have a general knowledge of things. One local manufacture had a product which seemed to fit the bill but it was for a different application so I have been asking questions to them on the product. How it did this or that, what is in it, and the safety of the item. Since I was using it for another application I went a head with it and was able to get 5 gallons today and give it a try. With a reassuring yes, that it is safe to use on concrete, they have a modified version (weened down in strength) to use even on clothing. Using common sense and as always you want to use the proper protective gear, eye covers, gloves and boots to be safe. I was able to cut the product with water by 2 product to 1 water and give it a try it worked very well and did what it claimed it also contains a soap which would have helped to clean the concrete, If I had been using it at first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sorry as of now I can't say what it is but as soon as I can I'll post the name. I'm not going to be selling, marketing, or promoting it, in the future or now, I'm not looking to compete with the two major rust products in our industry. If it works after testing it out I then will let you know. It is local product and for me working with local businesses is a must if I want them to hire me I need to work and support them also. This is my main interest in this product, working with other locals, then what it can do for Cleaned by Pete to make the job easier with the best results. Buying local when we can helps the Small Business Community as well as saving money on shipping and handling charges and I can pick it up today. I now have just shy of 4 gallons left to do some playing around with, as I used just over a gallon and 1/4 to treat the drive way with. My customer called to give me their opinion on the product since they have used two different product on the side-walk, they could not believe the results it did. Customer claims it looks like new very very happy and surprised with the results. I win rust looses lesson learned also.</div>

In summery I should have tested an area to see what I had that worked. I should not have assumed it was going to be a simple job. Most of all I should have not gotten behind the 8ball with all my little mistakes. I did find a silver lining a new product which I will be testing and working with, made here on a local level. I also have a learned a lot with this job with what to do and how much the other rust removers can go and what they can do. Best of all will be a very happy customer that will have us back to wash their house and will help to spread the word about the good service received from Cleaned by Pete.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The photos above show what I did and the ones below show the out come of the job. As of now I see this product will be a good add to our line up of rust removers and cleaners. Every stain is not equal and one product can not do it all.<br />

I was able to do 3 homes in one day all in the Nixa MO area one near the river which helps to promote the green growth on the home due to the moister in the air all the time. One a rental in town and one across town. Bidding over the phone sometimes leads to a surprise of what needs to be done when you get there. Nothing out of the ordinary this year has be great for the growth of mold, mildew, and algae lots of rain and just the right cool temps to keep it growing. I have a few more photos on my sister blog House Washing Springfield MO, the link is provided above. Here are a few of the worst looking sides of these homes. To see the results from "The Qzarks #1 low-pressure house cleaner you will have to go to <a href="http://housewashingspringfieldmo.blogspot.com/">http://housewashingspringfieldmo.blogspot.com/</a> for the view.</div>

Sometimes the job is just weird, rock washing in Ozark MO. Being a washer we sometimes run across jobs that are a bit weird. I had one of them today. As I was finishing up cleaning a driveway and removing rust stains I received a call. Can you wash..... I just happen to be heading out to Ozark from Springfield MO to check on something so I said I would stop by. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The customer was doing some landscaping and planting and wanted some very large and dirty rock boulders cleaned before the landscape was finished. The big problem was they were 300 to 400 feet from the closest water supply. No problem I had that much hose on board and with the help of the buffer tank I could do the job. So here are a few photos of the rocks while working on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being able to move hoses from reel to reel and being able to easily move from pump to pump on the service rig makes thing easy to set up and work with. Quick connects on items lines and hoses have made things a lot easier, on me. Customer was quite impressed when I moved things around and was able to reach all the way down the drive-way to the front of the property then hook into the water supply on the home. Being flexible is what won us this job.</div>

This is an outgrowth of the last post on feeding the power washer, with the how and why plumbing on my power-washing set-up. Now I want to say I had a fellow washer ask the other day how and why I set up my service truck. Why did I do this or that, the best answer is I wanted to make it easy for me to use and to assure you as a customer that when I show up the job will be done.<br />
<br />
Other washers in the business my not see or find it to their liking. Everyone works different and wants something to fit them. As I stated before I started off in the business as a hood washer, using the heated washer as a tool in the hood cleaning business not as a "pressure washer". Working at night often in an other state one has to become self-proficient at get and keep things running and dealing with emergencies. What if your injector quits working, what if you don't want to have the injector in line? What if you're working with someone else who set their equipment up differently? A burst hose, problems with the pump or motor. Do you stop and tell them I'll be back when I get it fixed? Being able to fix or in my case rearrange things on the fly is why I have done what I have done. I will get the job done and repair back at the shop. Setting up my plumbing with quick connects and the way I have done it works for the way I do things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing is we always had a back-up washer on board, today is no different with me. Two Mi-T-M washers now go with me on every job overkill or underkill I don't know. Both belt driven models with different outputs which does not enter in to this entry. Why not just get a "new big skid" to use instead? I'm asked my answer even a "new big skid" can and do have problems don't they how often do you want me to replace with a new skid? This year I added a second hose reel also, one for each of the washers usually but often I want to switch from one to the other with out having both reels out. I have things set up to use no injector, an injector bypass or have the option of using different injectors in several different places depending on the hose length. I now have the option to use each washer by it self, both working and linked together, both separately running at the same time, several combinations have opened up for cleaning this year. Making it easy to hook and unhook these washer is a must and to be able to do it at on the job site is a must. Options depending on what Cleaned by Pete is doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have achieved most of this with the use of quick connects for the high-pressure lines. I have some photos to help explain what I'm doing I hope they help to clear things up. I have made thing easier by mounting washers, hose reels, soap tanks and other items to the truck permanently. Meaning this is a dedicated work rig. It is our 2nd work rig these trucks are for work you don't take them to the mall or out to eat dinner. This I feel shows more dedication to the business, I know other may not see it the same way, but once again nobody is all right or all wrong, just an opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Working with a range of whips, short hoses, the injector bypass, several quick connects put together and arranged is different ways and spare injectors we can hook up and into several different arrangements. </div>

