Behind the Hose: The Salo's Pressure Washing Winter Update
This year, when the temperatures dropped and the hoses finally dried out, Salo's Pressure Washing officially shut down for the four-month winter season. But while the washers may be quiet, our business definitely isn't. Winter is one of the most important times for us—not for the work we do on homes, but for the work we do behind the scenes to make sure next season is our best one yet.
And if you know anything about us, you know we're always aiming higher. After passing 250+ Google and Facebook five-star reviews, we're going into 2026 with more momentum than ever.
Here's what happens at Salo's Pressure Washing when the sprayers turn off and the real planning begins.
Reflecting on What Went Right—and What We Can Improve
During winter downtime, we look closely at how the previous season went:
- Our best customer interactions → What made them great? How do we repeat that on every job?
- The tough moments → Where can we improve communication, timing, systems, or workflow?
- The little details → Because customers remember details. And that's exactly why we've earned so many five-star reviews.
This time of year gives us space to step back and make sure the experience we deliver in March is even smoother than the one we delivered last October.
Tuning Up the Tools That Keep Your Home Clean
Reliable equipment = reliable results.
Winter is when we:
- Deep clean and inspect every piece of equipment
- Replace worn hoses, seals, nozzles, and fittings
- Upgrade tools that will make jobs faster and more consistent
- Double-check everything so that spring appointments never get delayed
We treat equipment maintenance the same way you'd treat maintaining a car—do it early, and you never have to worry later.
Reaching Out to Customers Who Never Got to Leave a Review
Something we love doing every winter is contacting the customers who never got a chance to post their review during the busy season. And every year, without fail, we end up getting 10–20 new five-star reviews just from people who still remember the great experience they had.
That means a lot to us.
Not because of the number—but because of the fact that the service stuck with them.
Improving Systems, Workflow & Customer Experience
We also take time to overhaul our internal systems:
- Tightening up scheduling processes
- Improving communication templates
- Simplifying preparation instructions for homeowners
- Reviewing pricing consistency
- Minimizing mistakes and making the whole experience feel smoother and easier for customers
The goal: fast, flawless, stress-free service for every homeowner or commercial property owner we work with.
Rest, Recovery & Coming Back With 100% Energy
The busy season is intense. It's early mornings, long days, heavy equipment, and nonstop physical work.
Winter gives us a chance to:
- Reset
- Recover
- Refocus
- Come into spring feeling fully recharged
That way, when your project comes up, you get our absolute best every single time.
2026: The Year We Grow Our Team for the First Time
Here's a big announcement:
