Good video and music. Straight and to the point

[@FunThingsInJacksonville]

Thank you for the comment Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you try the White Ox please share your experience with it.

[@lorettathomas1917]

WOW!!😯This is really bright white, love it!! Thanks for showing a great product and posting it! 😃

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thank you Loretta. It really does work well on rust stains from sprinklers. I think you will like it.

[@lorettathomas1917]

@@NativesunrealtyJacksonville 🙂Yes, so do I. Appreciate it!

[@lamarkauffman5442]

Thanks I’ll give this a try, had a customer just ask me today.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Give it a try and let us know how it worked for you. Someone else had commented that it did not work for them. I know it works for me.

[@bigshash9946]

From Melbourne, FL......great video. Thank you.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thank you for watching. Also appreciate the comment. I used again in May and will probable use it again in October after I no longer need to water as often.

[@bigshash9946]

@@NativesunrealtyJacksonville The video was smooth and easy to watch. Gonna try that stuff. Best.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

@@bigshash9946 I think you will find White Ox to be effective and economical.

[@holgerawakens7784]

your video doesn't show you rinsing the product. The label says NOT to allow it to dry but isn't that what you did? So I'm confused...if I apply it, how long do i let it sit before rinsing or do I NOT rinse it?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

If you use white ox on a darker surface and don't rinse it off it could leave a white haze. There is no recommended time (that I could find) to allow the solution to work. Even if you let it dry on a dark surfcae you can still rinse it off. Just don't wait too long. On bare concrete like sidewalks and driveways I do not bother to rinse it off because the haze won't show.

[@moregrouchy]

This is acid in crystal form. Always add acid to water. Fill your container with water first, then pour in the crystals . Best to avoid an acid in your face explosion, i always say.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thanks for the comment. That's good advice. Acid in the face does not sound like a pleasant experience.

[@myutoob2011]

Do you know if you can use this on or around pavers?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

I used it on concrete pavers, and it worked well. If you are talking about colored pavers be sure to give is a rinse before it dries to avoid a white haze from forming.

[@myutoob2011]

@NativesunrealtyJacksonville yes, colored pavers. I'm wondering if it bleaches the color.

[@HB-qr5pw]

Good informational video. However, it’s strange that the grass suddenly got much darker green, while the sidewalk and your T-shirt got much whiter! I didn’t realize White-Ox did all that! 😏 (Using a filter to edit true color)

[@BA-pg4od]

Different shadows from the sun. (Probably not using a filter to edit true color).

[@JRC2053]

Obviously the sun cast shadows which can cause the grass color seen to change. His shirt and shorts look the same to me. Are you the type that loves a good conspiracy theory?

[@tubesteakjohnson]

What???...

[@blanedavis897]

Where did you say to go to get the 10 percent military? I can’t make out what you are saying! Thanks! Blane

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

The Ace Hardware store in Neptune Beach offers a 10% military discount. Not all Ace Hardware stores do.

[@anthonyzeoli9404]

Can you use this directly through irrigation sprinklers?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

I personally would not recommend it. A pump sprayer is all you need and would provide better control of where the solution is applied.

[@jeffchandler2521]

Does this clean concrete surfaces that don’t have rust?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

No, it is just for removing iron deposits and rust stains. I have found that pressure washing is the best way to simply clean concrete.

[@blanedavis897]

No I got mine from Ace on San Jose Blvd. Would love the 10 percent discount but Neptune Beach is too far! Thanks!

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

I see. Cost more in gas than a $2.80 discount. Hope it works well for you.

[@kulotski1306]

Is this safe to use in well water the I use for cooking and drinking?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Not sure I understand your question. If you are asking if you can use White Ox with well water to remove rust stains then yes. I used well water. In fact, the whole reason I have rust stains is because I use well water with high iron contenet for irrigation. Hope that answers your question.

[@floridaprosoftwashllc.3416]

Looks awesome. Where else can I find this product? Thanks

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

As far as brick-and-mortar stores go I was only able to find it at ACE hardware locally. It is available on Amazon of course but it will cost you more. Looks like Walmart may also have it. Thanks for the comment.

[@dannylopez9109]

This stuff works great on sidewalks and concrete drive ways. The well-water and rain browns/redens the sidewalks etc. It will look like it is just redish brown dirt, but it is actually iron from the water. I always pressure wash first to get any dirt and debris that is stuck to the surfaces. Pressure washing just cleans t he surface but does not get to the soaked-in iron. They have a website that you can order directly. It is only worth it to order from there if you order the 35 pound container.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thank you for the comment Danny. I actually pressure washed before shooting this video. It makes sense that if the concrete is dirty the white ox will be less effective.

[@dannylopez9109]

Yes, definitely! I might order the 35 pounder to keep on-hand, because it doesn't take long for it to come back. Maybe a year.

[@dannylopez9109]

BTW, it is free fedx delivery. I don't have anything to do with them, it is just an excellent product in Florida,

[@dannylopez9109]

HOA sends out warnings every year.

@@dannylopez9109 Yes, I do ours every year.

