Been pressure washing for years just spraying household bleach and then really bearing down with pressure washer on decks. (I live really isolated and getting older, started looking for easier ways, hearing so much on shows about cleaners) you made more sense to me in this video than all the other jokers I have watched combined! Now I understand what to get and how to mix/spray. Guess all these years I just been letting pressure washer and my back do all the work. Going to watch yours where you show unedited, application.

Thanks for this video, I reused a 30 sec hose end sprayer which is 1/2 gl or 64 oz. I mixed that container 3 to 1 (32 oz water and 16 oz of Pool Essentials) and then it's mixed again with the hose. It worked real good but not too hot. I had bad algae on the South of my house and it took two applications to remove it. Probably will try cutting it back to 8 oz and test that out. Keep in mind the hose end sprayer solution is 8% so using Pool Essentials is almost 1 to 1 that's why I did 3 to 1 to dilute it.

I’m using 10% pool chlorinator with a 3400 psi pressure washer. All I need to know is do I dilute the 10% with water, or do I simply put it in the foamer with an ounce of Dawn (safe for mixing with chlorine) and let the pressure washer add sufficient water to the mix that all is good. I’ve watched your video and I find it very hard to determine. A simple table of with or without pressure washer would make sense

Depends on what you are cleaning and other factors... but if you think strait on in the foam cannon is gona be to hot for the plants or paint... you can dial it back to start and work your way back up towards 100%. To get a hotter mix above the foam cannon you will have to set up a GP High Draw Downstream injector aft the pump. To get even hotter you can ad a second injector run in parallel with a bypass valves and bypass line. To get any hotter... say 5% ... you should use a 12 volt pump and batch mix tank not a pressure washer... and pre-wet and cover plants and bag down spouts.

@nifproptyltd7418 8 күн бұрын
You might have an injector that came with the pressure washer. It goes after the machine so chemical only goes through the hose and gun. Your manual will say what size the injector is. Maybe a 10 to 1. So if using a 10% SH put the hose from injector into a bucket of straight (non diluted) SH of 10% and you will get 1% coming out the end of the hose. You can get different size injectors to increase strength of SH. I think most can ever get from downstreaming is around 2-2.5% but don't quote me. If you need a hotter mix need to use a 12v pump and stuck up from a batch tank with mix of your choice. Like to get 5% mix 10% SH half half.

Took your advice on this years ago in your past videos which are very informative by the way. I use pool essentials for my applications and it works great. I also use a downstream injector to avoid running the bleach through my pressure washer as you advised in past videos. I’ve never had a problem except once when I forgot to rinse my down stream injector for storage over the winter. Needless to say it was a corroded mess by spring lol lesson learned 😃 Glad your back keep the great advise coming 👍

My suggestion is to not worry about the numbers/ratios. Just be safe. When using unknown equipment, start out thin. Put a gallon of 7% up to 10% in a bucket with a gallon of water and siphon that with 2 ounces of Dawn and see what happens. Should be plenty safe to not cause harm to lawn and plants. If the yuk doesn’t get dissolved in 15-20 minutes. Add 1/2 gallon more SH and retry. Once it works, write it down!!

I use the Chapin sprayer device ( $23.00 from amazon) and mix SH with dawn . So it costs me $4.00 to do this versus $275.00 that a company would charge me.

Dan, I watched your house wash in the past and tried Purple Power (1 Cup/gal) with household bleach (2-1/2 cups/gal) followed with a consumer pressure washer. Three years later it needs done again, normally it needs washed every year. I'm convinced the purple power slows down the regrowth of algae and mildew, its also really cheap to use in place of the dawn soap. Just picked up some 10% bleach and getting ready to wash the vinyl siding again.

Dan I need your help. First I'm a dedicated subscriber and thanks so much for the guidance. I started pressure washing and house washing in CA a few month a ago and it's been going great. Today I did a 2 story house, pale yellow color with tons of black mold on the back and one side. The siding is some kind of wood composite and seemed soft-ish, no way to i would use pressure. I down streamed your recipe with my jrod and 4gpm machine, good soap hitting the house. After 15 min none of it was coming off with a rinse. I had to get very close to the first story with my shooter rinse tip and it "would" come off with that pressure but I was sure would also cause damage and be extremely time consuming and no way to reach the 2nd story with the pressure needed. I hit it again but this time downstreamed straight pool essentials from a bucket, good coverage and another 15 min to dwell. A lite better but not much. I told the customer the mold had gotten too deep into the siding, still gave a great house wash on the rest and did the driveway for free. He tipped me $25 even. I know I did everything right but what do you think I did wrong failing to eliminate the mold? Thank you so much for responding if you can.

Needed a hotter mix I would think. Now you know the limitations of downstreaming. You might only get to 2%. Need a dedicated softwash system like a 12v pump, then you could have tried a mix of 3-4%

Good info. I’m doing a power washing on stucco. I was able to remove the algae/green with outdoor clorox 😂. But not the black stains. So yes I be buying the pool essential, so if it’s 10% hitted straight on stucco or better to mix it? I be using the black nozzle. If i have to mix it what should the mixture ratio be on a 5g bucket. High walls. What do you recommend. I can even send you a pic.

Dilute the 10% as I suggest in this video and apply it to the stucco. Let it dwell for 15 or 20 minutes and if you’re not satisfied with the results, apply another coat and then rinse it off after an additional 15 or 20 minutes

Using a pump up, I would go strong since it is very old as you say. Maybe using 10% or less active ingredients (SH) I would put 1 quart SH to 3 quarts water and an ounce of Dawn. Eat it dwell a good long while. Maybe even 45 minutes and reapply. Dwell again and rinse well

Great video Very informative. Question for you. Is Dawn dishwashing soap ok to use as a surfactant? I’ve heard to use a laundry detergent as it’s formulated to work with bleach better. Any thoughts of using a surfactant for herbicides? I have an AG surfactant I use when spraying weeds in my lawn. I’m guessing the soaps a better option as it will help lift the dirt off the surface better than a plain surfactant which just makes water wetter like you said. One more question if you don’t mind. What are your thoughts on pouring the sodium hypochlorite solution and soap into the soap dispenser on the electric power washers? I have a Karcher electric power washer since I’m not a professional and just doing my home and and helping out some of my elderly neighbors. Thank you

Listen to what I said in my video. The 7:1 is if you’re using a sprayer. Your pressure washer should not be running at a 7:1, that would be way too much product going onto the house. Go back and watch the video again, don’t skip through it. Just run the 10% straight into the siphon of your pressure washer and don’t forget to add a little soap to the 10%

I was wondering if the mix would be too weak even running it straight out of a 1:45, and other than upping the concentration of SH not much you could do but maybe multiple coats. How'd it work for you?

Also How many gallons of bleach would you typically use on a 1000SQFT driveway?

Concrete driveway. Aim for 3-4%. But could use 5-6% if really bad and only want to hit it once. If shock says 12.5% on bottle. Cutting in half will give you 6.25% (so mix half shock and half water in a tank). Cutting in quarters will give you 3.125% (so mix 1 part shock to 3 parts water)
