Just a hint that may or may not be relevant, based on years of powerwashing tractor trailers: Anytime you have a large surface with a lot of dirt/grime/algae, always start your spray pattern at the very bottom and work your way up, then back down. The natural tendency is start at the top, but when you do, the cleaning solution runs down and cuts rivulets through the grime below. Depending on the surface and the type of grime, these lines can be _very_ hard to get rid of, and even after a thorough cleaning may still show up. Just my two cents worth.
I love it. Great suggestion!
I have heard this before. Good thought.
Thank you MH Webb I always start at the top but I won't this time.
Starting at bottom is right. I just use $3 of clorox and warm water in a 2 gallon sprayer
Thanks for the tip. I will try it
First video about this that actually talks about what it could do to the grass. Thank you for making this video
You are the BEST! I love your energy and how simple you make these home improvement and Manly Moment videos!
Thanks, Michael. Now get to work on your house.

You're welcome, Heather!
Bought my wife a bucket truck, you just have to know her, for doin this type of cleaning, trimming our trees and other projects involving ladders, scaffolds, ladders ON scaffolds or in back of pickup truck beds. We have a fairly large house, brick and vinyl siding, a 30X45 pool garage, vinyl siding, and a 40X60X13 garage, yep, vinyl siding. The house with 2nd floors is the most difficult but the tall garage bout as bad. Used to be about 2 week job but because didn't do 10 hour days. First time after we got the used bucket truck finished it all in about 3 days total. Amazing difference. Plus it just comes in handy. I have several brothers in law that really like it. Here in SE Tennessee we should really just paint everything green to begin with and get it over with. Mold and mildew and algae love our shady sides. Throw in some trees and if all the green stuff was worth anything we would all be billionaires. That and kudzu. Perhaps if we could just make it illegal to SMOKE kudzu cause it would immediately go to bout $200 a pound with folks thinkin it must give ya a great buzz. Heck, it mite even do that but mainly the kudzu would all be gone in a few weeks and we could all retire. Well, we're already retired but would be retired with money....
Sorry, PTSD and me. Writing on air just to be doin.
The point here is i wasted lots and lots of hours with a dang pressure washer and creating a world of hurt for my much injured back and legs....over 45 years fighting evil doers in several countries. Wife resisted the bucket truck idea for years but now a big fan.
SO, while most folks don't need a bucket truck at least consider renting one of those lift platforms. You can tow em home and pick em up on Friday evening so you can keep it all weekend. Plan your projects and maybe even go in with a relative or neighbor to split the use and the cost. Be amazed at out much you can get done in a short time plus doin it all a lot safer.

@@manlymoments8544 Thanks for takin the time to read and reply. Means a lot. Majority of my comments are overly long, can't help it. I know it's useless mostly and even I get tired of em. I don't talk to family and any friends I mite have had weren't or have died. However, I can talk to total strangers for hours. Yep, I'm crazy.
Haven't worked a safe job since I started workin in 1974. Dead twice, 36 surgeries, bout 40 breaks and fractures and 5 cancers. Recovering now from recent kidney cancer surgery and wicked back surgery. No complaints. In fact if I can get back in shape, gettin harder and harder, I'm still a military contractor in several countries. Be 70 towards the end of this month, May, 2024. If I can make it. My life's been like a cheap action movie. One NDE, near death experience, involved a hit man. No joke. I'm no secret squirrel but had a crooked sheriff I had worked for that hated me because I wudnt get dirty or beat up handcuffed prisoners and knew where a few bodies were. He had nothing to fear because I TRIED to get him arrested but at the time the 4 layers above him were also dirty. Nobody cared. He made a deal with an indicted, but not arrested, hit man. Kill me and get a runnin start. Hit man is still dead. Cost me a shattered pelvis and breaks and fractures from head to toes. Months in a hospital where they just waited for me to die. Then 2 years learning to walk. Small price to pay.
Aw man, I'm doin it again. I apologize.
Everybody has a story and wish I could make a way for for folks to share em. Of course you would have to sort thru the BS. Don't know if that's possible. We owned a small car trader magazine for 31 years until wife had to put it on hold. Hopefully I can get it up and running on the 'Tube. You can click on channel name to see a few vids or pics. Or search the channel name to see sample of the magazine. Or search "Accelerator Girls". Our G rated cover girls.

