Everything I've learned using bleach for pressure washing (chlorinating liquid)

[@travispittman5287]

To help all the lawn guys that aren't used to this. I own a pressure washing company. You can add bleach to your first wash but it won't change much. First soak down the area then use a detergent/surfactant in your sprayer to coat the area you are going to work with. If you are dealing with a large area you might do it in sections to keep it from drying out. After that wash it off using your surface cleaner(ensure your pw has the right gpm and pressure to run the surface cleaner you are using, usually they are rated for a certain gpm/pressure. I think that is where a lot of the streaking in the video is coming from) after washing it the first time rinse it off. This is key. Let dry afterward as much as you can. Not only will this allow you to see anything that you may have missed. It will stop you from diluting your after wash. Once it is dry and you are satisfied you have done as much as you think you can with the surface cleaner, That is when I take my 10% bleach and surfactant mixture and go over the driveway. I spray it on and leave it on. This will do exactly what you expect bleach to do. It will even out the color in the surface and make it much whiter/ cleaner. You can wash it off after leaving it for a day to do its job, but I usually just leave it. Let the rain wash it off. People have asked about bleach killing vegetation. It absolutely will if you don't take precautions. First precaution, soak down the vegetation around where you are going to work and keep it wet. This will help dilute any overspray down to safe levels. Lastly once everything is done rinse down the plants once again to ensure any overspray is diluted. Us wash guys don't want to keep the public in the dark about washing. We are just help when needed. ****Always understand the chemicals you are working with and their interaction with each other. Understand what to do if you are exposed to them and have a plan for emergencies if an exposure occurs****

[@jdroofcleanpw]

I've had a pressure washing business for 13 years, and can give you some tips. First of all, don't wear a backpack sprayer. Even diluted bleach can give you a pretty nasty chemical burn if that thing leaks on your back. The best method is to use a downstream injector to pre-spray the bleach directly through your pressure washing hose, then surface clean the driveway. This doesn't necessarily cause the driveway to come cleaner, but it loosens the dirt up and lets you wash a little faster. Then rinse, then spray the whole driveway with bleach through the pressure washing line again, and use your concentrated sprayer to hit the bad spots. Don't bother rinsing it off, let it soak into the pores. This will make the concrete look like new when it dries. Most of us in the pressure washing business refer to all of it as bleach or SH for sodium hypochlorite. We don't make much of a distinction between the different concentrations, we just assume everyone is getting the highest concentration available to them and then diluting it to what it would need for your particular job. Most of us use 12%, and yes that stuff will give you a pretty bad burn if you're not careful. If you accidentally get some on your skin you've got a few seconds to wash it off before you start to feel it. Any longer than that and it's going to leave a mark. Always wear gloves, a respirator, and and sunglasses. In fact, I always wear long pants, rubber boots, long sleeve shirt, and a hat. The combination of the hat bill and the sunglasses helps quite a bit to keep SH mist out of my eyes when I'm spraying overhead.

[@00700556]

Wait- the last part you said “don’t bother rinsing it off”. Are you saying when you post treat you don’t rinse the bleach off?

You can tilt your surface cleaner to one side before squeezing the trigger, it will prevent the initial burst pressure to the concrete causing the big circle marks.

[@joelzrythm5344]

Another method is making sure it’s moving before pulling the trigger

[@stephenpieczko397]

I’ve been in the pressure washing business for awhile now and I wanted to give you a few quick tips. What you did in the beginning of the video is great actually. Now since it was sped up and there was a cut once you put the SH onto the concrete you will want to let it sit for about 7-10 minutes for it to start loosening up the organic growth and dirt. Moving the surface cleaner in circles not only will that prevent etching and streaks but you’ll have the perfect overlap as well and be able to go faster whether your surface cleaner has wheels or not. Also you are most definitely walking too fast with the surface cleaner go slower, you don’t need to do the process twice on a section you are doing. What I do and maybe you should try is cutting your sections with surface cleaner down smaller I usually walk about 6ft backwards and go over that same line forwards and move down. You’ll realize with these tips you won’t be spending 15-30 mins on a 15ft section of driveway. Instead of that driveway taking 4 hours with everything you were doing extra including all that it’d take half that time

Giving away trade secrets Brad !!! This stuff is liquid gold ! I use a mix of blue dawn dish soap and the chlorinating liquid, the soap gets up underneath the dirt which makes for a quicker rinse.

[@charleswise5570]

Be very careful mixing Chlorine products with anything else. Dawn dish detergent doesn't contain ammonia, but does contain chemicals derived from ammonia. That mixture does still produce costic/ toxic fumes that can hurt you, or even cause death. I've even witnessed people who were sent to the hospital, because they put household bleach in their dish pan with dish detergent.

Loved the 1 minute summary. It makes sense, if you don't follow the right process, there will probably be a layer of dirt that won't pressure wash. Honestly in my opinion, using chlorination liquid when pressure washing is not worth it for a better finish.

