How much SHOCK,HOW MUCH SOAP,HOW MUCH WATER,BE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC PLEASE
Please wear eye protection (goggles) when spraying and it's windy.
Hey, I know it's been awhile. But we finally got to try this on our white siding that is 20 years old and it worked great!! It looks brand new and we barely had to scrub it at ALL!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!
That is great! We are so glad it worked out for you guys. Much cheaper than replacing it... Take care and thanks for watching!
What was the recipe you used
What were the ingredients you used? And with what ratio to water?
I could not get exactly what you were saying.
I think he said ¼ of pool shock to ¾ water, and squirt of Dawn.
I have been doing this for about 40 years, if its not real dirty, I use 1 part bleach, 3 parts water and a good squirt of any dishwashing liquid. You should always spray the cleaner from bottom to top, if not, you will have streaks, then rinse from top to bottom. Ps, if you want a nice smell, add about 3 ounces of odoban in the 2 gallon sprayer. If it's really dirty, I use 1 to 1 bleach/water with a squirt of soap. Just in case you wonder what the soap is for, that helps the bleach stick to the material, without soap, most of it just rolls off. Ps, I just buy the most economical soap, tather it is dish washing or laundry detergent.
How long do you let the bleach/water spray sit before rinsing it off?
@@NRS375You should rinse it off before it dries. On hot sunny days, you might not have long and have to do it in sections.
Everybody isn't a weekend warrior. I cleaned a black, moldy 6' x 48' concrete pad with 6 percent bleach that cost $2.50 and a 1 gallon pump sprayer. Sprayed twice, no rinsing.
What bleach did you use?
@@MydailyNinja400 I'm watching a video about chemicals for pressure washing pros. He says Clorox brand bleach is 6%. th-cam.com/video/WBDjMCqa_OI/w-d-xo.html
I hired a cleaning company to wash my one year old house. They used sodium hypochlorite and it removed the finish of the outdoor door knobs. I pointed it out to the boss and he just shrugged his shoulders like he didn't even care.

Pool shock + Dawn what proportion?
Great video! Question is it safe for vegetation?
Gives new meaning to honey I cleaned the house. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much! You just saved me $700 because that's what the last guy who power-washed my siding charged. I can't wait to try it.
Did you end up doing my lol? Probably took a day or 3?
Amazon have power washer for $120
I hosed down my house finally after my neighbor went into a nursing home. She wouldn't let me clean with bleach. Ever hear that one before? She would scream like a banshee in my ear and I had to run into my house whenever I would use a cleaning agent. She actually had neighborhood spies who would come by and sniff. Neighbors, ugh! My siding looks brand spanking new. I used that brand Thirty Second Wash, I really wanted the containers so I could end up mixing my own as the product is used up quickly and could end up costing a few bucks. I mix my own with general bleach. Next time I'll get the pool shock but the reg bleach worked just fine mixed with dawn. Love that vinyl siding color, btw. Mine was 1970's grey. No damage still, and now looks brand new. Man the flies hated it and it drove every bug out of the siding from spiders to thousand leggers. Worked like a charm. Uh, I learned this on YT also. Thanks for y'all who take the time to teach us clueless out here, at least me anyway. You saved me a bundle. Considering I learned how to do masonry work and major pest control, and on and on and on.
Now all the spiders retreated into your house.
What was your recipe that you mixed
Let her scream and do what you need to do. What is she gonna do have a stroke? No one should be able to control you.
I can p with more force than that hose.
The force is not needed... thanks for watching!
Safety glasses or goggles please. That shock will ruin you day.
Stop bothering people. If you want goggles wear them.
Thanks Karen
@@nosoupforyou425 Your right jisbo, please wash your entire dump in shock. Laugh in the face of adversity. Oh no I have some shock in my EYES. Fortunately, as a Kryptonian, your are impervious to hypochlorite. Ha ha chef of the future.
Safety police 👮♀️
@@brocktonma.1816if hes going to show other people how, he needs to be safe about it. What he does on his own is up to him.
Ya as a professional home washer. I do not care about people doing stuff like this . All for it . Just do not mix dawn dish soap as your surfactant. It literally says it on the label to not mix with bleach . I use a dedicated surfactant but you could maybe use a laundry soap instead. But do not use dawn. Mixing bleach with anything can potentially create pretty bad reactions.