Goin to buy some vinyl siding cleaner TODAY. Been dreading that pressure washer route and with the back surgery delay the black and green have gotten away from me.
I clean algae off of my travel trailer with a garden sprayer and vinegar. A little brushing and done.
I love how this guy finally has his recommendations-miracle
I followed your instructions last year or 5 months ago. Works great and thank you for the tips! Galveston Island, Texas
Nice work, Rita!
I tried this method today using Mold Armor E-Z house wash as recommended. Works like magic 🙂
Thanks a lot for tips the tutorial
Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of this product. I've always gotten good results using pressure washer and Purple Power but maybe this will give me longer lasting results. Currently I need to reclean every 2 or 3 years.
Appreciate the video and many comments here with folks that also liked this product. I did try this product as directed but not much luck. Most of the algae was still on my siding. Off to the depot to see what else I can do
Thank you so much ! Great video going to try this weekend
I like your video. Good tips and straight to the point.
Thanks for removing clean tip...will apply it for my balcony!
I totally agree, this product is amazing. I used it on my house 4 years ago and it kept the mold away for quite sometime. Just used it again this summer but the mold was barely even present after 4 years. Hands down this is the best stuff for your money and makes you work smarter not harder.
I used it 2 years ago and I still don't have any mold on my house
Didn’t work for me
@@barbaragalliera9846 try again stuff works great
Thank you sir! Love your enthusiasm and kindness!
Charlies’s Soap is number 1 with me!!!!
Your video showed up at the perfect time...I have mold on the front of my house where the sun doesn't shine. I was wondering what to do because I didn't know exactly. Now I do and I thank you so much for your VIDEO. Wish me luck LOLOL and God's blessings to you. P. S. obviously I am a female and a senior as well sooo I will enjoy the WO MAN work here LOLOL.
Hey, I tried this product on my house after watching your video and it worked like a charm. I have before and after photos. Thank you so much for this video.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent advice. Thank you.
Very Cool Robbie!
Thanks bud good kind hearted advice I appreciate
Great video! Can't wait to get some of this stuff. . . . . . .
Nice job, and thx 4 the knowledge. Major kudos to u.
I’ve used this, awesome, easy , and works great 👍
Why make life harder than it has to be, right?
I appreciate you posting this video Sir. I just recently bought a house and as a young home owner I’m learning a lot about taking care of a home. I used this product on my Brick and Vinyl walls and it worked great. Take care Sir
Best of success with your new home!
Great advice thank you for the great video going to try this for sure instead of the normal power washer way 👍🙂
Best of success to you! Thanks for the positive comment!
Thanks for this…. Works like a charm 👍
This stuff works wonders...great video
Thanks for commenting. So glad it worked for you!
Thank you, I was looking for a video on how to use this product. your video really helped.
Uses Mold Armor on my house this past summer. Works great. It took two applications on the whole sections of the house and a third on a couple of really bad spots. But, my house looks like it has a new paint job. Would highly recommend.
Thanks for sharing, Larry!
Thank you so much! That's my job for this weekend! Thanks again!
Give "30 Seconds" Cleaner a try.
Cheaper. I would say Better. Since I haven't found anything better or cheaper in 30 some years. And it has a hundred uses.
Here's a New fan...
ruclips.net/video/qBB3y9Ej2HE/видео.html
...pretty cool right 🤣...
Good luck!
Love this stuff! Works great. Make your own too. Thank you very much!
Here's a lot cheaper way to do it. Just go to the dollar store and buy some vinegar. There are no harmful chemicals needed. Just Mix 70 percent water and 30 percent white vinegar together to make a good all-purpose cleaner that's easy on vinyl. The vinegar can cut through virtually any stain or mark - even mold and mildew.
I bought a bottle of this after I watched your video for the back of my tool shed. Because the shed is close to the property line and the neighbor has a stockade I only have a foot and near impossible to get in there properly even with a power washer. The algae was pretty gross and I've never been able to get all of it off. After doing this twice (first time didn't quite get it all off) and waiting the allotted 10 minutes before rinsing I couldn't believe that the algae is now gone. So much easier to use and this will be great on all the vinyl around my house where the algae grows. Thanks for the fantastic tip.
