I’m just starting up business. But you are doing us a great deal of justice by letting us know your mistakes. Granted this is how we learn. Thank you so much 💯🙏🏽
You got this! thanks for the support mike
Really good advice and vibes from your channel 👍🏼
Thanks for your vids bro! I appreciate it very much!🥳🙏✌️❤️
Assassin for the win!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, all those rookie mistakes i have done them myself at least once. The Medusa is one of my favorites rigs!
Hey man, I'm new to the business which I started in August of last year and I'm really enjoying your channel. It's super beneficial! Thank you so much!!!
I just want to say thank you for everything you are a blessing for me
Loved the intro. Now to watch the rest!
Great video. Lots of insight and advice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm in Tega Cay SC and know the July weather. Own a lawn service and added house washing this year. Your vids are awesome and learn a lot from you. Thanks for the help!
It's great to hear that you're working with your dad. I'm considering asking mine to get involved to help ease me into 'hiring staff' 😌
Thanks for sharing the good and bad!
Great information! The pre-trip checklist is a great idea. I ran out of gas my first two jobs without a gas can on the trailer and 30 minutes worth of work left to do. Needless to say, it's a permanent fixture on the trailer now! Live and learn.
Glad it was helpful! the gas issue has happened to me too lol
Real deal thanks.
Straight fire video 👍
Thanks for sharing this! I thought it was funny that you’re two big mistakes were with people you already knew. Wonder if it was a comfort thing? I’m in the real estate game and I swear anytime I do a friend/families deal, those are the ones to cause me problems! I felt that bro 😂😂
Absolutely!! it may have been a comfort thing. thats a great point!
Been watching your videos all afternoon.
Glad you like them! thanks for the support Shane!
Hi mate thank you for all the video’s you put out your video’s have help me with my own business .
Glad to hear it. thank you for the support!
You look all set up. Plus grillin like a champ 🏆 killin it bro, good for you.
I appreciate that josh! thanks!
Thankyou !! 🫡🫡🫡
Love your style from the videos, info and bbq 😍 I’m in bay area Cali, just trying to make some extra cash on the side this summer from pressure washing. I’m a little intimidated cause it’s not a “legitimate” business with no license or insurance, I just wanna do simple jobs to make some extra money, and so I need to be aware of all the things that can go wrong and bite me later. Bbq lookin great btw 😊thanks
😂Great stories!
GM Kyle you killing it good luck am out giving up business and flyers Cards .. I use a perfect model for My Every Day.
DO IT RIGHT OR DO IT TWICE.
Doing my research now on starting my own, with my brother. We are in CA, and I know with the drought, waste water and water usage is a big issue. Still trying to navigate all the requirements for this business here in CA. Thanks for the knowledge
Leave that hell hole
Hey boss, I am a local washer in your area and have been following your channel for a while. I appreciate the info you give. It’s funny because the only reason I am reaching out to you is about the way you grilled that corn lol. Get you some fresh corn in the husk, soak it in water for about 10 minutes or so… so it doesn’t burn as fast and then toss it on the grill… it’s a game changer man.
Keep on Keepin on
I appreciate that. I cook it in the husk often. someone brought it prepped like that for the cookout
Awesome content! When you say cooldown the house do you mean rinsing before spraying product? Also would love to hear a thorough list of things to have for jobs in order from most important to least important, that would be such a beautifiul video for all us starters🥹
loved the video brother...
Glad to hear it
burnt up my first outlet this season. it was painted over same color as siding, didnt see it till i sprayed it. got the customer to kill power, put my blower on it for a few mins, ran to lowes for a new outlet & plate, replaced an outlet for the first time in my life. all good, got paid. double check outlets, and i now have a fire extinguisher on the truck! lol
I am a journeyman electrician looking into starting a pressure washing business give it a shot! I was watching your videos and seen that you ran into a problem like that with the outlet I think that was my calling to just do it what is some good advice to someone wanting to get in it!? I got family who need pressure washing done so I feel confident about it? On starting on jobs just a weekend thing with my side electrical work
Low and slow for the W! Looks awesome boss! Great tips, too!
Thanks! did that soap arrive yet?
@@softwashtv6315 Yes sir, it came on Friday! Was gonna pop in and let you know. Thank you so much! 🍻
Awesome video brutha! As always! Im wanting to get in touch with you about classes whats the best way to do so? Thanks!
the next classes will be in the spring of 2023 bro. if you have some questions hit me up at info@unitedsoftwashnc.com

