Idk how I missed this video, was surprised when YT recommended it and wasn't that long ago. Maybe it's when I switching phones. Well it gave me something to watch while I was up. Great work as always.
Downstreaming is different than a dedicated softwasg system. Downstream can only reach a certain percentage of mix. Meanwhile a dedicated softwash system allows you to go from 1% to 12.5% mix.
If that is going to happen then you would have to rinse it. I've never ran into that issue. That dead stuff will all go away. It doesn't need a downpour or hours of rain.
Great Content, really enjoy watching all of your videos. Starting a pressure washing gig myself. How much SH would you say the average house wash 1500 sqft house and decent driveway would you need per house?
Great vid! How does that downstream injector work on your pump? How is it able to interchange between soap/sh and water for rinse? Looking into buying one. Thanks ahead of time🙌🏽
A downstream injector is installed after the pump. It Siphons the chemical when a low pressure tip. That's how it turns on. To turn it off you swap to a smaller nozzle. When you purchase a j rod for your specific pressure washer it will have the appropriate nozzles to achieve that
Thanks my brother. That's a 7gpm 100psi delevan 12v pump. It does spray pretty good. It would shine more if I upgraded my softwash hose from 1/2 inch to 5/8 hose.
You said you ran out of water? I have been watching some of the southeast power wash guys vids and they were saying you always hook up to customers water source, its a given? You dont? And the ball valve with SH holy hell hahahaha freakin canon bro. Love it!
Yes I hook up to the customers water. That's what we all do in this industry but when you have an 8gpm pulling water out of a tank which the house is only putting out 3gpm you're bound go dry up the tank. And you never know the house has a low flow until you get there.
Love your videos, Cliff. I picked up that you mix your surfactant in your SH tank? How do handle jobs where you don’t want to use surfactant or a little less/more? Does your softwash just mix more surfactant when in use?
Yea I mix some with sh. Not a gang of it. It's just enough to wash houses and pool enclosures. Surfactant doesn't affect much when it comes to cleaning. It only makes the sh cling onto surfaces. So with or without it there's no real change. For my 12v softwash system I'm able to meter my surfactant from the mix valves since I have a dedicated surfactant tank.
When you were soaping up the pool patio. I see you were using wand with Jrod. What kinda of wash system were you connected to? A pressure washer or soft wash system?
Cliff I was wondering before you got your rig I noticed that you were working out of a van. What size pressure washer were you using that you had inside the van? Also did you always hook up to the customers water supply? One last question, what did you charge for that job? Thanks I hope to hear your feedback when you get a chance.
When I had the van I used a 4gom then a 5.5gpm and upgraded to an 8gpm. Yes you always use the customers water, nobody is making water runs to go clean a property. You'd break your truck carrying all that water nonstop lol. I don't recall what I charged for this old job.
Really? Lol we just call it algae. I'm always in Baltimore. I'm a foe hard ravens fan. I'm coming up this weekend for the bills game and gonna come back a few more times. I was there last week and also a month ago.
Lol no the dog won't die from the small amount of overspray that gets over the fence. Sh o my kills algae mold and mildew. The dog will not be drinking sh overspray
I used the solution you suggested for roof cleaning but I used a canister that attaches to the power gun to spray. The solution only turned the tiles darker. Did I do something wrong.
Yes cause you're not doing it right. You need a dedicated soft wash system to clean roofs cause you need a 5% mix or better. Can't be cleaning roofs with a foam cannon that's mean for washing cars.
House washing ranges from .15-20c a square foot. The 2 story roofs ranges from .20-35c. A 6% is cause I'm using 12% sh but I'm diluting it down to 50/50. 50% water 50% sh. Which gives me the 6%
Hey buddy, great content as always. I noticed that many of your videos, you don't soak the vegetation around. Is it that you didn't show us this step for editing purposes, or does it depend on the percentage of SH that you use. Thanks in advanced for the response bro. Spray on 👊🏾👊🏾
Yea I just don't do that every video cause it's basic things that makes the video longer. Always do property protection 🙏🏽 downstreaming isn't gonna burn grass and most plants since it's a lesser percentage correct.
Everything came out great as always. I'm gonna ask I know you've said it a 100 times but what percent of SH are you getting on the trigger with that super Sud Sucker I'm getting old my memory isn't that good Lol.
@Randy Barlow yes the ball valve in the middle doesn't put NY restriction on the water full when going full flow. In the beginning I use to have the injector in the middle and the full flow would have to travel through the jump hose.
Great Job Cliff, my state of FLAWDA brother. I just subscribed to your channel after running across your content. Keep up the good work bro. Hopefully, I can chat with you by phone one day for a lil mentoring on some things about the jobs.
At the thumbnail of this video you show short gun, chemical injector, and a J rod. Will this setup work(Gun(short), Small Chemical injector(with own cut off valve), J Rod) will it work? can you give us a demonstration?
does it not matter if you get chemicals into the pool? also do you rinse off after post treatment? i read some things where you should or shouldnt rinse after post treatment
Chemical is chlorine. Can't hurt the pool that has chlorine already. And no you need to rinse post treatment. It's on concrete it'll just dry up and make the driveway nice and clean. You will find different answers for everything. Some ppl don't cook with salt and they think it's delicious.
@JimmyTanglesRecordingCo. its possible to clean cause that little 1-2% downstream mix isn't gonna mess up a pool with 5-8k gallons of water but that would be a conversation to be had beforehand with the customer.
Is that similar to teak wood? If so it may spot them (clean spots) a buddy of mine got over spray on 2 chairs made out of teak and to fix it he actually downstreamed the chairs and brushed lightly then rinse good. I've never experienced that though.
I dont have issues with that. That stuff cleans off the fascia. But if left too long it may wear the paint off the fascia. But that's not on me lol thats on the customer. There is gutter grenade, gutter butter, LAs totally awesome out there to clean those stains.
Google my business, yard signs, Facebook neighborhood groups, realtors, property managers, referrals, and flyers. The signs will get pulled , I still put them out anyway cause 100 signs should be making you 2k-5k
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash ya the signs are great..ive had only 5 people call me off the signs but made me around $3500 .. after that idk competition came in plus people with no lives pull my signs no matter wear i put them :(
@lonerangerspl that's great return on investment. They will get pulled by code enforcement as well. I don't care at all If I'm making 3k+ off a batch of 100 signs I'll continue to put them out. It's all part of the game
Hello everyone. I'm French and I'm interested in the soft washing techniques you use (they don't really exist in France). I'm sorry, I don't understand everything you explain and the answer to my question may have already been given... what percentage of bleach do you use in this specific case? All this vegetation would have worried me and you, you go there frankly🤔😵💫
Hey welcome aboard. The initial beach solution comes in either 10% or 12.5% but when the downstream chemical injector is installed to pull the bleach it dilutes with water passing through the hose. The dilution ratio varies depending on the type of injector being used. But most of them go from 1-2% As far as plants and grass just wanted before and after working you'll be good.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanks for getting back to me man. Really like your channel and thanks for showing the full process of your work. Subbed and liked your videos I watch. Thanks again from southern Oregon.