I will start with the pump heads both these Mi-T-M units use a block or remote unloader mounts. I have always like this way of setting up an unloader better than hanging it off the pump head. You can change it out easier and work on it with much more access, on a side note I have this remote unloader setup on most of our power washers.</div>

Now arriving at the hose-reel, If you have not guessed...... yes quick connects once again. The hoses are also fitted to the hose-reels with the same style quick connects I can unroll unhook and plug in to the other hoses if I should need more. Also if a hose should burst I can unhook and replace making quick time of it with out having to get out the tools. The burst hose is out of the system and I can keep going on with the work. If a pump, motor, or unloader in either system just moving the output hose over and the water feed I'm back in business again. </div>

The green hoses are return (bypass) lines to the water tank one pump is tank feed the other is pressure feed. The pressure fed washer uses the tank as a dump tank in bypass mode, helping to keep the pump unit cooler (not recycling water). When using both pumps the dumping bypass helps to feed the water fed pump system. <br />

Water water everywhere but not in my pump dual feeding the power washer pump, more flow to the pump-head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran into a situation this week where my pump could just keep up with the surface cleaner, hose running up hill and having to park to far away, thus using a lot of high-pressure hose. The pump kept having cavitation issues, thus it was water starving. Trying to draw in more water to the pump, for the needed demand was more than the one existing line could draw. I was able to use the water feed from the home owner and supply the needed demand this time. So I mad up my mind to feed both sides of the pump with 1" inside diameter lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starving the pump from water leads to heat build up and heat is a killer of pumps. Since the water also removes the heat keeping it cooler. Water also lubricants the pistons in the seals and head reducing friction and helps enable the pump to form the the "water-seal" that makes it help form the pressure and compress the water. Keeping water in volume in each cylinder becomes very important to the live and function of your pump. If the first two cylinders are drawing more water the last one will starve. So by dual feeding the pump you reduce that risk and have more water available which can now enter from both sides. Also should make it easier to draw water in reducing any starving or heating issues. Now that you know some of the whys of doing this here is a pictorial guide-line of what I did and what I used</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
List of parts:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
angle head grinder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hand tools</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Teflon tape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. 1/2" brass 45* fittings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PVC Flex Pipe </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PVC fitting to match the PVC Flex Pipe you decide to use</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PVC glue and primer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
roll of tin-foil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
propane torch or heat source</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sharpie marker</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
safety glasses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wet towels</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
standard PVC cutter came in very handy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then with luck and due diligence you jump in & hope for the best</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off with the intention of using 1 1/4" feed lines but due to the fact I could not locally obtain the needed fitting I went down to one inch lines. The second problem is the unit I was going to do this one is a belt driven Mi-T-M and as with some belt driven models the plug to feed the inboard port is blocked by the belt cover. I also ran into the problem of with such tight bends in the tubing it may kink and not let the water draw free and easy to the pump. With the help of the clerk at Nixa Hardware we can up with using "Flex PVC Pipe" not tubing but flexible, glueable, formable. thick walled "pipe". I had never heard of this or seen it before. What made it even more useful was that it glues to any standard secdual 40 PVC fittings. Both the "ID" and the "OD" of this pipe fits and can receive the PVC fittings. I found out with the right amount of heat the PVC Flex Pipe can be coaxed to bend a bit more then when cooled it retains the shape. I used the standard PVC (purple) primer and the standard PVC glue to insure the fitting would not leak. </div>

Short review on the "Kranzle <i>flat cleaner</i>" Art.Nr. 41 09 31 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may look funny it may seem different. It can it's European and maybe that says it all. Sometimes we Americans think we have a handle on everything and are set in our ways. Here it is the "Kranzle <i>flat cleaner</i>" Art.Nr. 41 09 31, or we call it the wig-wag. I use this for maintenance cleaning when the larger surface cleaner is not needed. With the traditional surface cleaner you would have to move all the furniture around and then back. When your by yourself this cost time and ware-n-tare on an old guy, like me. This attachment fits on the end of the wand and easily moves under and around items. It has just one jet and is on a flexible tube that really does a powerful cleaning. It moves along quite well and covers a good swath while doing so. </div>

