pressure cleaning courses
« 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

Theres loads out there all claim to do better than the other one and more new ones everyday,its a case of shopping round,it still boils down to what your cleaning off from and how old the stain is,if you also look around you can actually make up something yourself ;)

and the graffiti course, looks good, bit pricey for one day but i'm guessing you'll get that back in one decent job.

paul for most stains you can find the answers on the forums for oil i personally find bicaronate of soda works well the only thing i find hard to remove is fertilizer stains.
Derek the course may seem pricey but the after sevice s above expectations
