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.

    Cleaned by Pete removing graffiti and cleaning a bit of sidewalk in the process.

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.

Promotional sign we use for a while it still finds use at fairs and expos.

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.

Small job Wednesday: sometimes we have a bunch of smaller jobs

Small job Wednesday!

 Sometimes we have a bunch of smaller jobs so we'll lump them all in to a day if possible. From Billings, Ozark and Springfield MO it was small job Wednesday.  Just made it in form a day about the area. Some odd jobs today were a painted drive-way cleaning. I was contacted over the phone for the drive way cleaning it had been painted and distressed. Owner put the home on the market wanted the stains lifted and do what we could to make it look better. Cleaned part of the fence front stoop and sidewalk all small jobs. Then to clean beams inset in the front of a home. The biggest problem was the height about 19 feet to the bottom of the beams that needed cleaning. Had the whole neighbor hood out including several mowing services watching me clean this one, owner was very happy to have them cleaned. Then some fertilizer rust stain removal seems the crew had gotten a little heavy and sprayed the home's siding and garage door. Our house washing mix lightened it but Cleaned by Pete went all the way and removed even stains that were left on the home and door. Home owners were amazed at the results which have been there since last year.

Some pictures and a short clip showing you what Cleaned by Pete can do and does.

Working on the painted, textured and distressed drive-way using our adjustable height surface cleaner. Know the proper pressure and height to use is where our years of doing this comes into play. To much pressure may cut and remove the paint and distressed areas or could chip off the top layer. Making the old drive-way look worst. Doing what we can safely and without harming anything is the line we are looking for.

Drive way cleaning Ozark MO.

A painted driveway, looking "old world" heavy stains including oil and rust along with algae, moss and mildew, owner asked, "Do what you can I know its' in bad shape". Cleaned by Pete pressure & power washing did what we could. The paint, texture and distressed areas were hard to clean with out removing or damaging it.

Finishing up the concert cleaning the paint and distress look made this hard to clean. Too much pressure will damage the surface, to little will not get the best cleaning. Our adjustable surface cleaner works great for this.

Fertilizer stains to be remove, the front garage door and side of the home was covered with fertilizer rust stains. Seems the folks the did their fertilizing and plants got a little heavy on spraying the walls. House wash lightened it to what's in the first picture but Cleaned by Pete got that off also home owners were amazed at the results.

The height was a problem for other but Cleaned by Pete was able to get the job done right.

Cleaning beams on this home, not a hard job but the height had stopped everyone. Cleaned by Pete pressure & power washing did this using a step ladder and our regular equipment and attachments. It is 20 feet to the top of the bottom beams or that is what the homeowner told me.
