The urban artist; tags and graffiti

    The urban artist; tags and graffiti, with the warmer weather the urban artist can now stock around once again. Have you been tagged or bombed with graffiti. In most cases Cleaned by Pete can help.


    Called out to help a customer they had been tagged with some foul language on their walk-way, I am not showing the before picture of the wording and language used, needless to say it was in green paint on potpourris concrete. You can't get it all out but we removed most of it and you can not make out what was said. The tag started at the street and ran up the walk-way toward the home.

Yard-signs: the new Cleaned by Pete employee

Yard-signs working hard to get the sign right before printing. Most who follow my blogs I like that employe that keeps working hard and gets paid very little. The investment in some new yard sign is in order. While working a couple of weeks ago for one of our regular customers, that we clean and house wash for, they deal with buy and selling homes. Seeing their sign I started to come up with this idea for a new yard sign using their sign as a guide line for my new sign.  This is their sign:

Yard-signs seem to be that great employee for me. I use them while on jobs that I do then I can leave them there to keep working. The older signs are starting to show some ware. Time to hire some new employees to stand proud and promote what I do. Working 24/7 in all types of weather what more can you ask for? These are some signs I've used over the years, some are better than others but most have brought me returns.

But now for the new crop of employees this is the interview period I would guess. Seeing what one will be the best fit and will work for us in the future. Which one has the most promise for the company.

 Playing around and working on getting the yard signs ready for printing. As always I have do make a bunch of different formats and get the ideas down in the computer. Then get the idea of what makes the best look and what everyone likes. Then tweak them around a bit. So here are the profs for the signs so far.

 Why did I base my sign on one of my customers signs? Well I have seen this sign in and around town and it always attracts attention and is very visible. Using the yellow color as the background, with standard black lettering I thought we'll see what it can do for Cleaned by Pete. Keeping it simple has been my advertising agenda for years.

Beat old man winter on this one.
