800 in one day... That is almost an entire week of work for me. You have inspired me. I am going to test this this weekend on my north side wall which needs a wash. My mom’s house needs a full wash. If this is successful, I am going to start this as a side hustle on weekends. Thanks for all the knowledge! This is a great channel! I need to look for a video on cleaning shingles.
REAL and to the point .. I remember back when I was a kid seeing my dad use water hose with Nozzle on the end and a pump sprayer washing houses ... I use to think people would look at him like he wasn't a professional because he didnt have professional equipment.. noone ever complained all they ever said was WOW you do Amazing work and your attention to detail is Awesome .. he was a Great people person and being Hispanic working in an all white neighborhood back in the early 80s wasn't easy... Just wanted to say ... Thank you for the Great informative videos and that your not bothered by someone else's negative vibes ... God Bless you and thank you for your charity contributions towards St. Jude
Right! Back in the early 80s where I lived if you were white and walked into a hispanic neighborhood you'd get beaten or at the very least terrorized, and for no other reason but the fact you were white, and you claim it wasn't easy for hispanic folks to be in a white neighborhood? LMAO The hood I lived in welcomed anyone. It didn't matter what race you were. I'm so tired of these types of comments whether they come from an hispanic, a black person, or a white person. We're all in this world together just trying to survive and give our kids a future.
Dan, Your videos are great and information rich. They have helped me in starting my own business. Going from nothing to 5 jobs in just a month! I particularly like your simple form of marketing that works great! 4 out of 5 of my customers I have got with door hangers displaying pricing, which I think is key in this type of business, when looking for quantity. The customers love it too because there is no guessing involved. My flat rates are a little higher than yours but thats due to limited competition in my area (Around Pittsburgh, PA). I am also trying to build a lawn care route to create a weekly, steady income. I was hoping you could do another video similar to the "How to grow/build pressure washing business fast" You did two years ago. I know there is no one secret by any means, but maybe a little advice on how to build a lawn care route/clientele. Also some pressure washing advice, as always. Im sure many others would appreciate this video as well. You have definitely made an impact on my outlook on marketing and business as a whole. The effort you put into your videos is all worth it if you can impact one, let alone many people. Keep it up Dan!
Good stuff Dan , I watched the video where u talked about passing out cards and promoting your business I was driving today my wife to work and I saw a Burger King employee washing the sidewalk with the regular hose and a brush pulled up to him give them my card let them know I can pressure wash it way faster for him to hours later I get a call from ,learning a lot from ur videos thank you so much
Hi Dan. I am in Australia I have a lawn cutting business and now I am adding pressure washing to the business as I have had lot’s of customers asking me to do it. I have been watching your videos. Thanks so much for all the help you give people. Thanks Sean. For Adelaide Australia
Absolutely. Homeowner style pressure washers won't hold up with bleach. Just use a downstream injector or a completely different pump like a insecticide pump. Even with professional washers, i recommend downstream injectors. Easier and cheaper to maintain or replace a injector than replacing a pump on the washer.
I think people are thinking of mixing bleach and ammonia, which makes chloramine vapor. Or bleach and an acid, which can make chlorine gas. Mustard gas is also known as sulfur mustard, which is completely different than the other two. Dish soap....doesn't create any toxic vapor or gas with bleach.
Thanks for putting this video out. A ton of great info watched it all! Just adding this service and your taking the time do this video has been a fantastic help to us. Thank you very much 👍🏻
U see what I love about Dan is that. He has this incredible transparency about him that other pressure washer channels don’t have . From what easy mixtures to uses to the DOs and DONTs. This channel is exactly the content that I look for and Dans channel has helped me many many times. I’ve done jobs and had issues while doing them .. went on his channel and got is sorted out. The content he puts out.. is to me worth a trillion bucks. So thank you Dan. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 may god bless you with health , wealth and a very very happy family. Amen!
dans the best at explaining stuff. i always felt weird about asking customers where there taps are and he explained it quite well no water cant do the job move on
I did my first house wash today, could have used more bleach, mine was less than 6% but it seemed to work well. I was concerned about breathing it in, but I’m still alive. I was worn out. I only did one side and the front. Still need to do the back and other side. Looks amazing! Thanks for the pro tips and the confidence!!!
What do you do to prevent the roof from getting cleaned accidentally when cleaning the house? I just don’t want there to be clean spots on the roof where it touched when cleaning the house and client be mad and want me to clean their whole roof
Dan, I'm a long time subscriber probably since 2015 or so. I had to put my business ideas to rest while I raised 3 kids. They are now in elementary school and I am itching to get some side jobs while they are in school. Thank you for the videos as always!
