Good stuff! Three additional tips: (1) wear goggles, (2) do this in the cooler portion of the day and when the sun is low or when it's overcast, and (3) thoroughly wet down all nearby vegetation with plain water first before you apply the cleaning solution; it will kill it if you don't.
Very informative video! Thank you for posting. We are just getting started and did a small shop yesterday. My question is: what do we need to do when some of the black stuff doesn't wash off, after two soap and rinse? We ended up using a brush to get it off, that's easy to do on areas easily reached but not the top of the house. We were using bleach and applewash.
I should have mentioned the lady that ownes the shop had never had it washed. She has owned it for 8 years and who knows how long the previous owners had it.
Oh my... this fella is absolutely hilarious and definitely informative with his videos!!! I give him thumbs 👍up definitely not a boring video thanks for this great information 👍
Hi, Jason. Would you recommend that I clean asbestos shingles (siding) similarly? If not, what would you recommend? Eventually, I'd like to remove the asbestos shingles, but my house is over 130 years old and I'm unsure how it looks under it. However, one side of my house (facing closely to a neighbor's house) has the original wood siding, that looks in phenomenal condition. So, perhaps one day I'll consider it.
A telescopic lance or suitable lance to get up close would be best for putting hypo / chems on sidings like this.. This would 1) prevent overspray......... 2) apply the chems more evenly 3) Get the job done in a more efficient way...... because of the low pressure the telescopic pole ( preferably Carbon fiber ) would be a sinch / easy to control because there would be no kickback from any pressure .. shooting it up from the ground like this creates a ton of waste chems / water and also lots of overspray. which could damage other surfaces.. just my 2 cents
Dan's vlog has a good video on that. Hes in the housewashing/lawn care business. I'd tell ya the exact mixture,but it's been a while since I've watched the video.
Yeah Pressure don’t clean. This is why we use soaps and detergents to clean vinyl siding. In fact you can do it with no Pressure Washer at all and get it Cleaner and if you did you just pressure
I see companies having a second guy using a second pressure washer to hit vegetation the entire time they are down streaming. If I only have one pressure washer could I soak it all with jrod switch over to my sh then switch back to water and continue hitting the shrubs? Or can I have someone just rinse everything with a garden hose?
Spray patterns should be from top to bottom. Not the other way around. Especially when you have a clapboard pattern to follow. But he seems to know everything about everything.
I have a question I have a 25 gallon tank I am downstreaming I have a 4gpm power washer and I’m using 12.5 SH what should be the ratio for a 25 gallon tank
@@kingofpressurewash it definitely has to be a lot higher concentration because if you wear a shirt in the pool or shorts they won’t get stained if your pressure washing they will
You should mention that down low, angle upward to get the bottom of the slats so they aren't still green when you get done. Other than that, its pretty much how i get rid of mildew and mosses.
Thanks for all the great content. Are there any health effects from using the bleach? As far breathing it in or getting in the eyes when it’s misting in the air?
I use a floor broom with soft bristles, tote with some car wash and wax. Long extension handle. Does a good enough job, better results after or on a rainy day. Rinse with the water hose. Just bought a pressure washer but will probably still use the broom.
Hello I will like to know if the pool essentials 3” Chlorinating Tablets will work to wash the house I know I have to let the Chlorinating Tablets sit on water for a few hours so it can dissolve the tablet

If I have SH 12.5% and I'm going to just put it into a regular garden sprayer to spray on our deck for the bad algae that has made the wood even turn bark. What is the ratio of water to SH 12.5%
@@STL0Zone Yes, the main chemical you want to look for is sodium hypochlorite. This is what kills the organic material on the house like algae or mildew. Just make sure you rinse thoroughly and rinse any plants or greenery you have as well because you want to avoid the chemical drying.

