If your doctor walked into your operating room and proceeded to perform surgery without even washing his hands, how would you feel? I'm not suggesting that you clean your equipment after every yard--you'd never get to everyone. But if you're working on a lawn that you KNOW has some disease problems, you owe it to yourself and your next client to clean your equipment. A simple solution of 1 tbsp bleach in 1 gallon of water will kill most disease organisms. In fact, do that as soon as you arrive at the site. Showing your client that you care about the health of his landscape is a great way to build a good relationship.
