Trying to get subscribers so I will immediately sub to all that sub to me. Thank you.
Chlorine is sodium hypochlorite or hypochlorite acid is the same as household bleach but about 5% stronger. Be smart and do this on days when it is not windy and wear protection like a mask. I deal with chlorine daily so I am comfortable around it. Have a hose nearby in case you spill some on your hands. Just apply and let sit. NO RINSING!! The longer it sits the nicer it will look. Chlorine kills bacteria and such on a one to one ratio so as its working to kill the mold it is neutralizing itself as well. I used about 2.5 gallons to do this single driveway.

many ways to do it. I dilute mine. Add 1 quart pool chlorine to my 1 gallon sprayer and fill with water. Spray it on. Brush the heavy areas with my bristle broom. let is set for about 15 minutes then rinse it off with my hose nozzle set to jet. Works so good I sold my pressure washer.

@zippybunglegeorge2181 Год назад

Hi good morning. My old concrete garden is in a dire state... concrete chipping way exposing little stones in the mix... moss algae grown... pressure washed it last year but its come back with a full vengeance... do you think the chlorine solution will help with the moss and algae? What strength is this solution you used? Thanks

@fcaughli 8 месяцев назад

Unless the concrete is real solid and/or you are careful a pressure washer can do quite a bit of damage.

Do you have to dilute the pool chlorine

@imagohouse7412 3 месяца назад

@@richardshanekennedy If you dilute it will save lots of money. I ending up using like 4 to 1. I would put the bleach in a five gallon bucket then fill the bucket with water. I then just poured to bucket on sections of the slab as needed. Worked great, no more nasty letters from the HOA!!!

@pfmobius1970 4 года назад

Yes I misspoke at start of video. First attempt at a dyi video. Chlorine solution or sodium hypochlorite reacts and turns to hypochlorous acid when mixed with water. The fumes will be stronger that’s why I do not use water. This is for people trying to save a bit of money. If you have the money by all means spread the wealth and hire a pressure cleaner but this works better. Spray it and leave it. Thanks for watching and all the comments.

@gr8wh8orca53 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this Donnie, appreciated. I will try this on my driveway and pergola.

@pfmobius1970 Год назад

You're very welcome. Not sure what your pergola is made out of but when I clean my soffits I get one of those miracle grow sprayers that attach to a garden hose, fill it with chlorines, then use the adjustment wheel on the sprayer. Start low, like the 2 tablespoons setting and see how it cleans before jumping into the higher ounce settings. Also if it's leaking, like some do. It'll start irradiating your skin obviously so just be careful when spraying overhead it can slowly leak down your arm. This way works great for soffits, gutters, and stucco homes.

@gr8wh8orca53 Год назад

@@pfmobius1970 Thank you for that great advice and tip. My pergola is concrete but stamped with paver dye/colour. I think cholorine might lighten it a bit. The pool chlorine I want to buy is the 20L Baracuda Liquid Chlorine 130g/L 12%-13% sodium hypochlorite, sold at Mitre 10 in Australia. Do you think this should be ok? Also I'm not sure if I get one or two 20L gallons. Thanks Donnie.

@pfmobius1970 Год назад

@@gr8wh8orca53 yes I would go with the adjustable sprayer then. I do pool decks that are colored with the chlorine and I'm sure they fade a tiny bit but probably no more than the sun does to them but I can't imagine your needing full strength chlorine on that. Household bleach works also. It's a few percent weaker than pool chlorine but still works.

@sprintcoding7358 5 лет назад

not harmless, wear respirator use caution and gloves once finished spraying before rinsing you need to used sodium thiosulfate to neutralize and make it safe to be rinsed into waterways, neutralize bleach , now to combat all that (SODIUM) salt use gypsum .

I is straight chlorine no dilution and no rinsing after. Let it sit at least 4hrs then hit heavy spots again and let it sit overnight. The chlorine will continue to work till it's gone. This is a light coat. Enough to wet it. It shouldn't be pouring down the driveway. 👍

@softwashscience 5 лет назад

Chlorine is a gas it can never be a liquid and is not in pool shock. Pool cleaner is also a caustic not an acid and it can be neutralized with an acid though.

@DaveB324 4 года назад

How is Sodium Hypochlorite Made? Sodium Hypochlorite is prepared by reacting dilute caustic soda solution with liquid or gaseous chlorine, accompanied by cooling. Sodium Hypochlorite is commonly produced either through a batch process or through a continuous process. Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It is two and a half times heavier than air. It becomes a liquid at −34 °C (−29 °F
