Removing oil stains
 

Hi All,

Sometime back someone posted that they had worked a business of removing oil stains from driveways and parking lots.

Would greatly appreciate hearing from that SOWPub'er.

Hi,

That was Don Alm that posted about oil stain removal.

You might do a search of the archives to see if it's still there too.

Hi linda.

Pete is correct, Don Alm has sold a package in the past on how to do it.

More recently it was KBAYER ( not sure on spelling) that posted some results with it.

If you would like to see a product and talk to some folks that distribute a product.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the reply. However, someone else posted that they had done this for awhile. (Not Don).

Hi Jason,

You are right. Now, if KBAYER would only reply.

Is this a service that you are looking to offer?

If so, there are many here that may offer helpful input to make a go of it.


For instance, If this were something I were interested in providing, I may do a local search for commercial property for sale in my area, then contact the listing agents and or property owners to offer some inexpensive curb appeal.
I would do the same with residential property listings as a service to their driveway, garage and possibly basement.

Given time, this method is sure to deliver more and more work.

Best wishes,
Jason

Hi,
I'm still here... I did it for a while with good success and I am confident that I could have really done well had I stuck with it. Now that I am employed in a "real" job (9-5'er), I'm really considering going back to it and doing evenings and weekends. I'm in Texas and it seemed to be raining EVERY day while I tried to get this up and running several months ago which can be incredibly frustrating and was the only downside a the time... oh, and finding business owners that were actually "in" was quite challenging as well, as I had no sales experience at the time and found their absence strange, but later learned it was quite the norm. Any specific questions??

Hi everyone,

Special thanks to...Pete, Jason, Kbayer, and Phil.

Yes...I am planning on starting a Concrete, Asphalt, Sidewalk cleaning business.

Looking at different cleaning products to start with.

Question: What product do you recommend we start with?

409 is an excellent degreaser... The US Navy uses it to clean their jet engine parts. Saved millions of dollars compared to the commercial degreasers. And Purple Degreaser By Gunk is also a good product that you can use on concrete and asphalt. Also, if you are pressure washing, you need to get a concrete scrubber. Basically its a brush/jet contraption that you can attach to your power washer. They run around $150 at the pressure washing equipment co's. BUT they are well worth your money when it cuts your time doing driveways and sidewalks by half (or more). When I owed my parking lot sweeping business we did a lot of asphalt/concrete repair and cleaning. If you have any specific questions just shoot me a pm.

later.
