To get rid of wand marks and braking your back hunched over for hours, get a pump sprayer and do a 50/50 blend of bleach and water and generously spray upon the surface. After 20/30 mins(depending on how bad the streaks) rinse off with a hose. Having said that, it’s more bang for the results to use a professional power washing company. Happy spring cleaning all! Ps: Very well explained by this channel. Excellent details and well stated. TY!

[@AllAboutPressureWashing]

50/50 is pretty strong - thanks for watching and contributing Jeff

[@jeffheim163]

@@demetrius1lp I was referring to the homeowner and not a professional. My bad on the confusion. I was that dad who needed something to do and also have a background in painting and power washing. After transitioning from a single guy into married with children life, cleaning the small driveway and sidewalks was a “vacation of sorts”… Hope this clarifies. 🤣🙌🏼🤟🏼

[@jeffheim163]

@@AllAboutPressureWashing Does that 50/50 destroy the driveway that’s in your vid? What ratio would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your response. Many blessings good sir!

Your tips helped me so much Mike. Had a 125$ driveway clean and guy gave me a 75$ tip! Thanks for the advice and keep up the grind👊🏽

[@SlickRickTPB]

That means have a minimum and upsell to get to that point. If you have to go out to a job for $125 that could have been filled with a $700 job so charge accordingly for your time. Make yourself stick to a $200-$250 minimum and get your customer to that point with what you offer.

[@Luccc21]

@@SlickRickTPB I appreciate the tip as well, all ears to learn. My over head isn’t that much since I’m new to the business but I will keep that in mind for next jobs.

I always do my sidewalks and driveway with just cold water and it always works just fine for me. Sure it takes a couple of days to do a corner lot approx a third of a acre long(sidewalk) and a good size double driveway, and I just use this Greenworks 1600 PSI (1.2 GPM) Electric Pressure Washer with a flat spray tip.

[@joedegs123]

[@chefduane3742]

You probably won't same any money if you are only going to use a pressure washer ONE TIME to do a driveway but if you have multiple jobs to do you certainly will. One of the nice things about having the right equipment is the ability to do it yourself, on your schedule, and not waste time trying to find someone to do it. And a pressure washer can do many things other than just cleaning concrete.

[@handymangamer238]

So, he starts the video by saying that "if you are a homeowner and wants to clean your drive way professionally...." and then went on to run his advertisement for next 7 mins on why you shouldn't do it!

[@maalikserebryakov]

Context is Key.

[@jamessanders5013]

What do you think about pressure pro pressure washers for starting a business?

[@AllAboutPressureWashing]

They are solid - I've had many of their machines and never had an issue

[@aa1chris123]

Hey mike. Here in California they’re very strict about runoff going inside the sewer drains, just wanted to ask if you have your own method to get rid of the excess water left over? Thanks!

[@Redact63Lluks]

I would recommend a shop vac to suck up collecting water... Then dump the water down the storm drain when no one's looking.

[@AllAboutPressureWashing]

Don't Ask , dont Tell

[@SlickRickTPB]

if you're worried about it get a small pump that activates when the water gets high enough, put it at the curb in the road where the water is draining and put a sandbag or wet towel around it in a half circle and put a hose on the pump and pump the runoff back into the yard somewhere, the rule if anyone actually says something is that it can't leave the property so just pump it back on. Most places nobody is going to care or know what they are seeing unless you are in a very nice gated community and your runoff is going down the entire road then someone might say something.

[@aa1chris123]

@@SlickRickTPB I looked into it and that’s what I’m thinking I’ll most likely do. The only question is where exactly I can let the water out as wouldnt the bleach kill any living organics? I’m trying to do the correct thing here but seems getting rid of the water will be a huge hassle trying to find containment facilities that’ll take it yada yada, if anything I’m thinking of just dumping it in my toilet

[@brucehansen7949]

​@@aa1chris123 I'd think twice before dumping bleach infested water into someone's grass... find a dead zone if possible where it won't kill or discolor whatever is available, honestly to be real safe you may need a gray tank/dump tank. Use it to rinse the bleach off first then throw the hose into the grass. Hope that would work

[@brucehansen7949]

Just a thought, if your using a wand you can make a jig with a wheel to attach to your wand, with a set screw or some locking mechanism that's adjustable and removable. Been washing hog barns for years it's really hard on the body running 10 gpm 3000+ psi for years , washing ceilings has taken a toll on my shoulders that's what hurts me is washing upwards, driveways sound like a vacation from pig barns

[@ChopOn414]

How do you collect all the runoff into the street? I heard it was illegal to run all the dirt/grime/chemicals into the road? Any help with this would be appreciated.

[@londonianeren2263]

Do you rinse with water before doing pre-treatment?

[@SnizzleGaming]

Hey , I was wondering how much would it cost to start a pressure washing Business, and what equipment to buy I’m still in collage and trying to do this for the summer 😮

[@AllAboutPressureWashing]

I've made tons of videos on this

[@LifeNINE]

I have a question that doesn't necessarily pertain to this video but when you do a roof wash how long can you leave the chemical on if you're not expecting rain in the near future. Can chemical be left on for days or even weeks or should it be rinsed if no rain is expected

[@DucatiHyper]

Wet it and forget it. If you are doing shake roofs, get very educated first.

[@LifeNINE]

@@DucatiHyper thank you

[@quadeleboeuf7581]

I was told to only pressure wash concrete at no more than 2300 PSI and i have a Simpson 3400 PSI pressure washer, is that true and what can i get to knock down the PSI if it is true?

[@ZM1306]

I think a knob should be on the pressure washer that changes the output pressure. Your washer is rated for 3400, so it should easily do less.

[@davidba7418]

I have an entire weekend to do it for free. I'm not doing anything else. And it don't take all weekend. Maybe 2-4 hrs per driveway to Pressure wash.

Hey question. If it’s not raining anytime soon, Would I come back 24hrs later to rinse a roof after softwashing it? How do you handle a situation like that? you’ve softwashed the roof but it isn’t going to rain for perhaps a month, what do you do?
