Comment | I am an industrial supplier to commercial cleaner, small business owner operating a commercial cleaning business, municipalities, office parks, retail, schools, food manufacturing, etc, in the greater Southern CA area for the last 21 years. I proudly come from the Anaheim community located in Orange county. I employ 11 workers and we take great pride in the service we provide the community. Within the last year, we partnered with Orange County Conservation Corps, multiple municipalities, fire department, LA County Fire, OC Parks, multiple school districts including OCUSD, Anaheim, Perris, Tustin. The list goes on and on. Our equipment is used to clean and sanitize schools, food venues, municipal areas, parks, bus stops. Gas engine pressure washers are used to clean and the main/most efficient tool we use is an internal combustion powered pressure washer. There is no replacement for pressure washers on the horizon in an electrical unit. Beyond this, all of these companies, institutions, or organizations have crews working daily. The mandate of no internal combustion engines being considered would eliminate the jobs of nearly all of our staff. The level of cleanliness in outdoor areas and in our manufacturing facilities, schools and public buildings will fall to dangerous levels if cleaning by pressure washer is eliminated. We care deeply about a clean environment for both the health of our neighbors and beauty of our community. Pressure washers are necessary to so many to provide a clean and sanitized area. Pressure washers also help to reduce water usage because they actually use less water to clean than cleaning with a hose. Thank you for your consideration. Let's keep America Clean and Safe. |
