It is worth a shot! I will check the active ingredients on the hose and sprayer and see if it’s 5% 3% 6% and knowing that the pool essentials is 10% you might want to dilute it a little bit with water to equal the same percentage as the hose end sprayer ratio

Dan I need your help. First I'm a dedicated subscriber and thanks so much for the guidance. I started pressure washing and house washing in CA a few month a ago and it's been going great. Today I did a 2 story house, pale yellow color with tons of black mold on the back and one side. The siding is some kind of wood composite and seemed soft-ish, no way to i would use pressure. I down streamed your recipe with my jrod and 4gpm machine, good soap hitting the house. After 15 min none of it was coming off with a rinse. I had to get very close to the first story with my shooter rinse tip and it "would" come off with that pressure but I was sure would also cause damage and be extremely time consuming and no way to reach the 2nd story with the pressure needed. I hit it again but this time downstreamed straight pool essentials from a bucket, good coverage and another 15 min to dwell. A lite better but not much. I told the customer the mold had gotten too deep into the siding, still gave a great house wash on the rest and did the driveway for free. He tipped me $25 even. I know I did everything right but what do you think I did wrong failing to eliminate the mold? Thank you so much for responding if you can.
What about using the soap injector on your pressure washer? Is that okay to use straight bleach. Will that mix it at the correct blend?
Thank you.. very helpful
Hey im 100% green and i have a 2 story house to do. How many 5 gallon buckets of mix do you think i need for a house about 4,000 Square feet ? Its vinyl siding. If pool essentials is good for 5 gallons im just curious of how many il need to buy for a larger house. An approximate

Have you ever tried using sodium percarbonate or sodium hydroxide on vinyl siding?
Thanks for this video, I reused a 30 sec hose end sprayer which is 1/2 gl or 64 oz. I mixed that container 3 to 1 (32 oz water and 16 oz of Pool Essentials) and then it's mixed again with the hose. It worked real good but not too hot. I had bad algae on the South of my house and it took two applications to remove it. Probably will try cutting it back to 8 oz and test that out. Keep in mind the hose end sprayer solution is 8% so using Pool Essentials is almost 1 to 1 that's why I did 3 to 1 to dilute it.

Dan, I watched your house wash in the past and tried Purple Power (1 Cup/gal) with household bleach (2-1/2 cups/gal) followed with a consumer pressure washer. Three years later it needs done again, normally it needs washed every year. I'm convinced the purple power slows down the regrowth of algae and mildew, its also really cheap to use in place of the dawn soap. Just picked up some 10% bleach and getting ready to wash the vinyl siding again.

My suggestion is to not worry about the numbers/ratios. Just be safe. When using unknown equipment, start out thin. Put a gallon of 7% up to 10% in a bucket with a gallon of water and siphon that with 2 ounces of Dawn and see what happens. Should be plenty safe to not cause harm to lawn and plants. If the yuk doesn’t get dissolved in 15-20 minutes. Add 1/2 gallon more SH and retry. Once it works, write it down!!
So I just got a 2.5gpm 3200psi simpson washer. And I can actually get pool shock liqud(12.5%SH) cheaper then the pool essentials 10% ANd if I am under standing you correctly. 2 gallons of shock and 1 gallon of water will dilute down to being close to 10%SH? Also How many gallons of bleach would you typically use on a 1000SQFT driveway?
I don’t have a mildew issue with my house, just dirt and pollen. It’s James Hardy Board and Batten White. What would you suggest as the best for that application?
I am using the 30 sec hose end container to apply pool essential bleach. Do I dilute or straight from gallon. Thanks

Good morning sir. I would put about an ounce of Dawn dishwashing soap for every gallon I mix up. If I am just siphoning the bleach straight into a downstream chemical injector, I will usually pour two or 3 gallons of the bleach a.k.a. sodium hypochlorite into a bucket And add two or 3 ounces of the Dawn. I have great success with Dawn in this situation. Dawn has two recipes to choose from. When you’re at the store look at the back label. On the top of the label one recipe will say do not mix with bleach. The other recipe does not mention anything about bleach so use whatever you feel most comfortable with. I don’t check because it all works great and I never have any adverse reaction.
If i have a PW with 4gpm and a Super Sud Sucker DS Injector, how would i calculate what o put in my tank? I assumed i put straight SH/surfactant in the tank since it dilutes as i pressure wash, but how do i know the % of bleach after it auto dilutes?
If the pool stuff in one quart to a gallon , isn’t that 5 gallon that it will make instead of 8. Want to make sure I’m getting this right. About to clean some mold and mildew off house.
I did a bucket test of a downstream 2-3gpm injector added to my 2.5gpm machine. It drew a quart of solution in 20seconds. So thats 0.75gal/min. If we assume its actually a 2.5gpm machine, that only like 3-4:1 ratio??? Does that make sense? I cut my 12% wayyyy down

