So I've been a window cleaner for 16 years and 9 months ago I started my own business with a handful of other services. About a year ago my long time customers started asking me to get into pressure washing and being around it all these years I knew just enough to do some side walks and driveways, and some vinyl siding. I've done well so far. I have heard a lot lately to never ever use sodium hypochlorite on wood ever. I've got this big job coming up and I'm doing the perimeter, it's brick and that's no problem BUT some areas at the top of the wall are painted cedar shake. By watching this video you are telling me I can put up to 6% of S-H as long as I rinse it after?

[@SoftWashFactory]

Well it depends on the situation. I can just tell from doing it so long, but you can downstream at 1% or I usually use 3% mix for wood siding.

Thank you very much for your response. Very helpful. @@SoftWashFactory

After a week, the wood will dry and what will you use to preserve it?

I’ve been researching how to do cedar siding, and I am very happy to find this video. It’s not cedar shake, but I’m sure it’s the same process for cedar siding. Are you using any surfactant?

[@SoftWashFactory]

I usually have some in the tank but not too much

Olive oil and krud Kutter mix cleansing very good cedar

[@iamBIIZARRE]

do you have any videos on pricing jobs , or how u schedule , or how you keep recurring customers do u give them deals? But awesome work! ive only cleaned a few cedar sidings with same method as you not any roofs yet but looks awesome. I also find people do the same damage or more trying to pressure wash there decks then sh could ever do.

[@SoftWashFactory]

Exactly

[@SoftWashFactory]

I don't have videos like that yet but will do sooner than later

What do you charge per square foot on a shingle roof

[@ebcrypto1672]

Would love to see what this looks like dry

[@Freeflorida123]

You sprayed 6% onto the gutters and it didn’t damage the paint???

[@SoftWashFactory]

No not at all

[@lightball1414]

Is it necessary to wet the wood down with water before appyling SH?

[@SoftWashFactory]

Yes! reason we do it is to get the wood full of water and not bleach.

[@tjfisher9019]

Plus pre wetting allows for the sh to work on the surface better. Plus the national housing association calls for bleach on cedar shakes.
