So, NOW you tell me! I bought 1/2 gallon of Mold Armor with the hose attachment last year,. but never "got around" to using it. I even bought a full gallon refill bottle for THIS year. When I saw the large display of 30 Seconds Cleaner at Lowe's a few weeks ago, I decided to buy 1/2 gallon with the hose attachment. I'll use that on the shady, yucky side of my house, and use the Mold Armor on my aluminum shed and the garage-type door on my portable building. Thank you for posting this comparison video!

Kudos for doing a comparison that was easy to follow.

Thanks mate - so pleased to help people with this. I was not sure of what the outcome would be either - so glad to have discovered a better product!

Got a couple of spray bottles of Mean Green from dollar general. Walked around and sprayed the house, and let it stay on for about 10-15 minutes per side before my friend came behind me with the power washer to rinse...that was 2 years ago...the house is just now showing a few signs of needing it done again.

Thanks for the video. I know this is long after the video was posted but I do have a question..... How does this do with dark vinyl sidings? Does it bleach them out? I have very expensive dark gray siding. I know I can do a 'test' area first but just wanted to know if you have any advice / recommendation? Thanks in advance.

I live in a desert, we rarely have mold which I’m assuming the Clorox is taking care of. Any ideas for just flat out dirt?

Under $3 for a gallon of regular bleach. Put a third of that in a 2 gallon sprayer with a few onces of Dawn dish detergent and the rest water - less than $5 tax included... that one gallon of bleach covers my little ranch house and 2.5 car garage 3X, and I guarantee it does just as good of a job.

⁠@@jeffflowers3645 You do realize that the majority of siding/fence cleaners have some version of sodium. You know what those versions of sodium are? Bleach. Whether you’re smart or enjoy being taken advantage of, just pre rinse your landscape with water, then dilute the landscape with water again after you’re done spraying your house/fence with bleach. Hell, if you’re still concerned about the bleach harming your plants, you can overdo things by grabbing some random leaves, spread them out inconspicuously, them spray the landscape with some molasses to bring back the microbe/mycorrhizal population. But that’s the over paranoid option.

Is 30 second ok for James Hardie board?

What is the cost per application for each.

The first time I ever used the 30 second cleaner I determined that there was no use to try anything else but I usually let it sit for 4 or 5 minutes before I rinse it with the pressure washer .

I been trying using 30 second cleaning

The key is to not let it become that black mold! I live in humid Florida and have used the affordable $1.25 jugs at Dollar Tree. Works for me …. Use full strength .. wear old clothes !!

With standard city water pressure the 30 sec apparatus will shoot about 25 to 28ft. Height of a gable end of a 1 story building. Remove the red nozzle and it shoots a long straight stream. Put it back on for areas you can reach to save cleaner. The contents is just household bleach and soap. I just refill mine from DollarTree bleach and a little laundry soap or dawn.

Per someone else’s question below, can you please confirm that the 30-second cleaner intended for hose application was actually applied at full strength during your test?

Uh, if you simply used the 30 second cleaner straight from the hose sprayer bottle, then you were spraying on a highly concentrated amount as it would normally be mixed with water as it empties from the bottle. of course it looks the best as it was probably a good 10-15 times higher concentration

@kkeeze

I wondered the same thing.

if I follow the mixing recommendations for the 30-sec concentrate it makes 5% solution. Since you recommended the pre-mixed solution which is an advertised 8%, what is stopping me from either adding less water or using the concentrate straight to get a more powerful solution to either use in a sprayer or as a refill to the hose jug you recommend?

@Turtle-sz7sk

I don't know how you got that large wall done with 1 bottle. I did the backside of a mobile home and was half empty and I have a flow regulator on my hose. I ran out after 2 bottles and did not complete the job. But, the area where I did cover worked great. I missed behind the down spouts and corner areas because it goes so quickly. If you don't cover enough, it will leave streaks where part is clean and part is not. So don't expect it to just run down and work, because that chemical from up top is used, so you have to apply as much fresh cleaner to every level. I'm going to paint, so a little streaking doesn't matter for my job.

@@MariusNinjai is that your opinion, or is it informed by *say* some research? Bleach, when used properly, and in a contained environment (such a proper amount, handled carefully, diluted, and flushed down drains to a proper wastewater treatment plant) is not perfect, but it is not terrible. However, bleach in the environment does not biodegrade, but it does break down and is highly reactive (which is also why it is good for killing microorganisms). In water it forms (among other organo-compounds) dioxins, furans, and dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) all of which are known carcinogens and have half-lifes of several years. Dioxins in the environment is what led to the near extinction of bald eagles as well as an overall decrease in fish and bird species near large bodies of fresh water. Recall, it is not just bleach that is stressing the environment. I also did not call for banning bleach, I said WHEN USED the directions on the bottle should be read and followed. Of course, it is the manufacture of bleach (particularly sodium hypochlorite) that is the source of the majority of environmental pollutants. So, maybe considering more environmentally safe alternatives is a reasonable suggestion.
