When you're in the pressure washing and softwash business, every road trip turns into an opportunity to connect, educate, and help fellow professionals. This time, we hit the road with a loaded trailer, carrying Kim's hose reels, toolbox essentials, skunk valves, battery buster valves, and more. Our journey took us deep into Georgia, meeting with wholesale suppliers and locking in new distribution accounts for Southeast products. But along the way, we also made a pit stop to lend a helping hand.
A Quick Stop at Love’s: Showing Some Love to a Hardworking Crew
Our journey took us to a Love’s truck stop, where we met one of their employees responsible for keeping the fuel islands clean. If you’ve ever been to a major truck stop, you know that these areas take a beating—constant fuel spills, grease buildup, and heavy vehicle traffic make it a tough job to keep the area looking good. Love’s had the right tools—a hot water unit and a 24-inch surface cleaner—but unfortunately, their hot water system was down, leaving them with only cold water for the job.
Fuel Island Cleaning: The Challenge and the Solution
Fuel islands and diesel pads are some of the toughest surfaces to clean due to the constant exposure to oil, diesel, and grime. The Love’s employee shared that they clean the fuel islands every other month, but without the right degreaser, it can be an uphill battle. That’s where we stepped in.
We introduced him to Dynamite Degreaser, one of the best products for cutting through thick grease and oil buildup. Designed specifically for high-traffic, high-contamination surfaces, this degreaser makes cleaning fuel islands, diesel pads, and concrete surfaces easier and more effective. Even without hot water, Dynamite Degreaser delivers powerful results, breaking down stubborn stains and making the job faster and more efficient.
Why a Quality Degreaser Matters
Without a strong degreaser, pressure washing these surfaces becomes nearly impossible. Cold water alone won’t cut through layers of grease and oil, leading to subpar results and more time spent scrubbing. Using Dynamite Degreaser, however, allows for deep penetration and breakdown of the toughest contaminants, restoring the surface to a clean, professional finish.
Helping Out a Fellow Worker
To give this hardworking employee a boost, we didn’t just leave him with a powerful cleaning solution—we also hooked him up with a Monster Rehab energy drink to help him power through his shift. Sometimes, a little pick-me-up is just what you need when tackling a tough job!
Hitting the Road Again
After a quick stop, a good conversation, and sharing some top-tier cleaning products, we got back on the road, continuing our mission to expand Southeast product distribution and bring high-quality softwash solutions to more professionals across the region.
This trip reinforced an important lesson: the right tools and products make all the difference. Whether you're maintaining a fuel island, cleaning a commercial property, or handling residential softwashing jobs, having the best equipment and chemicals ensures efficiency, effectiveness, and results that speak for themselves.
If you’re looking to elevate your softwash game, make sure you’re stocked with the right gear. And remember—sometimes, the best part of this business is the people you meet and the help you can offer along the way.
