Hi , I pressure washed a house and flatwork yesterday , took 7 hours , it was very dirty , flatwork hadent been washed in 23 years , I bought a generic surface cleaner & was amazed how well it worked . Why I didn't buy 1 a long time ago I don't know , your mini Mondo is a fine looking machine ,. Good video , greetings from Austin Texas 🇨🇱👍🏼

You were COOKING it on that back patio, wowza! Starting with just a 2.5 GPM machine right now, slow is the name of hte game haha! Can't wait to grow and get more efficient equipment. I've been pre and post treating with 4% to just really CYA on stripes etc. Video shot, edited and posted the same day, appreciate your effort and time Mike!

@TheFreshRinse Жыл бұрын

@@outofthetoolboxtinker I like that. Most of the time it is completely dry before the homeowner comes home. And if it rains, it is likely to dilute it greatly. I’ve never heard of there being an issue. At the same time, it would not be cool if there was. Again, that would be very unfair to the homeowner.

That looks great! The best thing about it is tackling a job with organization and efficiency. It makes the job so much easier. Curious about the amount of sq footage that was altogether and what you charged for it roughly! I use a 4gpm machine and i have an 18 inch surface cleaner but for big jobs like this, i have used the 24-inch one. I would say, this job might have taken me at least 8-9 hours with the set up i have lol. Keep up the awesome work!

Hey Mike, new subscriber here. I love your vids, due to your laid back demeanor and straight forward knowledge. I'm an aspiring business owner trying to get into this industry. I do have a question though. I'm new to the game so forgive me if this is a dumb question! I noticed you said while pre soaking you had 2% mix while spraying towards a few bushes. Will that not kill or hurt the plants? and also will the mix not affect your paint or decals on the vehicles? Thank you! you have a great channel! keep it up!
