Slip & Fall: Sick Kids: mold, mildew, bacteria removal

Don't miss an opportunity for a photo op.
Slip & Fall, Sick Kids: mold, mildew, bacteria removal by Cleaned by Pete.

This entry is a branch from the previous entry. After posting and publishing the entry a member of the group Power Washing Community on Google+ offered a suggestion. I quote " Try to emphasize the fact that this is mold, mildew and bacteria forming on the bleachers and unless they are looking to have sick kids, they better get these routinely cleaned.  Would not want the school to be sued now would we!" Which did get me thinking the main reason for cleaning these bleacher was they just looked bad. That reason alone landed Cleaned by Pete the job along with a few other reasons as mentioned in the previous blog. 

 This is the way I use to approach and add opportunity based on looks while it is still a very viable add campaign we can change it also to health and safety. What is growing on your home? Autoimmune, respiratory, the rise in allergies, sinus headaches, kids unable to go out and play with out getting sick are all on the rise in this country. Can we as an industry make a difference? I believe so.

With the suggestion sent me I started to look at things differently. Not wanting to let an opportunity to pass with out trying to get some traction off or it. I started to play around with the idea of health. When washing we all know how slippery the surfaces can get when mold, algae, and mildew are on it. Well the aluminium steps and walk-ways were the same. This led me to another reason to clean them and brings up the question are we cosmetic cleaners or do we do this for safety reasons. I would like to think safety first but looking at the reason why I landed this job it was not considered.

Safety cleaning should be a big push in our industry. Slip and fall due to lack of traction on concrete and other surfaces due to the growth of molds, algae, bacterial growth and mildew should be a big concern. How may times have we cleaned oil spills up cause they look bad? Slip and falls are one of the largest arenas for lawyers to go after companies not that there side-walk looks bad.
Slip and fall, sick kids let Cleaned by Pete help you head these concerns from happening.

In the same vain molds, mildew and bacterial growth in public places are a common problem not just schools. Respiratory illness is a big concern and airborne pollutants are here to stay. Here is an example your at the ball park where do you set your drink? Most bench bleachers are not deep enough to set it between your legs most of us will set it by our feet. Now look at the photos did you really notice what is under you seating area? Small kids crawl around and down think what is there? Park benches, picknick tables, out side patio furniture even playground equipment. Rain does a good job but more and more pollutants are in the air the rain helps to deposit them more then rinse them away today.
Safety reasons are a main reason we should be cleaning and washing.

Are the days of "cosmetic cleaning" gone I don't think so everyone wants there properties to look good. Safety cleaning should be a reason or a trend we need to push for. As times change so we need to as an industry. Open up to new ways of looking at thing. Even cleaning a home a "house wash" removes molds, algae, mildew that is growing on your home. If you or your family members are having respiratory troubles or allergies this could be a contributing factor.

Health and safety lets look at thing in a different light the service we can preform may be more important than you think. We are selling a service lets sell safety, heath, and prevention we need to promote these services more and drop the idea of an $89.00 dollar house wash. We need to remove contaminates as mold, mildew, algae, bacterial growth and other airborne agents from a house, concrete or other surfaces. As a benefit your home or property will be cleaned in the process. Selling the health or safety service. Do we need to be selling and promoting cheap house washing or a service to remove the air borne and contaminates growing and feeding on a home or property. Are we selling a $20 to $50 dollar drive way clean or are we selling peace of mind knowing the drive way is safe to walk on. After removing these organisms from the pours has renewed grip to help hold shoes from slipping. We can remove the contaminates giving you a safety factor and in doing so your drive will be restored to look good once again. This puts our service above the "water squirter". While cosmetic looks will drive most customers to our doors offering peace of mind, health and safety factors we will up our game as I see it.

Wash'n Wednesday in Republic Missouri: Are you ready for some football?



Stadium Bleacher Cleaning or "Are you ready for some football?"

Wash'n Wednesday is one of my regular features here on the blog. This entry finds us in Republic Missouri.
 You know the field of power washing is vast. All types of things can be cleaned with a power washer. From houses to just about any thing that the surface will take the pressure of the water. Each surface is different each job is different and requires different soaps and cleaners. 
Our special equipment help us land this job the small footprint S10 was one reason I was able to receive this job. There was limited access to the bleachers and with our small unit they let us use the track to drive on and work from. they figured a large truck with a big trailer and large holding tanks would not be able to drive on and manoeuvre on the track without damage. The weight of a large outfit was also a big consideration with the grounds keeper and sports director. That and the closest water supply was just under 400 feet away.  We had 2 washers on board as always, for this job I had both fired up and running one off the 35 gallon reserve tank and one direct form the tap also filling the reserve tank. With special attachments and tools you can advance your cleaning and what you can clean. This job took several different attachments and even 3 different sized surface cleaners I had a handheld 9 inch surface cleaner but did not need it. 
Power washing is more than squirting water from a machine putting it under pressure. So now to this weeks feature article, cleaning the stadium's bleachers in Republic MO getting "ready for some football". Here are some before and after photos from Cleaned by Pete.

Cutting in, cleaning along the bottom and back of the seating area and along the back corner of the floor. Later I'll come in with the 12" surface cleaner to do the rest of the floor and seating areas. Cleaned by Pete bleacher cleaning see our next step in the photo below.


Then we come in with the wand and clean the faces and other surfaces. This shows washing the front, kick panels, and under the seating platforms. Getting rid of mold, mildew, algae, along with a years worth of spilt pop and other contaminants. Cleaned by Pete bleacher cleaning 417.459.7869
