what chemicals do you use? what services come along with it?
like fences or houses? what?

I'm thinking about starting my own little part time job and want to know a little before I get into it.
can I start out using a 2300 psi pressure washer?
give me some ideas please, thanks!



Answer
you could start with 1500psi. always charge 4 times the amount of cost for the detergents you use. if you go into restaurant hood cleaning be sure to invest in a good rubber suit as the chemicals will eat you up with serious burns( almost like the acid in aliens eating a hole in the metal). you would also need to invest in bisquuen to protect the outlying areas of what you are cleaning(you throw that into your expenses as you throw it away after each job)
For driveways and houses you can use a mild detergent that only needs to loosen the dirt and let the pressure do the work.

P.s. the best chemical to use on metal is Potassium nitrate in flake form. it is highly corrosive and should be mixed in a lawn /bug sprayer (you will go thru several of these in a year if the business booms) if you pre apply detergents to houses and driveways use separate sprayers so as not to cause a chemical reaction. always wear a face shield no matter what you are doing to protect your eyes.

Answer
pressure washers require a minimum Volume of water (gallons per minute) your hose bib may be bad preventing enough water flow. some hoses have a screened washer inside them, when they clog, water is low flow. also are you on a well or domestic water? could be your system pressure is just low. finally some systems have a pressure reducing valve on them because the domestic pressure is really high. that unit may be bad or set too low.
