Ball valve to rinse always seems to be the best option due to the noise that it makes while being choked down, however we have found that a 25° or 40° tip with an oversized orifice (2520 4gpm and 2540 8gpm is what we now use to rinse, water sweep, etc, most definitely on close up stucco). Ball valve takes too long and doesn't rinse as even. Yes I know the video is about soft wash application on stucco, just throwing a little suggestive comment to the ones that are rinsing with ball valves. Good video though. KtPowerWashing
I know Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Amos Mitchell i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I miss seeing the softwash setup that had a small plastic tub with bungee cords to keep water off the battery charger. LOL... I've enjoyed watching you develop and improve your business. You've come a long way in a short time.
Thanks great video ! Im in the process of cleaning my wall at a house I just bought. Does anyone know the name of the large pink flower bush that could be seen throught out the video but noticable in the first 2 minutes. i would appreciate it .
What would be the best mix per gallon for cleaning stucco walls at home without having to brush the wall or use a professional sprayer? I have black streaks on my new stucco. Only brushing gets them off. What are ingredients in this wall spray? Thank you!
@@denisk2414 thank you! What type of soap and ratio of water, bleach and soap? Btw my stucco is a special type that repels water. It takes forever to get it wet.
I see a lot of folks saying a 1:1 mix of water and bleach can be used with dawn mixed in. As long as you thoroughly rinse, is a 1:1 bleach:water mix too strong?
I notice your blend valve is turned upside down. I suppose the pump is lower in the system. Does this make a big difference? What about sides ways? Thanks for your informative channel.
Use a 2025 tip to rinse with 1000 psi it’s faster coverage and won’t hit as hard possibly damaging a delicate piece. This is Sean from Powerclean in California bought the proportioner from you a couple years back
I was going to buy a little ranger work truck for the skid. Do you think that would hold AlumiMax Mini Pro. Also does the mini pro have water fed tanks? If not can I add that?
I find these videos so amusing, I am 60 years old and we have been applying bleach (sodium hypochlorite) to all surfaces to clean them for years. These videos make me laugh because they really think they are teaching you something new. All these high tech trucks with all the pumps and hoses can be achieved with a simple pump sprayer. Mix up 50/50 bleach to water with 1 ounce soap per gallon and spray it on. It will do the same thing. You want to make it go faster, add an electric pump to apply the mixture. If you can't figure out how to spray this mixture to any surface with out someone instructing you, you have no business playing around with harmful chemicals. Saturate all grass and plants with water and spray the mixture, I guarantee great results without spending thousands of dollars. Just one farmers opinion.
My folks cleaned up our house like that growing up and when i started it was with a pump sprayer and water hose lol. I have a similar set up and when your able to shoot a stream of chems to a second story without a ladder and then switch your tips to rinse you appreciate the extra $ spent believe me.
Nobody thinks they're teaching YOU anything old man, but for a lot of folks, it is new information. You could have bottled up your knowledge and made a million bucks making a youtube video :)
Well young man, EZ waterblasting since you commented it would be a safe bet you learned something from the old man. I owned a pressure washing business in the 80's washing tractor trailers. And at times houses, tennis courts etc. It was my machines and water tanks on my trucks that got peoples attention. One machine was a steam cleaner. Oh how the people reacted when I fired it up. Rarely did I have it hot enough to really make a difference and I Rarely used chemicals. The different tips made the job easier. A friend owned a window wash business and when he saw the money I made he began washing houses. He used the same equipment he had to wash windows. A ladder, hose, squeegee and a few chemicals. He could charge less since he had no machines to pay for. His work was no different than mine. A clean house both ways. I agree with the old man as I now am an old man. If you noticed when he was just applying the chemicals the black streaks began to turn white. Just that slight pressure removed the stain. I just returned from Louisiana where my brother in law house is and all the storms stained his brick, siding and concrete. Dark black and gutters were stained. I cleaned his entire house using just his pressure washer with no chemicals! Yes sometimes chemicals are needed. But wash it first and then if needed apply the chemicals . You will save a lot of chemicals if done after pressure washing. Same principle to washing a car. Hose it off prior to washing the car.
Being that the video is called “How to clean stucco”… It seems like it is intended to teach us (those that don’t know how to do it) something new. I don’t think it’s really intended for those that have 60 plus years of experience. Seems like you’re bashing the guy for trying to teach people while others appreciate his time and effort for creating his content.
I have a job coming up in a couple of days that it stucco, I only have a 3.5 gpm 4000psi pressure washer. Would down streaming work or should I use my X-jet wide open?
@@southeastsoftwash4020 ok, thank you. Also, does the high pressure ball valve you guys offer come completely assembled? I want to get one because I think it would do better for washing down after the surface cleaner then putting my j rod back in.
Good morning can you tell me what products i have to use to clean my stulo house is color white but with the rain it have stains and i want to wash it by my self and is high can you tell me what to used pleased
when you say you may need to retreat the wall again, is that another spray with the SH then off with the ball valve again, or just leave the SH on the wall?
Out here in the southwest desert. Why is nobody talking about total dissolved solids in water? Out here average ranges 300-600 TDS. Would be nice to get some more information based on what is a good TDS range for house washing. For now I just use my water fed pole and rinse windows really well.
Down where I live in the southwest we don’t have any algae or moss growing on houses. Do I still have to use SH to do house / driveway and roof washes? Also all we have here is every building and house is stucco. We don’t really have any houses with vinyl or with wood. Could I just use some southern drawl and water? Thank you!
Hey can anyone help? Im useing northstar softwash system plan to only make 10 gal batches heres my question Is 1 gal bleach to 9 gallons of water a 1% mix? I have a soft wash system batch mixing only 10 gallons total so i figure each gallon of bleach is 1% ex.. If i mix 3 gal of bleach with 7 gal of water that is 3% mix right?? I'm useing pool essentials 10% bleach not 12.5
Hey Coty thanks for the video. General question here and I do run a ball valve but why do you choose the ball valve for rinsing vs say the rinse fan tip on a j rod here? Thanks man
What do you do about the windows when washing a house? Do you clean them and dry them, or does it leave a spotless finish? Thanks for info, i appreciate some help!
Hi Coty. Is there a reason you didnt apply another coat? I didnt expect that you would have had to apply so much pressure. Btw your videos are awesome. I've learned a ton from you. Thank you
This video was brought to you by MANSCAPED...... well mine was anyway lol The season is just starting up here in the tundra. Do you guys offer smaller setups or just skid builds? I have an enclosed trailer.
I did a 5,000 sq/ft stucco house a fresh weeks ago and most everything up high came off with soft washing but there were some dark brown spots on lower sides of the house that I had to use pressure to clean seemed like the sh would not clean it completely! Have u ever had that issue?
Love your stuff Coty! Just out of curiosity, how do you guys reach the higher level stuff like the top of that house wall? Does the 12v pump throw up that high or do you use a boom lift?
Can anyone help me whats deal with stucco almost all houses in my area are stucco ive cleaned a few but terrified on every job of it removing the paint had 1 house small spot remove paint already can you wash most stucco with 3-4% without problems most time
I know organic paint but is that all to be careful what about garage doors all that terrified to just start spraying whole house even if do test spot I do small sections but takes to much time
Nope. 2 man crew, 4 hours. Done Go look at a video we posted in January. 12k job in 1 day Did a 9k water tower before in 1 day. It’s doable when you’ve been doing it 20 years

