I'm retired now 2 years. I have been power washing house and other things for 3 years. Anyway the older I get makes the ladder time harder and harder. I must say I like your point blank and bluntness. Not only do I like that I like the idea of you telling me how I can do this side line on a scale that I can work with.
My set up is a Simmons power washer and a little red garden wagon with all my tips and hoses plus the cems that I use. Its a small set up but works nicely with my handy man service that I have. Easy to off load and on load for the next job. (On and off my trailer) thanks again for your video
Did my 1st house wash Saturday. It turned out great.
Congratulations Brian! Well done!!
I like this guy, he doesn't pretend to know it all, but for sure knows his stuff.
I bet this guy appreciates you!!
Dan, I like your channel because you tell it like it is. I’ve been watching a lot of CZcams power washing channels most of them are just trying to sell you something. Kudos to you sir.
I appreciate that
now every time I drive I look at houses and see how dirty they are and I have seen a ton in my area and no company's out there doing it. I'm starting in 2017 I should do good where I am.
Sweet. Go for it
How has it gone ?
I have been brainstorming. Starting a yard care service with pressure washing on the menu.. nice videos
I like your simple set up.Very nice indeed. 1 hour to do it all ! Sorry we slowed you down but you make me want to start this business .
Go for it!
What if they got a 5,000 square foot house?
Hey man. I love your videos. Getting me pumped for this spring season here in Nashville TN. As a former pest control application I may advise when doing your pre walk to also take not of bird feeders or baths and remove/cover them so no overspray will get in them. Your the man! Keep up the good content bud!
Thank You Randal
Dan's Vlog also I love at how you respond! Thanks bud! #WashOn
Thanks for the video. Used the same formula today. Most of the houses in this neighborhood need washing. People come by and just look at what I’m doing. Their car is clean and waxed but house has all this green algae on it, got their priorities mixed up. They spend $600.00 having someone wash and wax their car but can’t pay me $400.00 to wash their house once a year.Funny.
I like that set up. No trailer needed just a nice wood pallet and you're set.
Bro, you're about to hit 5 million views!!! Salute!! 💪😎
good video's, I'm learning a lot. What do you use to remove oxidation on steel siding? Thanks.
What a good father u r telling ur ex wife to take the kids to safe my hat is off to u FATHER OF THE Year u r Dan
16:30 _Wow thanks Dan i've never thought about pvc pipe to hold down the siphon lol. I've went to the tacky extreme and gorilla taped mine down once also used fishing weights 😂😂_
Great video's Dan you have saved me $300+ as I will be the one washing my house from now on! Thanks alot!
Awesome
Hello dan, I use a high/low nozzle, what that does is change the pressure as the name just from high pressure (water) to low pressure for siphoning. It potential he save a few minutes per job from having to switch nozzles will pull your siphoning rig to start rinsing. Real neat and I think it's worth looking into for you.
+Nathaniel Miller Thank you but it should be said, I don't use high pressure ever. I always use low pressure (black and pink tips only). I just turn off the siphon when I rinse.
Hi dan glad you're doing well. Much love
Great video. How do you get the chemical flowing through the pressure system. From my understanding you connect the pump to the customers Spicket on the in Port of the pump and then have the second hose on the out port to the sprayer. Where in the flow Do you get the chemicals from? Does it have something to do with the siphon you mention and if so, how does that work. This is probably an obvious question but I have zero experience. Thanks
I like to do the lawn care but also like the pressure washing.The hurricane is all on the news here in my part of Georgia the news guy was on 75 here close to me saying all of the hotels are booked Savanna was under a watch. Actually the news guys was right there next to a building and I work next door to it.BE SAFE Dan. It might a good idea to look at the date on the bleach at Walmart because it might have been there for a while.
\At how old should I NOT buy Walmart bleach ??
bleach wont damage the shingles or the flowers and bushes on the bottom and you do the same to bricks and pavers with bleach and soap
I enjoyed this video & learned a lot
Excellent job Dan!!
Thank you
I've been watching your vlog about pressure washing your house. I noticed you use it on vinyl houses. We have a log siding house and need to know if wood can be pressure washed the same way.
Hey Dan, what tips did you use to “Rinse” the whole house?
36:25 You not worried about bleaching that grill cover?
Hi Dan, this is the first time I have come across your page. I’ve yet to get through the whole video which I’m going to continue in just a minute but my very first thought is how I love your set up. Very simple and very doable for me based on what I currently have. Nothing over the top yet very functional. What state are you located in? I look forward to watching more of your videos.
i never could get that distance with a 4GPM machine and I had several different high reach nozzles to include the pink tip.
