Steady income during the off-season
Paul, Toronto, Canada
I am presently starting a pressure wash business in Toronto. Business is good, but how can I find steady work during the winter?

From Alyssa Siebolds, Brainerd, Minnesota Think college students. I am sure there is a college in Toronto. Think entertainment and inclusion. Sorry, can't think of anything you can use your pressure washer for. Never stop trying, positive people create positive outcomes.

I would suggest looking into doing interior pressure washing. Commercial and industrial sites often need machines/floors cleaned. You could market it as a recurring service (janatorial), getting contracts that state you will return monthly/quarterly/etc. to wash again.
