Pressure washing & soft washing
Houses soft-washed by the storey, driveways and decks by the square foot, roofs treated for moss — jobs that start as repeat work, a schedule that opens on the map, and a house-washing page on your website. Daybook speaks washer.
Pressure washing is a route trade, so Daybook wears the route shape for it rather than a contractor’s — the shape it opened for snow and ice. A house is not a job site, it is a property on the route; a visit is a visit, not a site visit; a new job starts as repeat work rather than a one-off; and the schedule opens on the map, because the question on a washing morning is which properties, in what order. Underneath, the trade is its own: house & siding soft wash, driveways, walks & concrete, decks & fences, roof moss treatment, storefronts, lots & buildings, fleet washing and gum & graffiti removal as service types; a property setup sheet, a visit log and a seal & stain record as checklists; a starter price list from a single-storey soft wash to a pail of sealer; and the words on the screen are a washer’s.
The deck is the part that earns its keep, because a deck is two visits and not one. It is washed and brightened on the first, and sealed on the second — once the boards are dry — and the seal & stain record is the form that holds the gap open: dry days since the wash, the moisture reading, the weather window, the product and the number of coats, care notes for the client, photos of the sealed boards and a place for them to sign. It attaches itself to a decks & fences job, and it will not let that job be marked complete until it is filled in.
On top of everything Daybook does for every trade — the full list is here — pressure washing gets its own tools.
A new job starts as a repeat rather than a one-off, because most properties are washed again. Set a cadence — weekly, every two weeks or monthly for a commercial or fleet contract — and the visits are written onto the schedule ninety days out and topped up as each one is marked done. Where the round is annual the cadence is recorded on the property setup sheet — every spring, spring & fall, monthly, one time — and a single wash stays a single visit.
The schedule leads with the map for a washing company: the day’s properties as numbered stops in driving order, the drive time and distance above the list, the order yours to drag — or press Optimize, see what it saves, and Apply it. The calendar is one tap away.
The gate code and access notes sit on every job, and when there is nothing on file the job says so and points at the client’s page. The property setup sheet carries the rest of what the rig needs: what the siding is made of, storeys and rough square footage, which outside tap works or whether to bring the buffer tank, and what to protect — beds and shrubs, open windows and vents, a pond or pool, peeling paint, the power meter.
Soft wash by the storey with the soffits and gutter exteriors, gutter brightening by the foot, driveways, walks, patios, pool decks and garage floors by the square foot, paver cleaning and re-sanding, concrete and paver sealing, deck wash and brighten, seal, stain, fence by the foot, roof moss treatment by the square foot or by the roof, storefronts, lots, dumpster pads, awnings, gum and graffiti, fleet by the unit, and the cleaners, brighteners and sealers by the jug and the pail — a labelled starter list on day one, with your own prices on it.
A property setup sheet from the walk-round; a visit log that records the method on each surface — soft wash, surface cleaner, the wand, hot water, hand brush — the solution and its strength, whether the plants were wet down, covered and rinsed afterwards, anything damaged, and photos of the surfaces once they are done; and the seal & stain record for the return visit. Attached to the right jobs automatically.
Soft wash and surface cleaner, house wash, brighten, seal and stain, moss treatment, the spring route, the plants, the property — drafts and job summaries use a washer’s vocabulary, and the auto-classifier files green siding as a house wash, oil spots as concrete, a grey cedar deck as decks & fences, black streaks on shingles as a roof moss treatment, and a strip mall or a row of trucks as commercial or fleet.
This is not copy — it is what the app says to pressure washing businesses, word for word. Most trades see the left-hand word; you see the right.
Your account starts with a real pressure washing site template — a house-washing page included — edit it in the app, and the quote-request form drops leads straight into Daybook with the property address already on them.
Your own properties beat any feature list — book the wash, and the seal record is already waiting for the day the boards are dry.