Good looking bbq , what time should I be there for dinner!! 😂great job on the video!!
lol!! thanks man. ill bro posting a pulled pork video soon!
Great video
Thanks!
Good video. A LOT of truths
Much appreciated
hey Bud, I see a lot of washing videos but no one seems to cover the outlets is it required considering rain doesn't trip the fusees
💪work brother.
Mannn that chicken looked fire homie!! Lol I was watchin ur video and almost wrecked my car looking at that chicken lol😂
it was delicious bro! one of my favorite meals. drive safe! lol
Great video BBQ looks awesome brother 👌 👍✌️
thanks Scott! going to do a big cookout in the spring for all the local guys ill hit you up!
Sounds good let me know what we can bring. ✌️
Curious- what type of tape do you use to wrap your electrical outlets?
Great video man, what kind of CRM are you using?
I use market bro!
By the way I love your posts ..you do it right
Have you used Hubspot CRM? If so what do you think?
That chicken looks so good
So the first rookie mistake, what exactly happened, if i may ask? Is it using to high of a percentage on wood? If you could elaborate that would be awesome.
what did you do to fix the deck situation?
Put a 3/8 to 1/4 quick connect adapter in the glove box with a extra jrod (old one) for the oh crap where’s the gun moments. I have been known to forget crap. Have a backup whenever possible.
Which would be better as far as getting more distance a 1/2 , 5/8 or 3/4 inch flexzilla hose for soft washing with either a 5.5 gpm 60 psi or a 7 gpm 85 psi pump
If I come up for a ride along is the chicken barbecue included?
Yeah boy!! Thats a meal
thanks buddy!!
One of my recent mistakes was when i was trying to get my last job done for the winter. I had the wrong values on when i was flushing out the antifreeze from my pump, didn't realize that some got into my fresh water tank. That was empty at the time filled up with water and got to the job site got everything stretched out was on the farthest point away from the truck was letting what i thought was fresh water run before i began applying soap water keep forming. That's when i released i had antifreeze in my fresh water tank. By that time with the limited day light i didn't have time to drain my tanks and flush them out and return to finish the job before dark. Rookie mistake!
thank you for sharing! mistakes happen. its how we learn and grow. keep up the good work
Can you make a video showing your wands and tips you use for soft wash and pressure washing
coming soon!
As a black man from the south... You did that chicken justice my guy💯🤟🏾😂

Your welcome brother! I’m in BC right now. It’s my stomping grounds I’m from seaside! I’m actually in sunset beach right now! Lol
@@softwashtv6315 lived in leland my whole life been a fire fighter here in bc for 17 years and a asst. chief for 6 years now . i also own a rental house in conway but again thanks for all the info!!!!!!
Probably gonna be a dumb question but how do you get "bad bleach"?
that chicken 😋 all we get near the coast in the UK is fish n chips and maybe hot mini donuts
y'all have a lot of awesome stuff over there too my brother! thanks for the support!
I grew up outside of Calabash, live 20min from there now. Brother I need help, I got a 4gpm pump on a Honda gx290 and my pump body runs hot, brass head is cool, diverting into my buffer tank. Unloader checks out, do you think my motor is to small. Any help will be much appreciated.
What’s your business man? I live in Calabash too, I meet Kyle not too long ago, he pulled up on me while I was working
@@kevinpowers7766 I'm in Holden Beach now, My business is Down South Construction LLC, iv always washed my customers house i do work for. But I started pushing more wash jobs than maintenance and built a wash trailer this year.
Got the best looking rig in the game!
I appreciate that bro!
I showed up to work without bleach after 30 minutes drive 😁
Lol
Treat the work truck like a fire truck. When a fire truck shows up on a scene, you will (or shouldn't) never see the firefighters running around looking for a particular tool. There is a spot for EVERYTHING, make sure that all items are in their place. Too many times have we shown up without an important piece of equipment.
Damn son, Let's EAT!
Hey Brother I need your help I have bad calcium on my costumer briks . What you recommend to clean it off ?
Long story short the bottom of the driveway is always wet and the calcium is Really bad .
Please help
f9 efflo works very well!
Thanks buddy
What tape do y’all use for outlets and other things?
red stucco tape for most jobs
@@softwashtv6315 thank you for getting back to me
You look like an older Steve will do it. I mean that in the best way lol.
lol!!
Dude you didn't have a backup trigger gun come on I could smell that barbecue from here brother
I’m from South Carolina
Do u kno any one that does logos n website
Where are you in South Carolina??

What CRM do you use?
markate
Did you repaint the deck
yes I did
Hey Kyle how you can tell you have bad bleach ahead of time?
Dark Meat chicken is where its at son
damn right!
Hi Kyle. I have been a power lineman up north for years. We bought a house around Wilmington NC and I am seriously considering a pressure washing business and I have a pile of questions. Do you have an email address that I can correspond with you? I do not mind paying for your advise and experience. Thank you very much.
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👌💪💥🇺🇸
Pig is king but chicken will work in a pinch as long as it’s got the right NC vinegar sauce. Shrimp at the beach gotta be Becks, oyster rock or crabcatchers!
I love crab catchers! been going there forever. I had oyster rock a few weeks ago love it there too! I agree pig is the best! esp in NC!
I remember our neighbors cooking a whole pig and partying like every month when we lived outside New Bern, NC.
good news is if pastor isn't forgiving he isn't doing his job properly
Well all been there. 😪
What's bad bleach?
old/weak in strength
@@softwashtv6315 how long will bleach sit to become weak? More or less
Yes I live in North Myrtle Beach and it gets very very hot 🔥 🥵
