Great job! Your Spanish is spot on

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

Thank you! And “spot on” is very generous for how well I speak Spanish so that’s definitely appreciated 😂. Always learning and getting better though!

[@reyglez107]

California is watching. Thanks for the info. “Buen trabajo”bumblebee!!!

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

Much appreciated my friend!

[@jimhendrix7776]

Lol that hot water heaters hilarious!!! Pretty much the same thing as an oil burner furnace :)

Will caustic soda beads and degreasers melt and break down asphalt?

[@antonioervin6627]

When applying those products, shouldn't you have a respirator on

[@Greg-zr2pf]

If I see a dumpster pad that bad it's a good indicator that the inside of the restaurant is dirty. I wouldn't eat there

[@Greg-zr2pf]

It's good to see you don't skimp on the chemicals

[@HeathWyman-ml1vo]

Downstream the sodium hydroxide, and put the brush down, time is money

I'm looking get into pressure washing restaurant dumpster pads but worried about grease runoff water, I dont know what machine I even need for that,or the methods etc, also don't have a big budget, should I avoid grease or what should I do, I can't seem to find any videos on runoff water/grease process or recommended machines/methods

[@schylerricherzhagen7522]

Did you find any useful methods or videos?

[@EnemyOfTheFlesh]

I appreciate your video and the information provided within it. I'm about to buy my first power washer and give this trade a shot. Starting out as side work and hopefully it will grow into something more full time. I actually hoped to start with dumpster pads because no one around here seems to do them. As a rookie heading out to get my first gas powered machine. What would be a better machine to start with on a budget? My max budget right now is about 1200 for machine and other supplies needed. Thank you for your time and greatly appreciate any advice.

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

My biggest personal advice is to be patient and resilient. It takes time and mistakes to get to the next level. Equipment wise if you’ve got a “northern tool” near you they have good pw stuff. Avoid Home Depot and Lowe’s if possible. I’ll do a video on downstreaming so if you don’t know what that is you need to. Very simple and effective. And you don’t necessarily need a surface cleaner for dumpster pads. I would go as big as you can on the pw. You get what you pay for. My advice would be to get a pressure washer and take the money you make from your first jobs and then buy a surface cleaner. And then work your way up to upgrade to at least a $2500 machine and $1000 surface cleaner. You want to have something that has at-least 5gpm (gallons per minute). Gpm are more important than the psi.

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

And your chemicals you use matter. Anything from Home Depot or Lowe’s.. again.. don’t waste your time and money.

[@EnemyOfTheFlesh]

@@bumblebeepressurewashing615 Thank you for the advice and I look forward to watch you upcoming videos.

[@norcalnewsnetwork]

Bumblebee degreaser is that your own brand? Others are using Gold Assassin. What your take on this?

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

@@norcalnewsnetwork yes, that’s our brand. And I’ve never heard anything bad about gold assassin. But ours is also a high quality degreaser. I try and offer a product that’s equal to the most used brands for a better price. My main goal is to build a brand.. profits are secondary to me. And in order to build a brand you have to have good stuff! Which we do.

[@Decimator8097]

I would love the opportunity to learn from other pressure washing companies, I'm wanting to start my own pressure washing company and putting dumpster pad cleaning on the list of services.

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

That’s what it’s all about! There’s a ton of info online and in Facebook groups. Make sure you’re subscribed as we will be coming out with more how to videos.

[@warriorofgodfitness488]

Do you also use sodium hydroxide for oil and fuel stains from vehicles?

[@makycaris4672]

Very good work very impressive results

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

Thank you!!

[@makycaris4672]

Nice I’m a bit concerned can you add the lye caustic soda in water and spray it or add in degreaser? I heard that’s the main ingredient that makes all

[@ericwieboldt7042]

You would have to do a good job in order to have repear customers. Would have been nice to see the finished peoduct😂👌

[@PaulArrington-x1d]

Do you have to have a Vacuum system to suck up the water or is it ok to push it all to the nearest drain

[@michaelperren8914]

What temperature do you set you burner to and how much throttle do you give while surface cleaning with hot water?

