Sweet Old Lady Slipped On Slimy Steps (Oddly Satisfying Pressure Washing)

This was free work, so I only get paid if you watch & like the video! Free cleanup to keep an older neighbor safe. Only water was used in the cleaning as bleach can mix poorly with many types of wood (this was probably southern pressure treated pine). We also covered before hand that my work would ruin the staining someone had done long ago and leave a splotchy finish, but as they had plans to paint it later on, it was not a concern.
The steps got this bad as they get lots of moisture and very little sun, leading to dank, slippery surfaces that could easily cause someone to slip.
The homeowner's daughter contacted me via Facebook and I was happy to help out in exchange for making a video. Helpful deed for them that saves money (their pressure washer was broken) and gives me the chance to make some money if I tell a good story. If you were entertained, please make sure to leave a like and comment as this helps me out tremendously and is part of how I support my family.
Q: You left streaks in the wood.
A: I know, I just talked about that. My main goal was safety, not looks, and they were OK with that. Add the fact they are painting the wood after everything dries and it doesn't even matter.
Q: Did you use chemicals?
A: Only water.
Q: What pressure washer did you use?
A: ECHO PW4200 with white 40 degree nozzle. The yellow tip would have damaged the wood too much.
Q: You didn't do a great job on the flagstone
A: You are right, I purposely avoided the edges of the stones. Again, my main goal was safety, so if 90% of the surface was cleaned, that is all that matters. Cleaning everything would have meant blasting all the dirt in between them away and creating a muddy mess the homeowner would have needed to fix. Also, since I was displacing all the dirt that helped make it a flat, level, surface, I would also have been creating uneven surfaces that would not have been safe.
Q: You are dumb and bald.
A: The dumb I can't help, but the bald if from dealing with all your comments.
Q: Horrible example of pressure washing wood. You should never start or stop on the board, as it causes discoloration.
A: I ALREADY SAID THEY WERE PAINTING OVER IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER! Who are you, the pressure washing police?
Q: You should have pressure washed all the concrete blocking.
A: The goal of this visit was safety, not doing all the pressure washing for the whole house. I wanted to make the steps more visible, especially for using them in low light scenarios. All I cared about cleaning is where someone would likely step.

You did a great job. Can anything be used on those wooden stairs to keep them from having so much mildew?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

@@mgbsecteacher I am sure there are some sprays, but all I really use in pressure washing is bleach, and bleach can react bad to some woods (as far as how they take/absorb it) so I didn't use anything.

[@SpawnofChaos]

@@mgbsecteacher Outdoor wood stain/sealant can help; periodic treatment with an anti-mold/mildew spray will (of course) also help a lot.

They have a new deck paint out. Course don't know name of it but puts bit of texture on the wood too, so it's not so slippery. Very nice job, looked slippery! 👍👍

People don't seem to realize a lot of slips/falls happen around the house and the older you get, the less bouncier you are. Glad the homeowner got this simple yet important pressure washing done! Awesome you posted an offer to help folks out and as a byproduct, people get to see the reasons why it's essential to keep areas cleared and un-slippy (for lack of a better word).

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Un-slippy is now in my dictionary!

[@user-fd9vc3dd1e]

So I've only used this pressure washer one time. kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.

[@jenwhite5387]

Looks so much better and way safer! I have been a victim of slippery mildewy steps and holy crap...that hurts! Great job as always, how kind of you to help people like this.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Agreed, they are NOT fun!

[@janesynnot7446]

Haha, too funny! I also am seeing lots of comments asking about things I covered in the description as well. Thanks for watching!

[@mikel3520]

its amazing how you dont notice how bad it really is until you start to clean it. it looked bad but not too bad at first but then you see the clean sections and its crazy different

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Agreed, I was really happy with how it turned out!

[@thenotoriouscanadian3402]

Always like to see channels that do things for free and can make money off of their youtube just by doing it. Would love to see you get a sponsorship for lawncare equipment or something, just heartwarming to see people being rewarded for doing good things

Thank you! ECHO has been good to me over the years and actually sent this pressure washer a few years ago to make videos on.

Nothing like a good pressure cleaning to freshen things up, looks so good.

I'm glad that you're honest about the whole filming for money thing. It's important to let people know this so they don't feel like they are being taken advantage of.

[@dericanslum1696]

...that would require the homeowner loaing something... ...that doesn't halpen here just because he profits off of something he initially gave away...

[@JasonBristow2003]

Thank you for helping them, Brad. I was running towards a dirty wood path once, and when my foot hit it I almost did a split. I immediately pressure washed it so the homeowners wouldn't slip on it too!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Funny visual, but I bet you weren't laughing! Thanks for watching! :)

[@josephcote6120]

I watch a fair number of pressure wash channels. By far my favorite thing to see get cleaned is just natural wood. Seeing it go from gray and grimy to having the bright grain pop out it just the best. This was very satisfying. Good job!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I totally agree!

[@bigbob563]

Great job! And like I said before it takes a bradass guy to do this kind of generous work to make it safe for people like me with disabilities to walk on stairs safely. Thanks for another great video.

Nicely done Brad and thank you for your generosity doing this for people who need it .

[@johnmckenzie4639]

That's a great gesture for this family. Stairway safety is paramount with the elderly and the disabled. I know you mentioned that they plan to paint the stairs. Once they do that, may I suggest putting skateboard grip tape on the steps? If you're unfamiliar, it's material that you stick to the step and has a very grippy, almost sandpaper like surface. I'm disabled and have this on my steps. It really helps keep the user stable as the use the stairs. Keep up the great content and thank you for the pro bono work you do. 👍👍

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Very good tip! I will send this to the family!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I wouldn't say they are ONLY in it for the money, but I do think it is fair to say that if someone is filming and putting a video on KZbin, 'helping someone out' is not the MAIN reason they are doing it.

[@suzannesmith2452]

Such an amazing transformation. I’m sure the home owner is safer.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I hope so, thanks for watching!

[@tjbcleaningservices8720]

Good job although I have a couple of tips for you! When cleaning wood try to go from one side to the other in one motion (as you did on some of it!), will stop all those lines in the wood. Also I’d advise getting a turbo nozzle for the stone, save you time and will do a better job! Also I would’ve finished off that small section of wall to really make it look great, not just the centre section. See you put bleach or sodium hypochlorite on the back of the truck, would defo spray some of that down after just to help kill off the algae and brighten it up even more, just make sure you rinse it off after 15 mins. Hope you don’t take this the wrong way, just wanted to advise from one professional to another 😉👍🏻

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I appreciate the thought, but I covered each one of those points in the description :)

Holy cow! What a total transformation! You don't need ANY further advertising-- just these before's and afters. Bam, done! As a senior who's a fall risk, I have appreciation for the safety side; if someone doesn't have a firm footing, they're in an incredibly hazardous situation, and any fall could have permanent, life-altering results. Thank you for taking care of that. What a difference!

Once upon a time when I was a young dumb buck I worked at Sears in the lawn and garden department and we had pressure washers for sale. I thought they were the stupidest thing to buy. Then my dad bought one, wth are you going to use that on? Then I used it. I washed everything at their house. Everything at my grandmas houses. And everything at the neighbors house. Yeah changed my tune real quick. Probably one of the more useful tools that most don’t have. Anyway keep up the good work and doing what you’re doing!

That's only 2.62% of viewers - What was there *not* to like about this video?
