    When you say chlorine, are you talking about sodium hypochlorite?

    Add a tiny bit of dish soap! It acts as a surfactant and makes the bleach stick to the siding/gutters better

    Awesome thanks for the vid! If I use 10% sh In a pump sprayer maybe about 1 quarter to? I don't wanna damage dark grey vinyl siding

      Ya I mean 10% sh and only putting a 1/4 would make it a 2.5% strength.
      I always start off weak maybe 1/8 or 1.25% and if it doesn’t get it off then add a little chlorine. Always start weaker and step it up

      ​@r.ptoneloc3173 or 3? It would be too time consuming and dangerous. At that point it is better pay a pro to spray it. Those little pump sprayers are fantastic for one story homes.

    How does it not run down the house and leave streaks

    • @pressurewashingguides3178
      @pressurewashingguides3178  Рік тому +5

      I mean if the house is filthy and u just do this then yes you could tell the streaks that’s when you would upswell for whole house cleaning.
      But I always spray the house and windows down before doing it to help prevent an issues

      I would personally still do the same thing but make sure to keep it wet at all times and not let the SH sit to long

    Did you ever see damage to the paint/siding of the house?

    • @pressurewashingguides3178

      If I see it before hand I take pictures and note it. If you use to strong of a mix then you can damage the paint and siding. I always use the weakness mix that gets job done. Also if you keep the walls wet and don’t let it dry on the paint that drastically helps. I’m over 100 jobs I have never damaged anything though if you spend the little extra time keeping things wet and only using a 1-2% mix max closer to 1% so 1/8 pool chlorine in a pump up sprayer if not a little less

    Bleach oxidized in the hot sun. Especially on vinyl siding and aluminum. I've been installing siding for 30 + years

      Do you do it in spring or fall on a cloudy day?

    • @pressurewashingguides3178
      @pressurewashingguides3178  7 місяців тому

      Yes I try to keep everything wet the entire process and not let it dry very long. Most houses I'm doing are already heavily oxidized and I dont offer them removing that just to clean the green/mold off.