That's great Lance. Now is a great time to get your plan in order and be ready to full full steam for the holiday season! People need nice yards and clean homes for the guests and relatives!!!
@@DansVlog I only have the small gas pressure washer from harbor freight right not but I have an extra 420cc predator I'm gonna look into a pump for it and maybe find an ICB tote for water and just use my trailer! I have some big dreams lol thanks a lot Dan I really appreciate your channel!
As I was watching you I really wanted to go help U ! You do great work and have an easy professional demeanor 👌👍👏 Great cause and very worth while !! Also very informative to motivate a way younger person than me to start their own biz being their Own BOSS !!
Great video. Love that you take time to show news guys how you do things to clean houses Wether it’s the right way way proper trained guys do it or not I have watched almost all your videos I am doing this part time now there is a LITTLE bit of common sense that has to be used here in this business especially when using chemicals. I’m am always one for constructive criticism I think it helps you to improve. But what I’m tired of seeing is all these guys saying your doing it all wrong and there properly trained. BUT I haven’t seen many if any of them taking time out of there day to show people the BASICS. I have tried your way using Dawn and I didn’t DIE but I however have started using armor hammer liquid for soap until I can get more work to buy a better soap. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. And thank you for videos. I bet none of these guys are DONATING any of that hard earned money either.
Actua , I watched another one of his videos , where he used a pump up sprayer, that’s what I used, the solution I used was ( 1 gallon of water 3 cups of regular bleach with 1 oz of Dawn dish detergent, also I was using a Ryobi electric pressure washer ,)Awesome Results
great stuff as always I have a dewalt 3100 and a ryobi 3100 both are downstream Got about 8 years of heavy use on the dewalt. I bought a replacement pump for it on ebay for $75 and sold the other parts and paid for the replacement pump....awesome both are 2.5 to 2.8 gpm I bought an XJET nozzle works great reaches about 30 feet there are different XJET nozzles for the different gpm the one I got is 2.5 to 3.5 gpm
Dan, thank you so much for this vidro! Would you please show us how to mix the chemical and also show us an approximate amount you charged on this job? Again, thank you so much. Extremely grateful!
Hey Dan, I've been enjoying your channel for years. I compliment you on your work ethic and your charitable, pay it forward philosophy. I've been doing the same thing all along, especially with our seniors. Give something back, seems like the right thing to do. Couple quick questions...first, it seems that I remember you pre-wetting your houses with water and Dawn with a hand held sprayer prior to applying your bleach. Next thing, I see you putting your bleach mixture onto a dry house. What dictates your plan of attack for each job? Second, I see you're dealing with vinyl siding like most of us are. How do you deal with oxidation and how do you prevent "tiger stripes" or "Zorro marks" in your finished product. I've read different solutions from various regions of the country and alot of them are suggesting a soft wash with a hand scrub. How are you approaching this? Keep on doing what you're doing and stay safe!!!
@@DansVlog Hey Dan been watching u for awhile. I soft wash only using 12v 7gpm pump drawing from 50gal tanks got my mixture down great 2 gals of sh 10% to the rest water. Works great and if sometimes I need a lot stronger mix I just dump another 1gal into tank. I want to try downstreaming or xjet but just afraid I won't get the right mixture. Just not sure how to do it.
New to the channel. Really love your hard work for charity man. Very inspiring. Your videos have gotten me thinking about starting a home washing business in my area of Oregon. Thank you for your great tips and advice. Keep up the hard work for those children! 👍
@38:30 I started beating the beat up to the house music like a goombah . The second house with the red brick with the maroon color with black window shutters. The homeowners have superb taste. I think you should paint your front door cherrywood color with the black shutters with the red mulch. Yes sir that's definitely a money making occupation and neighborhood. Salute 😎🤘🇮🇹
One thing this business has already taught me is that more people don’t give a shit about how there property looks than I expected, I hand out door hangers to 1/4-1/2 million dollar houses that have an inch of moss on there roof an they don’t give a fuuuuck lol
I have watched many of your video's, thanks for the information. I really didn't have any idea what I was doing getting into pressure washing, but you have truly been a great resource. My question is how do you secure your equipment, hoses, pressure washer, ect? I really like what you are doing, GREAT!!
Good video, thanks for posting it, it helps us a lot. I have a couple cuestions , what time of bleach do u use ? And what soap? Do u mixed them together?
WOW.. Dan...we are lucky to get a customer to have their DRIVEWAY cleaned..if you tried to charge for the pavement (sidewalk) then they would have an egg😁😁 ATB...Lee
So with the downstream injector, do you have your mixture of just bleach and dawn soap, or bleach, dawn soap, and water mixed? Im looking to get into this business, tryin to learn as much as possible beforehand. And also do you have to have anything else to do a soft wash, like a pump that can handle chemicals etc.
