PRESSURE WASH OUT WITH WATER TO REMOVE HUNKS OF GUNK so they dont embed in the screen. i pressure washed my florida pool and screen for twenty years. THEN PRETREAT. SAVE THE PLANTS.
@@justice2255 we could never encourage people enough to soak the plants first before any chemicals happen!
Standard GPM is 4 for residential.
@@Pystdammit thanks for chipping in! While I’ve experienced less than that… especially when dealing with well water… it’s always relieving to get 4gpm from a house. For those reading and wondering, once your water pump crosses that GPM rating, dont forget to get a buffer tank!
Thanks about the closed toe tip. Was about to step into the flip flops..
@@JasonL-hr2hb flip flops are great… until you don’t have any toes to hold them on!
I live off a dirt road with a white vinyl siding and its stained so bad. Im at a loss of what to use to get the brown yellow stains off. Everybody in the neighborhood thought my house was yellow.😢
@@joe89chev this is a tough one. Water alone will not get it… and SOME chemicals are able to at least lighten the stains. Good luck! I have had to invest in chemicals to have any luck.
Yep, that’s business. There’s usually enough out there. I’m in pest sales and there’s always someone who’s tired of the bugs, the company they use.
@@jeremytome I’m finding that there is no shortage of work… and there’s a weird shift in work expectations… so there just aren’t as many people who are out there providing professional services consistently. They are out there! It’s just getting polarized.
Thank you for the video by the way it was very helpful
@@jane2100 you’re welcome! Thanks for coming along for the adventure 🤘Good luck out there #savethetoes
I just got a pressure washer from Lowe’s and the O-ring is leaking water everywhere. I put a new one in, but I’m not sure if it’s the right one because it’s still leaking. How am I supposed to know which one to use?
@@jane2100 depends where it’s leaking! There are 2 common size of orings used (that I replace all of the time) with pressure washing hoses and wands. There’s a size that fits the hose and a smaller size that fits the end of the wand where the top goes in. Maybe bring the old one with you to a store to match it if possible? Then there are garden hose o rings and others that are changed less often.
Do you have a brand name or link for that 150ish psi sprayer?
@@marclaprade3889 the one with the red spray nozzle? While links are tricky on here, if you search something like “Electric booster pump pressure washing” or “Velocity Stainless steel 33gpm booster pump” you should see what I was specifically using during this video. They are hit and miss with people so be cautious before you buy. When they work, they work great! But… they are high maintenance and pricey compared to similar products. It’s faster but there are lots of “down days” where you are waiting for parts… so have a backup. Keep in mind that I did have a pressure washer on hand to take care of anything really stubborn. Usually something in the 4-6GPM range(with the right tip while being careful) works good once you need pressure for situations with lichen growth. Thanks for the question!
Dont need to say anything, except Thank You. Sure glad I listened before I started this project. I have already ruined the front of my old house with a pressure washer I borrowed. Wish I could find a computer guy like you. They all take it for granted that you know what this, that, or the other is. When you have no, I repeat, NO knowledge of what they are telling you to do.
@@CharlotteWaters-dm3yl this comment means a lot and Im grateful for the kind words. I really did try to do my best to make this for people out there with no prior experience. With that in mind, what’s a follow up video to this that YOU wish existed? Or a recommendation?
Can you recommend the size unit I should buy to do a stucco home? I tried using a cheap unit and it was useless yet at the same time I’ve heard to big of a unit could cause damage Thanks
@@Farmer_26 I think a unit that’s between 2000-3500 psi going for 2-3 gallons per minute (GPM) is great for household use. That’s just my opinion! Good luck!
Thank you for sharing those tips. Appreciated!
@@shirleyrauscher8232 you’re welcome!
Why do you have to do all that talking in the beginning. Just get to the point please. Next time that is
@@brandiJC This wasn’t a get to the point video… but it adds value and gives context. And I’m not avoiding the truth that I can be long winded… I know that! I’ve got some shorts if you prefer “straight to the point” content. Thanks for watching 😁
Very helpful tips. Thank you!
@@susanepstein5874 you’re welcome!
Whew! Things might start heavy but they get lighter! Just had to work through these thoughts with you. Thanks for sticking around! It’s refreshing to press publish.
Wild year for me. You out of pressure washing? Hope you’re doing well. Been through a lot of roller coaster times and it can be overwhelming when things get better.
