I ran to Lowe’s and bought this and had my whole house and garage cleaned and algae free within 20 minutes. My neighbors came over and asked what I used because the change was so dramatic. THANK YOU!!

[@patm5165]

Why does it take 12 minutes to explain a five minute process…..lol, nice vid, thanks!

[@rueman84]

One thing I would advise anyone doing this and using these type of materials that are used in the video is to use clothes that you don’t care about because this stuff will mess up your clothes .

[@mikecouch5751]

You offer some good advice for home owners that makes it easy to clean their property with a quick connection to a garden hose but the main ingredient in 30 second cleaner Is Sodium Hypocrite (AKA bleach / chlorine). Is simple household cleaning solution is 1 gal of bleach to 4 gal of water. Or 1 - 1 1/2 % bleach solution to whatever quantity is needed. This will save the householder many $.

[@danswansonguitar]

Wow - I’ve got vinyl on our house here in SC and have a problem on the north side - I decided to try the 30-second cleaner (under $25 for the sprayer and refill) after watching. This stuff really works - I paid way too much to have the house pressure washed last year- never again. Thanks!

[@30SecondsCleaners]

Thank you for sharing our Outdoor Cleaner with your subscribers! We still get calls all the time from your fence video, too. We love your channel and appreciate you being a fan of our product.

[@Hody491]

I used the 30-Second cleaner on your recommendation and it worked beautifully! I'm glad I bought a 3-pack from Amazon because you've got maybe a minute or two of spraying and it was empty. The second sprayer completed the side of the house. Remember to spray underneath the siding due to the ridge on the siding. Oh, and when you spray make sure you watch where the wind is blowing or standing underneath because it will splash on you which doesn't burn or irritate your skin. I didn't see Rueman84's (post below) The reason i mention it is because the little bit of backsplash got onto a decent shirt I was wearing and caused the blue in the shirt to turn into pink spots although I did not detect any bleach in the product but, it's worth changing into clothes you don't care about. One more hint.....before you throw away the sprayer, pry out the rubber washer which is actually high quality and use it for your garden hoses when they wear out.

Just had my house pressure washed a week ago. If only I had seen this video would have saved me a lot of money!! Well, at least now I know what to do next time. The main reason I had the house done is that I am 72 years old, a woman with some health problems, and thought I couldn't do it myself. Nope, I can handle this. thanks for the video. I hit the subscribe button.

[@user-si7on2bo8z]

I’ve used these product before. They do work. I’d just add the point of watering down landscape plants that will get exposed to the chemicals. Before and after to dilute and not harm the plants. I lost a shrub once because I didn’t saturate it with water.

[@jjcjr009]

It is a good idea to start at the top, you raise your bottle when it is full and you're lowering it as bottle empties.👍

[@jeffreygilbert4967]

Recently, I tried basically the same thing. It works. And it's relatively quick like he said, too. That 30 Second Cleaner ain't no joke, gets the job done and is available at the big box stores. I purchased several gallons in NJ for $11 a gallon, and it's doing great. Works great on concrete, too.

[@Q2bFF]

I started using this last year on my house because of your video on it last year. My buddy owns a pressure washing business, and he thought I paid someone else to clean my house.

[@jspinosa50]

I've been using 30-second cleaner for about 6 years. It's a miracle product.

[@jeffreyreicher5241]

The best part is … no climbing with my 24 foot ladder to power wash the siding…thanks for the video and the tip.

[@melissadimoush8196]

Thank you SO much for this video. It saved me hours of work on the north side of our house. I bought exactly what you said and did it this morning. When my husband saw it he couldn’t believe his eyes. The siding looks brand new!

[@Jimbo234GW]

OK, watched your video the other day. Went yesterday and bought the stuff. This morning I used it. Hands down, I shit you not, it works just as well and just as easy as he says it does. And, I did it his way. Pulled the red fan tab out and used hose pressure. Sprayed it twice with about 1 minute in between. The 2 minutes later I rinsed it. I sprayed from top down. I am sold. It worked beautifully!!! Hell, I went and told my neighbor and showed him. He was just as impressed. Did the vinyl on my whole house in 2 hours. Took my time, it was hot out. Last time it took a day of applying cleaner, scrubbing, then pressure washing. Never again, lmfao. TYVM!!!