Thanks alot. That really means alot and makes me want to do more content.
Oh dang. Never mind. I should have finished watching the video.😅. Great content!
Good idea lol thanks 😊
I love softwashing good money especially with my 24 volt
That 24v is 🔥!!!!
Good job bro I hope you have an amazing 2023
Thanks Max for always encouraging and supporting me
Is that a dedicated soft wash machine different than the upstreaming through the pressure washer. Thanks for your time an showing us!!
Downstreaming is different than a dedicated softwasg system.
Downstream can only reach a certain percentage of mix.
Meanwhile a dedicated softwash system allows you to go from 1% to 12.5% mix.
All these great camera angles we'll have to start calling you Hollywood! Haha Keep up the solid content Cliff.
Lmao I try to keep it fresh
Great job always. what favorite brand surfactant do you use on the roofs? Thank you
I like slo mo surfactant from pressure washer products.
Not going to rain very much for 4 to 5 months in SW Florida, what do you tell people about the browning if they complain? Awesome Vid again BTW.
If that is going to happen then you would have to rinse it. I've never ran into that issue. That dead stuff will all go away. It doesn't need a downpour or hours of rain.
That made me laugh when you heard the dog next door.
" ooh something's big in there!"
Haha
Lol it surprised me hahah
another great video Cliff what type of extension was you using on that screen cleaning.
3ft extension wand
I had a 32 ft fiberglass ladder return it and got an aluminum one, which isn't much lighter, but they suck anyway, lol. Great videos, as always!
Those are some beasts lol
Awesome job!! U do a great job
Thank you

