hi all,i hope all is well with you. i just got a new pressure pro 4000 psi washer because there has been a lot of spider webs the last few years here in n.h.,and trying to use my webster is getting old (so is my neck and back) i’v been using some house wash from lowes to get me by,and it’s ok but i want the good stuff!.i need house and deck wash but my biggest problem is the spider webs is there any thing just for removing them? im not looking to kill them i just need somthing to remove the webs. can anybody help me out? thanks
A sodium hypochlorite-based solution will help break down the sticky bonds. I still recommend manual removal of as much as possible first, though.
Nice thick HW mix and big fat low pressure 0 degree
Adding some f-13 to the mix with SH works very well too
Simple Cherry is the soap that makes spider webs heavy. When they’re heavy, they ain’t hangin’. We’ve tried other stuff and Simple Cherry (with the requisite hypo of course) is the go to soap. Mainly because of its effectiveness on spider webs.
i’ve always found that one of those fuzzy ball duster things, threaded on the end of an extension pole, works better at removing spider webs than blasting them with water. although, i’ve never had a machine that puts out volume like the other posters do.

Heres one i found 2.5 gallons of 12.5%, 2.5 gallons of H2O, 3 scoops of SC, and 12 oz of f13.
Sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient in household bleach.

Downstreaming with the right tips is the way to go. Call Bob and he will take care of you.
Is 1 scoop = 1 cup?

Do they not have the scoops with them now? They use to, but may not now. I don’t use simple cherry in prob 2-3 years so I don’t remember what the scoop measurement was. Email bob at pressure tek
my last batch didn’t have one, but I also switched to Freshwash simply because I didn’t like mixing the powder. I still have 10lbs of Simple Cherry left so I want to use it up. Thanks.
