Have you ever seen those videos on TikTok or Instagram Reels of guys pressure washing dirty road signs, walls, and driveways? Here are a few examples:

It’s so satisfying to watch the dirt just melt away under the pressure of the water. I think that I’d really enjoy pressure washing filthy walls and driveways. It looks so satisfying and relaxing that I could literally do it all day! Maybe I should?

I’ve been spending a lot of time indoors—too much time, in fact; always in front of the TV or staring at a computer, phone, or tablet. That needs to change. I’d love to be more active and do something active outside! I’d also love to find a way to generate more money to speed up the progress towards my Van Life goal.

Most of my life has been spent doing geeky things indoors, and I’m honestly rather sick of it. I want to do something different; something physical; something outside; something satisfying and relaxing! Pressure washing filthy surfaces seems like the perfect thing; it could be both satisfying and financially rewarding.

Why sit in an office all day staring at a wall when I could be outside, working with water, enjoying the satisfaction of watching dirt melt away while being active and engaged in the activity and earning money doing so? Yes, please, sign me up! I want to start a pressure washing business!

It could also be a way to generate an income to supplement Van Life expenses; I could offer the service on a national level and travel to where it is needed (if the equipment used will be compact enough to fit inside a van along with an interior camper build—maybe a dedicated storage compartment?) I want to do it!

Time to do some market research to see how viable this will be in the local market, find out what tools are needed to get started, and put together a business plan.

It’s just an idea but it would honestly be so satisfying!