[@drymoonproperties]

Vinyl siding has weep holes if water does get behind the siding it will weep out as needed and dry out. Another cleaning solution you can use is made for swimming pools it won’t harm plants and cleans siding very well without harming plants or animals.

[@1ronhall]

Doc .... I use the 30Second cleaner too. My house is tucked in the woods, all four sides. for hard to reach places, I pour the concentrate into a weed sprayer, mix 50/50 with water, spray, then hose away from a safe distance. My next use is to use my battery operated back pack sprayer to see if I can shoot 40 feet high (further than the hose can shoot) .... Last, I've noticed the cleaning results improve over time. This stuff works!!

[@lifesmusings]

This is the most amazing thing i learnt from KZbin! Thanks for this!! Just cleaned my sidings yesterday and one thing worth mentioning is you need a proper hose not the ittybitty self coiling ones. You have my sub!

[@tedd8055]

Gotta like a guy who says "Sammich".

[@stevejackson4136]

Bats will eat threw the fiberglass screen inside your vent. Typically on the north side. If the bats are gone, put hardware cloth over the outside of the vent. You can’t see it from the ground. You do not want bats in your house. Also this is good stuff and I like your vids.

[@Papi-mg5ck]

Bought some and worked like a charm, 1st time I didn’t break out the pressure washer. Thanks Doc!

[@richardroman24]

Thanks Doc for all your solutions from lawns and even this I will never spend the whole weekend pressure washing again.

[@jimpatterson3286]

This is definitely going on my to do list. Thanks 😊

[@andyserrano3165]

I was a pressure washer user when it came to the house for years. My neighbor turned me on to 30 second cleaner, that stuff is amazing. Took no time to completely clean the house.

[@1lmbernard]

Thanks for this video. I actually work at Home Depot and stock this stuff on the shelf all the time (it sells like hotcakes). I have a problem with algae on my white aluminum siding and wondered if this really works. (There are so many brands that claim the same thing.) I’ll be taking your recommendation and buying the sprayer and the refill as well. Again, thanks!

[@jeremiahjohnson731]

I use a adjustable brass angle piece with pressure washer nozzle at the end of a 15 foot extended pole for pressure washing so I can direct the water at the nozzle tip downward on vinyl.

[@bonniemiller4106]

I’m new to all of this so I totally appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

[@LongBinh70]

You turned me on to 30 Seconds in your fence video. Yesterday I tackled my wife's 33-year old lawn tractor (JD 322) that had been sitting in a grass field, under the shade of a maple tree, for 10 years. "Moldy" would be an understatement. Mixed up a batch in a 1-gal pump sprayer 50-50, sprayed, hosed it off, repeated, and it did a fantastic job!

[@jamesschott6466]

DOC! Absolutely amazing👍 Waited after watching your video, and then got the nerve to actually do it. It was so amazing, it was hard to believe. Used the Thirty Second Cleaner just as you described and my wife was amazed. I have siding on three sides of my house and completed the back side, and will finish tomorrow. Thank you for keeping it simple and real.

[@kajala11]

Love, love, love 30 Second Outdoor cleaner!😍 Works wonders on all mold & mildew from fences, to siding & on outdoor furniture! It's the cheapest products on the market too!😁 Found it thanks to your vid comparison on fence board products.🥰

[@igorgelfenbeyn8833]

thank you, perfect timing, was planning to powerwash this weekend.

[@DavidS-pw5gd]

Thanks Doc! The 30 Second Cleaner does work very well.

[@ruggedmotivation5454]

I was shocked of how easy it was great tip thank you! No need to pressure wash knowing this tip. Again Thank You!

[@melindaivey4772]

Looks good. I use that as well. Don't forget the eaves and downspouts!

[@keithp115]

Perfect timing with your post. Using this method today on our family cottage with the same color siding as yours. Thanks!!

[@juliahelland6488]

We're definitely going to try this on our house. Thanks for sharing!

[@sara-mc3rk]

I have watched about 40 videos on how to clean siding and yours is the best one on this product. I'm heading out to Lowes now. Lol. Thanks!

[@masonball7826]

Just finished the front of our house and it is basically a MIRACLE PRODUCT. I kind of look forward to next year.

