    *Hi. If that's your garage looks like the one in the video, you should consider lifting the wood cabinets off the floor and create platform for the fridge. Wood and metal just need a bit of water to start decaying.* If the cabinets are attached to the wall you can remove the wood valances(?) and put bricks under them for support. The icebox platform can also be bricks or a DIY concrete tile/slab.

    What type of floor coating was that? What state ?

  • @JoeDoe2
    @JoeDoe2 Před 5 lety

    During the attachment step, it looks like a lot more cleaner was coming through the attachment rather than just using leftover cleaner from when the scrubbing was done before. Is this correct? Do power washers have a way to mix whatever cleaner you want to use with the water, and did you do that? If so, what brand and type of cleaner was used at that point? It's one thing to be in the cleaning business, but most people don't need to clean concrete often enough buy a power washer and $70 attachment. They'd rarely use it and it just takes up valuable storage space. I guess that's why they call you. How much did you charge them for that?

    • @mikesalive
      @mikesalive Před 2 lety

      I know this is a few years on from when you asked that question, but I shall answer it for posterity. Most pressure washers/water blasters have a small inlet port that can be used to add cleaner/chemical to the incoming water to boost your cleaning power. They generally give you a 4 to 1 ratio of water to soap once it comes out the nozzle/attachment.
      For house washing, you can use standard household bleach mixed more or less 50:50 with water and add a squirt of dish soap. Put this mix in a bucket or large container then run a plastic hose from that bucket into the inlet port on your pressure washer. Before applying the chemical, rinse your area down first with clean water using a white/red/or green tip, then apply the chemical using the BLACK nozzle/tip. Wait about 5 minutes for the chemical to work then rinse off with clean water. You don't normally need much pressure to get a great job when using a bleach-based soap mix like this but it is handy to have the extra grunt for stubborn dirt. Make sure you rinse chemicals off plants asap or you will burn leaves and kill plants.

    • @richardplastino792
      @richardplastino792 Před rokem +1

      Yes, that's what I was wondering. Seems like it should be vacuumed up and disposed of either in a garbage can or maybe the sanitary sewer although the latter would need to be checked out with the wastewater treatment entity.

    • @RonS.-ts8ec
      @RonS.-ts8ec Před 9 měsíci

      That's the water you drink. It goes down the drive way to the gutter, n to the waste water treatment plant. Then back to your faucet
