I have the same old trex decking to clean next week. Don't think it's as bad as that one but gonna use the 12v with maybe 3% and see how it comes out. Great stuff as always
Id always read that you werent supposed to use SH with trex. Looks like it came out well. Going to have to start doing that from now on. 6% though...wow. strong mix!
@@powerfulimprovements gotcha. I wasnt giving you crap, I turned down some 1st gen trex the other day because I was worried I was going to destroy their deck even more than it already was. After watching this I'd be willing to give it a try
I hear ya, have the same concerns myself. I'm going to use a 3% mix and see if it does the trick. If it doesn't, I may just increase the strength to 5 or 6%.
@@giantslayer473 I wouldn't. I'd just use a standard house wash mix and let it swell for 20 mins. That seems to do the trick without needing much pressure
@@bhhacker "standard house wash mix", can you elaborate? Do you mean like what I would use (mix) if I were cleaning vinyl siding? Like a 1-2% sh and soap mix? Or no?
The last hose I had blow,I took it to Napa and had them put male and females fittings on it. I wasn’t sure how long it would last,but it has been going strong for a month now. 👍Just a way to get a little more life out of it.

I'll ask you since u the godfather.. is it really safe to use SH on composite trex deck . The manufacturer says not to but what u did there is beautiful... cleaning a Grey colored trex deck in 2 weeks
Hey Joe very nice work man you make it look easy and professional im down in the plainville ct area still learning learning i watch your videos a lot plus we share weathers lol we need to meet up some time for a cold one or two
Hey Joe can I pick your brain real quick. I know sometimes on these older gen trex dex can end up faded with white dotted spots. Ever run into that with 6% sh on them?
@@powerfulimprovements appreciate the reply. Thanks for the advice. I’m from Westfield ma and love watching/learning from your videos. (Especially the rants). Keep on crushing it hope you find that happy medium!👊🏻
Also I clean with house wash all the time, and 1% wouldn’t have cleaned this within any reasonable time. It maybe cost me 8-10$ in chem to save more than 30 min dwell time.
Joe, you’re an inspiration in the industry 😀
Thank you!!

That should do it
Rpp
Fantastic! Satisfying content Mr. Deery.
Thank you Cliff. Keep killing it!!!
When your in doubt, Joe will wash it out ! Thanks for another great video !
😂😂
Awesome videos like always 💪 .
Glad you like them!
First view, comment, and like on the video! Yes, I get excited over the small things.
Nicely done
Awesome deck transformation Joe 👍
Thank you!
Great results Joe!
Thank you

Still crushing it!! Looks good Joe!

Is 6% the final ratio? or are you using a 6% SH with no dilution?
6% sh on the deck
Your truck looks like me truck!😆

You didn’t follow up with a wood brightener, correct ? Just a soft wash on the composite deck ?
Correct

I hesitate to green light it. I’ve had good luck to date. Especially on old filthy trex like this video
@Powerful Improvements ok so to be safe just scrub it with warm water and like a surfactant
@@wv8404 well. I didn’t say that either. Gotta use chlorine to kill organic material
Did I miss it? What was used on the trex? I find it hard to get and keep this stuff clean.
Sh.
@@powerfulimprovements thought so, thanks.
Morning sir
So I’m new to the industry, is 6% the bleach to water mixture ?
Did you spray the railings with 6% as well? And did you worry about the grass getting misted by the 6% mix?
Yes we did and the yard was no issue
hey Joe, nice as always! I cannot get ahold of the company for the SH in 55 gallon drums. is there a number to reach them?
Google Agrochem. They are in NY
nice joe,,,I have a trex coming up...is that normal downstream on the trex?
No 12 volt 6%
@@powerfulimprovements thanks
@@rja820 you could Xjet or pump spray too
Can you paint it though? I can’t afford to replace mine and I can’t stand the color
No idea about painting
SH safe on composite decking ?
In my experience it is
Hey Joe got a link to the tamco tank?
Sorry I do not. US plastics
@@powerfulimprovements I actually think I found it and shipping isn't that bad. What other tanks are you carrying on the truck?

Hey Joe can I pick your brain real quick. I know sometimes on these older gen trex dex can end up faded with white dotted spots. Ever run into that with 6% sh on them?
Yes. It bleaches out the wood fibers. Unavoidable if using SH
@@powerfulimprovements what would you recommend cleaning it with? Or is that a normal result with old trex and to set the customers expectations?
@@CradysPowerWashing-vi9ti set the expectation

When u rinse the trex deck, whats your PSI set to?
Psi is controlled by the tip you use. Not so much at the unloader. My m5 put out about 150-200 psi
@@powerfulimprovements im not sure how much my m5 puts out. What size fan tip should I use?
@@Dnieves616 you need to by a pressure gauge
Number 6
I thought trex didn’t need to be cleaned like wood
Unfortunately but fortunately for us, mold and mildew grows on everything
My God you stay busy... Testament to your business skills, how many jobs do you average a month?
60-75
Where's the red gun?
Not the right tool today
Now that is a dirty house!
Right!?
Here thinking you were cleaning a T-Rex #disappointed
😂😂
😂
6% of what?
Sodium hypochlorite
@@powerfulimprovements does that just mean household bleach?
@@DoctorSmartyPantspool shock
Six percent what? Bleach?
Yes
6% is way too hot Joe! Waste of chem. Normal house wash will give the same result will the same dwell.
Sorry. No it won’t. 3% maybe
Also I clean with house wash all the time, and 1% wouldn’t have cleaned this within any reasonable time. It maybe cost me 8-10$ in chem to save more than 30 min dwell time.
