I'm retired now 2 years. I have been power washing house and other things for 3 years. Anyway the older I get makes the ladder time harder and harder. I must say I like your point blank and bluntness. Not only do I like that I like the idea of you telling me how I can do this side line on a scale that I can work with.
My set up is a Simmons power washer and a little red garden wagon with all my tips and hoses plus the cems that I use. Its a small set up but works nicely with my handy man service that I have. Easy to off load and on load for the next job. (On and off my trailer) thanks again for your video
I like this guy, he doesn't pretend to know it all, but for sure knows his stuff.
I bet this guy appreciates you!!
Dan, I like your channel because you tell it like it is. I’ve been watching a lot of RUclips power washing channels most of them are just trying to sell you something. Kudos to you sir.
I appreciate that
I have been brainstorming. Starting a yard care service with pressure washing on the menu.. nice videos
I have Mold & mildew on 20 year kinda faded old guttering. You think what you did with this houses gutters and set up could clean up these gutters?
Thanks! Awesome video's Mr. Dan
I've tried Mold Armor. Chomps cleaner and others. At witts end man. lol
I've been watching your vlog about pressure washing your house. I noticed you use it on vinyl houses. We have a log siding house and need to know if wood can be pressure washed the same way.
Great video. How do you get the chemical flowing through the pressure system. From my understanding you connect the pump to the customers Spicket on the in Port of the pump and then have the second hose on the out port to the sprayer. Where in the flow Do you get the chemicals from? Does it have something to do with the siphon you mention and if so, how does that work. This is probably an obvious question but I have zero experience. Thanks
good video's, I'm learning a lot. What do you use to remove oxidation on steel siding? Thanks.
Did my 1st house wash Saturday. It turned out great.
Congratulations Brian! Well done!!
I like your simple set up.Very nice indeed. 1 hour to do it all ! Sorry we slowed you down but you make me want to start this business .
Go for it!
now every time I drive I look at houses and see how dirty they are and I have seen a ton in my area and no company's out there doing it. I'm starting in 2017 I should do good where I am.
Sweet. Go for it
How has it gone ?
Great vid! Siphoning in the soap… do u need a special pump connection for that?
hello, quick question. Is it safe to use bleach on painted house, what if the sides are not white, does the bleach damage the paint??
Marinald Haxhillari good question!
Marinald Haxhillari nope. you can use SH on just about any exterior surface
Marinald Haxhillari I use bleach the way I dilute it on just about everything. paint and vinyl
Bleach isn't a solvent, so it's o.k. to use on painted surfaces.
Marinald Haxhillari bleach does not hurt paint or any other surfaces basically just kill the mold
Hey man. I love your videos. Getting me pumped for this spring season here in Nashville TN. As a former pest control application I may advise when doing your pre walk to also take not of bird feeders or baths and remove/cover them so no overspray will get in them. Your the man! Keep up the good content bud!
Thank You Randal
Dan's Vlog also I love at how you respond! Thanks bud! #WashOn
Hey bud great work! Question, I know you said you put aBout 3 gallons of 8.25 bleach in the bucket so your not mixing the water and bleach together. How do you know how much bleach and water is being mix when siphoned? Thx bud!
My injector at the pump is a 20:1 but I don’t honestly care about ratios. The name of the game is save save save. Apply the chemicals as thin as possible and add only if needed til you find a recipe that works. For me and my pump and my technique, I run from 10% down to 7% straight with no diluting and I let my siphon do the mixing (20:1). If the house is not bad, I might run 2 gls 10% and 1 gl water in a bucket and then downstream it.
16:30 _Wow thanks Dan i've never thought about pvc pipe to hold down the siphon lol. I've went to the tacky extreme and gorilla taped mine down once also used fishing weights 😂😂_
Based on my 50/50 test with household bleach on concrete, it's going to discolor any areas affected by the run off on the concrete back/front porch and driveway yes? In that case do you use that as a selling point to pressure washing the concrete or is it considered collateral damage if they choose not to?