Thinking of trying pressure washing/soft washing as a primary source of income. Some really awesome and helpful videos from Dan and others however I haven't found anything pertaining to the type of pressure washer I have and how I could go about at least starting off with using it. I purchased it from Home Depot tool rental before knowing what I know now otherwise I may have went with something else. The unit I have I believe is commercial grade 4gpm however only 1400 psi and electric. Any suggestions, recommendations, advice or help would be appreciated.
Hi Dan, if this was a three or even four story house, would your pink tip be able to reach it? If not, could you possibly put the red tip on to reach further distances?
Look for the playlist titled, pressure wash business videos. I have a ton of information throughout those videos that you will find helpful and one of those will fit your exact situation. Tuesday night at 6 PM Eastern time I do live Q&A on my channel, so pop in and say hi and ask your questions live and we can answer them then as well. That’s every Tuesday night 6 PM Eastern time
I just hate it when it gets all clogged up ! Perhaps we should put them to work when they follow us around like that ! I had to compete with a fence crew the last house I did . We where in each other way the whole time . LOL
Or you can get bleach tips, depending on your pump you can reach 50 - 60 feet. where water goes so will the SH. Couple tips. Get color barrels that do not allow sunlight to weaken your SH. Hot bleacho is the best! Currently I shoot 13.5% pulling through a 2:3 injector. Thanks for your video!
Dan. Are you using 12% or 10% pool formula ? And are you just downstream infecting it from your pressure washer on low psi ? And what rate do you mix either ? Thanks buddy ! Much respect
I had to finally setup a buffer tank because a 30 minutes job turn to 90 minutes because i had to spray 2 second and wait about 5 second because of residential water.
I'd have to ask the customer to not follow me around. Tell them that the chemical can cause allergic reactions if in contact with it in some cases and is not good for it to be inhaled.
Can you remove the 1/4 inch male and replace it with a threaded 3/8 male and then just get the proper female 3/8 threaded to 3/8 female quick disconnect?
Hey Dan! You're videos have really helped me. The pressure washing industry is so secretive and condescending. I work EMS in Chatham County and am considering doing this full time. Do you think that it is possible to do this full time in Savannah?
So does using those nozzles in my pressure washer wand remove some of the pressure I hear you saying it's done with no pressure but aren't you using a pressure washer?
I am looking into starting pressure washing to earn money. I have hardly done any pressure washing, and don't know all the ins and outs yet. Your video seems pretty informative, but one thing is unclear to me: Why use a pressure washer when you are purposely trying to soft wash without much pressure? I messed around with a 2.5gpm pressure washer, seeing how it would do on the house. It turns out that my garden hose with a sprayer on the jet setting could reach high enough to clean the very top of the (2.5-story) house, but the pressure washer doesn't reach even that far, at least on lower-pressure, soap and rinse tips. The garden hose also supplies noticeably more water than the pressure washer, making the hose an obviously preferable way to soft wash. So why use a pressure washer? The water pressure in my area is definitely higher than typical, so is a garden hose usually not sufficient for tall houses? I'm also still looking around, trying to decide whether it makes sense to climb up and use pressure to clean as opposed to just chemical washing. If not, doesn't it make sense just to get a siphon injector that screws onto the spigot, and clean with a garden hose?
Hey Dan love the video .... washing house isn’t nearly as hard as some make it out to be but you could definitely get your self into trouble real quick with out some decent experience behind you !!! I caught you are using straight 10.5 you could probably cut it with some water to save on chemical use and still end up with great results ???
Probably can cut it down but I want to move along as fast as possible without damaging lawn and plants but also not having to second coat anything. It’s a Dan thing.
Nice Videos Dan, Im using the same thing with the pool essentials 10.5 from walmart. I also went ahead and got the Downstream injector that you recommend. But having trouble getting adjustment on it right, is it like a backwards screw? Trial an error, it almost seems like it shuts off when either fully out or in. Which way do you have it for the best application. Im with you on the get it done, and avoid 2nd round if i can.. time is money.. :)
Do you do one side at a time ( application chem then rinse). Do you have to be concerned about the chems drying before you rinse? Is there a concern about roof ( getting clean in areas you spray gables on additions) and changing shades compared to the remainder of roof? PS, Great vid THANK YOU and thanks for donating! GREAT GUY!!!!
You use 4gallon/min pressure, and I've seen the awesome results. I'll be using approx. 2gallon/min pressure. So I'm not sure if it'll give same results.