What you guys in the south call algae on the driveway and sidewalk, we call dirt here in Baltimore
Really? Lol we just call it algae. I'm always in Baltimore. I'm a foe hard ravens fan. I'm coming up this weekend for the bills game and gonna come back a few more times. I was there last week and also a month ago.
When cleaning around the pool do you try to not get the chemicals in the pool or does it not matter?
Sh and chlorine. So it's the same thing that's in the pool
“I got that bazooka with that SH in it” 😂😂😂
🔫 💦 lol hahahah
Your rooftop music reminds me of the old jam "Float On". BTW....Your name wouldn't happen to be Larry, would it, lol? Awesome video, Sir!!!
Lol hahaha nah its not Larry. Thanks for the laugh and for watching
What’s the best chemical for driveways ? And what’s the best for vinyl homes ?
If youre cleaning algae, mold, mildew then SH is your go to. SH is chlorine.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash appreciate it.
Great job Cliff 👍🏻 You do great work question on doing pool cages do you charge by the ft also ? Thank you 😄
Thanks. Nah I do packages for those. So I just charge a flat rate for small, medium, and larger monster cages
Thank you sir 😄 started my pressure washing business about a year ago was trying to figure out a price for those cages.
Cliff all good if I use the gun that you use (ST 2605 in my pressure washer 4000psi 4gpm? Thank you
Yes that's a suttner 2605 it will work with every single pressure washer 2gpm-12gpm doesn't matter.
With you spraying the fence is there a chance that you could potentially kill the dog if the sh ends up on the other side?
Lol no the dog won't die from the small amount of overspray that gets over the fence. Sh o my kills algae mold and mildew. The dog will not be drinking sh overspray
Hey Cliff, how much SH percentage for the PreTreat you use for this Stucco house? Great video, thank you!
To wash houses I downstream the sh so normally around 1.5-2% mix

@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Greatly appreciated. I’ve learned in my life to always listen to good advice. Trial and error. Thank you again.
What do you get for a roof that size and that small house? I’m not competition’s I’m in NJ And what’s a6% mixture?
House washing ranges from .15-20c a square foot. The 2 story roofs ranges from .20-35c. A 6% is cause I'm using 12% sh but I'm diluting it down to 50/50. 50% water 50% sh. Which gives me the 6%
Where can you buy the sud sucker
At envirospec website. They're the manufacturer
Did you wet those plants on the outside
Yes always wet plants before starting and while youre rinsing.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you my brother
Looks like you have changed ur machine an bypass around, happy new year an let’s make that $ money bro
Happy new year. Yea I flipped it and I got a new muffler. It's easier to work on the pump facing the rear of the van instead of the inside.
Nice

Lol impossible

A shooter tip

No soap in your house wash?
Sometimes. It depends if I put some in to make it stick.
At what ratio does your downstream injector pull
About 2% which is a little higher than the standard injectors

Yes. Stepped on the hose on a shingle 1 story roof.
Great video but the music is quite a bit louder than the dialog so I was constantly turning the volume up and down.
Okay gotcha
Does the CH not damage (blauwsteen/natuursteen) wood etc?
Is that similar to teak wood? If so it may spot them (clean spots) a buddy of mine got over spray on 2 chairs made out of teak and to fix it he actually downstreamed the chairs and brushed lightly then rinse good. I've never experienced that though.
