Hi I want to buy some surfactant When you have 15 gallon soap tank and you use 1 gallon that’s surfactant. When your use Soft wash Proportioner How many percent 1% 2%3% need to use it.

I love y’all man. Everyone at SESW is awesome and I love that you are helping people make a living. And since y’all are right in my back yard basically, I’m extremely thankful for the resources y’all are providing. I can’t wait to get my equipment. Videos like this fire me up. I have the old surfactant and love it and now I’m excited to get the new!

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Heck yeah!

[@peanuthead1397]

Another outstanding video Cody. I always adjust the amount of surfactant I use on a roof cleaning based on the roof pitch to reduce runoff. Steeper roof will get more surfactant and slight pitch roof will get less surfactant.

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

That’s right!!!

[@rustytownsend450]

Now I know why I was always a fan of Drawl over slang. Looking forward to trying the new formula. Could smell SH more using the cherry.

[@NoName-be5ir]

Suggestion on doing a drive way then doing a entrance to a restaurant . Do you keep soap and SH in separate tanks . I’m not really set up to do houses. I mostly do parking lot striping and surface cleaning store front concrete and walk ways. I have a 4gpm machine, 16” surface cleaner with a 275 one tote. How should I go from using soap to using SH?

A good surfactant makes a huge difference! I'm up in Northeast but will buy some to try out come spring!

[@trilakesoftwash604]

I am glad that you made this video. I noticed the new labels on the bottles I received. I was using my 12v and easily noticed the darker color of surfactant. I first thought that I misjudged my ratio but knew I had it right. I like it better than the old stuff. Both are good but I do like the cherry. BTW thick….

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Good eye!

[@jontimonere1276]

Do you have a surfactant to bleach chart? How much surfactant we should use depending on the % of bleach we are using?

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Surfactant usage isn’t really determined by SH settings. It’s a adjustment made based on the surface and the type of cleaning job.

[@jontimonere1276]

[@Frindleeguy]

You want roof snot.

[@SLF1990]

I would think that’s way too much surfactant mix. I would think you would use one gallon surfactant per 10 gallons water.

[@CSJiGSaW08]

Whats the setup ratio for a pressure washer? How much pool SH do you mix with water and adding Surfactant? Is this the best for roofs and walls? Also, can you let me know I have black stains on the white gutters, have not cleaned them for years. Thanks.

[@jayfarino3721]

Hey Coty, I am in Houston (in the heat ha!) and I currently don't use surfactant when downstreaming. I do seem to have to reapply SH quite often when its really hot to make sure it doesn't dry up before the SH starts working. Do you think I should add surfactant to my bleach tank? If so, I know you mentioned the ratios in the soap tank but what would you mix it at in the bleach tank (for downstreaming)? Like one ounce per gallon... I have a 55 gallon tank, so about a half gallon of surfactant? Thanks so much

[@1mean1]

You can definately add surfactant (SOAP) to your bleach mix. Remember to get a surfactant that is alkaline based because bleach has a ph of approximately 11-13. Purified water can take alot of alkalinity out of the water thats the reason there's usually a charcoal stage added for drinking water, Without it, the water would not taste good and be brackish.

[@johne.meyerconstructionser7507]

I am not complaining, but isn’t 104.99 abit high per gallon or did I read it wrong. I am just asking ty

Hi Cody, I was having trouble softwashing a 30ft tall chimney. It’s pretty old and it’s made of a bunch of stone. I tried a 6% strength in a 3 gallon bucket, and it still didn’t work well. I had used Ajax to help it stick but I don’t think it did much. I was wondering if I got this surfactant it may help it stay and dwell on the chimney. What is your insight on this.

Same here brother.!!

[@mike_paschos]

Coty, maybe a dumb question...but can you mix surfactants if you're running low in the tank and we want to switch it up to another kind, or do we avoid cross contamination with these as well? Already running low on the southern slang and want to fill her up with drawl now. I assume it's safe to add it right in there on top of the slang. Should of asked this at class last week! Thanks!

Ok i been on the 12v for some time now have the southern slang works great.. now I am into the downstream world now that's what I have been doing all this year. So my question is. I made a 5 gal batch of southern Slang a month ago I was just looking at the rig and the 5 gal mix southern slang/water it is not red anymore. Its clear..... Do you think it still works? will the sun just kill the color? its been in a big 5 gal jug without the lid on it out on the field. So I add more to it and it doesn't turn red.
