Title: pressure cleaning courses
Post by: p1w1 on March 07, 2010, 07:12:19 pm: hi,
i'm generally in the window cleaning side but about to start up pressure washing as an add on and have got most of the bits i will need, i have been looking through the back posts etc but was wondering is there is any 1 day courses or similar you can do to learn the basics like the different types of nozzles and chemicals etc and when best to use them..plus any links to sites that sell all these bits..

many thanks
paul