Awesome! So glad it worked for you. Thanks for sharing!
Watched your video...went to HD and bought the Mold Armor....applied it like you said, rinsed it off......Bing, Bang, Boom......no more green mold on the shady side of my house, and it took all of twenty minutes to do.....Thank You
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Easy peasy and straight to the point. Thank you kind sir. 😇🙏👏🙌🌞
Glad to serve you.
This stuff worked great!!! On a side note: I sprayed down my white tile/white grout shower with this stuff and it works there too!!!
Great job! So glad you found this helpful.
If I lived next door, you spray yours, then mine, easy. Nice video..Thanks
:)
Thanks for this vid and the product name.
Thanks, great video.
thanks man . i am doing right away
I cleaned my siding with bleach and dawn soap 🧼 worked pretty good
Super clean and a hose. Done
Way to go!
I used Turtle Wax car wash soap and car wash brush with long handle that attaches to water hose, worked just like washing a very large car.
Yeti product works really good I've tried it myself
Very nice very great looks your house 🏠 my friend
Thanks, Karamjit!
I've been pressure washing commercial and residential for 30 years. Aside from the expensive specific chemicals that are quite expensive, Simple Green seems to tackle a variety of projects, maintenance, and more. Haven't had damage done to foliages yet but I do a big presoak of my area of task. Also, important to keep windows wet during the task on home washing to prevent spots, or even etching from harsh chemicals. Try to work around the sun or shade areas to ease the rush of drying on surfaces. Just my opinion on what works pretty good on just about anything and quite easy on the budget too! Remember, a good though job done requires a little elbow grease. Have fun with the projects.
Great info. Thanks for sharing, Chuck. What do you recommend for wooden fences?
@@manlymoments8544 That depends on what you're tackling? Moss, mildew, greyish weathered look etc? Now remember, I have access to the pressure washer options so I'm referring to my approach. Straight pressure washer to cedar, pressure treated wood surfaces. If painted, same approach BUT, keep distance from surfaces and gradually getting closer to find the right method. Soak, soak, soak. Letting surfaces really soak with water, cleaners etc, allows time to break down dirt, grime and makes it easier clean. Just FYI for people who don't have access to Pressure washers due to money, mobility, use time. I seen & used a electric pressure washer doing a deck from Harbor freight that was 1400 or so psi I believe. Was quite impressed with it and the 79.00 price tag!!! Perfect for home owner type things around the house. No gas & oil to worry about & loud noises all day. Lol
I myself use a unit that is 4000psi @11.5 gallons per minute Whit an adjustable psi wand. So speaking in relation to homeowners, it's up to you what you choose. If you buy a gas powered unit from the big box stores, don't short yourself and get a 1800 or 2400 psi thinking your getting a good deal for less. Get a 3000 psi for a few bucks more and you'll likely be able to tackle the task at hand. Sorry for the long reply, just my opinion that hopefully helps do it yourselfers enjoy they're projects.
This is good to know thanks
Great information, thanks for sharing!
My issue is that our vinyl siding is up high and I have to get up on a ladder
same here. i have to get back out there and do some more.....but dreading it. it is 2 story and high/north side is bear
THIS IS THE BEST !!! YOU MUST TRY IT. IT WORKS AND WILL KEEP YOUR HOME CLEANER, LONGER. I DO THIS ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR, AND THAT'S IT. MY HOME HAS WHITE SIDING AND WILL SHOW ANY GREEN STUFF. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY TO GET SOMETHING THAT WORKS FAST. IT COMES IN A REFILL SIZE , SO DON'T THROW THE 32oz. SIZE AWAY SO YOU CAN REFILL AND SAVE $$$$. I GOT IT AT HOME DEPOT. THANKS FOR THE VID.
I was skeptical but I tried this stuff and it’s amazing. Same results as pressure washing but way easier. Followed the directions on the bottle. It said spray it on, wait, rinse off. Spray, wait and rinse again.
Way to go!
30 second outdoor cleanernis the bomb!
That's what I'm finding out with my fence. Watch for the upcoming video!
Hello from Italy! I followed your advice and went great. We do not have that product that you recommend, but I bought one with the same active ingredients, based on bleach. It had an attachment like yours to embed into the hose. Thank you!