Hi Dan, this is the first time I have come across your page. I’ve yet to get through the whole video which I’m going to continue in just a minute but my very first thought is how I love your set up. Very simple and very doable for me based on what I currently have. Nothing over the top yet very functional. What state are you located in? I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Do you think a 3% mix with 10% SH wouldn’t damage window’s and plant’s? And what percentage of SH are you using? Please. Your video’s are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you much 💪🏼🙏
What is a 3% mix? You watching other idiots giving dumb info about “percentage at the tip”? Do exactly what I say I have been doing for years.
Hey Dan thank you so much for all your insight and wisdom. I have a question hopefully you can help. I’m going to wash my house and I’m using a 4000 psi 3.5 gpm machine. If I down stream 5 gallons of 10% sh with a pink tip at a 15/1 flow rate, is that too hot a mix? Again thank you!!
Sorry applying with the black tip
Hey Dan, what tips did you use to “Rinse” the whole house?
Dan great video, I like your mindset no b/s straight up do the jobs, get done and collect your money. Do you ever need to use hot water for pressure washing.
Last question, does 2.7 gpm just mean I have to get closer to the surface in order to have the same effect as a 4 gpm? Or does gpm just limit how far the water can travel (not the strength)
OK let me try to explain this to you in a way that hopefully won’t confuse you. Gallons per minute and pressure are two very different things. The lower the pressure the closer you might have to stand to clean something off like old gum on a concrete sidewalk. You would use the pressure to peel off the gum. Gallons per minute has nothing to do with pressure and everything to do with volume. The more volume you’re working with the faster you can clean. Imagine you’re standing at the beach and a 5 foot wave hits you. That’s a certain amount of volume. Now compare that to a 2 foot wave hitting you… A lot less volume. Now as you watch my videos using the black tip and the pink tip… My 4 gallon per minute pump is pushing a certain amount of volume, there is no pressure because the black tip and the pink tip pretty much allow for free flow otherwise the siphon would not work right? Your 2.7 gallons per minute pump will also free flow, but it’s flowing with a lot less volume. I have a 5 foot waves hitting the side of the house while you would have a 2 foot waves hitting the side of the house. Which wave or gallon per minute is going to help you move faster while cleaning? Keep in mind pressure has nothing to do with volume. Now add to that a 2 foot wave is only going to travel so far up the beach where as a 5 foot wave will travel much farther up the beach… Neither wave has any pressure behind it, only volume… The 5 foot wave will hit the second story (peak) where a 2 foot wave will not
Hello dan, I use a high/low nozzle, what that does is change the pressure as the name just from high pressure (water) to low pressure for siphoning. It potential he save a few minutes per job from having to switch nozzles will pull your siphoning rig to start rinsing. Real neat and I think it's worth looking into for you.
+Nathaniel Miller Thank you but it should be said, I don't use high pressure ever. I always use low pressure (black and pink tips only). I just turn off the siphon when I rinse.
Great video I have a question about when you pull your siphon tube and are ready to do the rent do you plug the downstream siphon
I like that set up. No trailer needed just a nice wood pallet and you're set.
Great video's Dan you have saved me $300+ as I will be the one washing my house from now on! Thanks alot!
Awesome
Hey Dan. Quick question How are you not killing the grass or plants. Is it because your down streaming? I have a Softwash marchine so it’s more strength SH I always have a helper watering the hell out of the grass etc but wanted to know if needed. I use like. 1-1.5 mix or up to 2% mix on stucco. Thoughts???? Tku
Hey quick question is the bleach safe for around plants or are there any special concerns with houses and plants. I’m just starting out and your helping a ton
+MrFrenchtoast69 Mix it thin like I suggest and you should be ok. Don’t be afraid to wet the plants well first if they seem delicate
Dan, doing a house near the bay next week. the concrete is really dirty, can i use bleach with a surface cleaner, run a 4 gpm dewalt/honda
No need for bleach, just use the surface cleaner. However, When you’re using the surface cleaner it’s putting back pressure in the hose so it is not going to siphon. The siphon will only suck and bleach and detergent if you’re using the black tip or the pink tip. When people use bleach and chemicals on driveways and sidewalks they first spray it down with the black tip and then they put the surface cleaner on and then they start working
Love your informative attitude
It’s great 👍
Keep it up
Hey Dan. I have watched numerous videos of yours in which I have learned a lot. Thanks btw.
