How much, and when, should you invest in softwash equipment?

October 09, 2022 2 Comments

There are softwash equipment companies who try to sell newcomers to soft washing many thousands of pounds worth of softwash equipment – before they've even got their first soft wash contract.

But in our experience, it's best to first invest in the minimum amount of soft washing equipment you actually need to get going, gain experience, and start earning good money. Money you can then re-invest in your business.

When you have some experience under your belt, and have a deeper understanding of the soft washing business, it will be time to carefully think about which softwash markets you want to aim at for expanding your business.

What soft washing markets do you want to focus on?

• Domestic properties, e.g. houses, flats, large apartment complexes?
• Commercial properties, e.g. offices, warehouses, pubs, hotels?
• Roofs?
• Wall render?
• Garden walls?
• Tarmac, block and concrete driveways?
• Paths & patios, including block (e.g. cobblelock) paving and concrete slabbing?
• Timber structures, e.g. decking, fences, sheds?
• Artificial grass?
• Tennis courts?
• Play areas?
• Boats?

Another important question to get clear on is this: "Will your soft washing business be full-time or an add-on to another business (e.g. window cleaning, office cleaning, gardening, painting, roofing, general building, property maintenance)?"

When you know exactly what you want from your soft washing business, make a plan of how you intend to achieve your goals. The primary tools you'll use to formulate your plan of action are clear, focused questions.

Apply these questions rigorously to yourself and your business ideas, allowing them to guide your thinking about your business, and you'll soon have all the information you need to make a watertight plan for success:

• Who?
• Why?
• What?
• When?
• Where?
• How?

Then, when you are clear on which soft washing markets you want to focus on, and have clear plan for the growth of your business, it will be time to think about the specific equipment you need to take practical action.
