The Vacation Is Over

The Vacation Is Over 

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"

What's in the pocket?

What's in the pocket?

It use to be said you can tell alot about a person by what is in his pockets. Just finished up a cleaning / washing job this morning. TGI Fridays, It was mostly flat work, get home and sit here reading my e-mail. One of the guys I help with info was telling me how he likes the new nozzles I matched up and sent him. Had to laugh when he said what he liked so far with his new set-up. The new standard nozzles that he needed after the upgrade, an adjustable long range soap nozzle and the sweeper as he call it (I made it for him I call them mini brooms) set it up to power match his surface cleaner. For cutting in, touch up, working a tough spot or rinsing, have the same nozzles that the surface cleaner does so output matches the surface cleaner exactly.

So what is in my pocket now? The exact same thing.
Cleaned by Pete, 25*, 40* tips, mini broom, and the adjustable long range soap nozzle, these are my most used nozzles when doing cleaning and washing.

Cleaned by Pete: this is what I carry in my pocket while working and sometimes even when not working. A few of my favourite things.
 
I also had the keys to the service truck
Today's photo one hot water, one cold water power washers, five different surface cleaners, 275 foot of high pressure hose, soaps and cleaner, foam guns or cannons, brooms, oil & chemical socks (pigs) two gutter critters along with other items for Cleaned by Pete to wash and clean concrete in Springfield Missouri.

 and in my back pockets had a water key and a camera in the other, for getting photos of any existing damage and before photos. So if the old saying is right what does this say about me? I would guess it says, "Yes you're a power washer".

What's new at Cleaned by Pete

What's New

Sitting back and just working is not for us at Cleaned by Pete, we do all our own maintenance and up keep. I will also do any rebuilding of our pumps and motors if needed. If you keep your oil changed and all other maintenance on a regular schedule your equipment will last longer. This not only keeps your overhead down but also helps the motor running at peak which saves gas and oil. Keeping your pump up keeps it at a higher efficiency moving the most water and keeping up the PSI making its' cleaning power at the top.

Another thing I do here is build new units, if a need arises I will seek out what is needed and build a new unit I just finished one today. Cleaned by Pete has been doing more concrete cleaning lately. We started in the power washing business washing concrete, business fronts and sidewalks. The recession set in and a lot of business took a hit to save money and keep the profit line higher several let their external cleaning go or tried to do it "in-house". Today these businesses are coming back. Our residential customers are more concerned with that black algae and mildew growing on their driveway and sidewalks. Keeping your concrete cleaned has several benefits: looks, safety, and health being the top of the list.

If you see something growing on your concrete you know it is forming a layer or growth this growth gets slick anytime water is present. From rain to a heavy dew you are at risk of slipping and falling, and you need not put your customers or visitors at that risk. Cleaning and killing off the cause of the problem is what we do. Give that concrete some grip with a cleaning form Cleaned by Pete.

Looks: just having us clean your sidewalks and entrance makes your business or home more inviting and if your selling it has more "curb appeal". Your customers get a feeling that says you care and keeping up appearances it's important to your business, a good place so shop or eat.

Health with environmental change and strains of algae and mildew that is always evolving we are now seeing black streaks on our roofs and concrete. Some strains have become resistance to older cleaners. Cleaned by Pete keeps up with new cleaner and brings that technology to you. Some people are bothered by mold, mildew and algae to some it is more a health concern than just an eye sore. Let us help you with this concern with a cleaning.

In order to help you with these problems. I would like to introduce you to two new pressure or power washers I have built for cleaning concrete and patios. First one is a higher powered unit to enable us to use our to largest surface cleaners more effectively. Getting a "deep clean" helps us to root out that organism growing in the pours of your concrete. With this new washer we can get more water pressure to the point it is need.

This addition to our line of washers is to insure you, that you're getting the best cleaning you can when you use Cleaned by Pete.

The second unit we are adding to the lineup is for patio and areas we have had trouble or that were time consume getting to in the past. Hauling a washer to remote or backyard areas sometimes is quite impossible with the lay of the land or landscaping getting to that needed area, that needs the cleaning took several trips and time. Getting that washer, tools, hose, and supply lines there took time  and energy so to help I came up with this. A washer that is gas powered and will carry the high pressure hose, the supply hose, a cleaner tank, an adjustable flow setting for the cleaner, tools needed, on pneumatic tires, and a easy to move cart all in one unit all on-board and taking one trip to get it there and setup. Just think everything needed in one trip to and getting your cleaning under way quicker leaving little to no invasion on your yard or vegetation. While not quite complete, it still is needing the hoses attached and the new pump plumbed in here are some pictures. This is again something you may be able to buy but this custom made unit is all set up and designed to fit the needs of our customers and us here at Cleaned by Pete.

This will be Cleaned by Pete's self-contained patio and remote washer.

Two hose reels, gas motor, high pressure pump, chemical / cleaner tank, pneumatic tires and a easy to manoeuvre cart Cleaned by Pete is building this unit to aid in getting and cleaning those hare to reach areas.