[@aviationlocation7993]

This is factually incorrect. Surface cleaning 2 times with a strong post treat will FAR outlast the clean of 5 passes with a surface cleaner. All about killing the organic growth so it doesn’t come back. Same idea when washing a house. Not trying to be bitter, just trying to inform :)

I know you’ve probably figured this out by now but do a pass up and then go backwards on the same run at the same speed. Make sure when you do the next run you have the surface cleaner an inch or two over lapping the previous run. That should eliminate those streaks and also it’ll do a better job at cleaning the moss and gunk off.

You might want to use a less dilute solution. You also might want to try letting the first quick spray off dry first so that water doesn't dilute your bleach solution.

[@boomknight1015]

From what I learned starting out and watching videos. Downstream injector, apply at the end. You're not using it for "streaks" You are using it for the mold that will show back up after you leave or even before because mold takes more time to remove with just pressure and even then it's not enough.

Pro tip. 50/50 water and chlorinating liquid mix, throw in 8-10 oz of dawn dish soap. Post treat using the a downstreamer. It’ll be 10-1 ratio. With it being so thin you won’t have to rinse again. Just make sure you rinse off anything that should have bleach on. It’ll dry into pure clean.

Excellent work my friend.

[@dirtynewschannel]

Looks good! Concrete is very inconsistent in my opinion. Age, type of concrete and severity of stains all play a roll obviously. Some need a pre treatment, some don’t. Some need a post treatment, some don’t and I’ve experienced the weird striping with just a pre treat. Some don’t need either. With all that in mind, I pre and post treat most driveways. If it’s not close to suitable when it’s time for the post treatment I break out the soft wash setup and apply a stronger mix.

[@tallguywindowcleaning]

To correctly do this. Pre and Post Treat with a 1.5-2% bleach mix. Spray before pressure washing, covering all of the concrete. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. Pressure wash. Rinse Concrete. Spray with bleach mix again. Leave the mixture. Do not rinse it off. Tip: Do not use bleach for asphalt. It will discolor it.

[@RiviDude]

All the stripes you are getting is also because of moving too quickly on the first pass or poor equipment. I am far from a professional or owning a business. But I do this quite a bit on the side for extra cash. Even with the basic equipment I have going at the proper pace keeps me from ever having tiger stripes. And I've only had to use bleach on the worst back patios and shaded areas never on driveways that get full sun like they do there in Florida and Jacksonville in particular where I'm a native. Pretty sure that's where you are too from what I've gathered. Yes I know surfactant and chemicals help but a slow steady Pace works just as well in a lot of situations... At one point in your video I saw where you had great results just from a second pass. My equipment gets that same result from the first pass. So either you're moving too fast or your equipment needs to be looked at.

[@johnblack8187]

To keep from leaving marking from the pressure washer you need to be using a down streaming tip . , these kind of tips disburse heavy water flow and not pressure.

Wouldn’t the bleach kill the grass near the driveway?

[@thomasnicholas1490]

What I do is take a foam canon and attach an 8ft tubing to it, one end in the chlorine and the other on the cannon. But when I pretreat, I do it when it is dry, and I make sure I am shooting the concrete straight down from the top to get into the crevices. (You wouldn't shoot at an enemy in a foxhole from angle) and pretreat with the right surfactant (Cling On) it will make the dirt come together as a solid film and will come off a lot easier. Usually I can post treat with the canon as well(when surface is dry). If it is super porous, then when it is dry I will come back over with a 50/50 mix in a 2 gal pump sprayer with 2 oz of surfactant. I promise you this will eliminate any remaining mold spores (enemy) that the surface cleaner (carpet bomb) did not take care of. Just pre & post wet the grass. If lines are remaining due to extremely light iron on the concrete. When dry, hit it with oxalic acid. Which is very very rare..

[@brooklynprowash3307]

@@ryanforbus9436 The percentage of bleach is diluted with the water you are rinsing it with. It's also diluted down to the appropriate levels of the surface you are attempting to clean before applying. There is an alternative to using Sodium Hypochlorite (Active ingredient aka liquid bleach), which is to use Sodium Percarbonate (aka peroxide, not to be confused with Sodium Carbonate which is Soda Ash). Sodium percarbonate comes dry (powder) and needs to be mixed with water to create Hydrogen Peroxide. 6-8oz of Sodium Percarbonate to 1 gal of warm water is all you need. Be sure to mix it well within your pump sprayer as it does not dilute well (especially in cold water) and add a filter if possible to prevent your sprayer from clogging. Using Sodium Percarbonate is not as strong of a cleaning solution than Sodium Hypochlorite is and therefore will require agitation using a deck brush or similar to work in the solution. Let it dwell on the surface for 10-15 mins, then pressure/soft wash depending on the material you're cleaning. Sodium Percarbonate is an oxygen based non-chlorine bleach, although not as strong as chlorine bleach, it's safer to use around people, pets and plants because it breaks down into water and oxygen. Sodium percarbonate will only last 3-4hrs mixed before its strength begins to deteriorate. Hope this helps! 🙏🏽