You’re gonna have plenty of leftover without having a pressure washer To fully rinse it off and you need to wet the surface first on your house
Not exactly. Yes you should wet the surface first but you absolutely do not have to have a pressure washer to rinse it off. High pressure is never used by the pros to rinse as it can cause damage. Volume is your best friend…not pressure
Thanks for sharing! Yes I have been using a trick similar to this. The way I did it was using 2 to 1 water to bleach then simple green. My special trick is to also use a very soft brush with an extension pole to help loosen stubborn debris.
Safety glasses Please These chemical are very toxic to eyes
those dislikes are from pressure wash companies
Not true. They’re because all you need is regular bleach and water. Period.
It's going to kill all plants that get wet with the shock..
Will this stuff kill grass plants etc?Need to try this.Thank you.
Also vinous siding oxidizes. (Run your finger across vinyl, if you have a white powdery substance that’s oxidation). This process you use is correct. Buttt if you use a scrub brush on the tug spots you’ll take that oxidation off and you vinyl will have spots that look like a different color than the rest. If you have a 2k sq ft vinyl house that’s a lot of scrubbing. There are a lot of strong expensive chemicals used to remove oxidants but still require some scrubbing .
I’m confused, are you advocating his method and product or not? If so,what modifications should be made because I don’t want spotting nor scrubbing. Thank you for your reply.
Are you talking about vinyl or aluminum siding?
Have you ever tried Purple power they have it at Walmart is like $4 dollars if you get it at Home depo it’s about $8 to 10 dollars I actually just start carrying it I think within the past year I figured everybody was buying that simple green anymore but about 10 years ago a friend of mine showed that’s me he did a couple things like his house and he just put like a cup for the purple power and a 5 gallon bucket of water with Dawn soap I never seen a white house is so clean he did power wash it but it really needs it he had to get up in the cracks of the oh siding Best stuff I ever used I don’t recommend it put it on anything straight but then I have use cleaners that was for power washing and I mixed it up the same way I do the purple power and I had to end up making two buckets out of one rest of us so strong so I just stick to the purple power I know what it does and I know I don’t have to worry about it long and mix it the right way
What should I use for a 2-3 story house?? I never power washed before but May have to.
How about a couple of periods and commas here and there Sam?
Would you please write the mix and specifically what products you use with specific amounts of each one? I will apreciate the info! Thank you!
"I basically add an eighth to a quarter ratio to the water" ????? What in the world does that mean? 8 parts water to one part pool cleaner plus a generous squirt of dish soap?
That chemical could kill you grass and your shrubbery and your flowers
You don't even need the pool shock. Use Dawn 3x pro and water, it does it well without the other chemical. I use Dawn 3x and water to clean my windows and it is perfect.
3:14 keep in mind that you will probably lose your clothes in a situation like this... the chlorine will stain your clothes, ok? Nice trick 👍🏻
Also, he should have a proper ventilation mask on, because if you breathe in sodium hypochlorite, you’re screwed.
Chlorine won't just "stain" your clothes, it'll eat 'em up!!
@@thomasschwarting5108 what should I wear then to be safe? Should I maybe go with a more weakened amount?
Polyester
Is this solution safe for use around plants near the foundation.
I wouldn't think so. Bleach kills plants, so...
No way in hell I am spraying pool shock and breathing that stuff.
I'm going to be testing hypochlorous acid to clean the outside of my home.
It only kills organics if you have oxidation on your siding even with a garden house you will streak it.. . I would rather spend my time with family and friends then waste my time with a pump sprayer and a garden hose. I get paid to do what I do I pay people to do what they do
Does this work on really old white aluminum siding or will it destroy the siding?
Spot check it first
I use this on my new driveway to remove leave stain. Spray on pressure wash off. 👍
That is Correct, bleach aka chlorine aka sodium hypochlorite works Great at removing the tannin stains from surfaces. NOT high pressure from a pressure washer. Tannin stains (leaves, acorns, crepe myrtles droppings, etc). Not very many people know about this tip, Great comment.
I tried everything! This works great! Thanks.
