You have been the most informative of all the channels and I can’t thank you enough for that. After watching your videos, I approach jobs with so much more confidence. Thank you 🙏

@batmansdad4978 Год назад

Just for clarification, the dirty sides of homes are the north side. It's the same north facing side that Moss will choose to grow on trees. Remember, if you're lost in the woods, look for the moss on trees to point you in a certain direction.

I think a new concrete cleaning video would be very educational.

@noahgarcia3545 Год назад

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I’m a newbie so need all the information I can get.

@christ7205 Год назад

Just curious on the second property that didn’t have organics what do you use on it ? Water and surfactant ? or do you still use sh ? I ask because in my area there’s a ton of new builds . Thanks for the content solid as usual

@jesusespinoza2337 Год назад

Great info . I did my first job this passed weekend and boy $300 couldn’t be earned easier.

One question. I removed the rust from my side walks but it keeps coming back any advise on that ?

@dzgear1 Год назад

One additional benefit of surfactants is they do a pretty good job of keeping the windows from spotting up. As a window cleaner of 25 years and has added pressure washing/soft washing this past year, I’ve been pretty impressed on how the windows look when using a surfactant compared to not using it. Nothing compares to having a professional window cleaning but the surfactant does just enough to leave the windows in a pretty decent condition. Just my .02

@thomascicalese7844 Год назад

Hey Kyle, thanks for the video just wondering do you dilute your eliminator?

@mastercleanenterprisellc2165 Год назад

Good evening Kyle I hope you're doing well. I would like to know how much eliminator you use when you roof wash. 1 ounce per gallon 12 1/2% sh or more Thank you

@577buttfan 11 месяцев назад

I've been using very little surfactant in my house washing just a little splash of dish soap so I can tell when I'm soaping awesome results .

@MrAxlingen Год назад

Question when it comes to cleaning on a windy day... If we clean a building where there are a lot of cars parked, will the chemicals getting blown away make any permanent marks on any windshields or on the paint? That's my "biggest" concern when I'm out cleaning.

@kazitox Год назад

Do you use surfactant when post treating? Does the color of it not leave any coloration or stains?

@AlejandroAlvarez-pq2mi 2 месяца назад

Dang, I was really hoping you’d show your end result with Job #2 (New construction home) and what it would look like completed. In particular the new concrete w/ red clay stains. I’m still interested if you’re reading this lol

@johnolensky7825 Год назад

First off good video second off thank you for saying that isn’t it expensive you said what I always say I first started off paying after the first couple jobs from then on out it’s considered I would say free money the customers paying for it you’re working for it but they’re paying for it. Thank you again. 👏👍

Hey Kyle, great insight on surfactant. Where can I get the surfactant you are using in this video? thanks again brother!

@brandonyee4120 3 месяца назад

Nice video! For concrete surfaces, does the surfactant help prevent the solution from drying out as quickly from the heat/sun? I’m just starting out and only using SH only. dries out in seconds. And how much surfactant do you use per gallon of SH?

@johnwiechel Год назад

What about laundry detergent? Can this be used when first starting out?

@budsmith8285 Год назад

Love your videos very informative, I live in so cal, and my problem is heat, I'm in 117 degree weather, when I'm applying sodium hypochlorite and surfactants it dries so fast, should I start doing the house or driveways in sections? What's my best option on everything drying so fast?

@577buttfan 11 месяцев назад

Pre wet and yes do the hot sunny sides first.

Hello my friend. Great videos. Can you PM me or tell me who made your aluminum ladder racks. I have basically the same set up. It's new to me. I want to have a larger square frame ladder rack like you have. I don't want like 1 inch tubing

@Kriptalas Месяц назад

Won't the plants and grass around the house die off? I assume you used about a 2% solution. Another question: In Europe, this surfactant is not available. What can it be replaced with? Dish soap? Thanks

@joshuapoche5137 5 месяцев назад

So if you're using 15% sh, when you downstream you're stronger then the 1% normal. Have you had any issues with browning grass or plants?

@jasoncote433 Год назад

How many gallons of SH would that 1 Gal of Eleminator mix with?

@austintevis7304 Месяц назад

If batch mixing for down streaming once this is added to a batch of SH how long is it good for. I got some stuff from a local supplier and they told me the SH will only be good for 2 hrs after mixing.

@christopherdodson323 Год назад

How is elemonator with rinsing? Does it take forever to rinse off vs using no surfactant?

@johnbrown5724 6 месяцев назад

just being a dork here. but i think yall should start selling that soap at the least. southeast blah blah have a weird hold on the market and id like an alternative cherry scent. lemon scent reviews are just overflowing with complaints about how they do a poor job of scent cover. love your vids. took a lot of noters on your chem video

Can’t find ratio for a mixing system. I wouldn’t want to downstream id rather fill up my surfactant tank and proportion thru system.

Do you always wear a respirator when house washing? If so, does it ever concern the customer ?

@toddhendrzak4777 11 месяцев назад

Yes and no… always wear one and don’t care what the customer thinks. If you get COPD later in life the customer won’t care

@juniorbiel24 Год назад

Hey man. Im still pretty new to this business. Learning as I go. I’ve had an issue where just about every roof cleaning that I do with gutters, leaves lines on the gutters from the over spray that slides down the gutters. Is this something that is normal? If so, is that something you include in the pricing or sell it separately? Because I hate to see those lines on the gutters. And I have yet to do a roof without gutters, but I can imagine that the run off will come down the roof edge and leaves lines as well? I would greatly appreciate your recommendations! Thanks bro

@losttheplot26 Год назад

Clean the gutters then

@577buttfan 11 месяцев назад

You gotta keep the gutters wet

@redditor7548 Год назад

Can I use laundry detergent

@mr.skeptical3071 Год назад

Does that surfactant have a dyed color so when it comes out you know when your downstreaming?

@softwashtv6315 Год назад

No dye. You don’t need a dye to show you that your pulling chem. You can clearly see your spraying with soap

Why don’t you license out your formula and have somebody else make it? You could just get a kickback on all sales of your soap

@Tdaz250 Год назад

Kyle, I’d encourage you to consider still selling the soap…just cut the hassle of phone calls and the like out of it. Here it is take it or leave it read the instructions on the bottle.