Good to see you out of the shop and back in the field.

So satisfying, I got goosebumps!
That’s a purty house! I want to move to Roanoke!
It’s about to be for sale
Thank you for your videos. They are very healthy. I did the same thing and mine didn’t come out as good. Is there a way I can show you the results?
Love your how to videos!! Helps so much... thanks
What chemicals are you using
Great work! Thanks for all your valuable content.
What would be the best mix per gallon for cleaning stucco walls at home without having to brush the wall or use a professional sprayer? I have black streaks on my new stucco. Only brushing gets them off. What are ingredients in this wall spray? Thank you!
It's just household bleach, 4÷ sodium hypochlorite mixed in with some soap
@@denisk2414 thank you! What type of soap and ratio of water, bleach and soap? Btw my stucco is a special type that repels water. It takes forever to get it wet.
Did you see my second question above? Thx
HI, Love your works.
Here i'm wondering why you need SO much pressure for the rinsing since you're using a ''not'' exaclty 5 % mixt ?
I see a lot of folks saying a 1:1 mix of water and bleach can be used with dawn mixed in. As long as you thoroughly rinse, is a 1:1 bleach:water mix too strong?
Hey brother I’m wondering what chemicals are you using for this specific job (stucco)
A fairly strong mix of industrial bleach and a surfactant
@@southeastsoftwash4020 thank you brother
Great results. Tons of stucco here in fl
Very useful, thanks
Excellent content. Thank you
Hi. How do i go about using my 3400 psi for soft washing? Do i use pool bleach straight or mix? Cleaning stucco with black stains
Nice work, we run a pvc wand as well for our 12 V
I notice your blend valve is turned upside down. I suppose the pump is lower in the system.
Does this make a big difference? What about sides ways?
Thanks for your informative channel.
Good info 👍🏼What do you think would work on brick with lime scale?
Do you run surfactant when you spray?
Use a 2025 tip to rinse with 1000 psi it’s faster coverage and won’t hit as hard possibly damaging a delicate piece. This is Sean from Powerclean in California bought the proportioner from you a couple years back
what nozzle you use with your ball valve?
I was going to buy a little ranger work truck for the skid. Do you think that would hold AlumiMax Mini Pro. Also does the mini pro have water fed tanks? If not can I add that?
How many psi would I need to have min to use the DN 10 ball valve
Dumb question… how do you know you’re at 1-6% on the soap/bleach? I get all the way open is 100% on the water, but do the other valves have a marker?
Great video bro
On a soft wash system is there a difference in a 3/8 reel than 1/2 if you are yousing 200 feet of 1/2 inch hose