Glad it worked
Make sure you nuturlize that bleach before rinse. Or you will see Oxidation and rust start to occur within a few months.
And do not allow your cleaner to dry on surface.
To start always rinse area to be cleaned with cool water first. A hot surface will cause cleaner to bake in.
Very helpful comment, thank you!
How do you neutralize bleach? Thx.
@@anthonymejia631 You use a bleach neutralizer sold by the gallon... Very good to spray on the vegetation Also
@@anthonyflacke thanks!
@@anthonymejia631 Anytime.
Sodium metabisulfite is an effective bleach neutralizer. 2.2 grams (one teaspoon) of sodium metabisulfite added to 2.5 gallons of water effectively neutralizes all harmful bleach residue.
Great, but a bottle of Five Minute Cleaner and a garden hose will get the same results.😊
What’s the realistic time that it takes the finish the entire thing? What do you do about two story homes? 😂
did it discolor the vinyl siding at all since when you did it im wondering? because its my siding i need to try your method on
I get excellent results with a 1/2 cup bleach 1/2 cup purple power then fill sprayer with water. Then Power washes sidewalks and siding to like new condition.
UH YEA - you might want to put some eye protection on.
Great job! I need to do my facia and trim plus gutters. Will give it a try. Thanks for the tip!!!!!!
Glad it helped
Than you bro. I'm in
Great video. Will try that on my home. Can you clarify the measurements again..1/8, 1/4 what of shock to water?
Yeah would like to know measurements
@@robertgeist2873 th-cam.com/video/Gmxk_pdTWDw/w-d-xo.html
Does this solution and process harm vegetation ? (Hope not)
Yep
Cool but how do wash the 2nd and 3rd floors of your house. Lol
A ladder....
You must scrub the surface
Bleach does the same but cheaper than pool shock
Aka soft wash
Thank you for these wonderful tips,saved some money on hiring someone!!!!
Thanks for watching
Is it toxic though?
Will this harm my shrubs and flowers?
Probably. That's my worry too.
That is so odd that you don't need to use a sponge to wash it off .
Just like I was taught, safety last. No need for gloves or eye protection using pool shock as a spray overhead.
2 years later.
dude just get cheap bleach and water it down less.
Hi would you like to tell me the name product please thanks
Ok
What is the brand do you use for the professional grade pool shock?
We just use whatever the local pool supplier has, just ask for liquid pool shock.
Can't wait to give our new house some TLC like this. Very helpful video, thank you.
Do I need the 12% shock???
1/8th to a 1/4 of shock to how much water?
1/8th shock, 7/8th water, you decide the overall quantity.
Is it safe on flower beds?
Probably not a good idea to get it on plants
Is it safe to use around plants and animals?
Don't use dawn. Use a bleach stable laundry detergent. If it is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite, dilute it down 9:1 to get a roughly 1.25% yield. Going much stronger can cause damage. Also do a test spot, as some house paints are organic paints and can react negatively with the sh
Which laundry soap do you use for this?
Any. Laundry soap is formulated to work with bleach.
@@jeffthompson8663 tide is the best
Laundry detergent is made to work with bleach...Dawn is not.
I've used Dawn it worked fine.
Will distilled vinegar work as well? I used on some mold and it worked great. Great video. :)
It may, probably won't be as strong but worth a shot.
Maybe the 30% concentrate that the Home Depot and Lowe's sells.
Looks good, but will kill my bushes?
hi dear, and what about measurement? how much quantity of liquide for pool shock and dishsoap
Great tips, and now I know the secret recipe!!
Can the solution be used in a pressure washer? Thanks
Very nice!
Learned it from the pressure washing company videos
How does you mix it
Thanks for sharing. Will try out the method for cleaning.
The problem with my garage is the rubber seal on the top and sides. They are stained from mildew & mold. I’ve tried a bleach and dishwashing liquid solution, mold/mildew remover, and power washing…all with lackluster results.
How old are the doors? Hoping mine come clean

Thanks a bunch for deciding to create this vlog! It has been very informative! 👋👍😁🙏
Glad it helped thanks for watching
😮 thanks 👍
Glad it helped
Please, please can someone tell was the yellow second liquid? English it's not my primary language I can't understand the name. It would be very useful for future videos to get close to the camera so we can see better. Thank you
It's Pool Shock for swimming pools and a squirt of dish soap.