Awesome! Great job, Martin. So glad I can help from so far away!
You done good sir !! :)
I just use the laundry detergent that has baking soda in it, It works good and fast and last for years. It doesnt take much of the detergent. But I like using things with less chemicals.
Thanks, I was going to buy a power washer!!
The people that didn't like this video are most likely people living in a apartment complex that don't have a house to tend to and enjoy home improvement videos such as this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎯
so true!
M Piper ....or people who know that bleach mixed with Dawn dish soap, sprayed onto their house will do the same thing for a lot less.
tanks you, for the advice
Thank you!
Watched this video, ran out and got a bottle at Lowes, sprayed it on, and in about 10-15 mins it was almost all gone,at least 90 percent of it, WAY easier than hand scrubbing!.. Thanks!
Awesome. Why make life harder than it has to be? Way to go!
Be careful...I purchased product at Lowe's and it does not have the adjustable spray pattern head.
Called manufacturer and said "adjustable spray pattern head out of stock" so the shipped product with single stream non-adjust head.
You will get streaking on your house.
Yet bottle still advertised with adjustable patterns.
Very disappointing.
@@fire4298 Thanks for the heads up!
I bought two bottles at Lowes just in case and used one. I did just what you said to do and now my siding looks like new after 10 minutes of work.
@@KarlB737 Nice. Thanks for the positive feedback!
I'm retired now but I owned a painting and dry wall company. It was standard policy to pressure wash Evey exterior repaint we did. Living in the deep south mold and mildew are everywhere. Bleach is in every type of house cleaner on the market, it won't work otherwise. I always used 1 gallon of outdoor bleach and a half gallon of Krud Kutter which is excellent at removing dirt grime and pollutants.
I love the name Krud Kutter.
Great video thanks 👍
Thanks, Mark!
I agree. I used this and it worked. Plus ‘‘tis guy cracks me up 😂
Thanks for the positive comment!
after power washing and scrubbing my vinyl siding for the past few years, I discovered this product. It works fantastic. No climbing ladders as the spray reached the second level peak of my house. Use as directed in this video. Suggestion. Us the product on a cloudy day. If you use it on a bright sunny day, it evaporates a bit quickly. You want it to sit on the siding for 10 minutes doing it job of killing the mold. I use it on my siding every spring. For a few bucks, it keeps the mold at bay and my house is the cleanest one in the neighborhood. My siding looks brand new and clean.
Great suggestion. Thanks!
I've used the Works toilet cleaner on orange hard water stains from sprinklers. I use it water down in a pump sprayer because it's to strong full strength. It's cheaper and no scrubbing it work's great on hard water stains on driveways siding pretty much anything on a house. Hopefully someone will find it helpful, it's a common problem in Florida from hard water stain.
I'm about to do it to my dad house now i be back to let y'all know how it work thank for the tip sir
blaze jones Great! I hope it turns out well!
Jomax is a very good product. Mix as directed in a garden sprayer. It works great.
Thanks for the tip!
He's right. That WAS manly
Thanks for sharing👍
You're welcome, Shoua!
I did something similar with a pressure pump type canister sprayer (used for spraying insecticides and other solutions on plants), but with pure cleaning strength bleach. Spray pure bleach on whatever, wait and then hose off. If it’s a mildew driveway, you may have to use a deck brush before rinsing, but it’s not too much work. The bleach just needs help breaking up the thick mildew.
Great suggestion. Thanks for sharing!
👍 I will try it.
Good video
After 6 years (new house) I noticed my north side getting green. I cranked up the water heater to maximum and used a regular 5/8 inch hose with spray nozzle. Watered the entire side with hot water and waited a few minutes. Then got up close (8 feet) and sprayed the heck out of it. The water was steaming and so hot I needed gloves to prevent scorching my hands. I think about 80% or so came off so I will use some type of cleaning agent and go over it again. Then I reset the water heater to normal.
The algae is already baking in the sun so I doubt hot water will do anything but dislodge some of it. It's been 3 years did it come back?
I think i try this my.house needs it thanks alot.
Good luck, Esmeralda!
I use 30 second outdoor cleaner. Same principle where you spray it on with a garden sprayer, wait a few minutes, then hose it off.

Thank you! Our house is due for a cleaning and I appreciate the timely advise.
