Before hitting the road, it’s crucial to get your trailer properly set up. Always remember to hook up those safety chains, plug in the lights, check your trailer lights and ensure your trailer brakes are connected. On our current setup, we’re using a 12ft trailer (nicknamed “Bin Watch 12”). 

Turbo Nozzle Upgrade

We’ve recently upgraded our pressure washing setup with a new turbo nozzle. This handy tool makes cleaning more efficient by allowing more water through, which helps maintain constant pressure and reduces pulsating issues. Get yours here: https://amzn.to/4h8eWaS

Why Use a Turbo Nozzle?

 • Enhanced Cleaning Power: The turbo nozzle creates a swirling spray pattern, which is perfect for those stubborn spots in the cans.

 • Durability: Despite Florida’s humid climate causing some rust, this nozzle has proven to be a robust addition to our cleaning arsenal.