It may not seem it would be anything other than a toy but it serves me well. It cuts down on time and does not harm, cut legs, or damage side boards, yet it cleans deeply. I have a few short videos of it in action. The refresh rate on my camera is not that great it appears to be moving the water stream quite slowly. Please believe me it is moving right along and if I had a better video camera it would show quite different speed wise. Sorry for the unsteady camera action washing with one hand filming with the other. You can get this under and over the chairs and around while save some time still getting a good clean.</div>

Selling Your Home? invest in a good external cleaning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cleaning your home will be the best investment you can make. It will return more than any other improvement you can do on it. Cleaned by Pete spent today getting a home ready to be put up for sale.
That first impression is the one that will last when people see it. If
your home has the area's typical spotting on the siding of black algae
and mildew, or the green mold and golden algae blooming on your driveway
or sidewalks Cleaned by Pete can remove it. Leaving it ready for
prospective buyers and agents to look at. Cleaned by Pete also whitened
the gutters and fascia. You only get one time to make a first
impression, making it count the most is what you should be looking for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Better know a s curb appeal what is the prospective customer for your home looking for? Most of us really don't know that is why we hire an agent to sell and bring in clients looking to buy. I do know if you see something dull and dirty it stick in the back of your mind, you immediately downgrade it, the home falls into the bargain basement idea only to be looked at again if you can't find anything else. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Washing, cleaning, whitening and brightening, around the house will pay off. A agent once told me they can get 3% more for a clean and well cared for home, that has that "pop", "cub appeal" or what ever draw the client to the looks of the home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few shots of the work we did on this home that will be going up for sale.</div>

On a side note I thought I would add to the blog entry I had the twin linked pumps running together today and gave the 24" surface cleaner a new 3 bar head. 24" of surface cleaning power being pushed by the twin Mi-T-M power washers at @ 3000 psi at around 8 gpm. Made short work of the driveway and sidewalk with great deep cleaning results. Just another improvement on our equipment to help serve our customers better and more efficiently.<br />

What Do You Want! :putting together a custom power washer. We all have different ideas of what we want to work with. We all have ideas to change our working equipment to be even better. If they only did this or that. Well the manufactures did not call me when they built it so it could fit just my needs. That leaves me to put a washer together myself the way it fits my needs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Setting the stage I wanted a smaller footprint washer with power enough to do concrete and at the same time wanted reliability and a long-life for it and the components. Belt drives pumps turn at half speed this gives the pump drawing power and since it is not turning as fast you should double the life of a direct-drive washer. Belt drives are great but take up more space and with the pulleys and belt drive set-up. Added weight of the belt guards the tentioner brackets, the pulleys them selves and a larger stronger mounting plate to handle all this is something I was looking to avoid. I have had the "V-twin" over head valve motors and while proven I personally do not like them. I know right now some are ready to come to blows over that statement. More moving parts, a higher profile, and a bit top-heavy for my taste so to speak. This is what I am looking to solve in this build.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the motor I picked the old Briggs 180* opposed flathead twin-cylinder motor. Very reliable lower profile a old work-horse of a motor. flathead motors have fewer moving parts and develop more tourk something I'm looking for. The 180* lay out means it is a smoother running motor also this is also a plus. To shorten up the footprint and still give the larger pump a greater lifespan I'm going with a RS500 gearbox to replace the belt system. This gearbox will now take the 3450 RPMs of the motor and reduce it to 1700 RPMs required by the pump. It will look much like a direct-drive power washer and take up much less room. I have chosen a K-5 unloader for this build simply because I had 2 sitting on the shelf. The last item is I wanted a big gastank nothing worst than running out of gas when you have 10 feet left to clean on a job. I happened to find this Sears Craftsman power washer and had the cage wheels and tank I had been looking for. An older gentleman bought it at an auction and never used it. I removed the pump and motor and mounted it on a old two wheel pressure washing cart a neighbor had given me and I'll try to sell at a later time. The pump I have a spare General 5.5 gpm at 3000 psi sitting here and will be using it for the build. Generals are good pumps and we have a part supply house here local with every part needed in stock to keep one up and running.</div>

