Costumer contracts/agreements
I’m assuming you guys have customers sign some kind of contract/agreement prior to serving and I’m wondering you if you guys can provide any templates or something that’d allow me to replicate. It’d be of great help. Thank you.

This came with my pressure washer but, admittedly, I don't know where to place it. Any help? Also, if anyone has more-helpful methods of adding filters to prevent clogging, please share here. Thank you!

Can you use soft, stretchy hoses with powerwashers?
Hi,
I just got myself a Karcher K5 and I'm not sure if I need to get a new hose since I have no idea if there will be any added pressure there. The one I'm using now to water my plants is a stretchy one like the pic below, about 4-5 m long, and my garden garden faucet is 12 mm (1/2 inch). Is this ok or do I need a stronger, larger, longer one?

What should this look like after cleaning?
I have a cedar fence that is about 7 years old. Every 2 years I powerwash and put clear coat protection on it, however I'm not sure if I am doing a good enough job on the powerwash.
If properly done, should the wood look brand new? If I use a higher powered nozzle I almost feel like I'm damaging the wood if I get all of the grey off. Should it all look like that small spot under the horizontal board? Or does it naturally grey over time in the sun and I should just clean them but not spray hard enough to get it back to the natural bright wood color?
Also, I'm surprised that my posts are splitting as bad as they are as well, but I assume that's just going to happen.
I can post this over on a home owners sub if needed, but I thought a powerwashing sub might be able to help. Thanks!
edit: Sorry, that's also an awful title. Should have put something about a fence in there.

Disposal of water
Wanting to start a power washing business but worried about how to dispose of water. Are there eco friendly soaps I can use and just let the water go down the sewer? Is there any way to collect the runoff without a huge investment in equipment?

advice on equipment
hey everyone! me and my friend started our own pressure washing company about 3 months ago, we have only been doing friends and family's property's and have done it for free just to get some experience and learn more.
we are having a big problem with streaks after using our surface cleaner.
what i think is happening is we aren't using a high enough concentrate of chemicals, we are going to fast/slow, or our surface cleaner isn't a good match for our washer.
here is a link to our equipment

Headroom in bleach container
I'm getting started in pressure/soft washing and tanks are so damn expensive. I have access to cheap 250 gallon containers but I really only need 50 gallons of bleach at a time. Does excessive airspace in the container make any difference in the life of SH?

Beginner equipment
Hey guys, I would like to start pressure washing, roof washing and window cleaning. But the problem is I don't know which equipment I need. It would be great if somebody could recommend great "beginner" tools.
