Ok guys, to lighten the day up, dig out those old pics and let’s let’s see some pics of the dirtiest house you’ve been able to downstream.
Here’s one I did last week. 2.1 injector on 8gpm machine. Straight SH with elemonator. Hit it twice with about 5 min dwell in between. It was a full basement house - the downhill side of that chimney was at least 50’. Standing on my toes with the shooter tip, lol.
Get that some here a lot with houses that have those rolled front edge gutter guards that haven’t been cleaned in forever. That front edge, you can’t dynamite clean. Had one a couple of weeks ago, that I hit 3 times with a 4% mix, scrubbed and then rinsed with my shooter tip. They looked better, but were still bad.
I keep a large assortment of 12, 15 and 20 orfice size tips, in 25,40 and 65 deg fans. My go to is a size 20 40deg for a medium pressure (1000 psi) rinse that usually handles what 4% alone can’t do well.
Downstreamed with SH and Elemonator, 2-3 applications of my normal housewash mix on the spots that’s didn’t clean up within a few moments of dwell time. These where done at various times of the year so outdoor temps varied from 40 degrees to 90 degrees, and I guesstimate my batch mixes to be around 1% each time, but I’m not following a precise formula when I make up the cocktails each day.
Some good ones guys, keep them coming. Don’t forget this is educational so if you can maybe edit your post and in a sentence or 2 tell everyone gpm and maybe mix, soap, process, etc. Thomas, that’s some nice one’s.
Theres a couple nowhere near as bad as some yalls tho
4gpm 2.1 injector with a splash of elemenator straight SH normally with a regular injector , i put a check valve on that pulls way hotter mix so im still experimenting with my batch mix did like 60/40 or so on the tan property and worked amazing
Normally i run 1 solid coat of HW mix then go touch up a 2nd time on areas that need it before rinsing
Putting this one up because it was a steel-sided house
(no, not aluminum).
Kinda fun. Still drying in the clean pic.
The second pic is just for fun. That’s not dirt. That’s all mold. As soon as I hit it with HW mix, it turned brown in about 20 seconds. The material was like beadboard.
Applied regular house wash mix. Waited a few minutes. Rinsed.
8 / 3500
Slo mo
2.1 injector
12.5% SH downstreamed
I get asked all the time how I can stand being so wet after washing a home. I tell them I usually stay dry, but that I’ll definitely get wet when doing the front porch or the screened in porch outback.
Haha yeah 1st time i did one i did it way wront ijstead of working my way out from the back i did opposite started and went in then halfway through was like hmmm terrible idea haha but either way your wet haha