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

As hot as it gets. And the same pressure you usually run at.

[@TheGonebald]

Are you using a water recovery system? If I get caught not using it in my area fines start at $500. Great job!

[@ericwieboldt7042]

Do you really think this hack is using a water recovery system😂

Different states have different regulations.

[@salassiedonatto463]

I’m thinking about starting my own business doing this any tips?

[@acepressurewashing_]

Where do you let all the dirty water go bc when it dries wont it leave a film?

[@ethanrevilla5639]

my only question about this is what’s being done with the water afterwards? Is it left to dry somewhere or are you recovering it

[@rubennaranjo6278]

Great information 👍

[@environmentalbinsllc7601]

great video sir 🤜🤛

[@nathanielholsey4680]

What is the range of how much can you charge for a dumpster pad cleaning and how often do most places let you clean them thanks.

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

That varies widely. Frequency depends on the place. If you can set up every month or quarterly that’s good. Price range is is usually about $250-$400. Depends on how bad and how often they want it done. Always try and make at the bare minimum $100 an hour (gross).

[@raiden9284]

there's no pressure coming out of that ball valve. What's your GPM and PSI?

[@chrisdavis1681]

Nice sir were did yu get the brush set up thanks in advance mr Andrew

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

That brush and pole you can get at pretty much any hardware store for under $25. Short hard bristles for this. Also keep a soft bristle brush for gutter brightening. I have a video on that as well.

How do you deal with competition in the area like are you always being undercut or pushed out of areas or is there enough of the type of job your after to go around

[@douglasedmonds8372]

All that scrubbing would kill my old ass!

[@franciscocamarillo5087]

What do you do with all the grease from the dumpster pad?

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

It depends on your state. Definitely want to look up regulations- if any.

[@floridadadvader]

Hey bud' can I ask what hotwash machine your using? Thanks

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

It’s called a hot link

[@briangutierrez8886]

Great video thanks! I’m starting to do these. Getting a hit box soon. How much do you charge for these? I charge $200

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

I charge $300-$350. If you do $200 you’ll find yourself rushing. I charge a little more and that way I can take my time, use all the chems I need, and really do a quality job. If they do a monthly or quarterly deal I’ll come down to $250. Make sure you write down every little expense and see what you’re making at the end of it. Biggest and most common mistake is underestimating what you’re actually making after taxes and everything. You gotta make enough to not only live but grow the business and keep reinvesting.

[@briangutierrez8886]

@@bumblebeepressurewashing615 got it thanks. I’ll see if I can charge a little more. But pressure washing prices in Florida are way cheaper than any other state

How do you move the dumpster to clean the pad??

[@Circadj]

Great video! Is the powder SH better than just down streaming degreaser with liquid SH?

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

You don’t really need Sh on these. Only reason I would is to maybe help reduce the bad smell.

[@Allcoastlawnandpressurewashing]

Where did you buy the caustic beads?

[@Inosens697]

Would love to see some before and after pictures

I never get super excited about before and afters on dumpster pads. Although they are clean and a big difference.. super dirty pads never look perfect. It bothers my perfectionistic side.

What do you do with your runoff water do to epa you cant just let the water flow into any public drain

[@_Julie_Bee]

Every state is different.

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

In California they would probably string you up and stone you.. most other places it’s not an issue. If you do have to do something with the runoff I would probably triple the price.

[@NSF020]

Whats your approach to the manager.

[@bumblebeepressurewashing615]

I haven’t approached any of my commercial jobs. But if/when I do I would just contact them and say “I noticed your property was dirty and I would appreciate the opportunity to provide a quote with a couple different package options/contract options for monthly or quarterly cleanings.”

[@jakeweinstein6809]

Where is all this toxic wastewater going ? How do you dispose it

[@kdaltex]

Typically if it's able to be hit by the rain then recovery isn't required because it was already normal runoff. Parking garages must be recovered because rain doesn't touch the inside but outdoor lots require no recovery. Depends on local ordinances but typically that's how it is
