You're working unnecessarily twice as hard. Use pool grade bleach, water, laundry detergent, a pump up sprayer and let it dwell for 10-15 minutes. Then use the pressure washer and surface cleaner.
@@craig156 Pool grade bleach is around 12.5%. You can dilute to approximately 4:1 or 3:1 to get a 3-4% mix in a gallon pump-up sprayer. Add about 4 oz of laundry detergent (Gain is preferred by us Old Timers). You can use a dish soap like Dawn but make sure it's the formula that's safe for bleach. Get the concrete wet first, then apply your mix. Let it dwell for about 15 minutes but make sure it doesn't dry. Then use the surface cleaner. Hope this helps!
@@craig156 It will not remove oil stains. There are other chemicals (I think) that may remove oil. You can find those chemicals at a pressure washing supply store.
Pool shock works better. The chemical in it (sodium hypochlorite) eats all organic material away and it’s what professional pressure washing business use. Mix it to a 3-4 percent sodium hypochlorite ratio and spray it into the concrete. It will eat all of the organics up and then you can surface clean it. No scrubbing required!! Clean in straight lines across the driveway or concrete area. If you see lines left over treat with the pool shock again and boom a clean driveway the way the pros do it 👍👍
I hope you do know the common name for sodium hypochlorite is.......bleach. You don't need to spend money on pool shock, just spend $1 on a gallon of bleach and dilute.
@@roseashley7650 it kills it for a longer period of time. It will grow back with time but without the treatment it will come back in lines and look horrible. SH gives makes the final produce last longer and come back uniform. It is very important to use it if you are selling the service.
@@djfglobal3377 It's bleach. These "professional" sidewalk sh*t scrubbers use surfactant, sodium hypochlorite, and dihydrogen monoxide. The rest of us use soap, bleach, and water.

It is that easy, although it does the job it doesn’t completely keep it clean the brush helps but it’s just extra work ,it shouldn’t need any extra work and you should be moving the surface cleaner slower so it gets all the stains out of it
You use a surface cleaner in slightly overlapping straight passes, not a circular motion. Also, post treat with 4% SH through a pump sprayer. There is no need to use an industrial grade degreaser unless you are spot treating oil stains. You made this process more complicated than necessary.
@geesegoose6174 The fact that you don't understand what he is talking about is quite common for a commenter on social media. The surface cleaner (that's the round tool attached to a pressure washer) will clean concrete without needing to use the brush and chemicals. If, after everything has dried, there are lines on the concrete, you simply use a bleach mixture to erase them (still no scrubbing needed). Plenty of videos on here to educate you and walk you through the process.
@@uhlspetznazso you are going to do the job twice the way you describe it since most of the time there will be lines on badly stained concrete. I can tell you from experience bleach mixture will not always erase those lines. Better to do it right the first time than do a second time.
Have you tried a chemical called TSP ,( TRI SODIUM PHOSPHATE) eats right though grease and oil but will harm plants,just get concrete wet , sprinkle on powder,let sit a few minutes then work it with a brush and pressure wash, it's pretty harsh so I would not recommend for dyed concrete, and test out on a small inconspicuous area😊
Holy shit as someone that does this for a living this was painful to watch😂. Thats called a surface cleaner and brushing that did nothing it works itself in
@@foofur6647 i use sodium hypochlorite as normal in a 2-4% mix and have never hurt grass or flowers and ive done greenhouses and flower shops.Pre rinse any grass/plants and post rinse and you will never have a problem at all
Outdoor bleach, dawn dish soap, and a sunny day apply rinse... then apply scrub rince then pressure wash. It take days to get it clean not just a few hours.
Poor guy. You really don’t understand how ineffective this gentleman is working. Highly diluted bleach (about 3-4%) will be enough to put down on this concrete with a pump sprayer, let it dwell for a bit, and take the surface cleaner to it. Work smarter not harder
Use Sodium Hydroxide get a five gallon bucket fill with water put 3 cups of powder Sodium Hydroxide in water add one cup of dawn mix until powder is dissolved apply to concrete. Have at it
Chlorine buddy....$5 bucks at Walmart... dilute to 5% and spray on. Let it dwell for 15 minutes then hit with that nice surface cleaner you have. Then post treat for 15 more minutes, then rinse
Just get that pool bleach/sh and put detergent. Let sit for a bit then use the surface cleaner and you're golden. Remember every gpm is 4 inches. So 4 gpm machine is 16 in surface cleaner max
You have to explain what kind of concrete you have that looks like it's a very smooth concrete it is a very smooth concrete anything can remove anything I have a one of those concrete that observes the oil
Well, I love the gentleman actually scrubs the concrete with a wire brush. Most of videos pretend that chemicals and pressure water all the job and most of the times it doesn't. Congratulations!
Rose, clean your grout !! Then use grout sealer. Two coats. Then seal one coat yearly! I don't know the condition of your grout but , Home Depot sells an acrylic based grout that can go over existing grout. It's called, Fussion Pro ! Should be professionally done. $$$$ of course. Good luck!
You're using the wrong chemicals if you have to scrub it. Go to your local pool supply store, no scrubbing required, and it will clean even better than wat your doing. Yours still looks dirty by comparison.

Do SH really prevent the mold and algae from growing back?

Pressure washing concrete unless you have really bad stains you don’t need soap!!

Lol yea that what I was thinking
Ouch.

Use muratic acid slightly diluted, etches concrete. Literally makes it white with no pressure washing or scrubbing . Just spray and rinse
Pro tip: thoroughly rinse the adjoining grass butting up to the concrete pads. If you don’t that filthy black water will KILL that bordering grass.
I dont think it will. I do pressure washing and have never had a problem with dirty water going into grass
No it wont. Why? Because what actually kills the grass is bleach, which hes not using, not the dirt hes washing off, aka "black water"

Biggest mistake EVERYBODY makes is not resealing the slab. Water will freeze in the slab and crack.
True but did that look like fridged temperatures?
All slabs crack never had water freeze and crack a slab though.

1/3rd bleach 2/3rds water in a garden sprayer before using the pressure washer works great. Works on the house too.

The lower area tho.. I seen some black spots.. maybe he should use different products. And the surface cleaner is a pressure washer's best friend.
Use more dwell time. With Light spraying.
I don't know everything, but I believe the pressure washer would have gotten that off with zero chemicals
There is an easier and 10x faster way - SH before, surface clean, SH after. Done without breaking a sweat.
I'd eat off it depending on what you are making for dinner .. 😂
“Whirly-jig-jobbies”
Skip the detergent. Straight water will do just as well and save you lots of money 💰 Unless you have maybe red clay stains.
You should get yourself a floor grinder with a wire pad of some sort to save scrubbing it with a stick
currently sitting in my car with 14 bottles of pool shock from Walmart watching this 😆
Presoak before adding soap
Wait, Bob my uncle?!?
Is this routine maintenance for concrete driveways? I didn't realize I had to do that 😦

Is cleaning dirty stuff routine where you live? Asked and answered I guess.