To start with all job are important to a business man whether your a power washer or any other trade we rely on job and customers. While doing a job today this thought came to me. I was looking at it as a small job I could do in the rain. Make some money and get it done fast just a "bread and butter" type job. I was not seeing the whole picture though, please let me set this up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was at the desk today since it was quite cool and the rain was falling, I received a call on the phone. It started "I'm very sorry did I just call you?" I replied "No mam". In a what I could tell was an upset voice she asked if I could help with graffiti removal. I told her yes I did graffiti removal and she then said she had been call around to get it done that she had some foul language and signs on her side walk with an arrow leading toward her porch. We talked and then she said no one would take it because it was on the concrete sidewalk too small of job if they had to clean up the walk-ways too. She relayed no one would do both and I said I would run over since I was not doing anything else due to the rain and see what we could do for her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would throw what I needed in the way of cleaners on the truck just encase. I knew I could do something but just what I didn't know till I got there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a "mapquest" got the location and headed out. I saw several tags in the neighborhood and knew about what to expect. I got there and it was not as big as some I say the one across the street was twice the size. I was thinking no big deal here and gave her the price she seemed quite relived and asked if she added the steps, landing, walk up and front sidewalk how much more I gave her the price and she asked when I could do it. I said now it's not raining too bad. She could not believe it. Then she told me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first home I found it after it had been abandoned for some time. Due to the closeness to the college it was a rental and suffered from alot of neglect the landlord did nothing but collect rent. When it got to bad to rent is just sat there. She was very proud of the little home and the work she had put in to it over the last year. She told me it still needed more work but it was all her's and she was very proud of it. The graffiti or tagging to me was just another job something to clean but it was more to her it was an insult and she was wondering if she was sought out or if she was being made out as something she was not. The foul language was being directed at her. I reassured her there were other tags around and it was a random act I belied from other tags and graffiti I removed. She said the arrow leading up to the house is what upset her the most like pointing something out, that something was wrong with her pride she had for this first home. It was like her baby this is what she was working for and too great pride and joy in this home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It made me realize each job is important but just how much and what it means to others we may never know. I take great pride in Cleaned by Pete what I have built and what I do. Why wouldn't others take pride and what the do and work on. As this lady taking the pride in owing and working on this home she was making for herself. I love working with my residential customers and take pride in their pride when I clean their homes and they just can not get over what a difference it makes. Now I'll have a different view on things too, maybe just a different perspective, walking in someones shoes so to speak.<br />
<br />
It was very refreshing to see someone with so much pride in a home that when some "urban artist" took it upon himself to add some art to it, it upset the owner and hurt them in a way as such to almost cause injury to them. No job to small will take on a bit different meaning now to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few picture of what I did not a big job but a very important one none the less. I did not picture the vulgar langauage or tags left (not worth giving the "urban artist" any points or promote their work. Just to say it was in forest green spray paint and applied quite heavy here.</div>

Yes Spring is coming in and was able
to to some gutter brightening. This is not the biggest of jobs but it
helps set you back into the work force. These gutters man not appear too
bad but they were some of the dirtiest I have come across in a long
time. Taking pictures of dirt verse clean gutters is one of the hardest
shots to get you can see it but the camera just does not relay the dirty
factor. In any case here are some photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Gutter
brightening Billings / Republic MO area. The photos really don't show
how gray and completely covered with years of grime these gutters are.
The house is located near a major high-way and a train track that hauls
coal, the home sits in an open field so it attract all the airborne
dirt.</div>

Well we have heard this over and over here in the "Greater Ozarks Area" and it also applies to the greater mid-west too, but to no avail it just kept snowing this year. I was able to get a few jobs done here and there but winter wrapped us all up and the gloom and doldrums set in. The blog suffered some but brings me to the point of this blog. What does a power washer do in the winter? I can shine some light on that question.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In past winters we had server warming trends and not near the snow recorded this year. Jobs could be done and equipment could be taken out. This year we had temps we never made it out of the teens. Taking equipment out to wash even the simplest jobs can turn into a nightmare with ice and slip and falls. It seemed better to keep it packed up but then you start to suffer from not getting out and you start to worry about this, that, and play the what if game. You know what if this happens? What if we don't do as much? What if a piece of equipment goes down? Too much time to think. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boardum sets in and you start to get down. I try to use this time to work on web sights and boost pages. Most of the time you will not see any returns on your efforts till the weather breaks and jobs start coming in. This also helps to bring you down by over-thinking again. You work and see no instant improvements. When we wash a house or concrete we can see results right a way giving us gratification. Try to keep your spirits up is a must. As power washer we all face the slow and lean times it is easy to say, don't let it get to you but it is a lot harder to act on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new season is around the corner things will get better work will be rolling in. You will make, it you will adjust, and you will grow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know we all need a pick me up from time to time I hope this short blog helps you get up for what is about to start happening, "A New Washing Season" is just around the corner.</div>

These pictures were of the last snow fall of 4" with sheet ice and sleet in between the layers you could not go anywhere. We had just melted off about 8" of the 12" the last storm wave brought when we received this one. I know in some areas this is not much but in the South-West MO area it is not good. Temps from -6 with high in the teens is also unusual for our are for the month of February. Just can't squirt water in weather like this.</div>

Still snow and ice here as of last week but able to get outside and do some work on the service truck. During some of the down time, I was able to build and get this stacking unit ready for the upcoming season. I was able to mount and get some of the hoses ran with a few breaks to run in and warm up.<br />

