Together, this publication contains a wealth of information invaluable to the power washing professional.

"Power Washing entails much more than simply renting or purchasing a machine then finding something to clean. Power Washing is a science, incorporating physics, hydraulics and chemistry. It requires ample training to clean correctly and efficiently...one goal of the Power Washer's Guidebook is to educate end users on proper cleaning methods as well as areas that require extra caution." --Allison L. McGraw -Editor