My question is.. is it okay to run SH aka bleach through a battery powered back pack sprayer. I remember you saying you don’t want to run bleach before the pump, as long as it was after the pump you’re fine. Is that the same case with a battery powered back pack sprayer?
The bleach will eat the seals in the pump. I wouldn’t do it
Okay, thanks man! I really appreciate the quick reply! You are the man I only watch your videos for this type of business recommendations. I just purchased THE MONEY MAKER Teande. Is there a battery back pack sprayer you’ve tried out and really liked?
Do you happen to have a video or information on what parts and how to install an AFTER PUMP system on a back pack sprayer? I am kicking off my side gig business cleaning privacy fences, driveways, etc for extra cash.
Thanks, Dan The Man!
36:25 You not worried about bleaching that grill cover?
I like to do the lawn care but also like the pressure washing.The hurricane is all on the news here in my part of Georgia the news guy was on 75 here close to me saying all of the hotels are booked Savanna was under a watch. Actually the news guys was right there next to a building and I work next door to it.BE SAFE Dan. It might a good idea to look at the date on the bleach at Walmart because it might have been there for a while.
\At how old should I NOT buy Walmart bleach ??
Thanks for the video. Used the same formula today. Most of the houses in this neighborhood need washing. People come by and just look at what I’m doing. Their car is clean and waxed but house has all this green algae on it, got their priorities mixed up. They spend $600.00 having someone wash and wax their car but can’t pay me $400.00 to wash their house once a year.Funny.
What a good father u r telling ur ex wife to take the kids to safe my hat is off to u FATHER OF THE Year u r Dan
Hey Can I have a two story house .Front is heavily oxidized.I don't want to climb a ladder is there any way I can do itmyself?
thumbs up DAN! Your videos have really inspired me, and shown me that I can do this. Thank you for your time, and effort.
YOU CAN do this Justin. Get out there and make some $$
awesome video, simple and useful, thanks
Dan"s I"m confused, the pressure washer dilutes 20:1 when is used the hose for soap/bleach, so, what can you tell me about that and the mix of the bleach/dawn. thanls
Hey dan. Thanks for making this post! I love it and your channel! I am having a difficult time getting the algae off of tin gutters and was wondering if you could help any? Thanks!!!
i never could get that distance with a 4GPM machine and I had several different high reach nozzles to include the pink tip.
Do you put any water in the bucket or is it just bleach and soap?
Hey Dan , do you have a video on how to do a bypass on the pressure washer to avoid keep pushing the trigger on the gun?
They come with an unloader valve already
Is that mean my don't need one or?
It should already have one. This should help: ruclips.net/video/65iTsSjutf8/видео.html
love your videos really helping me out. i am thinking about getting into the business after watching your videos.
Did you get into the business?
Dan, so with a 2.4 GPM Craftsman using 10 SH, do I need to dilute still ? For downstream? Thanks Dan 🙏🏽
Bro, you're about to hit 5 million views!!! Salute!! 💪😎
Dan what is the rule when shooting at doors and windows. Reason for the question. Cleaner and water getting inside.
Low pressure at all times but if not low pressure, spray on an angle rather than directly at the seems
I know this is an older vid but I refer back to it as a refresher. I have a question Dan, is it normal for the shingles to bleach out when cleaning dormers? I spray the siding with the bleach and the run off does the discoloring. I don’t want to be the cause of the Roofing to fail. I’m thinking it’s mildew being cleaned off. What do you think?
It is cleaning the shingles but I don't have that issue! Are you using a real strong mix?
The shingles were on the roof of our last home. They were 12 years old so I’m thinking, a to strong mix and old shingles with mold, contributed to the discoloration. I used a pump up sprayer (with wrong ratio of Clorox to water) as an applicator and water hose with a jet nozzle to rinse with. Again, from one of your videos. Worked great.
Hey Dan I have a Dewalt pressure washer I brought from home Depot. How can I add a down stream chemical injector to it after the pump. Also is it ok to use the bleach mixture to clean brick and stone??
+russell Winchester The pressure hose screws into the pump right? If so, that is where the injector would go. Use threaded quick connects
Dan, Thank you for these videos ( how do I send private message) never done this.
I enjoyed this video & learned a lot
Hello Dan, I hope you're doing well. Is there a pressure washer attachment you'd recommend using to clean gutters?