Today the weather is starting to turn for the better here, snow is gone still a bit of stubborn ice hanging around but I'm outside and able to do some work. Even yesterday I was able to clean some concrete, though it seemed I shoveled/power washed more sheeted ice off than anything. The local Classic Rock Coffee Company was having a "big event" and needed all the salts, grime, ice-melt, and the rest of the ice off their walkways. Wasn't any to warm but felt good to have work. I was cutting ice off the walkways with the spray and it was flying out into the parking lot while cleaning the grime off. So on a side-note a power washer can double as a snow shovel it seems. So anything you can get
done or do outside in the winter is like a greater accomplishment. Winter made me a bit
stir-crazy, so even something as small as mounting this old hand-carried fire-hose reel from the 30's, to the service rig, if done outside takes on some form of mythical
grandeur. I took a cue from the carpet cleaners and some of their hose
reels, I seem to like them much more, than the ones made just for power washing. I
had this antique fire-hose reel kicking around here
forever now. It's time to put it to some use. Again during some down winter time I was able to do some mods to it and convert it from holding a flat firefighting hose, to today's standard round garden hose. Now mounted on the
service rig with at-least 135 feet of supply hose on it. Just being able to get out do something gave me the intensive to come in and work on this entry of the blog tonight.<br />
<br />
Yes "Spring is on the way!" as I type the weather-girl on the TV said it is 41* now.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Winter is still here with us but our vacation time is about over and I will resume working on the blog here. Just to get things up to date, what have I been doing well here are some photos of some of the jobs we have done and a new video. The show some of the jobs we were lucky enough to have warmer weather to do and the new addition to the residential washing rig. I have added another twin Mi-T-M washer to it and am able to link the two together for water flow, the video shows the results. For now here are some photos, will be posting more soon on the new set-up. Cleaned by Pete, "Safely Soft Washing Springfield One Home at a Time"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been asked lately by several in the industry to help them understand what "media blasting", equipment I use and why. This blog is on just the equipment I'm using, there are links to other entries in the blog that contain more information on "media or hydro blasting", please view them also to get a better overview on this type of blasting. I have been telling each contractor that contacted me much the same thing. Replying by phone and by email so I thought if I could put down here in the blog would be a good reference. What tools or attachments I use is the most asked question this is what I have been telling them it might just be a plus for all though wondering about this process. Helping each other in the industry makes things easier for all of us. Each of us has more or less knowledge on certain aspects of different aspects of power washing or in this case using a power washer as a tool to achieve a different goal, "media blasting". Again I am not a self appointed internet expert on blasting I'm sure there are others out there that know more, done more, achieved more and generally are smarter them me on this subject. Don't believe me just ask them, they will tell you. In any case for those of you who asked and are interested enough in what I have to say here it is.<br />

This photo and description is from: <a href="http://www.pacht.com/waterjetting/waterjetting.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pacht.com/waterjetting/waterjetting.htm</a>: (please check them out for other info on water blasting and cutting), it shows a basic rendering of what is going on with a pressure washer and a vacuum feed nozzle or head of a media blaster most of us will use. The media is being drawn into the water-stream then propelled out with the force needed to remove from the surface of the substrate we are blasting.<br />

I have been "wet blasting" for years and mostly have worked in the field of machine and transportation. Wet blasting cars, bikes, new assemblies, motors and the like. Have also used this "wet blasting" on concrete, cast iron parts, gates, and graffiti to name a few other areas. Wet blasting has its good points and its drawback as does "dry blasting" or traditional compressed air blasting. If you want to read more on that here are the links: <a href="http://www.cleanedbypete.com/" target="_blank">www.cleanedbypete.com</a> look under the page media blasting.

Some of my conversations about wet media or hydro blasting went like this;</div>
<div id="yiv8777458399yui_3_16_0_1_1415222747627_4247">
<i>Sir, </i></div>
<div id="yiv8777458399yui_3_16_0_1_1415222747627_4247">
<i>First off
soda will not remove rust. I would use coal slag more info below from my
blog. You will have to get a blaster matched to one of your washers to
make it work the best. There is no need to have hot water for media
blasting, coal slag is cheaper then screened sand and cuts faster and
better. You can buy it in different grades get course or the course you
can find. Tractor Supply handles it as does Orscheln farm store. It
comes in 40 lbs bags it flows well and you don't have to worry about a
larger rock as found in sand. I would use your 4 @ 4000 for blasting you
have the needed power with less water. Several of the dealers handle
the better ones Landa and Shark are the most expensive depending on what
you want look at the one at powerwash.com it can do the job you want
with out too much out lay "below". A tip when using keep the hose feed
on top of the wand I tape it on in place and always keep the wand
pointed down so water will not get into the feed when letting off the trigger. Wet sand, soda or slag
plugs things up also if you get to close you can cause water to backflow
plugging it up also then you have to dry things out and start again.
Read the links and ask any question I'll try to help you out. </i></div>

