pressure washing trash bins
hey guys aside from driveways i've branched out into an untapped market in my area pressure washing trash bins i was curious to know if anyone's doing it and what chemicals // soap you use i've been using just my standard sh i used for driveways im very curious to know what else i can do and have you guys worked in housing developments?? where would be a good spot to wash the bins at since there's not really too much space to do it on their porch without getting trash plaguing the neighborhood

We wash ours with downstream injector, or xjet. We rinse can first, and pour into a 5 gal bucket with a mesh laundry bag in it. This allows us to get up all the large stuff. We usually do this in the side yard...picking up anything that is left. Then we use house wash mix...1 to 2 %. We ad a tablespoon of dawn soap be cause it gets grease great. After we are done we spray straight fabuloso into the can, the lavender smells great...pump up sprayer. We schedule for the day of pickup or day after. We give new customers a $100 hotel gift card for a 6 month commitment. ( you can get these cards...for $1 a month gets you 100 of them, per month...good at over 1,000,000 hotels) We also use them to introduce and hook property managers and realtors...

Correction..sorry. $99 a month or about $1 each...
Advice on this.
I’m thinking about adding this to my setup. I am currently running - Kohler 20 HP belt-drive pressure washer - Pump rated around 6 GPM, but your bucket test was about 5 GPM - Typical working pressure around 3,000–3,500 PSI - Diesel burner/hot-water system, rated around 4 GPM - 100-gallon buffer tank with a Hudson valve - 38-gallon chemical tank - Downstream injector located after the heating coil - 20” surface cleaner - Electric high-pressure hose reel - Spare reel - Hand-crank water-supply reel - Sludge sucker - 750W inverter - AGM battery I want to know if this would be a meaningful upgrade or if I should wait and find something different. https://pittsburghsprayequip.com/products/pittspray-softwash-setup-10-0-gpm-bleach-pump-hose-gun-and-nozzles?variant=42119681179839&_gsid=VsqP8XK4SS5s&utm_source=chatgpt.com&utm_medium=feed

Those 12volts work great, I used one for 2 years. Results vary in terms of longevity...some last a month some last a year. We chose an ar 45, keystart, with the Honda 200 engine. It has been on the truck for 3 years. Zero issues. We use it for houses and of course mostly roofs.
Update
Hello I’ve built more reviews on google ive finished around 60% of the course and I will say it 100% gave me a lot of direction I know it is late in the season but I know by next season and on i will be dialed i was talking to a homeowner I gave a house wash to and she said she knows pressure washing is gonna die down she asked what I was doing over winter I said I will probably hang Christmas lights she said she wants hers done and that whole neighborhood gets there’s done so I’ll learn that I am fixing my truck I got up aswell I am wondering if I should upgrade my machine to a 4gpm first or save for a f250 and go for a skid

What we did was hustle like crazy all winter, look at your funds in January and decide by the end of the month..enough time to order and still have it for the season start...for us mid March. Budget decides what you can do...if you can swing an 8gpm machine with hose reel and tote in the bed of the truck your productivity will double. 1 man, 1 truck, 8 gpm = 5 houses a day!

@Mel M this time of year can be tricky with ads, in a lot of the US the season is winding down...
Hydraulic fluid
How would you go about getting hydraulic fluid out of the driveway?

For hydraulic fluid on a concrete driveway, the two F9 products I’d focus on are F9 Double Eagle + F9 Groundskeeper. F9 specifically lists both for oil/hydrocarbon contamination. The F9 process I'd use 1. F9 Double Eagle — first This is the heavy degreasing step. F9 specifically recommends Double Eagle for oil, grease and hydrocarbons. Their published dilutions are: Very heavy contamination: straight Heavy: 1:1–5:1 Moderate: 10:1 F9 recommends a 2–15 minute dwell, agitation on heavy areas, then surface cleaning; hot water is preferred. For a hydraulic-fluid spill, I'd probably start around 1:1 or stronger, assuming you're dealing with unsealed concrete and a substantial stain. 2. F9 Groundskeeper — second This is where it gets particularly interesting for an oil stain that has soaked into concrete. F9 says Groundskeeper is for oil and hydrocarbons, but the standing/topical oil should first be removed with Double Eagle at about 5:1. Groundskeeper is normally used around 10:1–15:1. In fact, F9 specifically describes Double Eagle followed by Groundskeeper as a “1-2 punch” on oil stains. I'd approach it roughly like this: Absorb/remove excess hydraulic fluid → Double Eagle → agitation → hot-water surface clean → Groundskeeper treatment.
