I apply chems to the whole house at one time, and then I pull the hose out of the bucket and proceed to rinse the whole house at one time.

The chemical injectors are mounted with quick disconnects. In the female ends of the quick disconnects, there is a small o-ring

Dan love your vid's. Thinking of adding this(soft house washing) to my small lawn & snow biz. Question I have for you: Do you ever have problems when you have over spray on roofs? As in the roof/shingles gets cleaned in spots from the solution mix and is noticeable from the rest of the roof? Or any problems with your mix hurting plants near houses? I often see people around here spray the plants first and then of course after. Thanks any info would be most appreciated.

[@DansVlog]

I don’t mix my solution strong enough to effect tar shingles or hurt landscaping

[@joedub668]

Does it not hurt the shingles? Meaning discolor them especially if they were wood shingles? I've done wood fences with bleach and it makes them bright again.

[@DansVlog]

+Joe Dub I haven't come across wood shingles and I have also altered the colored of wood ( mostly cleans the area the chems get on) but that was before I thinned the mix. Now going 50/50 bleach and water AND syphoning that mix the chems are really weak. Much safer for shingles, wood and plants.

[@piratethesteve1]

How do you handle overspray of chem getting on the roofing? doesnt it leave spotting?

[@jamespope6940]

So when you clean the house do you use the pink tip for the strong stream? Do you have to unplug the siphon tube first?

[@DansVlog]

The pink tip is a soap tip. You’re thinking of the red tip

[@jamespope6940]

Dan's Vlog ok so all you have to do is put red tip in and get the little bit of bleach left in the line out. It’ll stop siphoning once you put red tip in?

[@DansVlog]

No bro. No red tip ever. Pink and black only. To rinse I pull the siphon hose off.

[@jimmydeanballinger8853]

Dan. How do you know what your ratio is with the down stream? Do you exactly how much bleach is being sucked into the system?

I don’t worry about it. Using 10% SH or less if fine diluted at whatever ratio the injector is

Just remember after your dwell time rinse and then rinse again and again.

[@DansVlog]

+jstu45 No they don't. A cpvc fitting is slightly different than a pvc fitting. Either it has wall thickness differences or something but I promise you, CPVC is not the same as PVC especially where important plumbing is needed. When I brought my tank (empty) into Lowes to find a thread on fitting for the drain plug, I was there forever trying to thread on a pvc fitting until an employee came over and handed me a CPVC fitting and boom... threaded right on without any slop.

What do u charge for a single story and a 2 story house?

[@SarahsPage]

Hi again Dan, I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have been getting customers that want me to wash their house, which is fine, no problem, except here lately all the house that want washed are so close together that is almost impossible to do i mean they are so close together you can not push a lawn mower between them let-alone stand between them and shoot SH soap mix or water to rinse on them. The houses are 2 story and pretty big too. So ok in theory you should be able to shoot at an angle from the front of the house and then go to the back of the house and shoot at an angle and hopefully get the whole side cleaned... Right?? Because otherwise you would just get stuck in between them while trying to clean it and get soaked too... I can not find any videos on KZbin to help me with this one.... what should I do to get it clean?? Thank you for any advice you might have on this.

[@DansVlog]

You are going to get soaked almost no matter what especially when you’re doing People’s front doorways so don’t worry too much about getting wet… It is part of the job. Your technique from working from the front and then working from the back is exactly how I would do it however the concern is going to be it’s splashing and wind drifting the chemicals to neighboring houses and leaving spots and streaks. If you cannot perform the job without Disrupting the neighbors or possibly having conflict it is sometimes best to walk away and leave the money on the table. Also keep in mind what the wind is going to be doing that day.

[@SarahsPage]

I dont worry about getting wet, i always get soaked. I do more decks, driveways and way to many stairs and stairs make the water splash up into your face. I have done front porches and dormers but never the whole house; I dont know why, but I have done whole houses before just not that many and never this close together. You literally have to turn sideways to scratch your head, so given what you said i may just take the challenge and clean the house and clean the other house wall that is beside it, with their permission of course. If they say no then I will just leave the money on the table and walk away. Thank you for the advice.

[@vlr999]

so the 0' degree tip was able to clean the peak with no detergents? And Im suprised you didnt smash that window .

[@fatfat6389]

Great job and great video Dan, man I was happy to see you were going to finish the house with that weak mix you said you had in the beginning, and then you said that you will put the other siphon in and pull a lot more bleach, then I was sad again thinking I cannot do this, that's because where I live I might not even find 10% happy to find 8%, I'm hopping/planning to start the business this spring somehow, that's why I'm so concerned with downstream injectors, by the way what do you think was the percentage hitting the house from the beginning with the weak mix?

