@@t-n-tpressurecleaning7781 I really appreciate it. They are so hard to clean off. Yeah, I've only been turning them over once. I initially lay it down in the spring. And later sometime turn it over in the summer. Feeling a little dumb for not knowing that.. Enjoy your content, just recently subscribed. Thx for taking the time to reply.
Trevor.... I appreciate your response in another video about pricing. you said $225 for rust removal to start. At $225 minimum, how much would you charge per s.f. for rust removal for "commercial" (a church)? Thanks.
If I am using F9 BARC at $50 per gallon then I look at how many gallons I will be using and then take my hourly rate. Some guys are at $75 per hour and some are $250. You’ll need to determine your worth and ability to produce results, proven results without any doubt or issues that arise from caustic chemicals. Because it’s a church and the referrals could potentially be amazing I would consider giving them a break by making sure you chem cost is covered and then a friends and family discount applied. Sorry to be vague and not precise but pricing is subjective to many factors. I hope this helps a tad.
@@t-n-tpressurecleaning7781 helps a ton... And great point about referrals. Thank you very much. Going to do test spots tomorrow with both F9 and oxylic acid and go from there...
I do a video of before then a video of the after. Sorry for not being a video master editor. I do this for fun and free to provide some help for new guys and maybe some older people who want to learn.
Yes, it will absolutely kill the grass. Trick is to get the grass wet before, during and after as well as mixing only the strength you need versus putting down a nuclear mix and frying everything in sight. With that said it also brightens greatly whatever surface you are applying so it is imperative to know how much or little to use, otherwise it will look ridiculous when you’re done. Getting the right batch mix is key to a successful removal.
Most all hardscape surfaces; however depending on how strong you make it, you can brighten too much paint and concrete; there is most definitely a method to using it as a rust, iron and sulfur remover.
Hi Tae, I’m assuming that your home is stucco? There are many paints (especially from Sherwin Williams) that contain organics in the pigments. I’ve seen terra-cotta homes turn mustard yellow from the previous power washing company, I have also seen battleship gray homes turn schoolhouse green. it is imperative to do a test area prior to shooting if you’re in question at all do a test for the colorfast of the paint; even a one and a half percent light house wash mix can still cause irreversible damage in which case oxalic acid which is a rust, iron and sulfur remover product will not solve the problem. If the SH has changed the color of the home, it will need to be repainted. If the SH hit your home did not change the color but changed the mold, mildew and algae to a bright orange, then you will need a hotter mix to kill all of the algae. If you have rust stains from the irrigation system that is showing orange on the house then you can use oxalic acid diluted properly so that you don’t further damage the paint. There is an art form with exterior chemicals and you must be properly educated before trying to apply because there is potentially a lot of damage that can occur from an improper application. I hope this helps and feel free to write back so that I may further assist you thank you very much. Take care and have a great day.
@@t-n-tpressurecleaning7781 thanks so much for all the info! Yep I’ve only done it in a small area that I intend on painting. It’s vinyl paneling. I think for my own curiosity I will hit it with a hotter mix :) Love your channel. Thanks for all the info. One thing I havnt seen addressed in them is the risk to plants using 1.5-2% sh. Do you find using weaker mixes like this pose much of a risk? Or is it more for the hot roof mixes you need to worry more?
Always rinse, make sure grass is wet underneath. If you are ever in question, just ask yourself if this were my property and surface, would I want a chemical left on my investment to dry out and brittle it over time. Non rinsers are looking to get out quick and skip a step. The debate on rinsing roofs free of SH has pros and cons for both arguments. I’m a rinser for sure ! Hope this helps ..
Hey, I am planning on doing an old log cabin with an xjet. First a house wash mix then neutralize with oxalic acid powder mix. I have never xjetted ox acid. What would you recommend for a mix ratio of ox acid? Thanks
Artillery fungus can be removed by hand. Alcohol will strip the protective UV coating off of the vinyl fence produced by the manufacturer; yes you can use alcohol to remove them but when the fence dries you’ll see dull areas where you removed the fungus. Remember there are hundreds of them if not into the thousands so if you want to remove them be prepared to be working for hours if not a couple of days. Kill them with SH and let them flake off naturally, while your cleaning the fence scratch off gently the ones that stand out to your eye level. They don’t just wipe off with acids, caustics or solvents. Best of luck!
Yes absolutely! I have over 700 videos on RUclips and there are a ton showing and explaining the system. I will try and find a link or two to send to you.
@@KaidenGarza I appreciate that! I run 100’ of 3/8ths polybraided food grade siphon hose with an old Xjet strainer into a 55 gallon vertical chemical tank strapped to an aluminum hand truck and use gorilla ties to hold hoses and hang them as well. I keep the cap and have not drilled into it so I can transport without any spillage. 30 gallons of SH is 300lbs so I don’t suggest trying to take anything over that through the grass.
I usually go at least 8 scoops per gallon. Just depends on what surface and how bad the rust, iron and sulfur are. They suggest 4 scoops per which works on super light staining. Just be careful because you can change the color of the surface much lighter. Always pre wet and rinse as soon as it disappears.

Lol! You got it. Thanks bud, I appreciate you 👍 pretty heavy irrigation stains huh?
@@t-n-tpressurecleaning7781 definitely. I just cleaned irrigation rust staining off a driveway yesterday afternoon. A satisfying difference.
Looks like they need a water filter... which will have to be replaced regularly because of the volume associated with watering the yard.

Why not show us the full before and after. Especially where the heavy stains were. This would truly convince us to use the oxalic acid.

So the oxalic doesn’t kill the grass?
Yes, it will absolutely kill the grass.

What surfaces/materials can you use oxalic acid on?
Most all hardscape surfaces; however depending on how strong you make it, you can brighten too much paint and concrete; there is most definitely a method to using it as a rust, iron and sulfur remover.
@@t-n-tpressurecleaning7781 Cheers mate!
Hi, so the SH I sprayed on my house has made my house bright orange. It’s been around a week, would I need oxolic acid to remove it?