Dan is the man.
how do you stay in business at $79 a house?
thumbs up DAN! Your videos have really inspired me, and shown me that I can do this. Thank you for your time, and effort.
YOU CAN do this Justin. Get out there and make some $$
Awesome idea on the yard sign while you are working. 👏🏾🖒🏾
Yard sign? Ya man, it works
Love your informative attitude
It’s great 👍
Keep it up
love your videos really helping me out. i am thinking about getting into the business after watching your videos.
Did you get into the business?
I like that thumbs up cut out. Btw i m thankful for you also. 😁
Thank you Andrea!
Brilliant information mate!. starting a cleaning business in Scotland UK.. Steve
Very detail, thanks alot Dan!
Thank you I appreciate you addressing my concern.
Awesome video Dan. Always learn alot from watching them.
Great! Thank you!
hello, quick question. Is it safe to use bleach on painted house, what if the sides are not white, does the bleach damage the paint??
Marinald Haxhillari good question!
Marinald Haxhillari nope. you can use SH on just about any exterior surface
Marinald Haxhillari I use bleach the way I dilute it on just about everything. paint and vinyl
Bleach isn't a solvent, so it's o.k. to use on painted surfaces.
Marinald Haxhillari bleach does not hurt paint or any other surfaces basically just kill the mold
Do you think a 3% mix with 10% SH wouldn’t damage window’s and plant’s? And what percentage of SH are you using? Please. Your video’s are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you much 💪🏼🙏
What is a 3% mix? You watching other idiots giving dumb info about “percentage at the tip”? Do exactly what I say I have been doing for years.
On average sir, how long does it take you to wash a house 1 story and 2 story at those type of property values in that community? Love your work man. You're a blessing man.
Less than an hour for almost any size home.
awesome video, simple and useful, thanks
Oh ok thanks for the come back
Thanks for taking the time to film !
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment!
Hey dan ! I just wanna remind you of how awesome and smart you're ! Keep the videos coming !
LOL, you wrote "you're"... should be "you are".... I know this cause I am awesome and smrt...
Ahaha thanks dan ! My spelling sucks !
Last question, does 2.7 gpm just mean I have to get closer to the surface in order to have the same effect as a 4 gpm? Or does gpm just limit how far the water can travel (not the strength)
OK let me try to explain this to you in a way that hopefully won’t confuse you. Gallons per minute and pressure are two very different things. The lower the pressure the closer you might have to stand to clean something off like old gum on a concrete sidewalk. You would use the pressure to peel off the gum. Gallons per minute has nothing to do with pressure and everything to do with volume. The more volume you’re working with the faster you can clean. Imagine you’re standing at the beach and a 5 foot wave hits you. That’s a certain amount of volume. Now compare that to a 2 foot wave hitting you… A lot less volume. Now as you watch my videos using the black tip and the pink tip… My 4 gallon per minute pump is pushing a certain amount of volume, there is no pressure because the black tip and the pink tip pretty much allow for free flow otherwise the siphon would not work right? Your 2.7 gallons per minute pump will also free flow, but it’s flowing with a lot less volume. I have a 5 foot waves hitting the side of the house while you would have a 2 foot waves hitting the side of the house. Which wave or gallon per minute is going to help you move faster while cleaning? Keep in mind pressure has nothing to do with volume. Now add to that a 2 foot wave is only going to travel so far up the beach where as a 5 foot wave will travel much farther up the beach… Neither wave has any pressure behind it, only volume… The 5 foot wave will hit the second story (peak) where a 2 foot wave will not
I have Mold & mildew on 20 year kinda faded old guttering. You think what you did with this houses gutters and set up could clean up these gutters?
Thanks! Awesome video's Mr. Dan
I've tried Mold Armor. Chomps cleaner and others. At witts end man. lol
Easy ass BRILLIANT set up!!!!
Thank you
Based on my 50/50 test with household bleach on concrete, it's going to discolor any areas affected by the run off on the concrete back/front porch and driveway yes? In that case do you use that as a selling point to pressure washing the concrete or is it considered collateral damage if they choose not to?
Thanks Dan!
Thanks for the video, this answered my question.
Great!
Lol I ran that surface cleaner for a summer. You've GOT to step your game up to a BE 20"
Dan, Thank you for these videos ( how do I send private message) never done this.
Great video and great information thanks for that will really help. Keep up the good work. Stay safe with the weather
Thank you buddy
Dan I dumped a couple k into getting pressure washer setup. Didn't need new mowers this year so let that be one of my equipment purchases. No need to give it to the government might as well spend it and grow the business. Looking forward to washing through the winter.
Great job!
Yep saw that a ig... hope you make good money this winter with the pressure washing and what couple of snow storms we well get.
watched a few of your videos. Thanks for sharing the info.
