Pressure washing advise
« on: January 02, 2010, 05:09:46 pm »
Hi, looking at adding pressure washing to my carpet cleaning service, looking at this

 http://www.restormate.co.uk/epages/15094.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/15094/Products/SG250PH

What place do training or where can I get more info?

Thats ideal just add an FSC  to it, quick release fittings and a few other odds and sods and you'll have the basics. Someone in your area will give some training - but not too close

I bought one of these machines from Restormate along with an FSC and am delighted with it. Powerful enough to do most jobs and John and Lynn are terrific to deal with!

You get a 10M hose with the machine but one add on I would recommend would be a longer hose (they do a 30M one for about £140). You will also need a wheelie bin for the water for places where water pressure is low (I got one from £20 off the council and just use that).

So yes an excellent machine and well worth the money!

its personal preference if you just use the lance ya best making sure its a turbo lance otherwise itll take you a lot longer flat surface cleaner can be a lot quicker as it does around 18inches at time width but can miss bits

That must be down to the user Richy - never had a problem with our flat surface cleaner ;D

Tony I don't like flat surface cleaners because there is alot of tidying up afterwards, which you don't have with a turbo nozzle. I have also been pressure washing long enough to be quite fast with just the turbo.

You may prefer to go down the FSC route - personal preference!!