Pool shock is just another name for pure chlorine. EXTREMELY potent stuff!!
Awesome!
Can you use The pool shock on aluminum siding or is it only for vinyl siding?
Besides some other minor chemical additives, pool shock is just basically chlorine at a higher concentration. It would be safe for aluminum siding, etc.
Would this crack concrete? Or is this safe?
Thanks for sharing, nice presentation.
ATG recommends using baking soda & bleach or lemon/lime juice with bleach
If rats or mice around the baking soda will kill them.
LOL I don't think so 🤦 I do pest control and the amount of people that hire me after their baking soda DIY failures is ridiculous! I've been doing pest control over 20 years and I've heard of everything. This baking soda misinformation has been running rampant in the past 5 years. I don't even know where it comes from but believe what you want to believe 😂
Ty great idea
Ok, I'm ready to try it!! Looks like it works great! Thanks for the tip. I'll keep you posted on how it works for me☺️
Yes, let us know how you liked this method.😉Thanks for watching...
Well?
Please help…ratio of shock to water
If you look in the comments below. Someone gave a good explanation for ratio. We just wing it...You are going to love the results! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Was looking for that in the vid too....he says it in an unusual manner, "1/8 to 1/4 ratio to water"......I take that mean he uses a range, of either 1 part shock to 8 parts water ( weaker solution), up to 1 part shock to 4 parts water ( stronger). That is the more conventional way to state this.......and then he adds (in either case) a smidge of Dawn soap.
Been using that mix for years on everything
What was your recipe you used?
Thanks for the tip!😊
I know its been a few weeks, but today is the day I do my pressure washing,!!!! Can't wait to try it your way!! I'll post pics when I'm done!🤞😁
How’d it do?
No comment usually means..... 😂
@@OptimumServices416 🤣
Ever try that mixture in a powerwasher??? How much would you put?
I just spray the cleaner on the siding with a manual pump spray bottle, 1 to 2 gallons, then pressure wash off with just hot water in the pressure washer so I don't mess up the pressure washer. Nothing worse than using something to mess up an expensive pressure washer!
The problem is that running it through a pressure washer (downstream injector after the pump), is that it dilutes the chemicals too much, so the mold doesn't get cleaned off properly.
Even with a low pressure chemical spray nozzle.
Your best bet is using a dedicated sprayer for the chemical solution.
Wow that looks awesome, great tip.
Thanks for watching!
I'd love to see a cleaner that doesn't use bleach. Do you know of any?
Garden Center at Walmart has a cleaner on the same aisle as the weed killer.
Why? It works
@@brocktonma.1816 because I prefer not to use a oxidizer of possible. It breaks down metal and wood faster.
@@kathryndunnigan7885 20% bleach 80% water. Your house will shine. That’s all I can tell you.
can you give me the name of the two chemicals or the brand, to buy them
Pool shock or pool essentials it has SH, which is bleach. You have to find a soup or degreaser to mix it with and mix them both with water . Then dwell it on whatever your cleaning. Don’t use red tip or any strong tip, just the one with low pressure should be good.
Thanks!
Amazing. Thanks 👍👏💐🍺
What is the ratio for a 1 gallon sprayer? Also, does this chemical mix kill grass?
Pool shock is basically just a higher concentration chlorine (with the exception of NON-chlorine based pool/spa shock usually not as affective). If you have vegetation or are afraid of harming grass which is possible if it gets too much chlorine on it, you may want to do exactly what this video says to do, except use just Clorox bleach mixed at 1 part bleach to 3 parts water (even 4 parts water for minor mold and mildew).
@@cray1185 Thanks for the tip. 👍
can you use this on wood decks?
I wouldn’t. It bleached the would and can shorten the life span. Pros use a pressure washer with the white tip to clean all the gross stuff. After pressure washing the use a oxalic acid to brighten the wood.
Great suggestion
Name of the pool product please?
Pool shock from any pool supply store
Where is the recipe? Not seeing it.
I think he said ¼ pool shock to ¾ water and squirt of Dawn.