[@DansVlog]

Maybe 20:1

[@DansVlog]

Check pool supply stores for 10 or 12% also Wal-Mart might ship Pool Essentials by the gallon. Buy a case at a time

I’m open for business this week and getting prepped. I’ve bought the same stuff your currently using on your videos in those links, I’m on the west coast and most house around here now are “Hardi-plank’ siding or other painted surface. Have you had any trouble with that?

[@DansVlog]

No issues at all. My recipe worked fine for me

[@williamwelch1513]

Great video Dan. Im in the softwash business doing houses and roofs. I currently use the standard diaphragm pump setup that is powered by marine batteries, but Ive been look for a more efficient way and your method seems awesome. So my question is, how do you control how much chemical comes thru your downstreamer? Being that I do houses and roofs, I need various concentrations. Oh and BTW, those prices are SUPER low, lol.

[@DansVlog]

I don't really control the siphon. I thin out 12% in the tank and I use 10% straight. I will just move faster or slower when applying depending on how bad the job is. I am no pro by any means so look for more info and good luck.

[@williamwelch1513]

+Dan's Daily Vlog Do you have a certain amount of water you add to the tank when you use 12%?

[@JustAPersonAndYou]

@Jonathan Johnson what is 50/50 and 12%? I'm new, thank you

[@nicknetotian3011]

How do you turn the chemicals off before you rinse off the house? Im a beginner

[@DansVlog]

+Nick Netotian Hi Nick. I simply unplug the little syphon hose from the injector port and then I just keep on spraying / rinsing with the same tips.

[@philipstrickland8228]

Do you think a 3000psi 2.8gpm pressure washer is enough to wash houses?

[@DansVlog]

It’s a great start

[@johnlincicum6390]

Can you do wooden decks? I swear my deck is black!

[@mykellable]

So you mix Dawn with the Bleach or?

[@DansVlog]

about an ounce per gallon of bleach (SH)

[@littlemike9514]

what type of reels are those?

[@GaryOutdoorsLiving]

little mike951 it's in the description of the video. Scroll up. And he has the link for Amazon for the reel.

[@CARMACALV]

good job!

[@tknoll113]

Curious as to plant damage with Bleach solutuion

[@NomadGuardian]

For plants and shrubs you need to water and plant food them down real heavy so they soak up alot of water/food. If not the Bleach (SH) will kill the plants and shrubs. You can cover the plants and bag the down spouts to catch run off . Make sure you don't use any ammonia Surfactant(soap) mixed with bleach it will generate chlorine gas.

[@truckdriver974]

What did the ball valve cost if I may ask

[@_Detail.Society]

Where can we find a pressure washing hose like that?

[@DansVlog]

In my video description

[@southboundin2001]

How long does the chemical mix last in that tank? Can you do a roof cleaning with one full tank?

[@DansVlog]

15 gallons of 10% will siphon in and last over 7000 sq ft

[@southboundin2001]

Dan's Vlog ok I don’t not know it would last that long. If I use the small pump that came with your tank can I reach 30’ or so.

[@DansVlog]

30 feet is pushing your luck.

[@howtosanddiysfordads556]

Hey dan great video! Quick question does your bleach ever hurt the metal surrounding the house? like ac units?

[@DansVlog]

I try to not deliberately spray that stuff but the answer is yes it can corode any and all metals in time if not properly rinsed with clean water. If a unit is bad with mildew I will spray it but rinse it off first

[@roryhylden9994]

Hi dan, I just got a costumer that wants me to power wash her house. I'm great with driveways but new to houses. Any tips? And also what should I charge for a medium house 2 story. Thanks.

[@DansVlog]

+Rory Hylden Congrats! It is hard to say what you should charge. You might want to have a couple cmpanys come by and give you an estimate so you know what the market is in your area. As far as any tips? I would say go back and watch my Pressure Wash Business video playlists and get all the points and tips out of them as possible. A lot depends on the material you are washing and the equipment you have.

[@roryhylden9994]

+Trimmers Enterprises, LLC ok thanks

[@roryhylden9994]

+Trimmers Enterprises, LLC what chemicals do you use on houses?

[@erikservices]

How much bleach do you have mixed in the 11 gallons!

[@DansVlog]

All of it is 10% SH. If I use 12.5% I dilute it it by 2/3 water and 1/3 12.5%

[@erikservices]

@@DansVlog thanks

[@1009wilmer]

I want to start my own but I don't know how to charge or get estimate can someone help I'm in Texas

[@DansVlog]

Erik Services a shot of WD 40 at the end of the day

[@erikservices]

[@zacharyrubio3627]

[@DansVlog]