When I clean gutters I do it the old fashioned way... I use a ladder and my hands.
Any recommendations on a QUALITY water hose? I’m buying the 100ft pressure hose you recommended in addition to the 50ft that’s coming with my 4.0gpm champion machine I just ordered.
Any good quality 50 foot hose is fine. Just make sure you stretch it all out so there is no kinks or squished flat spots
Thanks for the videos Dan, they're interesting to watch and I've learned a lot. I have a window cleaning business and have been washing some siding with just brushes and rinsing with a hose, its labour intensive and takes a lot out of a guy. I'm watching you clean a house in a 1/4 of the time or less than it takes me. I have a pressure washer, it's a 3000psi, 3gpm unit, will this work for what you're doing, or do I need a 4gpm unit?
You can make some serious cash soft washing a house and it only takes 1 to 1.5hrs if you know what you're doing. 3000 psi should be sufficient.
Awesome video Dan. Always learn alot from watching them.
Great! Thank you!
If you don't mind me asking, what chemical cleaner would be best to use for hard white water stains on a brick house? Would that be a soft wash or pressure wash situation? Thanks!
+Scott Odom I don’t know. I don’t mess with brick much
On average sir, how long does it take you to wash a house 1 story and 2 story at those type of property values in that community? Love your work man. You're a blessing man.
Less than an hour for almost any size home.
Don't you run it though yours?? I saw your set up on your truck?? I have a 2 story house to do, I have a xjet m5 I brought to do it. Any advice?? I brought the pool essential stuff from Walmart
+Russell Winchester No man. The injector is AFTER the pump
This would be one satisfying job to do. Are you not concerned spraying that bleach mixture around the flowers and birdbath?
Not at all. It is very diluted
Hey dan. Do you find that you charge for the house sides one price, then another price for the roof? Or offer a if they do both roof and sides then it's a flat rate or... Just trying to figure out how to sell it to folks.
Yes. House is one price, driveways and porch another, roof another BUT if combines, I will offer a discount
Great videos! I have a question about the chemicals you use for washing houses and driveways. My question is are you worried about bleach, dish soap, or any other chemicals you use, killing grass, bushes etc.?
Not the way I mix it. Watch my Pressure Wash Business playlist. Lots of questions answered
@@DansVlog will do, thanks
Totally awesome video dan .m8 you no your stuff champ cheers.😆 love watching them. I am about start doing this in australia. What machine would you recommend that would do a good job .thanks dan 😆😆
James Howcroft Honda motor and a General or AR pump is great. Thank you for the compliments.
James Howcroft thanks champ cheers.😆
Thanks...VERY Informative! I'm going to try this out in a few days. One question for you, how long do you let the chemicals sit on the house prior to rinsing?
15-20 minutes
@@DansVlog Thank you!
Thanks for the video, this answered my question.
Great!
how do you stay in business at $79 a house?
Does bleach or other "home armor" solvents ruin or mess up solar screens on homes? Wondering for a customer next week. They are nervous and I am tracking down an answer. Thank you! Because of your videos, I have started my own side hustle in my neighborhood exclusively of 1000 homes, and 1 month in, business is good so far! Thanks for all the great videos! Hope all is going well!
Hey that is great news about starting your business, good luck I wish you the best. To get to your question, I do not know what home armor it so I cannot speak to any other solutions for chemicals but I can confidently say from my experience the recipe that I recommend with the 10.5% or less sodium hypochlorite is not going to damage the solar screens on your customers homes. If it’s very concerning to you, avoid spraying the windows directly and rinse it off as you apply your bleach to each side of the house before moving on to the next side
@@DansVlog Thank you! I have a simple (non commercial) 3.2gpm/3200 psi Simpson set up in addition to my (2yr old) backup Briggs/Stratton at the moment. It is a simple basic residential PW setup. I have since accumulated many needed items... 18ft pole, all tips, foam gun if needed, 50 ft hoses and much needed surface cleaner for driveways. Also, I had a plugged nozzle in the surface cleaner (disc) and called the manufacturer after only having a week, and they honored their 90 day warranty, so basically (with a quick fix) now have 2! My main game is driveways, patios, sidewalk, curbs on weekends as I have a full time 8-5 job. I got 2 kiddos and found out recently, I will be having a 3rd later this year. Time to kick it up a notch!
