Good job. As a novice, I Always give plants a good drink of water i wet em down before applying chemicals so they don't die and i use bleach and dawn. Dawn also helps the windows from streaking.
OMG all the negative comments.... the end result is all that matters and the cleaning was done in a timely manner! They criticize and in the same sentence want to know the products used! lol Good job Joshua!!!
Remember when they said you never had to paint your sidings. Admittedly washing is less costly than painting, the siding will none the less get dirty over time.
The job gets done fast. Doesn't matter if it's not soft washing. Looks good and cleans well. He just needs to use a stronger mix perhaps. 12.5% will do the trick

Ocean SoftWash maybe if people would stop keeping soft washing a secret more people would do it , I haven’t seen one video on TH-cam on how to setup a soft wash system and use it step for step , you guys make it look like there’s a billion steps before u can even pull the trigger , makes people not even wanna bother softwashing, all I see is videos saying “buy this nozzle for soft washing” 😂😂 ok well how does the system work step for step what hoses are for what how do u set up chem and how to connect it to the system how do u do any of that , how do u freaking know what valves are for what , I’m starting to think soft wash is a secret scam
I own the biggest power washing company in ohio been in business scene 2000 and that soft wash is a bunch of b.s the sope canon is great for applying the sope but u do need a power washer to really clean I hand build all my machines I have different ones for different types of jobs the dall valve is ok for a roof but sucks on siding and aluminum it just doesn't push the dirt like a wand does pulse a wand is a lot faster
There are many ways to do this. I don't do it this way, but at the end of the day, the house is clean and the customer is happy, and as long as the plants were not damaged, why gripe?
If you open a tip you reduce the pressure. That's how pressure works. I bet you didn't know that a 3,000 psi 5 gpm pump with a 4080 tip is about 150 psi at the nozzle. #themoreyouknow
I know there are a many variables but what should a customer expect from having their home soft washed if their home has excessive mold, mildew, etc on a three story house? What about excessive mold, etc on plastic gutters and vinyl siding?
Question though, does it matter? I am looking at buying a system....if you can turn the pressure down and use soft wash tips doesn't it work just the same while also giving you the power should you need it for other services? Just wondering i need some advice!
We tried both, with pressure washer and dialing down+tips etc and a real 12v softwash system. Hugh difference. Much more precise with the softwash systrems, very low/no pressure but more volume and does not blast or over-spray. Even with pressure washer and different tips whatever its still to much mist and waste of chemicals. For real softwashing, you DO NOT NEED ANY PRESSURE. It works! Would never go back to pressure washer. And do you know how much more enjoyable the job is without the freaking noise :-) :-)
We obtain low pressure by using low volume pressure washers with high volume spray tips. In addition to that we stay a safe distance from the house. Bout time the water hits the house its a mist, as you put it. If you notice when I began the rinse process. I stay several feet from the house. Only time I near the house is when I'm rinsing higher up on the house. Also if you notice I'm rinsing diagonally not directly in front of me, which adds additional distance between me and the surface being rinsed. There are several ways to obtain low pressure house washing. Our guys are properly trained and fully aware of any precautions that need to be taken.
Joshua Beasley exactly brotha , these scam artists and their “$10,000 soft wash trailer setups” are fucking scam artists and full of shit , u can get the same job done with a regular pressure washer and just not using the max pressure tip
I am SO CONFUSED with this soft wash and pressure wash..... I am trying to buy one of the two.... I dont get why someone would buy soft wash....can we not just buy a pressure washer and turn the pressure down and use tips that slow down the flow? Am I missing something here? I mean just turn the pressure down and use a different tip....and then when the customer asks to get there fence power washed you can have the power to turn it back up and do that! This soft wash is so confusing!
According to AC Lockyer who owns (or has a trademark or whatever) on the term "Soft Wash" or "SoftWash", the patriarch of Soft Washing, - Soft Washing is done with a 12 volt agricultural style pump and 12 volt battery, and never with a pressure washer. If you are using a pressure washer, you are pressure washing. You may be mimicking soft washing, but it is still pressure washing. Both can do these types of jobs very well, but Soft Washing gives you more precise control over your mixtures. It is a matter of preference. I primarily do roof washes and occasional house washes, so a 12 volt pump set up works best for me. I do have a pressure washer, but I seldom need to use it unless I'm working on brick with a lot of growth or flat work with many years of growth, or pretreating a surface for some stain removal (rust, , otherwise I can do it all with my Soft Wash set up. On thing I love about soft washing with my pump and battery is the total lack of noise. You can stand inches from my pump and carry on a conversation at normal volumes. No high compression engines roaring all day, no fossil fuels/emissions, no risk of high pressure damage, and no issues in some communities where they won't allow work after a certain hour due to noise (and a PW is very noisy), easy and inexpensive repairs, etc. The only job that I've done that I wish I had my pressure washer was a 4,000 sq. ft. pool deck that hadn't been cleaned in 15 years. In that case, it would have been nice to mow down the bulk of the accumulated growth quickly using my PW, then apply my SW chemicals for the final application. It took me longer to get the job done, but the customer was still ecstatic and left me a 5 star review. You can make a good living using either method. Talk to people on both pressure washing forums and soft washing forums (SoftWash Systems.com) and see which style fits you best.