[@adamghazal9204]

Next project on the list. Thanks Doc!

[@ElainesDomain]

Thank you. I moved from dry/arid weather to Doc's weather. Glad I saw this as I was going to buy a pressure washer.

[@BigBear843]

Tried the 30 Second product today and it worked well. Thanks for the tip Doc.

[@gonzo2.0]

Great video I wish my house's roof peak was this low, that is pretty simple for sure. No way you can hit the peak of a two and half story house with water pressure from a garden house. I use a foam cannon ( low pressure) on a lance on a small electric pressure washer and get fantastic results. Beautiful yard my man thanks for the share.

[@observer4497]

I showed my Husband your video back when you did the fence product competition and he is hooked on 30 second…

[@BS-j1965]

Hey, Doc, that was really cool. I'm a 76 year old woman and this looks like something I can even tackle, one thing though is it safe to use around plants and animals........let alone humans :))

[@hawkinswdesign]

Oh i love 30 second outdoor Cleaner. It works better than anything I have tried to clean my vinyl siding and concrete patio.

[@acorona1963]

OMG how happy I watched your video!! I’m a subscriber and believer in 30 seconds outdoor cleaner! I have deep mold on the front of house due to no sun. This stuff works as you described!! Man so easy ! Good advice keeping bottle full when using on high areas. And remember to remove red cap on nozzle for high areas.

[@theresabaker336]

I have been using this for about 2 years now and works fantastic

[@ajdog1]

Thank you for posting this, it saved me from more letters from the HOA! You're strategy worked fast and effectively. 30 Seconds makes a great product!

[@Bryanb28]

always hear commericials for 30 second outdoor cleaner and wondered if it was worth it, def will be using this next time i wash my house, thanks for the review

[@RaymondBarrett]

Oh my! Amazing. I paid someone to pressure wash my house. Damaged in places because they went so hard. I'll try this next year. Amazing!

[@garyday5936]

It worked fantastic ..30 seconds after first spray it was almost clean 1 minute was completely clean then rinsed ...amazing thanks

[@wilrausure6901]

AWESOME!!! You saved me lots of effort and energy.

[@akatopj22]

30 sec cleaner worked great for me.on my fence and house 1 to 1 ratioBut seemed I could of dilutedit more though .Love your videos helping me with my lawn

[@carlaritchie331]

Great benefit to find your video! I've tried using a different brand and it was a waste of time with no results. Glad to know this works plus there was no plant damage or need to protect the foundation plants. Going to give your suggestions a try!

[@aileenrivera8992]

It looks great and clean thanks for sharing, love the video.

[@tidefan4987]

Love all your videos Doc. Great job again.

[@angelinspires1111]

HOA is on everyone's case about washing their home. I was going to hire someone to pressure wash. Sike! Great DIY project! It was fun and my home looks Amazing!! Thanks for sharing😀

[@lmwestbrook]

That was a Bat Doc! Good job with the mildew/algae

[@ronaldnayman4841]

Love the fence video you did with 30 Seconds cleaner also.

[@bartman5849]

Saw this at Sam's this weekend and was thinking about trying it. You've made up my mind for me. Thanks for the info!

[@sapphirerain70]

Awesome! Thank you! I been trying to clean this stuff off my house for 2 years. ❤️🦋

[@MrBeeman59]

Awesome info! I'm definitely afraid of pressure washing my siding. I'm heading to Lowes to get the 30 second stuff.Going to stop at Menards first because it is closer.

[@simongsmith]

Thank you for this, I just bought this from Amazon using your link and will try this week! Thank you!

[@corrie-onagoodday1226]

Love your calm vibes. that tomato 🍅 yum. Wise dude.

[@garyp9906]

Awesome video and thank you for posting! I'm going to get me some of this stuff. In the past, I would spray with a diluted bleach mixture and it was a paint to do the whole side. It worked, but this seems so fast! Thank You!

[@yvonnemartin5772]

Just in time. Was going to power wash mine in the morning. Had a quote for $400 and decided to do it myself. Instead I'll try it your way. And cheaper too. Thanks.

