    I run a pressure washing business out of NY.. up until this year we have always used some type of "off the shelf" mixture thats gauanteed eco friendly but that requires a lot of going up and down the ladder. Ive been seeing a lot of other companies dont even get on ladder and finish a full 2 storie home in an hour! (it usually takes us about 2 with other method) What type of mixture are you using? It seems like everybody is saying just use straight 10% SH when downstreaming and make sure its rinsed good.. We have hot and cold washers so thats not an issue. What would you suggest for mixture?

      +Joe Dub I haven't come across wood shingles and I have also altered the colored of wood ( mostly cleans the area the chems get on) but that was before I thinned the mix. Now going 50/50 bleach and water AND syphoning that mix the chems are really weak. Much safer for shingles, wood and plants.

As in the roof/shingles gets cleaned in spots from the solution mix and is noticeable from the rest of the roof? Or any problems with your mix hurting plants near houses? I often see people around here spray the plants first and then of course after. Thanks any info would be most appreciated.

    Hi again Dan, I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have been getting customers that want me to wash their house, which is fine, no problem, except here lately all the house that want washed are so close together that is almost impossible to do i mean they are so close together you can not push a lawn mower between them let-alone stand between them and shoot SH soap mix or water to rinse on them. The houses are 2 story and pretty big too. So ok in theory you should be able to shoot at an angle from the front of the house and then go to the back of the house and shoot at an angle and hopefully get the whole side cleaned... Right?? Because otherwise you would just get stuck in between them while trying to clean it and get soaked too... I can not find any videos on UA-cam to help me with this one.... what should I do to get it clean?? Thank you for any advice you might have on this.

    • @DansVlog
      @DansVlog  6 років тому +1

      You are going to get soaked almost no matter what especially when you’re doing People’s front doorways so don’t worry too much about getting wet… It is part of the job. Your technique from working from the front and then working from the back is exactly how I would do it however the concern is going to be it’s splashing and wind drifting the chemicals to neighboring houses and leaving spots and streaks. If you cannot perform the job without Disrupting the neighbors or possibly having conflict it is sometimes best to walk away and leave the money on the table. Also keep in mind what the wind is going to be doing that day.

    • @SarahsPage
      @SarahsPage 6 років тому

      I dont worry about getting wet, i always get soaked. I do more decks, driveways and way to many stairs and stairs make the water splash up into your face. I have done front porches and dormers but never the whole house; I dont know why, but I have done whole houses before just not that many and never this close together. You literally have to turn sideways to scratch your head, so given what you said i may just take the challenge and clean the house and clean the other house wall that is beside it, with their permission of course. If they say no then I will just leave the money on the table and walk away. Thank you for the advice.

I currently use the standard diaphragm pump setup that is powered by marine batteries, but Ive been look for a more efficient way and your method seems awesome. So my question is, how do you control how much chemical comes thru your downstreamer? Being that I do houses and roofs, I need various concentrations. Oh and BTW, those prices are SUPER low, lol.

    • @DansVlog

    I've a watched a great deal of pressure washing videos. I need to know how the hoses are hooked up as far as fresh water from the house or fresh water from your container or tank. Are you using your water or water from the residence?

      Thank you Dan so I guess the rule of thumb would be 2 gallons per 1000 ft.². Also I just bought a 7 gallon per minute soft wash system 12 V will that be good enough to wash houses with they would mostly be Stucco because I see you using a pressure washer but if I’m good with the soft wash system then I will feel much better knowing that I can do the house washes

    • @DansVlog

  • @fatfat6389

    Great job and great video Dan, man I was happy to see you were going to finish the house with that weak mix you said you had in the beginning, and then you said that you will put the other siphon in and pull a lot more bleach, then I was sad again thinking I cannot do this, that's because where I live I might not even find 10% happy to find 8%, I'm hopping/planning to start the business this spring somehow, that's why I'm so concerned with downstream injectors, by the way what do you think was the percentage hitting the house from the beginning with the weak mix?

    • @DansVlog

      Haha, yeah right, I don't think Wal-Mart will ship in my Country, I know you guys have that in U.S. that would be easy if I lived there, :) I live in Europe region small Country (2 million), It's hard to find even 8% here man, but thank you Dan, anyway, what's good though, is that there isn't any, I mean there are 0 pressure washing companies in my Country for that matter and so, there is hope, there are some pool shops here as well and I might just check them if they have, if not I'll have to import or find someone who can I guess, again, thanks a lot, all the best.