Hey Dan, I washed a house today that had old vinyl siding on it and it was really oxidized; do you know of a quick easy way to get rid of the oxidation?
Doing my research on what to charge sir, $800 for four houses so like $200 each not bad for little time. You comment that there is lots of money to be made. Do you have your why behind it?? I know you do lawn care as well but I tought I asked. Thanks
Why is there money to be made? Cause Pressure Washers is not something home owners usually have on hand. We can offer a fair price and get paid on the spot. I usually can get the sale if I get to speak to the homeowner. No one wants to live in mildew, they are scared of the price.
Dan's Vlog makes sense, there is another video of your where you have the magnets on your truck and have price on it. It's not even around $200.why the difference of $$$. Thanks
Upsell my friend, upsell!!! Once you make a good deal on the house wash at a good flat rate price then you try to add concrete patio or front porch or driveway and get the price up also try to get them to become a lawn service customer
Great video Dan, and I love the fact that you give back to St. Judes. It's always good to see people do the right thing.
Thank you very much

Are you still doing pressure washing videos
So with the downstream injector, do you have your mixture of just bleach and dawn soap, or bleach, dawn soap, and water mixed? Im looking to get into this business, tryin to learn as much as possible beforehand. And also do you have to have anything else to do a soft wash, like a pump that can handle chemicals etc.
thank for all the video tip
what kind of license do you need for this kind of job?
LLC for personal safety from law suits and an Occupational License in most states, counties and or cities.
Awesome stuff Dan!
Cool thank you
Thinking of trying pressure washing/soft washing as a primary source of income. Some really awesome and helpful videos from Dan and others however I haven't found anything pertaining to the type of pressure washer I have and how I could go about at least starting off with using it. I purchased it from Home Depot tool rental before knowing what I know now otherwise I may have went with something else. The unit I have I believe is commercial grade 4gpm however only 1400 psi and electric. Any suggestions, recommendations, advice or help would be appreciated.
Where do you get your 15 gallons of SH
In Savannah I go to Savannah Brush and Chemical on Ogeechee Road
What product is that in the 15 gallons jugs?
What mix do you use on the house?! Have you ever had problems with the bleach
How do you not see a bunch of oxidized spots
Great video thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Video helped me
Awesome!
Did you add any water in the bucket you put the SH in or it’s straight SH 2-4 ounces of the soap
Hi Dan, if this was a three or even four story house, would your pink tip be able to reach it? If not, could you possibly put the red tip on to reach further distances?
Can u leave info on chemical u us for houses would help alot.
Keep up the good work
Pedrin Herrera I have over 500 videos, you should watch some!! I speak on the chemicals in detail many times
I just subscribed to your channel still havent got chsnce get thru all your videos
Look for the playlist titled, pressure wash business videos. I have a ton of information throughout those videos that you will find helpful and one of those will fit your exact situation. Tuesday night at 6 PM Eastern time I do live Q&A on my channel, so pop in and say hi and ask your questions live and we can answer them then as well. That’s every Tuesday night 6 PM Eastern time
good info thank
Thank you
Great video as all ways thanks Dan !
Thanks man
I just hate it when it gets all clogged up ! Perhaps we should put them to work when they follow us around like that ! I had to compete with a fence crew the last house I did . We where in each other way the whole time . LOL
Dan look on eBay they have 6 ft and 8 ft wands that will give you much more distance with the blue and pink tips !
Or you can get bleach tips, depending on your pump you can reach 50 - 60 feet. where water goes so will the SH.
Couple tips. Get color barrels that do not allow sunlight to weaken your SH. Hot bleacho is the best! Currently I shoot 13.5% pulling through a 2:3 injector.
Thanks for your video!
Dan. Are you using 12% or 10% pool formula ?
And are you just downstream infecting it from your pressure washer on low psi ?
And what rate do you mix either ?
Thanks buddy ! Much respect
I had to finally setup a buffer tank because a 30 minutes job turn to 90 minutes because i had to spray 2 second and wait about 5 second because of residential water.
Yup! Glad you didn't burn up your pump
Hey Dan quick question for you when your washing a home are you drying the windows afterwards?
Dan why do you have to pull your syphon. Doesn’t it stop pulling sh with the rinse I’m learning. Tku for help
Cause most times the bucket has some in it still
I'd have to ask the customer to not follow me around. Tell them that the chemical can cause allergic reactions if in contact with it in some cases and is not good for it to be inhaled.
Where can you find a double female 1/4 to 3/8 quick disconnect brass
?
Can you remove the 1/4 inch male and replace it with a threaded 3/8 male and then just get the proper female 3/8 threaded to 3/8 female quick disconnect?