[@r.a.m.productions1229]

Hello. My Son and I are getting a pressure washer setup and he's wondering about cleaning rust: sidewalks, driveways, vinyl siding, etc... He wants to know if this requires any local/state licensing, regulations, HAZ-MAT certification.

[@FunThingsInJacksonville]

I am not aware of any restrictions on the use of White Ox other than what is written on the label. As far as I know anything purchased in a hardware store or home improvement store that is openly available to the public would not require a license to use. Thanks for the comment.

[@vtxdaryl]

Just use a pump sprayer to soak the rust spots and then pressure wash it with your pressure washer or just spray it off with a garden hose. It works well on any iron spots but should be washed off with fresh water.

[@elainenilsson5472]

What happens if you rinse or it rains? Does the rust reapear?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thank you for the comment Elaine. No, the rust will not reappear if you rinse or after a rain. If the rust is from the iron in your well water when you sprinkle your lawn (like me) then it will come back after repeated watering. How soon will depend on how often you water.

[@WilliamSchroeder-r3o]

Hey does this kill the grass and plants?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

The label says that it won't, but I noticed a significant browing of the grass. I strongly recommend that you avoid spraying your grass as much as possible.

[@Jj-pb9vl]

Great video and Thank you sir!

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helped you.

[@davidintili6647]

Did you paint the sidewalks?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

No David, no paint. Just bare concrete. Now that spring and warm weather have returned I have begun watering regularly and I'm noticing the rust stains again. Time to repeat the white ox treatment for that clean bright look.

[@tracyb3198]

Was there any rust there in the beginning

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Hi Tracy. Thanks for the comment Yes, there were rust stains before I applied the White Ox. Go to 2:12 in the video and you can see that the sidewalk had rust stains from the sprinklers. I also showed a couple of before and after pics starting at 3:07. I know the stains were not severe but since White Ox costs less I don't wait for the stains to get real bad. If you have rust stains you should give this a try.

[@kerrywright5139]

Would you also recommend for hard oil stains on driveway?

[@JacksonvilleRealEstate]

Kerry, I am not aware of anything that works well on oil stains. I have tried many products that claim to work on oil stains but none have performed very well. Try using a good liquid dish soap. It seems to work as well as anything else I have tried.

[@vtxdaryl]

You might try kitty litter, it absorbs most oily spots on concrete also I spray with WD40 before I put the litter down. Leave it for a day then sweep it off with a broom.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

@@vtxdaryl I've not heard that before. Next time I have an oil stain I will give it a try.

[@BruceBarrera]

Can you use that on white marble pavers?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thanks for the comment. I don't see why not. I it on wood siding and the fiberglasd boat hull.

[@blanedavis897]

The container says to add warm water and also says to rinse off with water! How come you didn’t do what it says on the instructions?

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

With regard to the warm water, the water is already pretty warm coming through the hose. The granules disolved easily. I beleive the rinsing off is supposed to prevent a white haze from forming on treated surfaces. I was not concerned with a white haze on the concrete. Rinsing off any overspray on plants however is recommended to prevent damage. I was careful not to spray any plants. Did you get yours at the Ace Hardware in Neptune Beach?

[@johnl6246]

Awesome video!

Thank you John. Are you dealing with rust stains too?

[@jamescohenour856]

Coukdnt tell a big difference

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

@jamescohenour856 Thanks for the comment, James. It may not seem like a big difference in the video, but believe me, there is. I use it twice a year since it is very affordable compared to other products I have tried.

[@vtxdaryl]

I’ll give it a try.

[@JacksonvilleRealEstate]

Thanks for watching. Give it a try and let us know how it worked for you.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Just wanted to follow up to see if White Ox worked for you.

[@vtxdaryl]

@@NativesunrealtyJacksonville Thanks for asking, it worked perfectly to remove the iron deposits on our vinyl fence. Our well water splashes on the fence and turns brown. I mixed the White Ox In my pump sprayer and when I sprayed it on the fence the rust stains just dissolved. Great product and thanks for the video, it will save me some money too because I have plenty left over for more iron removal. Thank you, great product

Scam scam scam this does not work all their reviews are from employees big scam do not waste money

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thanks for commenting Walter. I personally have had very good results using White Ox so I never tried to call the company. I can assure you that I am not an employee and am in no way affiliated with this company. As I said in the video I have tried many other products. White Ox is the most affordable and effective product I have found. If you have another product that you feel works better I am sure we would all like to hear about it. It's always good to have other options to try.

[@roseymalino9855]

That annoying, thumping music is really aggravating while trying to listen to the dialog.

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Hello Rosey. Thank you for the comment. I'm sorry that you found the music annoying. I intentionally made the volume low enough so the music wouold not drown out my voice. Other than the music I hope you found the information usefull. If you do try the White Ox please come back and let us know how it worked for you.

[@davidmonnot8602]

that shit doesn’t work

[@NativesunrealtyJacksonville]

Thanks for the comment David. Not sure what type of stain you were trying to remove but if you follow the instructions on the label White Ox works great on rust stains. Did you mix the right proportions of powder and water? I use this and know that it works great for me.