<br />
<br />
<i>Sir,</i><br />
<i>While I use power washers rated at 4 gallons at 4000 psi and a 4 gallon at 3200 for blasting I'm sure you could use a higher flow washer. The problem with higher flow washers is water usage 4 gallons has been sufficient for all the jobs I have undertaken thus far. Since I do mobile blasting at customers homes and locations water flow may be and issue (a well or out laying area many not keep up with much more them 4 gallons per minute). Yes all my "media blaster" units or washers are on wheels. Getting to some areas is just hard here in the Ozarks.</i><br />
<i>Pete</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Dan,</i><br />
<i>I have two power washing units that I use for blasting and their output is a close range I do use each of the wands or set-ups with both washers but they are matched to a machine. Most upper level systems or nozzles will be sized or ordered to fit your machine you intend to use it on. The one you asked about is a Landa brand wand, head, nozzle, lance and pick up tube they run around $650.00 to $750.00 dollars depending on the markup at a Landa dealer. I have seen the Shark brand available also it appears to be the same setup. The blasting nozzle is replaceable if needed. You asked about the other one it is a older model General Pump or BE that has been superseded by another one. I like this nozzle when using soda it seems to work well but also use the coal slag with it.</i><br />
<i>Pete</i><br />
<i>*******</i><br />
<i>Dan, </i><br />
<i>here is the the link to the closest thing to the old General I believe this would work for you. I know other dealer sell them too. Look to find one to fit your washer. The Landa / Shark kit use to be found on Amazon too. The Landa comes with a thumb control valve to increase and decrease the media flow on the side handle very easy to use.</i><br />
<i>Pete</i><br />

*********<br />
<i>Yes it is different the newer one have a media flow valve on them and I don't know how well it works. I have made a flow valve at the pick-up tube in the system I use. A bit of a hassle till you get the flow you want have to walk back to the bucket a couple of time the flow at the nozzle may save a few steps and some time I really don't know. I use about 25 to 30 feet of feed hose,</i><br />
<i>Pete</i><br />
<br />
*****,<br />
<i>I have the two different units for different machines each is matched to the output of the pump. For the price if you were not going to serious about media blasting the General or BE style would be OK, Long term, easy to media flow adjustment and parts that will not be superseded I would say the Landa is the way to go. It is a bit heaver and I have had problems getting it in crevices where blasting is needed. The smaller head / nozzle of the General one was much easier to get into places, though the new style is bulkier too. I saw this one It is a little lighter I don't know who makes it but it may be OK to begin with due to the price. Again I do not know much about it since I'm not looking to replace anything yet so I can not recommend it but the overall design is very similar to my old one and has replaceable nozzles.</i><br />

<i>Sir,</i><br />
<i>The silver tube looking thing as you called standing by the washer is my hopper it holds about 100 pounds of media. It is a gravity feed hopper (homemade by me) but soda does not like to flow to well in it maybe to skinny. I have to whack it a rubber mallet to keep the soda flowing down sand and slag work well since it weighs more. I use mostly a 5 gallon bucket with media in it now and throw a blue tarp over it when working to keep the water out. One tip I learned the hard way is to never let off the trigger unless you are point the tip down. I have had water back flow a bit and plug up the media flow. Stop and dry it out wet media does not flow and slows the job down. You can see I have buckets in the picture, I find them easier to use and keep the media in. It may look a bit more "unprofessional" but it works better for me.</i><br />

These are a few of the questions I have answered I only posted my answers since I did not get permission to post the questions from the people who asked them. Posting other texts, emails and communications is just bad taste in my opinion. you can under stand what was being talked about and that is all that is needed in this case. I have not told you how to do it that is up to you each unit will react somewhat different you will have to develop your own technique and style of doing this, type of work. I was asked by one of the power washing groups if I would help by teaching a class on "media blasting" it looks like a growing field and I just may do it at one of the conventions if there is interest in it. I hope you find this blog entry answering some of your questions about this add-on service to your business. I'm still available for questions.</div>

I have given you some links to more info that I have written about blasting please give them a read and a view. I have listed some local resources for media also in hope to help. As I tell others you can do more with a power washer than you would think. I have also included some pictures of actual work done by Cleaned by Pete. Showing you I actually do this and what my results are. Expand your opportunity but don't just buy the cheapest blaster you see, unless you just want to try it, it's cheaper for a reason. Buying a better one and practice with and how to use it is a good path to take. Would I buy the Landa outfit first at the cost I would have to really think about it. Was the Landa blaster worth the cost I still have to say yes to me it was. I remember my first time I tried wet blasting! Yes it was a mess the learning curve almost sent it to the trash, but what took me hours then, is much faster now. I'm a old fat man and move at a steady pace the Mustang above took me 3 hours on site setup, blasting and breakdown just to give you an idea of time. There are more pictures at my google+ page if you would like to see them, and please visit Cleaned by Pete at our web site <a href="http://www.cleanedbypete.com/">www.cleanedbypete.com</a> and on facebook also. Please to like us on facebook and follow us on google+.<br />

