Everything I Know About Using Bleach For Pressure Washing Concrete 

Excellent

Download the Q!

Great suggestion!

We use bleach DAILY. Just gotta rinse and water plants and rinse surfaces around the area down to get it off/dilute it. And don’t use it on wood really. There are better products for wood 👍🏼

​@chadhamel8707 what % of SH do you use to post treat concrete and do you rinse after post treating?

Young lion👍

And always softwash with bleach and water. First and weight. About 15 minutes to half an hour. Then use the pressure washer you'll see better results

@@AllAboutPressureWashing wait till you read the novel I wrote earlier today about finding your channel. It's a book bossman!!

@@MisterTherapy where might I read this novel

Of course pre-treatment is effective.

@@AllAboutPressureWashing your surface cleaner can only go a certain speed regardless of pretreating and will remove most of the organics then go in with the post treat and it’s perfect. No situation I can think of to pre-treat. Even in the most severe cases of algae build up the bleach will only affect the surface level of the algae and doesn’t do a good job penetrating into the concrete. While it will kill some algae of course I’m not debating that, it just doesn’t make that much of a difference to warrant the extra chemical cost and the extra time spent doing it. Post treat is the most effective method. Saves time and chemical and leaves the ideal result every time.

@@Unmployable When you go to the sink to wash your hands, do you rinse first or put on soap first?

I disagree we compared no pre treating and pre treating. Pretreating always makes removing black algae easier and quicker.

@@rolltide9547 post treating will remove the black spots with half the product and half the time.

Bye!

Thanks for watching

@@AllAboutPressureWashing always

Thanks

Thanks for watching

@@AllAboutPressureWashing oh, not watching. Studying, cross researching and note taking, but, no time to just "watch" lol. Every word is money in the bank! Can't pass that up..

Thanks

That sounds interesting, we do not have to worry about water reclamation but guys that do would very much be interested in a vehicle like this. Thank you for sharing

Bleach is cheap so there is no harm in going hotter than Mike describes as long as you watch out for edge burn. I like to hotter than a house-wash mix as he describes and sometimes you don't need the surface cleaner, just the ball valve and a rinse and that is not as likely with a "house-wash" mix but more likely with a "roof mix". As Mike said, not all jobs are the same.

Don’t use too much concentration Dilute the bleach fool

Don't use dawn

Yes

You can also you the downstream calculator that's free in QuoteIQ

You won't get 3% with a standard downstream - Check out the free mic calculator in QuoteIQ

Yes, if you dilute a solution it becomes less potent.

Awesome- thanks for sharing

Why

Ooooo that's the same question I just asked! Haha nice!

No

@@AllAboutPressureWashingI’m fairly certain you do. Under federal regulation chemical runoff must be contained

Thanks

My pleasure

No

No

@@AllAboutPressureWashing exactly because if you did you would have no work at all. In my opinion the difference between a good business man and a shit one is giving people the best knowledge and the right advice instead of pissing in people's pockets to benefit one's self.

Yes

I own QuoteIQ

Don’t fall for big promotion installers, mine ran 1100, my first quote was 16000. Best offer 6800 but name brand. Love mine, once a year brushing and cut down on mold an algie coming from gutter build up.

It depends on the machine and the tips - tips are sized specific to the specs on machine

Wear a respirator if you would like

No idea what your talking about. The technician in the video applies a pre-treatment then surface cleans then rinses.

@@AllAboutPressureWashing He does the right and bottom first then the top left, but the water is running down and do the right. Maybe I need to watch more videos.

Probably

Pretty much what I just said

What are you talking about

No

And has anything happened to any plants or has it caused any damage?

@Reckless Gamer so far no

Depends on the percentage of SH in the bleach solution you bought

How about this, don't watch, don't subscribe. I'm sure you're broke and you're unwilling to invest in yourself, a business or anything else of value. That's on you, that's not on me. And by some chance, you actually have a business, do you give away your service or your products for free? Of course not. so shut your mouth and move on.

What did you pre-treat with, what was the ratio, how did you apply it?

@@AllAboutPressureWashing half gallon of pool essentials + detergent downstream. I just downloaded your app to help with ratio I forgot to add water to the sh mix I thought the downstream would dilute the mix still came out nice just left little white marks wondering if you seen that before.

🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's not what you "want" to do.....it's the correct way to do it.

@@AllAboutPressureWashing true, but then I would have to charge triple for the triple amount of work!

Why would you need to charge triple - it takes 5 minutes max to pre or post treat - but you would need to account for the added Chem used (minimal) but the amount of business you will lose if you don't will far out weigh the added cost.

@@AllAboutPressureWashing because you still have to rinse it off. Instead of rolling up the hose, u gotta spray it with chem, wait ten min. Then spray it off again Most people don't even want chemicals in driveway anyway.

You don't have to rinse it off if you ore-treat Also- not necessary to rinse off a pst treatment either But again - is five minutes worth retaining a customer for life? I think so.

That's the problem with living in a liberal state.

@@AllAboutPressureWashing well, yes, that's the first problem. Thankfully I'm in a conservative area. But federal law? Anyone know what they are talking about? I'm assuming the sh is so deluded by the time it gets to the drain that it really doesn't harm anything but what do I know.

@@AllAboutPressureWashing and the license is a pesticide license, to be clear.

It is a federal law to not let pollutants into drains basically. Its weather or not its being policed in the area. Probably best to be safe and block off any discharge from leaving private property. This "The CWA made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, unless a permit was obtained: EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls discharges. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Individual homes that are connected to a municipal system, use a septic system, or do not have a surface discharge do not need a NPDES permit; Industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters."

@@SydneyRayGolf so is dirt a pollutant?

Do you work for free? Of course not. Don't like it? Don't watch. Unsubscribe.

@AllAboutPressureWashing no but I give back to people who are less fortunate. That's what I was saying. Helping out people who are just starting out who need help. Who need info. We should help each other in our business. Of course charge your customers I never said not to lmao. I just said hello people. But people like you I see can not do that. Have a good day. God bless

Whatever

You're name is Timmie- not credible
