- Are you thinking about buying the Wet & Forget Xtreme reach house and roof cleaner that is sold by Costco, Walmart and a variety of other retailers?
Don't!
Watch the video to find out why it is a waste of your money.
I love Wet & Forget - have used it for over 10 years in humid Alabama. Do not expect quick results, as in prepping a house for showing in a week or so. The results I have had on extremely moldy, and fungus covered brick siding and wooden fences are unbelievable, but you must be patient. Now days I apply it only to shady parts of the house (including the asbestos shingles), but I do it twice a year before the mold and fungus reappears. I am not associated with Wet & Forget company, just a big fan of the product.
Thanks for your experience. All I can say was that was not my experience at all. How does the spray tip work for you? My "fan attachment" broke apart almost right away.
As for the reach issue- I’m on a well. So my water fluctuates depending on if the well is pumping up or being passive. I got anywhere from 16-32ft reach. So it’s pretty accurate in the reach it advertised in my opinion
I am happy it worked well for you. I have been told by a plumber that my town has higher than average water pressure. I am not sure why it did not perform well for me.
I gave used it for so many things. I even use it to clean the cemetery stones. I buy the concentrated one and mix it myself in a sprayer.
I'm glad it works well for you. My experience was not good at all.
I agree...didn't reach 30ft.
Wish I did a video because you did something wrong because it cleaned my siding great. The reach of 30+ feet is real as it reached 35 feet at my house. Maybe you have water pressure issues 😢
I followed all of the instructions. Applied it to a dry house, no wind... you see the residue it left for months after on my house.. the only way I got the residue off is power washing it.. No issues with water pressure in my house or in our area.. in fact I have had plumbers tell me that we have higher than average water pressure in our area.
Was looking for something easy to recommend to a guy I know with roof stains. He’s had some lung removed from cancer a while back so I would most likely be doing it for him so he wouldn’t have to worry about breathing anything that might be irritating or anything. You should get your money back from cosco or somebody. Product seems to be Fraudulent if it doesn’t work like advertised 100% of the time. Any guarantees or ph # on the bottle. Call them ,repeatedly if necessary. Squeaky wheel gets the oil. I don’t have $ to waste.especially now. Even if I had millions,it’s the principle. Good luck.
PA .my siding is almost exactly like yours. Lighter blue maybe. Was filthy. Admittedly,Years of neglect on my part. Used all sorts of products (4-5diferent products.partial bottles I already had)had help that knew what to do & he was adamant about not allowing the cleaning solution to dry on the siding. and had to go around 2 times to get it about 90-%95 clean. Much better but wasn’t easy. The claims of that product seem to good to be true. My opinion. Take care.
So, you're unhappy with the product after 3 weeks. Here's my recommendation. Try reading the information that the manufacturer supplies with the product. It depends on the intensity of the contamination. If it is a lighter green growth, you will see results within 1-2 weeks. Otherwise, it may take 2-3 months to see improvement. In the very worst case scenario, where contamination is extreme, it may take 6-12 months to see results.
So, it's now been 4 months. Still unhappy. And the manufacturer never says you will get a residue on your siding until you power wash it off.
How long have you been the product manager for this product?
Your misleading video was posted 3 weeks after you applied Wet & Forget to your siding. I don't recall seeing a follow-up video from you showing the condition of your siding after 4 months. In fact, your answer to another reply was to claim that your video shows residue on your siding "months" after the application, yet you say in the the very same video that its only been 3 weeks. I'm not a project manager for any product, but I can spot lame product reviews from a mile away.
@@djk2063 As I type this it has been 4 months. And I can tell you that my upstairs still has the residue in areas that has not received hard rain (directly under the lip of the vinyl siding) or was too high for me to power wash.
The manufacturer directly says "No Scrubbing Or Rinsing".. Well my video is to show other home owners that if you do not rinse it (power wash it) you will have visible residue on your home for some time (in my case months). This was not my only issue with the product. As mentioned the fan attachment that goes in the front of the spray so it can spray in a fan pattern broke almost immediately.. and the product did not reach the 30 feet it promised on the bottle.
As to why no follow-up video.. it was not worth my time. I honestly did not get this product with any intention of reviewing it at all (most people are not going to search for reviews on a $30 product) but I had such a poor experience I decided to share my experience. My experience is one data point that people can use when making their decision. I am not the only person and I am not in position of authority. But others can use it as a data point if they wish.
Note: the manufacture also says "Safe around plants and landscaping when used as directed"... well the "use as directed" is to rinse it off of plants immediately. So, if you want to go after someone for being misleading go after the manufacture for the safety around plants, the ability to reach 30 feet and giving the user the impression that they will have a clean house shortly after spraying it.
@@Isitworthitreviews Ok... Wet & Forget gets good reviews usually... This is one of the few that is negative. You would think the Company would try to investigate? It is an EXPENSIVE chemical for what they are selling and I know the PROFITABILITY per gallon is very high... Nothing wrong with that... If it works. If there is a PUBLIC customer complaint (with proof).... You would think Wet & Forget would try to defend themselves?
Soft wash know what I am saying? You powerwash dat sit you get water all up in there, do you know what I am saying? Soft wash dog!
