Wash On Wheels Gets Tips and New Gear at National Power Washing Convention

Last week, Cynthia and David took some time away from overseeing day-to-day operations at the shop to head to the annual Pressure Washers of North America (PWNA) conference in Orlando, Florida. PWNA is the leading national organization representing our industry by promoting safety, quality, and professionalism through education and networking opportunities with fellow members from across the country. This year, they teamed up for the first time with the International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) to focus on a wide range of exterior cleaning demos, hands-on training, workshops and networking.

We picked up a lot of good information the training sessions and were able to meet with a number of vendors at the tradeshow to get close up looks at their latest equipment, chemical and service offerings. Maybe the most productive part of the trip was finding ample opportunities to meet and chat with many fellow business owners who shared tips and tricks on improving our services and growing our business. These few short days inspired a number of plans to add new and improved services to our repertoire in the coming weeks and months.  We are very excited to share the details as the pieces come together. All in all, it was a very productive trip.

But the icing on the cake came as the last day of the trade show wrapped up. PWNA gives away a number of prizes throughout the event each year, with the “grand prize” being an excellent hot water pressure washing skid manufactured by Hydro Tek. It’s a top professional quality unit designed to last for years of high stress daily use. Units like this cost several thousand dollars a piece – well worth the cost for a company like ours when reliability and durability matters. But in the case, we won’t have to spend that money because we were the lucky winners of the drawing. The headline photo above was taken while we were still in the initial shock of our good fortune. PWNA President Clint Reynolds is behind and above us along with some of the fine folks of PSI Pro Group, who donated the skid for the drawing. We are eagerly looking forward to it’s arrival in Colorado so we can add it to our inventory and start putting it to work cleaning our customers’ vehicles and property.
