You just got a new subscriber my man. Just recently orchard everything to start my own pressure washing business so I've been trying to cram as much info in as possible. Great video. Looking forward to more videos you put out!
I use a gimbal to shoot my inspection videos. A stable image of paint spots or cracks can save thousands in claims. It also can help a home owner demonstrate work done for insurance, or so their insurance can pay them back for vandalism cleaning. After I got a few insurance company calls asking for footage, I made the filming a standard practice.
It really depends on the weather and how big the house is. If it's very hot and sunny, I'll start on the shade side and wash and rinse those parts.Then move on to the sunny side. You don't want the chemical to sit on the sunny side and dry. If it is a cloudy or rain day, I'll do the entire house and then rinse.
Why not buy chemicals in bulk? Running to the store for every job is wasteful. When I ran my mechanic shop, anything I used a lot of, I bought a lot at once. Gloves, rags, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid etc etc. Every trip to the store is time and gas. And when the store is closed or out of what you need, then what? With my welding business, I keep spares of everything I use. I have all the materials on hand ready to go. Saves a lot of time and cost.
Generally bulk is the way to go if you're going to be working consistently, however, SH degrades from many variables and of the primary variables is time. It's best to get it fresh because the wash mix is expected to have a specific percentage of Sodium Hypochlorite when it hits the house. There's really no way to know how much it has degraded without sending it to a company for testing (that I know of) so trying to get an accurate end result isn't really possible outside of luck if the primary variable is of an unknown potency.
Considering I heard sherwin Williams often uses organic material in their paint and that sometimes stain can be affected by Sh(mainly on wood, not sure about concrete) would you then wash the house with sh if you were to come back to the customer sometime in the future?
How's it going bro just started my busines.... Curious on the no wand , I see some people love wands other don't use it. Is there a time when you use a wand or do you find with jrod your fine without? Gonna get a mtm gun soon thanks in advance
I use a wand, both short and long. Short wand allows me to maneuver around and wash much easier seeing that I can use it with one hand. The long wand is great for using a turbo nozzle or rinsing a lot of flat surfaces because you can get closer from a distance (curbing, sidewalks, parking stops). I’ve seen the “no wand” washers with a J-rod, but it’s not for me. That thing feels like a fire out of control (once again, for me). I just use it to rinse.
Online but honestly, any surfactant that’s a SH enhancer will work. It doesn’t have to be exactly eLemonator. That was just a surfactant at the time of the video.
First thing first, you have to identify what the green stuff is. It maybe algae, paint run off or oxidation. From there you can find out how to clean/fix it
@@ACEContractingServices I’ve tried pump sprayer and a foam gun by rybobi, it still stays on the siding so I have to get super close and use high pressure to get it off even though it’s super thin
@@JasorTube if it’s not coming off, this might mean that your bleach is not strong enough. I’ve downstream at 1.5% and it didn’t work. So I went 50/50 in a pump sprayer and it nuked it. The only time I get close is when the siding is already or they are about to paint or fix it.
You made some very good points that I haven’t seen on other videos
thanks.

I have a gimbal, I just need to use it more
I was enjoying the video , but when the beat dropped and I loved the video!
Thanks
Rock On!
That’s the surfactant I use as well, gets Windows really clean as well, love the stuff!
I don’t mind spending a little extra on that stuff right there. But I do want to try and find something local and quicker (no shipping)
I'm just starting can you guys tell me the names of the chemicals and how to mix em and apply them please
@@llopez4700 for the surfactant (soap) we use a product called Elemonator. You’ll only need about an ounce per gal of water/SH
Great 👍 video brother keep up the amazing work
Thanks! Will do!
Good video my brotha, title is COMPLETELY WRONG lol!
So do you soak the whole house down with the solution and then go rinse it ? If so I need to be doing that ..
It really depends on the weather and how big the house is. If it's very hot and sunny, I'll start on the shade side and wash and rinse those parts.Then move on to the sunny side. You don't want the chemical to sit on the sunny side and dry.

Instead of re-paint, you can use cleansol bc or one restore to remove oxidation
Customer was selling the house and wanted it painted.
Thanks for watching…
He made it so simple!
Thanks!
Love the video, keep them coming.
More to come!
How do you prevent oxidation when you house wash?
No pressure but be upfront with the client. Just in case
There's a Leslie's pool in chili near where I use to live
Go check them out
Are you using a soft wash system on the house? Sounds like a pressure washer, are you down streaming? Thanks great job
Downstreaming
great job bro
Thanks

Instead of painting just remove the oxidation with gutter butter. Much easier than applying new paint and way more profitable.
Thanks
Considering I heard sherwin Williams often uses organic material in their paint and that sometimes stain can be affected by Sh(mainly on wood, not sure about concrete) would you then wash the house with sh if you were to come back to the customer sometime in the future?
Yes I would
I got a house to wash, wood siding, painted blue, with oxidation. A little nervous. Any suggestions appreciated.
Blue houses are the toughest.
Set the expectation that it’s going to be clean but it might become more chalky. Softwash only, no pressure.
Buddy, you didn't speak about any of the oxidation removal! Your answer is just to paint it. I thought this was an Oxidation removal video!
Good stuff.
Thanks.

Are you wetting the house before applying your chemical?
I don't/ didn't. I only wet the house if the siding is SUPER hot. So that way it prevents the house flash/oxidize.
Hey sir, where are you from? You happened to be near Savannah Georgia? I can give you a place to get SH for $2 a gallon and it’s around 11%.
I’m now at $1.50/gallon
@@ACEContractingServices where can you buy SH for under 2 a gallon? I am in NC

Where do u get Eliminator Jean? Local or online?

i use bleach and soap and i let it sit for 10 mins and when i go to rinse it off there is still that green!! someone pls help
First thing first, you have to identify what the green stuff is. It maybe algae, paint run off or oxidation. From there you can find out how to clean/fix it
@@ACEContractingServices same thing as in the video. what should i use for regular green siding
@@JasorTube How are you putting SH and surfactant (bleach and soap) on the siding? Downstream, pump sprayer, soft wash pump?
@@ACEContractingServices I’ve tried pump sprayer and a foam gun by rybobi, it still stays on the siding so I have to get super close and use high pressure to get it off even though it’s super thin

A-100 from Sherwin Williams is crappy paint.
Customer was selling the home and did not want to use Super Paint, Duration or Emerald