You're welcome! Hope your house sparkles when you're done!
Just use clorox and water in a sprayer; it's the clorox that kills the mold and mildew.
Actually,..
I would suggest "30 Seconds" Cleaner. It's cheaper per application. Has a hundred uses. And the Surfactant in it makes it outperform regular bleach products. I swear by it. And 30 years of friends and neighbors now Do To 🤣
And here's a New Fan.

@@My-Pal-Hal I just bought some yesterday for my wooden fence. Watch for another video on my results!
Hey thanks! I think I can have a girly moment doing this! 😉
:)
Thanks for sharing this tip as this is my next outside chore, I will give this stuff a try. I wonder if 1 bottle is enough?
This video took 1 bottle to shoot, which was basically the side of my house. Fortunately there was no algae on the rest of the house. So I guess it depends on how much algae you've got to get rid of. Good luck!
Thank you
I live in Southwest Louisiana, we don't have this problem. Yeah right!
I've got the answer I needed. Since I'm disabled, it'll definitely help me out.
Go away, now. LOL
Best of success to you!
All you need is Bataclean moss and algae cleaner spray it on and leave it it works for 18 months. I did my house with it and it works.
18 months! That's pretty amazing! Nicely done!
You may to scrub a little, but overall very good product. I used it yesterday.
I have used oxy clean in a power washer-works great, and will not kill your lawn or flowers.
Did u use a liquid or powder OxiClean ??
Did u use full strength or mix with water ??
Honestly...i use a bucket with warm water & Dawn dish detergent. Rinse the siding or fence ,shrubs surrounding everything ...
I use a long handle that extends for painting with a soft brush that screws on the end, and just scrub gently on the siding and vynal fence etc your cleaning , it comes right off and rinse with your hose.
Dawn is biodegradable and doesn't hurt your plants , and just rinse down your work area well and your done .
I do my ranch house , about 1500sq ft..and fence surround and garage in about 3 hours .
Due to the mowing around here 9 months a year this is done every year in September or October.
Thank you...♡
I’ve used this product as well as the 30 second stuff. For me I soft wash my 2 story house 2 times a year here on the Alabama gulf coast with straight bleach in the old 30 second bottle. Works perfect and cheaper.
I just tried the 30 second bottle and their product so straight bleach in their spray works just as good?
@@stevenlaubach7222 absolutely 💯
All you really need is ordinary bleach and a sprayer. Mix 50:50 with HOT water and spray the siding with this solution. Be careful not to spray yourself (wear goggles) and wear old clothing as it will bleach YOU as well as the house. After dousing the house with the hot bleach wait for 30 minutes for the bleach to kill the mildew then take your garden hose and a long handle brush and scrub it and then hose it off. My house had a lot of green mildew on the north side so I had to do it twice on the problem areas. But it all came off very nicely. And it's cheap! You can buy an entire gallon of bleach for just a few bucks. Try this before investing in an expensive power washer. You might be surprised how effective it is. This works well on white vinyl lawn chairs too! Bleach and HOT water with scrubbing!
You just added HOT water and SCRUBBING to the process. How is that easier?
I bought Wet and Forget, washed down the house with some dish soap and water rinsed and used Wet and Forget . 3 years later still looks like new. Thats on the north side of the house. The vinyl siding shine like new
Awesome! Way to go!

I bought some algae killer for a swimming pool. Made a strong solution in a hand pump sprayer. Sprayed the house. Next day house sparkled. That was three yrs ago. Not a trace since.
That's amazing!
Algae killer is high priced chlorine. Just use bleach which is cheaper chlorine.
dpeagles probably true. I appreciate the comment. But it didn't cost me too much, and my logic said it's algae so I got algae killer. Best part was next day it was so clean I didn't have to hose it or scrub it. Still algae free. Mobile home under redwoods. Lots of moisture in the air not much sun gets to the backside.
Why do I feel like running?? Great video. Thankyou! Thumbs up!

This Texas gramma uses outdoor bleach from Lowe’s, h depot. Bit stronger than household bleach but both work. I use a sprayer that shoots solution up to 20ft for trees. I hv 2story, fill cup with full strength bleach an hook to hose and I’m off. I’m done in no time. Shrubs uneffected. But if concerned just water them after wards.
I love it!