@@jeremytome Hey! First, I’m still pressure washing and still have my business. It’s a different pace now that it’s not my full time job, but it’s still happening! Rebuilding in a new city is slow but it’s picking up. I’m recording content that I look forward to putting together and sharing. I’ve just been in a weird place! It’s a roller coaster for sure so I appreciate the support and encouragement. I look forward to looking back on this season several years from now with clarity. I know there are lots of things I’ll be thankful for in this season of change and personal growth. That said, washing content will be back! Fee free to drop requests and ideas.
I found this very helpful I was just going to go out and work with my pressure washer wearing sneakers. Now I've got on work boots because you guys reminded me how much pressure is really involved. I also like that while recognizing that people watching are often novices I don't feel talked down to.
Absolutely! I also struggled to find videos that really got back to the basics and cover some of the “little things” that no one was talking about. Im learning more every time I wash… even a few years later since this was made. Thank you for the kind words!
So, I've pressure washed 2 houses and used sandals and that's 100% true. Not only did I sweep my foot, but you also get brush burns basically from your feet being soaked with dirt and tiny pebbles that get in your sandal because your feet move around a lot in them while they're wet
You are brave… you have learned… and thank you for confirming my point! 😆 I hope you’ll stick around for what I have planned. Best of luck out there!
@@ThatMillennialDad I don't know about brave. But I sure learned my lesson :)
@@Jay-Kaizo hey, going outside seems to be an act of courage in 2024… right? Haha.
Thanks for this great video. Very interesting. I used a pressure washer at a client friend's place the other day, having never ever used one before. I pushed the trigger and it sprayed fine, but then I let it go and then pressed it again and it wouldn't respond to that for a while. Then after a while I pressed the trigger again and it sprayed. Then I let it go and when I pressed it again it wouldn't spray again. Any ideas why this would happen, why I couldn't just press the trigger whenever I wanted to blast water?
This one is interesting. How long did you wait in between stopping and trying to spray? Water pumps need some time to “load”… it sounds like it’s changing gears once you go to spray. That said, it could be a lot of things. The pressure washer motor, the water pump, the water flow from the source (like a house), the washer could simply be dying… I wish I could help! I’d start with my sure there is good water flow going to the washer and making sure you have good oil in the pressure water motor AND water pump… and go from there.
@@ThatMillennialDad I didn't time how long I had to wait. The second time it didn't respond to my pushing the trigger, I just gave up, disconnected the hose and unplugged the pressure washer, and then just washed everything with just a hose and nozzle. There was a slow leak where the hose connects to the pressure washer, that probably didn't help. It has an on/off pedal, looks like every other time you push it you turn it on and every other time you push it you turn it off. Like a toggle switch. So you can't tell if you're turing it on or off. But I pressed it and then the trigger many times, and no spray for a while after I let go of the trigger. It might well have kept spraying if I'd kept holding onto the trigger, who knows.
Thank you for breaking down gallons per minute usage!
You’re welcome! Thanks for hanging out on my channel! Best of luck to you out there 👏
Do you then microfiber wipe dry rails ?
It depends on the color and how dirty it is. I always have a pack of new microfiber cloths with me. Sometimes, it saves a TON of time to just “detail” with a clean cloth rather than rinse over and over again. Good question!
Always clean top to bottom
ALWAYS.
Hey starting doing some pressure washing on the side only have money for a small pump up sprayer at the moment what ratio do you use for your chemicals? When mixing with water
Hey! Good question. The ratio depends on what you are washing and how dirty it is! Also consider the strength of what you’re mixing with water in the pump sprayer. If you’re using full strength chlorinated bleach (SH), it’s between 10-12% in the jug which is really strong. You want to dilute it down to 1-2% in most cases. You have to be careful if you go stronger than that. I’ve done 5% in some unusual cases… like with Screens with heavy lichen. (Overspray will kill things though). It was to loosen it up for washing. If it’s a jug of something like a mildew remover (which usually is a prediluted version of the SH concentrate), maybe you would be fine to go 50-50. Some of those even sell their projects in bottles with sprayers that hookup to a garden hose so you can skip the pump sprayer. Hope that helps! Don’t forget to empty and rinse your pump sprayer once you’re done.
Such a scam
Don’t tell the customers! Because earning money by providing a requested service could be the sketchiest trend of 2024.
My husband got me a pressure washer for Christmas and since the weather is finally nice, I wanted to start using it. I wanted to watch a few videos because manuals are always vague. And I love how a “what not to do” video is 100 times more helpful than an actual “what to do” video! You’re a natural teacher and I’m excited to start washing safely thanks to this!💚
this is generous and so appreciated! Thank you for the comment! You're invited to join along for the other pressure washing videos (and random dad stuff) of course....
How often should a brick house get pressure washed? How long should you wait in between the first-time pressure wash and second time? Had a brick house pressure washed for the first time and was informed a second should be done in three months.