In wrapping up I will list my blasting equipment so you can see what I use:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
set up #1</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
15 hp Lifan motor driving an AR nickel head 4000 psi @ 4 gpm direct drive pump.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Landa sand blasting kit nozzled to the unit (I bought this to use on my Landa hot water skid which is 3500 at 4.7 so the nozzling is close enough to use it on both).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
25 to 30 feet of suction hose to draw media.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
several 5 gallon buckets to hold the media for uses in blasting.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
tarp to cover the media buckets</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and about 50 to 75 foot of high pressure hose.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
set up #2 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
15 hp Duro Max motor gear drive a Hypo pump 3200 psi at 4 gpm on the four wheel kart.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
General or BE (older style) blasting head on just a regular gun and lance.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
home made flow control valve on the sand probe to regulate the flow of media</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and ever thing else listed above is the same.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not the equipment that does the job, it is a means to do the job. What does the job is the person running the equipment, who has the knowledge, practice and the time, plus a willingness to learn this trade and then to do it. One has to practice with it and understand the difference in the medias and what the substrates are to be effective in wet blasting. There are not a lot of mobile "blasting" services out there so it may be a good add-on service for you or your business.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The media control valve lets in more air or less air to the suction line causing a smaller or larger low pressure zone allowing more or less media to flow. To much media in the line means it does not pick up speed to impact the surface. It all comes out at once in a big gulp not a smooth stream you know you have this when the wand wants to putt putt to little flow no cutting going on. The idea is just enough to propel each grain of media at speed hit the surface cut chip, or roll then bounce back in the water stream once again. To much media is like a heavy splat then just falls off in the runoff stream. This comes with using your setup I can show you but trying to explain in words is hard if you are trying and not having the results you wish remember sometimes a little is better than alot. Also the media needs to fit the substrate surface and what is being removed. That is the reason for all the grades and different medias out there. Don't give up on your first couple of tries it something new and will take some new techniques to do effectively.<br />

Maintenance, That's What Winter is For?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well yes and no </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While maintenance is need through-out the year I find winter is a good time to catch up on more major things or items needing attention. It's hard for me to clean when weather gets down in the 30's. I have been cleaning for years and when doing hood and kitchen cleaning we often worked in sub-freezing conditions. You could wash up the external parts of the fan and then wash the chute then back inside where it was warm, to do the hood and what else was needed. Being outside doing flat work and washing, with water and lower temps are rough on a old man. I read and see others posting they are working outside even in 28* temps with the chance of ice I do not take the customers safety lightly, if it might cause any icing I simply will not do it. Keeping my equipment up and safely winterized is another one of my biggest concerns. Slip and falls and broken equipment form due to freezing is not worth it. With this said it now brings me to the topic of this entry. Cleaning and washing take me longer in the colder temp I move slower and it take more effort, cleaners, gas and diesel for heat and time to do a job. Being younger these things did not effect me as much but the older I get it has more effect on me so what does get done during the Winter? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Temps the day before never made it above the freezing point. It was to be 41* and on a warming trend maybe almost reaching 45* today (however it never made it above the 41*), A new construction at a church needed a cleaning for the Christmas Season, as well as side walks cleaned to keep the dreaded "red clay" out of the buildings that had been tracked onto and around the sidewalks. I took out one of the portable heated units that was used about 2 months ago on a restaurant cleaning. It was heating and running great then but today had a slight miss and a lean pop to the motor. I finished the job just by chocking it down a bit and was able to get the clay and dirt off the new stone addition and concrete side-walk. However I may be using this unit the next day depending on the temp for a house washing, and did not want it running like that again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up early still a bit of frost and still quite cold from the night but I knew that carb needed cleaning. It could have been running bad due to the cooler temps, bad gas, junk in the gas or sticky governor. I just had a feeling the gas had plug up the jetting. In any case it had to be taken care of before I left for then house washing job latter that day. It turned out to be a bit of junk floating around plugging up the main jet. I also unwinterized the regular house washing unit on the service truck (our S10 flatbed pick-up) which if the conditions were right I could use it instead of the hot water. By the time I headed out we had reached 48* and when the sun finally came out it popped up there to 51* so I did not need the hotwater unit anyways. So did I waist my time cleaning the carb? No it had to be done though another time would have worked out better and could have been warmer but it is now done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bring this up for a reason if I had run some "Sta-bil" or other fuel additive in the gas tanks when winter was coming in this may not have happened. I hate being on a job and not having my equipment not running or preforming at 100%. It just is not good policy, I have seen some people just get by run it till it dies or when it breaks then fix it. Waiting for parts or having work on equipment when you could be washing or cleaning is not good business sense. Any down time does not feed the family. So some of those 40 hour weeks turn to 80 with jobs and keeping up equipment. Cleaned by Pete has been blessed with enough service trucks and equipment to have a back up for anything that may go down or break. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always updating and buy better or more equipment is a blessing and a curse. Great to have but it does mean more maintenance. I have not sold off older or smaller machines or attachment instead I have kept them rebuilding them to new condition and specs for need in the future. Most of this reconditioning takes place when winter has set in. Waiting on parts or pieces is not a major ordeal during these times. I am in an area where this works for me. While others are working year round are not able to take advantage of the "Winter slowdown" and have to keep on keeping on it adds a bit of a change for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if the day does come around where cleaning and washing is needed and the weather will agree with us to do it Cleaned by Pete will. If not I always can find some thing to help the equipment. Winterizing after each job, is what I do and maintenance while ongoing through out the year is really concentrated during this winter time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gas can go flat and start to break down in less than a month if not used don't take the chance it happens to you. Use a gas conditioning item be it "Sta-bil" or other fuel conditioning additive it is better to be prepared. Keep your equipment looking like and running like a professional.<br />

