Thanks for posting this, I gained valuable knowledge from this. I'm a noob doing my first house wash on my setup today--my house, lol. I never thought about taping off keyholes, outlets, etc. God bless you good sir.

Scott I do the exact same thing about the way you do things. I even go to the point of bagging video cameras at the Bank Branches I clean to make sure I/they don't have any issues! Nice job on your video recording 🙂

Very good video with some great tips, especially about using painters tape over electrical outlets. Appreciate this video, Scott.

Scott, I have grown with you brother. I have PressureSoft Solutions, LLC out of Biloxi, MS and we have been growing daily. Love the straight forward and honesty in every video you guys post. Keep up the great work!

Yeah we do everything like you as well. I will say we learned the hard way and we cover the top of the outlet plates too. One wasn't sealed good where it met the brick.

Great video , thanks for all your help!

Useful content thanks for sharing dude.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your TTPs! (Techiniques, Tactics and Procedures) wash on, Brother!🤙

When you described the garage, I do the same exact thing! Step for step lol. Same with everything else. When we go to the grocerie store I usually take a whole thing of bags to use for lights, cameras etc. lol

This way a great job and very helpful for us looking to start our PW business 👍 thank you 🙏 and God bless

I appreciate the thoroughness

Very informative video, thanks!

Thank you for the information sir!

Thanks for the video

Thank you sir 🙏🏾

Man I very rarely move anything. I make sure my customers move everything before I get there. It’s so much more work having to move things. The only time I’ll move things is if they are old or disabled. And I’ll charge them extra if I do.

Great video!
