- Do you REALLY need surfactant?? (Experiment)
My name is Joe. I own a pressure washing business based in Jacksonville, Florida. I started my business in March of 2023. I started my UA-cam channel at the same time to document the process, and help others start a pressure washing business of their own. I offer roof soft washing, house cleaning, driveway pressure washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning. Please consider subscribing to my channel if you want to learn how to start a pressure washing business. Also, don’t forget to ask any questions, and comment all your ideas, and suggestions! Thank you!

I use it for the smell and dwell especially if a customer says something about the SH smell but only like 8 ounces in 10 gallons of house wash mix . And then the roof mix I'll use the elephant snot or cling on .
You don't have to use a lot of surfactant, I use .5 ounces per gallon, the reason for surfactant is that it helps to stick to the siding etc. better and for longer which in turn makes the dwell time a little shorter and also makes sure the windows rinse cleanly if using a good brand surfactant. It also helps make the house smell a little better, I get compliments for the smell alone. Definitely get a swivel for the wand it makes the hose untangle easier. Also you should get rid of the wand and just go with a gun. Get yourself a Davis Shooter Tip and a Davis 2 hole adapter, put the Davis Shooter tip and the M5 Twist on that and you're good to go and can reach anywhere you need to with the gun only. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate that man, great advice! I have went back and forth on surfactant. I used it for most of my jobs, just recently started going with out it. I definitely won’t to get the Davis tip. Thanks again 💪
💯 switch the direction of your quick connects!
With female on the outflow side you can blow out the oring, also less effective spray pattern for rinsing. Male side on outflow fixes both those problems.
Use blue lock tight when putting on new connectors. Keep on keeping on wash brother!
I’ve been wanting to switch them over for a long time now!!! Just haven’t done it. I appreciate ya brother! Keep crushing it! 💪
Customers like to see bubbles. It gives them assurance they hired the right professional. Some customers also don't like the smell of the SH. Surfactant helps give a nice scent which also assures them it was a job well done "smells like a clean home" But I understand where you are coming from. Not all customers will notice.
That’s interesting for sure. I’ve honestly never had a customer watch that closely. I’ve done over 100 jobs since starting and the only comment I’ve ever heard was “is that bleach? It smells so clean”……thanks for watching 💪
@@joeallenpressurewashing every so often I'll get a helicopter or 2. That's someone who hovers around and likes to talk while your working. It's usually the elderly. They are just happy to talk to someone. Drives me nuts but it happens 😅 I just have to deal with it.
I tell the customers to stay inside so the chem spray doesn’t get on them. Never have had a customer come out until I’m finished.
Set up a bypass for your injector so you don’t lose flow when surface cleaning and rinsing
You kinda proved in your own words that surfactant isnt a scam. You said it takes longer to rinse. That is what surfactant does, helps the product cling to the walls. It does in fact work. Now is it needed, not really but its not really a scam
Yeah, not a scam. I agree. I guess my point would be that it isn’t 100% required. Like you can still complete a lot of great work with out it. Thanks for watching 💪
Is that aluminum siding?
Using surfactant slows down the dwelling process.
Do yourself a favor and spray the bleach on without soap and then with soap. See what the dwell time is for both.
By using soap/surfactant it helps give a fresher smell than straight SH. I would rather use soap with the bleach and slow down the dwell time and runoff that to use more SH since it’s way more costly.
Have a great day.
Appreciate it, I used surfactant more than I have without it. I’m gonna start using it again and see how much it changes. I appreciate your comment! Always love to hear outside perspective and opinions 💪
@@joeallenpressurewashing keep up the Good Fight!
Please tell me you upsold them on cleaning the roof! Look at all the debris on there! :-)
No, I didn’t 😢
Are y'all still getting after it down there in Florida i haven't seen any recent videos of y'all. Maybe because the hurricane's 🤷🙋
@@Janeen-t3z definitely getting it in. Just haven’t been doing videos
Bleach drying on windows
Yeah for sure
Uh...did anyone notice that roof!! Is that hay...on the roof!
It was moss and pine needles
I'm not one for surfactant, unless on a roof.
Same here 💪
I use soap roofs only
Same here
Got to love the power of sh
Yes 💪💪
He said Hardie/ T1 11.😂 .
Obviously you have no clue about what the surface is your cleaning.
Well what do you call it? It’s not vinyl? I don’t ever claim to know everything. I love to learn,
Hardie board, also known as James Hardie siding, is a fiber cement siding product made from a combination of cement, sand, cellulose fibers, water, and performance additives. Compared to T111 is a plyboard sheet that resembles siding