You’re welcome!
Great vid! Siphoning in the soap… do u need a special pump connection for that?
Is the orange sanitation truck at 30:48 the company you worked for years later? If so, what a coincidence!!! Lol.
No it isn't
What do you do if the customer has air conditioners in the window?
The Handsome Hustla Don’t pressure wash the air conditioner
Probably temporarily remove the AC and close the window during the job.
Dan great video, I like your mindset no b/s straight up do the jobs, get done and collect your money. Do you ever need to use hot water for pressure washing.
hi Dan. love blessings and great health to you this week.
i see. have a great morning!
But what about mustard gas 😫 28:38....🤣👍
Dan what is the rule when shooting at doors and windows. Reason for the question. Cleaner and water getting inside.
Low pressure at all times but if not low pressure, spray on an angle rather than directly at the seems
Well explained thank you good job
Does bleach or other "home armor" solvents ruin or mess up solar screens on homes? Wondering for a customer next week. They are nervous and I am tracking down an answer. Thank you! Because of your videos, I have started my own side hustle in my neighborhood exclusively of 1000 homes, and 1 month in, business is good so far! Thanks for all the great videos! Hope all is going well!
Hey that is great news about starting your business, good luck I wish you the best. To get to your question, I do not know what home armor it so I cannot speak to any other solutions for chemicals but I can confidently say from my experience the recipe that I recommend with the 10.5% or less sodium hypochlorite is not going to damage the solar screens on your customers homes. If it’s very concerning to you, avoid spraying the windows directly and rinse it off as you apply your bleach to each side of the house before moving on to the next side
@@DansVlog Thank you! I have a simple (non commercial) 3.2gpm/3200 psi Simpson set up in addition to my (2yr old) backup Briggs/Stratton at the moment. It is a simple basic residential PW setup. I have since accumulated many needed items... 18ft pole, all tips, foam gun if needed, 50 ft hoses and much needed surface cleaner for driveways. Also, I had a plugged nozzle in the surface cleaner (disc) and called the manufacturer after only having a week, and they honored their 90 day warranty, so basically (with a quick fix) now have 2! My main game is driveways, patios, sidewalk, curbs on weekends as I have a full time 8-5 job. I got 2 kiddos and found out recently, I will be having a 3rd later this year. Time to kick it up a notch!
My HOA just sent out a notice for all residents to get on top of the mold and mildew on the houses or get the letters! (great for me). In biz for one month, and my phone is ringing as I am getting recommendations online (nextdoor). Not much invested in marketing (except magnets and biz cards) I have watched many of your videos and appreciate all your knowledge! I have been to walmart and picked up 6 gallons of the cheap concentrate (pool bleach) you recommend. The home armor is the green jog that is basic proprietary soap and bleach to try out bc I am new at this. Prob a one time buy. Anyway, I have no down stream injector and will have to learn tricks for now about application of "soap" on homes with 2 stories. Over time I will gain confidence and knowledge and get the hang of this in no time! Maybe in a few months I will want to get a truck mounted deal as well. Again, thanks for the reply and the great DIY videos! Hope all is well with you and your kids! Keep the videos coming!
I have the 2 gal pump sprayer at the moment which made applying the bleach and dawn to wooden fencing a breeze! Now I have to master 1 and 2 story homes.
what license and what insurance? do you need to wash a house?
Business license in your county and city and general liability insurance.
Lol mustard gas ….. really . He was upset haha
People are nutz
You said don't leave bleach on the air conditioner. You just spray bleach on the front grass then on the side plants of the home. They'll be Brown by the end of the week😂😂🤣 but I do love your content keep up the good work
So ya think the plants went brown? Been doing this for many years.... I bet I have a clue with what I am doing.
Good luck brother
Hey bud great work! Question, I know you said you put aBout 3 gallons of 8.25 bleach in the bucket so your not mixing the water and bleach together. How do you know how much bleach and water is being mix when siphoned? Thx bud!
My injector at the pump is a 20:1 but I don’t honestly care about ratios. The name of the game is save save save. Apply the chemicals as thin as possible and add only if needed til you find a recipe that works. For me and my pump and my technique, I run from 10% down to 7% straight with no diluting and I let my siphon do the mixing (20:1). If the house is not bad, I might run 2 gls 10% and 1 gl water in a bucket and then downstream it.
Hi buddy I'm still thinking of you. Love you and blessings.