Why are you so salty?
Will that same skid fit on a standard bed? Like a 1500 silverado
How are you rinsing the very top. Do you get enough volume from the ball valve.
I have a job coming up in a couple of days that it stucco, I only have a 3.5 gpm 4000psi pressure washer. Would down streaming work or should I use my X-jet wide open?
X jet will get you a stronger mix

www.southeastsoftwash.com/product/southern-drawl-surfactant-case-of-4/
@@southeastsoftwash4020 Thanks, so this product is there to help the bleach ( I plan on using liquid pool chlorine) to stick to the surface ?
when you say you may need to retreat the wall again, is that another spray with the SH then off with the ball valve again, or just leave the SH on the wall?
Just a final SH
Out here in the southwest desert. Why is nobody talking about total dissolved solids in water? Out here average ranges 300-600 TDS. Would be nice to get some more information based on what is a good TDS range for house washing. For now I just use my water fed pole and rinse windows really well.
Because TDS plays no role except for cleaning windows? Why do you need a low TDS for a housewash?
What hose are you running on your soft wash set up?
What is that blue softwash tip called and where can I purchase it.
U still got it!!😂 it looks like a new wall🤘🏾
Down where I live in the southwest we don’t have any algae or moss growing on houses. Do I still have to use SH to do house / driveway and roof washes? Also all we have here is every building and house is stucco. We don’t really have any houses with vinyl or with wood. Could I just use some southern drawl and water? Thank you!
Southern Draw doesn't clean anything. It just helps the SH stick to the surface.
We have predominantly stucco homes in New Zealand. I do alot of them..
What’s the secret with a down stream system? I need help learning how to mix the batches
I know i'm 2 years late but I'm in nz too ,what percent sh do you use for stucco and what percent do you use for weatherboard? cheers

How much do you water the ground? Is it as much as a house wash?
Great learning thanks lot for sharing.
Hey Coty thanks for the video. General question here and I do run a ball valve but why do you choose the ball valve for rinsing vs say the rinse fan tip on a j rod here? Thanks man
I’m just a huge fan of the ball valve. Both would work fine
Just landed a very nasty stucco wall two stories tall! im hoping i can downstream straight from my 12.5 jug and it'll be enough.
Was the nozzle on your softwasher just a basic turbo nozzle? Can you reply with a link when you get a second? Nice video thanks
Can you make a video on how much water we need per house or job?
what soap do you mix in with bleach?
What do you do about the windows when washing a house? Do you clean them and dry them, or does it leave a spotless finish? Thanks for info, i appreciate some help!
You have to rinse like your life depends on it, if you get it all off it will leave them spotless
Approximately how many Gallons of SH did you use to complete this job?
What 12 diaphragm pump are you running on your truck?
Great video!
What does the ball valve do?
Hi Coty. Is there a reason you didnt apply another coat? I didnt expect that you would have had to apply so much pressure. Btw your videos are awesome. I've learned a ton from you. Thank you

It was most likely rust…maybe a hotter mix & more pressure or pre treat with a rust chemical
does anyone know what kind of rose plant is behind the wall?
What’s the water pressure level you use on stucco?
3200 psi.
Love your stuff Coty! Just out of curiosity, how do you guys reach the higher level stuff like the top of that house wall? Does the 12v pump throw up that high or do you use a boom lift?
I hit all but the last 3’ of that wall from the ground. We used A frame ladder to get the last bit
@@southeastsoftwash4020 Cheers Coty, appreciate it. Learn so much from your videos. Good work, from Ireland!
What’s your wand set up.
Or the tip rather just a typical adjustable?
@@samzeilman3301 adjustable tip from Home Depot
what's a 1% ,2% how much water and how much sh
$750 for a housewash!? Hell yea

Sad. You must be south east near the beach?
can you shrink this down to 20 seconds, thx