Hello Dan, thanks for providing these videos and information. Do you NOT need to pre-soak with water before applying your cleaning solution? Thanks
No need. The mix is mostly water anyways
Also, you have your hat on backwards. 😂😂👍🏿
Lol dang it
Wow dan awesome Job Looking great and that is great on the charity
Thank you Jorma
Hey Dan! You're videos have really helped me. The pressure washing industry is so secretive and condescending. I work EMS in Chatham County and am considering doing this full time. Do you think that it is possible to do this full time in Savannah?
So does using those nozzles in my pressure washer wand remove some of the pressure I hear you saying it's done with no pressure but aren't you using a pressure washer?
Yes it does. 1 month of knowledge added. The soap nozzles are less pressure so it can pull from the injector.
I am looking into starting pressure washing to earn money. I have hardly done any pressure washing, and don't know all the ins and outs yet. Your video seems pretty informative, but one thing is unclear to me: Why use a pressure washer when you are purposely trying to soft wash without much pressure? I messed around with a 2.5gpm pressure washer, seeing how it would do on the house. It turns out that my garden hose with a sprayer on the jet setting could reach high enough to clean the very top of the (2.5-story) house, but the pressure washer doesn't reach even that far, at least on lower-pressure, soap and rinse tips. The garden hose also supplies noticeably more water than the pressure washer, making the hose an obviously preferable way to soft wash. So why use a pressure washer? The water pressure in my area is definitely higher than typical, so is a garden hose usually not sufficient for tall houses? I'm also still looking around, trying to decide whether it makes sense to climb up and use pressure to clean as opposed to just chemical washing. If not, doesn't it make sense just to get a siphon injector that screws onto the spigot, and clean with a garden hose?
what soap do you use great video by the way
Dawn and Thank You
Hey Dan love the video .... washing house isn’t nearly as hard as some make it out to be but you could definitely get your self into trouble real quick with out some decent experience behind you !!! I caught you are using straight 10.5 you could probably cut it with some water to save on chemical use and still end up with great results ???
Probably can cut it down but I want to move along as fast as possible without damaging lawn and plants but also not having to second coat anything. It’s a Dan thing.
Nice Videos Dan, Im using the same thing with the pool essentials 10.5 from walmart. I also went ahead and got the Downstream injector that you recommend. But having trouble getting adjustment on it right, is it like a backwards screw? Trial an error, it almost seems like it shuts off when either fully out or in. Which way do you have it for the best application. Im with you on the get it done, and avoid 2nd round if i can.. time is money.. :)
Do you do one side at a time ( application chem then rinse). Do you have to be concerned about the chems drying before you rinse? Is there a concern about roof ( getting clean in areas you spray gables on additions) and changing shades compared to the remainder of roof? PS, Great vid THANK YOU and thanks for donating! GREAT GUY!!!!
I do the whole house and then rinse the whole house. The roof would require a much stronger mix so there is no issues with discoloration
The Great Dan... Awesome video!
Does it make a difference using SH on paving/patio?
I would just use my surface cleaner and move along fast so I don’t ruin the sand - grout
You use 4gallon/min pressure, and I've seen the awesome results. I'll be using approx. 2gallon/min pressure. So I'm not sure if it'll give same results.
It should, ya might just have to move a little slower
Watched the whole thing
Cool, thank you
Please show the actual equipment? I really learned a lot Thanks
Hey Dan, I washed a house today that had old vinyl siding on it and it was really oxidized; do you know of a quick easy way to get rid of the oxidation?
does the blue tip also draw soap?
Amen, the difference between cheap hoes and quality ones is so important.
Lol yup!
Doing my research on what to charge sir, $800 for four houses so like $200 each not bad for little time. You comment that there is lots of money to be made. Do you have your why behind it?? I know you do lawn care as well but I tought I asked. Thanks
Why is there money to be made? Cause Pressure Washers is not something home owners usually have on hand. We can offer a fair price and get paid on the spot. I usually can get the sale if I get to speak to the homeowner. No one wants to live in mildew, they are scared of the price.
Dan's Vlog makes sense, there is another video of your where you have the magnets on your truck and have price on it. It's not even around $200.why the difference of $$$. Thanks
Upsell my friend, upsell!!! Once you make a good deal on the house wash at a good flat rate price then you try to add concrete patio or front porch or driveway and get the price up also try to get them to become a lawn service customer
Hi Dan , I was wondering if you run your pressure washer at full speed when you are washing? Or do you adjust the speed as you rise. Thank you !
It’s always full speed
hey nice job
Thank you