Hey quick question is the bleach safe for around plants or are there any special concerns with houses and plants. I’m just starting out and your helping a ton
+MrFrenchtoast69 Mix it thin like I suggest and you should be ok. Don’t be afraid to wet the plants well first if they seem delicate
Great video I have a question about when you pull your siphon tube and are ready to do the rent do you plug the downstream siphon
the pink nozzle with tha blue comes in a package from lowes on line
I'm 14 and I had the same exact things happen and those numbing drops do hurt. The thing was I got a metal shard and it causes a rust ring to form in your eye which is scary
Great videos! I have a question about the chemicals you use for washing houses and driveways. My question is are you worried about bleach, dish soap, or any other chemicals you use, killing grass, bushes etc.?
Not the way I mix it. Watch my Pressure Wash Business playlist. Lots of questions answered
@@DansVlog will do, thanks
Great Video!! Great Music! Learned A LOT!
+Jim Lutz Thank you
Dan, doing a house near the bay next week. the concrete is really dirty, can i use bleach with a surface cleaner, run a 4 gpm dewalt/honda
No need for bleach, just use the surface cleaner. However, When you’re using the surface cleaner it’s putting back pressure in the hose so it is not going to siphon. The siphon will only suck and bleach and detergent if you’re using the black tip or the pink tip. When people use bleach and chemicals on driveways and sidewalks they first spray it down with the black tip and then they put the surface cleaner on and then they start working
This would be one satisfying job to do. Are you not concerned spraying that bleach mixture around the flowers and birdbath?
Not at all. It is very diluted
Hey dan. Thanks for making this post! I love it and your channel! I am having a difficult time getting the algae off of tin gutters and was wondering if you could help any? Thanks!!!
What tips did you use for the soft wash on that house
very good stuff my good man!
thanks bud
Yes sir! Love your stuff! Gelps me with my small business :)
Hey Dan , do you have a video on how to do a bypass on the pressure washer to avoid keep pushing the trigger on the gun?
They come with an unloader valve already
Is that mean my don't need one or?
It should already have one. This should help: czcams.com/video/65iTsSjutf8/video.html
Ok, thanks for replying back to me,wasnt trying to sound ignorant,l work for a major water company here in St.louis and you would be suprised at all of the bitching that goes on about using a little bit of their water from their spickets,thanks again and hope all is well with the hurricane situation.
You arent ignorant... that is a good question.
FULL LEAF and lawn clean up, house wash AND surface cleaning for $300? Wow! I'm charging no less than $500! Depending on height and siding it might be $700 or more! That's alot of work, I KNOW. Great lessons nonetheless!
A lot has to do with market and region. Thank you bud
@@DansVlog sales skills as well.
what surfaces can I use bleach on? Aluminum siding? should they move their cars out of the driveway?
Dan"s I"m confused, the pressure washer dilutes 20:1 when is used the hose for soap/bleach, so, what can you tell me about that and the mix of the bleach/dawn. thanls
What kind of soap u use and how much soap and bleach do I mix????
Tons of useful info like how I mix bleach and for what strength SH - czcams.com/play/PLZKQKrwEGP-AT_V2PA-c7-YrAibdtbzPr.html
Hey Can I have a two story house .Front is heavily oxidized.I don't want to climb a ladder is there any way I can do itmyself?
Do you put any water in the bucket or is it just bleach and soap?
That pump you didn't remember the name Dan is AR (Anovi Reverberi) great Italian pump, but I was surprised to see in your pump say Made in P.R.C. I thought they were made in Italy.
Heck if I know!
Hey Dan thank you so much for all your insight and wisdom. I have a question hopefully you can help. I’m going to wash my house and I’m using a 4000 psi 3.5 gpm machine. If I down stream 5 gallons of 10% sh with a pink tip at a 15/1 flow rate, is that too hot a mix? Again thank you!!
Sorry applying with the black tip
Thanks...VERY Informative! I'm going to try this out in a few days. One question for you, how long do you let the chemicals sit on the house prior to rinsing?
15-20 minutes
@@DansVlog Thank you!
Yes that is right. Where do I get an injector??
+Russell Winchester look at the links I have below this video. I have all that stuff listed
What attachment do I need to house wash with a 4/4 pressure washer?
Thanks for the videos Dan, they're interesting to watch and I've learned a lot. I have a window cleaning business and have been washing some siding with just brushes and rinsing with a hose, its labour intensive and takes a lot out of a guy. I'm watching you clean a house in a 1/4 of the time or less than it takes me. I have a pressure washer, it's a 3000psi, 3gpm unit, will this work for what you're doing, or do I need a 4gpm unit?
You can make some serious cash soft washing a house and it only takes 1 to 1.5hrs if you know what you're doing. 3000 psi should be sufficient.
Hey Dan... Great videos. I'm thinking about getting into the business and the flat rate model seems a great way to build a business quick. But was wondering what your rates look like for driveway or sidewalk cleaning? Do you flat rate it and or calculate with a different method?