Thats No Softwashing. Look at the pressure coming out of the wand. And the freaking noise from the pressure washer. Its pressure washing no matter what
This video reminds me of the pranks where guys keep dumping shampoo on top of another guy while he's trying to rinse his hair. Why so much suds my good man? My shoulders ache for you.
Good job. As a novice, I Always give plants a good drink of water i wet em down before applying chemicals so they don't die and i use bleach and dawn. Dawn also helps the windows from streaking.
Looks a lot better. Good job.

Lol yeap
Awesome job. Get after it man.
2G of SH 8.25% mixed with 2G of water run through a downstream injector is sufficient to do that side with a gallon of mix to spare.

with softwash you apply the solution in less than 1 minute for this wall. You can clean so much more (sqft) per hour with (real) softwashing.
What about colored siding or window shutters will the chemicals fade them?

@@jaycharles9144 I'm happy to share what I know, contact me
What nozzle are you using?? And chemicals? Looks really soapy
Foam cannon*. Works well. Dilutes the chemicals by 1/2 with water

Jesse Thompson, one word... soap.
Saw your post.. I'm shopping for a unit.. What is your social media sites.. Would like to check something out..
Jesse Thompso
You own the largest pressure washing company in Ohio yet you don't know what a comma is, and you spell it "sope"... Something here is fishy!
I hope to be the biggest in sw florida one day!
That's a hot mix brotha!
Thats actually a weak mix. Less than 1 %
what type of pressure washer are you using? and is that just a mtm foam cannon to apply cleaner?
Do you have to wash siding often in humid climates?
this company is great n very professional..Carlina proclean.
Good job!
Great job!
is this with a cold water pressure washer? and also what cleaner are you using? that really cleans the house up and you dont have to get on a ladder
There are many ways to do this. I don't do it this way, but at the end of the day, the house is clean and the customer is happy, and as long as the plants were not damaged, why gripe?
Which is the most suitable product to not damage the plants, there is some formula, if you can help thanks.
Yup! Low pressure does not mist like that.
The point of where it's hitting the house I would consider low pressure. Judges? Judges say they agree.
If you open a tip you reduce the pressure. That's how pressure works. I bet you didn't know that a 3,000 psi 5 gpm pump with a 4080 tip is about 150 psi at the nozzle. #themoreyouknow
Thats some fast stuff.
hi, nice video for sure and great work. what detergent are you using , it sticks / clings real well i see .
Beyond Maids inc. ii
What type of pressure hose u use?
What tip do u use to spray up high?
He is using the x jet m5
At that angle, doesn't water get into the vent near the top and damage the interior?
What type of foam is used in this video. Thanks
He was using the x jet m5
Use a hotter mix. Save you some time and you wont need to use all that pressure.
Mix was a little weak... my process has greatly improved...
I know there are a many variables but what should a customer expect from
having their home soft washed if their home has excessive mold, mildew,
etc on a three story house? What about excessive mold, etc on plastic
gutters and vinyl siding?
WHAT CHEMICAL ARE YOU USING IN THIS VIDEO?
Adventures with Monkey ones things for certian..10 to 12% bleach will do the job..all you have to do is apply it with a downstream inj!
He's just got a LOT of soap in there.
thank you for the video
Did that tree turn white?
Did you put a 0 on at the end to rinse it off?
GRIMEBUSTERS probably a 0040 or larger
Too much soap is not needed so much, only SH does the job well and a little soap.
Soaps increase the dwell time. Which allows you to use a lower concentration of SH. My mix decreases the chances of damage to plants.
The cleaning solution must be a secret lol
no secrets, use water, sh and any professional housewash soap you like and there you go
He's just using a foamer
definitely Not Soft Wash !
Question though, does it matter? I am looking at buying a system....if you can turn the pressure down and use soft wash tips doesn't it work just the same while also giving you the power should you need it for other services? Just wondering i need some advice!