Hello! This depends on where you are in the world and how fast it gets dirty. In the southeast USA, I recommend once a year. The recommendation sounds… odd! You don’t have to rewash in 3 months unless you are planning to paint or do something specific. There is no advantage to doing it that often due to it being brick. I hope that helps!
Great video! Had a quick question… What pressure setting would you recommend to wash a brick home built in 1995? Any specific cleaner best? I know you said they can damage the pump. I was going to use “mean green”. Thanks for any help, God bless
You’re welcome and thanks for the comment! Getting to the questions: -for the SETTING, pay attention to the degree number/color of the tip. For brick, I would try the 25 degree/green tip and be careful with your distance (like in the b-roll of the video). If the brick is in good condition, this shouldn’t be a problem but be cautious as you go. - As far as the chemical, something like “mean green” can help. If you are going to spray it through your pressure washer, make sure you rinse it when you are done by putting water in the soap tank. Some of their products do have diluted chlorinated bleach in them. That’s what will rust things from the inside out if you’re not careful! Brick doesn’t need a specific cleaner, but I’ll note that some of those common cleaners make it a little easier since it’s a very porous surface. I hope that helps and I hope you’ll follow along to check out the videos I have planned for the near future!
Been there plenty of times
It’s a great place with a lot to explore! What’s your favorite section/point of interest?
Hi Thanks for the video! I’m buying a new 7x16 enclosed trailer for my home remodeling business. In your opinion, how does or would this stuff hold up to loading tools on top of it: dewalt rolling totes, table saws, mitre saws, saw stands, buckets…. Just general tools being loaded in and out and not being used in the most delicate way… Is it tunable enough to withstand some contact from metal tools without chipping?
Thanks for the question! In my opinion, this type of paintable truck liner is the best option for what you’re talking about. 2 coats of this would stand up great against tools and abuse! It’s is rubberized which I think gives it a bit of advantage for how you’ll be using it. Re-coating is always good since it’s not bulletproof but it holds up. Again, it’s my opinion. I hope whatever you choose works great for your trailer!
I've noticed (sometimes) after I pressure wash brick surfaces that there's a white chalky, salt looking substance afterwards. What is this and how do I prevent? Am I "burning" the brick with too high a mix? Not rinsing enough, or soon enough?Thank u!
random spoon in your E track lol, anyway great video looking up ideas for my trailer, about to start a solar panel cleaning business and this very well may be the best idea for me. Thanks
You just talked me into hiring someone 😂
My guess is that you were worried about your toes? 😁
I to do pressure washing and I’m going to buy my third enclosed trailer as they go bad after about 4 years do to the chemicals spilling on the floor. Especially on the metal tubing that the hinges secure to. Completely rusted out. It’s just really more feasible to get a new trailer than fix. I did use epoxy previously on the last trailer but on my new one I’m going all out and laying down rolled roofing on the floor than go over it with a roof coating. Then again I may use a epdm glue down rubber membrane. Also coat all the underside with the rubberized coating. Anyways these trailers are our office lol and they are not cheap it’s worth the extra time and money to protect them.
Agreed! These are great ideas. Don’t forget the bottom side of the trailer everyone!
I see the bed liner didn’t hold up to good??
So pretty ❤
Haha ❤
That’s so true 😂

Could you connect a rain water barrel to a psi 1800 power washer? Would it work properly? Thank you
That looks good😩
I can confirm that it was good. Not the best I’ve had… but it was a good taco with great company
Nice family time. 🤙
Thank you for following the journey! Been finding a lot of these times in this new season. It’s been refreshing.
I am trying to buy pressure washer for my one pool screen and wood fence, which pressure washer do you recommend. I don't want to get washer that is too strong for the screen and/or weak for wood fence and driveway.... appreciate your help to choose one
can you recommend any products that can remove or permanently remove algae?
So my Ryobi pressure washer has a tank included but it has a letter that says no bleach so I'm assuming that's an upstream injector is it possible to reroute it and use it as a downstream injector?
Looking forward to the stream. I hope i could stop by and watch. Also, That's a really cool room, reminds me of my teenage years where i collect random gaming paraphernalia. I gave some of those away though when i moved in to another city but my gaming hobby still remains. Play on TMD!
Great info thanks you
You’re welcome! #savethetoes
Cool moments. I remember having my first bike training with my uncle at the age of 11 . I gotta say, the bike didn't last a month after getting a lot of minor accidents 😂. The ride was awesome though, but a it was a charge to experience for me to be careful next time
Great advice
Thanks! More to come… slowly but surely.