My HOA just sent out a notice for all residents to get on top of the mold and mildew on the houses or get the letters! (great for me). In biz for one month, and my phone is ringing as I am getting recommendations online (nextdoor). Not much invested in marketing (except magnets and biz cards) I have watched many of your videos and appreciate all your knowledge! I have been to walmart and picked up 6 gallons of the cheap concentrate (pool bleach) you recommend. The home armor is the green jog that is basic proprietary soap and bleach to try out bc I am new at this. Prob a one time buy. Anyway, I have no down stream injector and will have to learn tricks for now about application of "soap" on homes with 2 stories. Over time I will gain confidence and knowledge and get the hang of this in no time! Maybe in a few months I will want to get a truck mounted deal as well. Again, thanks for the reply and the great DIY videos! Hope all is well with you and your kids! Keep the videos coming!
I have the 2 gal pump sprayer at the moment which made applying the bleach and dawn to wooden fencing a breeze! Now I have to master 1 and 2 story homes.
Hi dan glad you're doing well. Much love
Hey Dan... Great videos. I'm thinking about getting into the business and the flat rate model seems a great way to build a business quick. But was wondering what your rates look like for driveway or sidewalk cleaning? Do you flat rate it and or calculate with a different method?
Does the water not get underneath the siding when spray going up trajectory as apposed to coming in on a downward trajectory or on a even straight approach. I was told that water will seep up and into the wall when coming in on a trajectory from below.
Norm inator Not at all. the vinyl is closed except for a few small holes here and there.
Does the bleach mixture damage your pressure washer/corrode your pressure washer system? The bleach does work really well but I've been using a foam Cannon attachment at the end of the wand, because I don't want the bleach to be run through my system however I have to take more steps and fill up the Cannon canister more often. Also I have to use a telescoping wand to reach the high Second Story siding because I have to use a foam Cannon nozzle that attaches to the end of the wand. I can't use a pink tip or another additional tip. So it's just more steps in order to protect my system.
What would you recommend?
Does the bleach mixture running through the pumps really corrode all the seals and mechanism as bad as the manual says. Could I just run 5 gallons of soapy water through the system when I'm done with the Bleach? I'm asking because I don't want to take the $600 risk of ruining my pressure washer.
Carpaintry of God Yes, it’s bad. You need to use a downstream chemical injector
@@DansVlog Thank you, very much for the quick response. I'll definitely look into those.
I link to them in my video descriptions and I have a very large playlist of nothing but pressure wash business videos that will teach you everything you need to know
What do you do if the customer has air conditioners in the window?
The Handsome Hustla Don’t pressure wash the air conditioner
Probably temporarily remove the AC and close the window during the job.
hi Dan I watch your vedios all the time I fallow your blogs and was wondering how do you bid pressure washing jobs like fast food store front and drive throughs
I don't do those types of jobs, yet. Mostly just homes. I would bid by size, condition and customer needs
What if they got a 5,000 square foot house?
Hey Dan, love the vids really appreciate them! Got a quick question for you, how do you clean heavily soiled homes. My parents have been in their house for 20 year never had it cleaned. Seems like the only way is to physically brush the siding with chem applied. The vinyl is painted to it's not just vinyl.
If my recipe and technique won't work for ya, try a soft RV or truck washing brush to help agitate the yuk. Also, try a little more soap in the recipe and a few applications may be needed
what license and what insurance? do you need to wash a house?
Business license in your county and city and general liability insurance.
Is the orange sanitation truck at 30:48 the company you worked for years later? If so, what a coincidence!!! Lol.
No it isn't
where can i get that pink top from? i was gonna buy a xjet? it also shoots chemicals up very high. fyi...good video
Pink tips are sold in amazon, but the ladder saver is a good one that reaches 3 stories high.
ladder saver? ill ck that out. thnx
IF you are serious about this biz please buy the X jet or the Xjet version that you can use for down streaming as it will save you time without changing tips when you do the top and bottoms. The exact name is called M5DS TWIST NOZZLE.