Great video I need help I do pressure washing but I never use chemical but when I saw your demonstration is looking good. I have 32ft townhouse and 120units what is the best way to apply a soap without damaging a plant and discolouration the siding? Thanks for the advance reply....
If you use the sodium hypochlorite 10%,it shouldn't harm the plants or siding when used in conjunction with a downstream injector on a pressurewasher. If you have to apply it with a pump sprayer you'll have to dilute it with water alot.
@@kingofpressurewash I have never washed a house before. If I am using a 20:1 diluting downstream injector then I would imagine I could just use straight 10 percent SH pool shock. Do you see any problem with this?
@@kingofpressurewash That's my ratio, too, except I use 12.5 SH. It works like charm. Folks are amazed when they don't see me climbing a ladder and reaching the top of the house from the ground.
Brand spanking new to this. Wondering if you even cut your pressure washer on if you don’t want high pressure? Or is it just a tip that makes it low pressure? Sorry for super basic question. Awesome video!
That initial blast lol it gets me to every now an then to. I like that tip it’s got a great flow but I mostly use black tip on a 48” lance an a pink tip on the gun for higher areas an rinse
@@sethcoffey9814 I'm not sure why youd want to use deck cleaner on vinyl siding? The sodium hypochlorite is only $3 a gallon at pool supply stores and walmart. If you're scared of the sodium hypochlorite stick to actual vinyl siding wash.
Its actually a way better and efficient technique to after you trace the outline of the side ur working on to just create a vertical wave and work to the other side just once if u do it right, switch to water n rinse and its fully clean. The way he does it doesn't hit undef the bottom lip of the siding.
Do you have a Home Depot in your area there’s a green bottle it’s usually around in the paint section for cleaning siding they have the white bottle which is for cleaning my gutters this stuff works excellent excellent lately I’ve used it several times you just hook your hose to it and spray it on let it sit for a few minutes not dry completely and then hose it off unless you really have a Lotta Lotta mildew you never even had to put a brush on it and it’s very safe to use
I always use generic household bleach from the grocery store. Into the bleach bottle, I squirt as much Ivory Dish Washing Liquid as the bottle will hold. i shake the bottle and then put the siphon hose right into the bottle. I use a high pressure injection nozzle. they cost about $35. It will allow the stream to reach the top of a two story house gable end. You always want to wet from the bottom up, so as to prevent streaks running down on a dry siding and possibly making permanent streaks. Always wet down any vegetation before and after. What goes into the ground does not seem to hurt plants, but letting bleach dry on the leaves will!.
it will work the same with hardie plank. Stucco you will have to either xjet it www.pressurewashhelp.com/xjet or dedicated pump. you will need a 3-5 percent solution to clean stucco
Good stuff!

You want the sun to help the solution cook. The best results are in direct sunlight.

Lower pressure draws more chemical into the mix, have you tested how much chem per gallon of water you draw using a tele lance?
My guys soft wash it and they use a soft cloth on an extension pole. Both together, beautiful and so clean
Good to know! sounds like a lot of work
@@kingofpressurewash Actually its really easy and quick☺

“This will make the wife happy and that’s what we want” sir, how did you know the reason behind me watching this video?
I have a question I have a 25 gallon tank I am downstreaming I have a 4gpm power washer and I’m using 12.5 SH what should be the ratio for a 25 gallon tank
I would use 12 gallons water and 12 gallon bleach
Whats the health risks form spraying with chemicals and having all of that come back at you
At this ratio close to jumping into a pool
@@kingofpressurewash it definitely has to be a lot higher concentration because if you wear a shirt in the pool or shorts they won’t get stained if your pressure washing they will
Will this solution kill grass when rinsing?
That’s what I wanna know, exactly the first I thought
what do you recommend would be the best soaps to use if you are doing house siding?
sodium hypochlorite at 1-1.5 percent
So I need a pressure washer with a water tank? Basically mine i just hook my waterhose into, will this not work?
It can still work just fine
What tip are you using? Also what process are you using to apply, downstream or 12 volt?
Downstream
How do you clean siding if it's a hot sunny day? Just be faster?
One side at a time
You should mention that down low, angle upward to get the bottom of the slats so they aren't still green when you get done. Other than that, its pretty much how i get rid of mildew and mosses.
Yes that true
Thanks for all the great content. Are there any health effects from using the bleach? As far breathing it in or getting in the eyes when it’s misting in the air?
it best not to get on you. When down streamed its less than 1%.. With roof cleaning you defently want to wear a mask to keep from breathing it
Will that chemical mess up the roof shingles if I have a 2 story house and siding onto of roof shingles
nope
its really deluited for house wash mix
@@kingofpressurewash what's the ratio?
Great video instruction. I don't understand how I would change tips on wand if the only my black tip draws soap?
Once Jason, thanks once again for your time and skills. We appreciate you

Do you have a link to your soaping nozzle?
anything that you cant put pool shock on? like will it fade the color of the paint or leave spots on deck stain etc
Does the pool shock kill the grass/plants around the house???