Great video Very informative. Question for you. Is Dawn dishwashing soap ok to use as a surfactant? I’ve heard to use a laundry detergent as it’s formulated to work with bleach better. Any thoughts of using a surfactant for herbicides? I have an AG surfactant I use when spraying weeds in my lawn. I’m guessing the soaps a better option as it will help lift the dirt off the surface better than a plain surfactant which just makes water wetter like you said. One more question if you don’t mind. What are your thoughts on pouring the sodium hypochlorite solution and soap into the soap dispenser on the electric power washers?

I’m using 10% pool chlorinator with a 3400 psi pressure washer.

Depends on what you are cleaning and other factors... but if you think strait on in the foam cannon is gona be to hot for the plants or paint... you can dial it back to start and work your way back up towards 100%. To get a hotter mix above the foam cannon you will have to set up a GP High Draw Downstream injector aft the pump. To get even hotter you can ad a second injector run in parallel with a bypass valves and bypass line. To get any hotter... say 5% ... you should use a 12 volt pump and batch mix tank not a pressure washer... and pre-wet and cover plants and bag down spouts.
Would love to know how you would mix this SH to use in a foam cannon.

Ive just been having issues getting the mix rite while applying it with my pressure washer lol. I have a gallon soap tank on my pressure washer and as the manual says that it will with the soap nozzle mix 1 gallon of soap or whatever you put in it for every 7 gallons of water going through the machine. I disconnected the hose to the tank and put it in a bucket so basically downstreaming it. I went 2 qt of bleach to 2 gallons of water and 2 oz soap. Seemed to work okay but not great and i didn't want to mix it to hot. Any recommendations on a mix for the supposed 1 gallon soap to 7 gallons of water my machine claims to do.

Thank you for the comment. I don’t know what concentration you’re using. Meaning are you using extra strength Clorox at 7% active ingredients or are you using pool essentials chlorinating liquid for swimming pools which is at 10% sodium hypochlorite active ingredients. Don’t forget to add an ounce of Dawn dishwashing soap to every gallon. You mix up and don’t be afraid to add 1 quart stronger bleach. So make it 1 gallon water to 3 quarts bleach and see how that works.

I have watched a bunch of your videos. I'm trying to figure out the ratio of 10% hypochlorite to water in the pump-up sprayer. I have seen a ratio of 8 oz. of 10% hypochlorite to a gal. of water up to 21 oz. of 10% hypochlorite to a gal. of water. Can you state the correct ratio?

What is the very first thing you hear me say at the start of this video?
You mentioned stock up on sodium hyporchloride if it’s on sale . I thought it had a shelf life?

Yes, sodium hypochlorite does have a shelf life and will lose a good deal of its strength after a few months. Buy only what you need at the time.
Dan does it make a difference on the dwell time if it’s super hot out or really cold?

Nah. I washed in just above freezing temps and just below skin-melting temps and never adjusted my style. Sometimes ya just need to go back with straight water and re-wet/activate the recipe. That’s another reason why I like to add Dawn soap. It keeps the recipe wetter longer.
If I’m mixing a 5 gallon bucket how many ounces of soap should I add? Thanks!

Around 5 or 6 ounces is plenty
Could you run the bleach through a foam cannon to get it to cling longer on the house? 😎
Can one use bleach solution for both house sidings, roofs and driveway? Or is it different solutions for each of them?

Yes you can although you may need a stronger mix for shingles and driveways
Can I use it in my garage. 25x40 feet Thank you
Don't have an outside faucet, so I'll have to go with a hand sprayer. Luckily, I don't have a lot to cover. About a 2x8 ft. section of front deck, and the front of our house.

I found "Pool shock" at 12.5% for $4.99 can i use that stuff.
Good info. I’m doing a power washing on stucco. I was able to remove the algae/green with outdoor clorox 😂. But not the black stains. So yes I be buying the pool essential, so if it’s 10% hitted straight on stucco or better to mix it? I be using the black nozzle. If i have to mix it what should the mixture ratio be on a 5g bucket. High walls. What do you recommend. I can even send you a pic.

Dilute the 10% as I suggest in this video and apply it to the stucco. Let it dwell for 15 or 20 minutes and if you’re not satisfied with the results, apply another coat and then rinse it off after an additional 15 or 20 minutes
