First, thank you so very very much for having me! Ive been at it for 2 months and really enjoying the industry. Most fun I have had working! I have a few questions that are gonna show how green I am but hear me out lol.
On concrete, I haven't used much soap at all. No mixes, nothing! I wet, power wash, rinse. Once that is done, I use final quat and rinse the concrete and areas around it. So far getting good results as well as a nice clean finish. So the question... Do I need soap or and surface help on concrete if I'm getting the desired result?
And two. I made a mistake. I jumped into the industry with everything I had. Not many people in my area do this, 2 maybe 3. I bought a standard mobile 2800 psi 2.5 gpm wahser. I use Clorox 12.5% bleach mix in a pump sprayer for chemical application on homes. I'm a one man show so I rinse, apply chemical, twiddle my thumbs, wash, rinse and move to the next area (don't want anything to dry). I don't not have anything for soft wash so everything is wand work. I am curious as too what my next step should be. I know I'm hurting myself with the level of work I have gotten and the time it takes. My cost per job falls in the ideal market area (not to lowball) but affordable to whomever I do work for. So the question.... Is the wand work on buildings gonna hold me back? Will I hurt myself in the near future? What should I be looking for in the future to purchase as a whole unit to give me an easier time on jobs?
Once again, I'm green. I thank y'all for all your help, advice and wisdom.