[@debbewojack7211]

I ordered the sprayer and 1 gallon from Home Depot and tried it out on the worst 2 sides of the house (they were pretty darned green). I have gray vinyl siding, live in Florida surrounded by big pine trees so it is shady. It did an OUTSTANDING JOB!!! It is better than when I hire the pressure washer guy for beaucoup bucks. I immediately ordered two more gallons. When I do the whole job next time It will take 2 gallons to do the whole house. Thank you it was super easy and I could do it all by myself:)

[@freddielee8500]

I like the idea of no scrubbing with this stuff. Gonna try it.

[@coreydavoll7622]

Thanks Doc! This worked great!!!

[@flyingfox5640]

Amazing product!!! Worked just like you said it would! Was figuring I needed an extension wand for my 2000PSI electric pressure washer in order to reach the second story of my home...to wash off the surface dirt that accumulates every year, and tackle the North side algae build-up that I've been dreading. N.B.- Been tackling it with a scrub brush and soapy water as far as I can reach for the past two years, but bought the pressure washer ultimately to get the higher regions. (Even bought the two piece "second story" spray tips - pink & blue - thinking that would do the trick. Joke was on me!) Decided to watch a few KZbin videos beforehand to pick up a few "pearls" before commencing, and found yours to be one of the most impressive. While at Home Depot picking up the extension wand, I grabbed a bottle of the RTU "30 Seconds" ... as a 'just in case' plan A failed, although I really didn't think it would be used. Extension was useless, so it exasperation I simply attached the bottle of 30 Seconds and "BAM!" ...... the rest is history! Didn't need to stay on but a few minutes (overcast day; 9-10 am), then rinsed clean off. Can't thank you enough!!! No damage to vegetation beneath...rinsed before and after. P.S. While returning the extension wand, I was speaking to another woman waiting in line about how well the product worked, and she went to get some as her husband was going to do their house the next day! 😎

[@msstevens5374]

I came across this video Just. In. Time!! Omgudness! Thank you for posting. I've never done thus always see to buy but never bought. Thank you for posting.

[@docsteve309]

..and I was just getting ready to power wash!…Doc thanks so much!👏👏👏☮️👍

[@elgranjero2284]

Thanks, about to do mine. Good tips.

[@johnmckee6483]

Thank you for your information because my house really needs it this will help me alot

[@HMNthao]

Thank you for sharing! Purchasing some now!

[@Karen-qz7vs]

I got the 3 pack from Amazon and I did exactly as you said. My home looks great! You’re video is definitely the best. I heard you say remove the red tab and read it on the bottle. I’m a little slow but I got that removed on the 2nd spray 😂. I shared pics with friends and already got numerous complaints. Thank you so much for tips.❤❤

[@mikeswink1031]

Thanks for this video ! I was going to use my pressure washer , but after watching this video , just use my garden hose

Great video and a great product! Thank you for the information.

[@catherinemurphy873]

Amazing. Just what I need. Thanks for the great video.

[@mrwillwgp]

Watched the first half of your video and bought some a minute later. Thank you!

[@XloMotion]

I began using 30sec cleaner after watching your video. That stuff is no joke on my wooden fence

[@deborahbarbaccia6813]

Hi, what is the brass fittings for that you put on the end of your hose? I have a two story house. Will my regular hose pressure reach the second story? Or do I need some sort of spraying nozzle? Ty great video.

[@barbarat5729]

I love you! You just saved me the cost of a pressure washer.

[@nans969]

Great tip for taking out the fan spray thing. I can never reach our 2nd story. I can't pressure wash my painted aluminum. It oxidizes and chips the paint. I have an older cape cod. I have to wash 9ur siding 2 to 3xs a year. Especially the front which gets zero sun. North side.

[@Duma39]

OMGGGG. I’m gonna get this stuff! I think this is actually easy enough for me to do!

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting this video.

[@sndgokey]

Wow that looks great thank you

[@b.brannan932]

Doc how do you fill the 64 oz spray jug with a refill out of the gal jug ( the smaller jug says non refillable)

[@kat_transmutes]

AMAZING! So glad we came across your video before trying a power washer. This stuff works wonders! Thanks for the recommendation.

[@nancyberland4866]

Great information! Thank you! I an excited to try.

[@rosehenderson2874]

Great video! Is it effective for free sap on vinyl? Will this solution damage shrubs and plants?