Just a few photos of the house washing job took a bit longer but made a big difference to it.<br />

Hydro Blasting what is it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can call it what you wish some refer to as sand-blasting or a all encompassing term of "Media blasting". Most of the power washing suppliers will refer to it as "wet sandblasting". With so many terms it is hard to bill and sell this service to customers. They simply do not know where to look or what the term means. I do a lot of auto and bike restorations a small market for us but it's growing quickly with that in mind I thought an article on blasting was in order. If you follow me here you know I have been in business for a while and have grown our company branding but we can always use help in getting recognition and promotion on this service.</div>

The power washing or pressure washing industry can not even settle on one general name or category for what we do as professionals washers. Even that term "professional washers" is a misnomer I do more than just wash. Blasting paint and rust removal happens to be one of those services. I feel it is one of the best add on services you can have once you know and understand it. It is far more than mixing media and squirting it out in a water stream. You need not have one of the large units that are specially designed for hydro blasting if you are like me and do smaller jobs the car pictured below took about 3 hours total time to do, and I did it with my 4000 psi @ 4 gpm machine just right for doing this type of blasting and rust removal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am try to raise up the level of what we as power washers do. Over the weekend I was working on a car that needed some attention. Knowing what to do, how to do it, and what to use is more important to me than just the job. What I'm saying is that it is more or an art an not damaging any thing is a must. Using water has advantages and disadvantages. You need not worry about tenting, respiration hoods or clouds of what maybe considered more toxic by the "EPA" water coated media falls back down and any stripped materials do also. This is the biggest plus or advantage. Hydro blasting also uses less media it can reuse any media that becomes trapped in the water stream. With air it hits and bounces off or becomes airborne thus the need for hoods and tenting. Water keeps sheet metal panels from warping under heat caused by the air method of blasting. With the same equipment we can use several different types of media.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we as an industry should consider coming together and referring to this type of work as "Hydro Blasting" and promote it under one such banner. I can do more with a power washer or pressure washer than you think this is just one service. It can be one of the larger growing services with the right knowledge of what it can do. We can start to ban together and doing so customers and promotions of it can help out our bottom line. If we can show that with water and the right media, hydro blasting will work for more that you can guess. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cleaned by Pete does hydro blasting or media blasting on several different surfaces or substrates. We do mainly auto and bike restorations a untapped field of blasting. Mobile blasting for those who are restoring their dreams from the past. Working on finer cars and bikes is what we like to do. This same service can be used for stripping paint from parking lots, graffiti removal and other service. Soda blasting in the food service area for cleaning is another field you can use soda to clean equipment inside and since soda is nonabrasive it can be used around moving equipment as conveyers and production machinery need to be cleaned or stripped. Bring this service to the for front can be a new large field for this industry. Soda is also great for removing hard water marks from tiles around pools and fountains it also can help to remove efflorescence from brick and other surfaces.</div>

Hydro blasting is it for you? Hydro blasting we need to educate prospective customers and prospective technicians in this field. I was working on a '67 Shelby Mustang this weekend didn't look like much but the car if done right should be in the 40 to 50 grand area when finished according to the customer. He had be working on it for about 3 month trying to blast it himself. He heard of my "hydro blasting" service from a mutual friend, said he has been restoring cars for years and never knew any thing about this type or form of blasting. He was simply amazed at what I did in the 3 hours I was there. If we can get the word out on this service I know we can elevate it to a professional level. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just something to think about, trying to change of the public view of what a power or pressure does. With so many "low ballers" "weekend worriers" and the perception of working for beer money. Specialized fields filling niche markets is one way of doing this. I pulled up with 3 washers and two blasting set-ups on our small S10 flatbed pick-up with all that would be need for the job. Customer was not quite sure that what I had could meet his expectations which he said I far exceeded. It was so nice since he could not trailer it to a blasting location to have the work done, and not seeing a large trailer with a huge compressor on it was amazing.</div>

So what do we call this? How do we promote it? Where do we go from here? Knowledge is the key to success. I have learned to do most of this by years of hard work and some trial and errors. I grew up building bikes and cars and that is why I specialize in this field. Help us change the views of what we do and help promote a professional look to this industry. </div>