Do you know what 10% sh becomes siphoning out if a 2.5gpm pressure washer? I know you said in a video 10% is your go to but if my washer is 2.5gpm is it still good as your ratio you choose
Yes it is good to use straight. Those little machines have a 20:1 or higher siphoning ratio. Run it straight. You should be fine
@@DansVlog I’m also looking at what size diameter hose I should buy for my Simpson 2.5 gpm pressure washer, I know I can’t go no more then about 50ft length before I loose pressure at the pump but what size diskette would you recommend? There’s 3/4 and 5/8 I believe which of the two is better for me?
Do you make sure not to get the plants around the house I notice some get hit with the chemical
My recipe is safe for plants
Hello Dave may I ask what your insured through and also how you got a lisense?
Hiscox insurance. I obtained my license at the code enforcement office in Chatham County. It’s basically a fee ya pay. Very simple
@@DansVlog thanks so much did you ask for a pressure license or anything in particular? Last question where did you make your signs?😂
what surfaces can I use bleach on? Aluminum siding? should they move their cars out of the driveway?
Hi Dan, how much pressure do you use with the pink tip on vinyl siding?
What tips did you use for the soft wash on that house
Hey Dan love all your videos and have learned a lot but my question is will bleach clean a all brick house
Thank you, brick and concrete needs pressure more than it needs bleach to get all the yuk cleaned outside
Do you pressure wash roofs? Also are your prices too low? I thought a entire house would cost a few hundred
Dan, would a 4 gallons per minute, 2500 psi machine with a surface cleaner be adequate for cleaning an aggregate or concrete driveway?
Yup
Dan is the man.
can you show how you turn on your syphine port on your pressure washer itself? do you turn it to start suction?
Looks like he's using a chemical injector
Hey dan , I have a question hope u can help me out ,to start the pressure wash business what do you think of a 4000 PSI and 4 gallons per minute water pressure my question is is that too much psi to start with hope you can help thank you
+Pro Washing perfect set up!
Wat do u do bout if the customer has plants around the area u are spraying at for exsample in this video i see u spray down torward the bottom of the house by the plants do the chemical effect there plants???
The chemical doesn’t hurt the plants the way I dilute it
what pressure washer do you recommend starting out? thanks! your videos are awesome!
Do everything you can to get a 4gpm pump with a 9hp or better engine. That will get you going very nicely
Dan, what kind of hose reel is that? And how is it holding up? Thanks!
The garden hose reel is what I meant.
What attachment do I need to house wash with a 4/4 pressure washer?
Great video! I learn a lot from these! Did you dilute the bleach any in the 5 gallon bucket? Thanks.
no definetly not with 8.25% sodium hydrochlorite. I don't dilute 10.5% either. I only dilute the 12.5%.
Thank you so much! I am using the same bleach as you and I was diluting it 2 parts bleach and one part water. No wonder I wasn't getting good results. Thanks again!
Dan, so with a 2.4 GPM Craftsman using 10 SH, do I need to dilute still ? For downstream? Thanks Dan 🙏🏽
@@Workfourit Change of life for me, no more mowing, Im full time washing now. Don't dilute 10% run it straight with some elemonator and youll be making $$$
@@MrCutLawnCare your the man I appreciate your feedback and info thanks for taking time to answer. God bless
Can the solution you mixed and strayed effect the color of the roof? Because I noticed you wasn't super careful with it hitting the roof...
It’s too thin to discolor shingles
@@DansVlog
Thanks for the info.. Great vids
How much did you charge to wash that house? Just curious if my prices are too high or low I would probably charge $275 for that house, maybe $325 for the driveway an house. Thanks
It depends on your market. Everyplace is different. You know if your prices are too high if people are not calling you, you know your prices are too low if you’re so busy you can’t keep up. Find a happy medium for your region
When you pull your siphon do you just leave it so suck on air?
And do you think this job will work for me in Southern California???
I would highly appreciate your answers. Thank you 🙏🏽
Yes I just let it suck air and I think it would work fine for you
Dan's Vlog thank you so much Dan, I am so grateful for reply and your work! God bless you and your loved ones. A million Thanks once again
Dan's Vlog one more thing. I’m just concerned about using the SH on homes out here because homes out here have no Vinyl? What do u think boss man?
I use my recipe on painted wood and stucco with no adverse effects.
Dan's Vlog is there a way that u can help me with that recipe ? Thank you
