Another thing to make note of, be sure to spray down trees, shrubs, bushes and any other type of landscaping that you don’t want to die, after you have sprayed on your Sodium Hydroxide mix. 👍
hey man I'm no master at wood but I pre wet wood just so the sh only cleans the surface . after this process after you rinse really well throw some oxalic acid on the wood 8oz to 1 gallon of water to brighten then rinse again the results are amazing!
@@johnnymata523 SH, Sodium Hypochlorite, Liquid Chlorine, Laundry Bleach, etc. This chemical is used in many ways in the pressure washing industry to make some serious cash. Contractors are using bleach for treating mold and algae from houses, roofs, gutters, driveways, and large concrete areas.
Looks good. Always saturate your fence really really good. And then your SH does not penetrate the wood and dry it from the inside out. You'll just clean the exterior surface. It's very important to wet the wood first. But it's a learning process. Keep up the good work
And you'll learn about oxalic acid to neutralize and 'brighten' the fence. Bleaching it turns it a fake looking white. When you brighten it and then rinse it, it will go back to Bright but natural look.
Make sure to wet grass beneath the fence. SH will kill vegetation. The good thing about sh is it penetrates the wood., but i recommend rinsing. High alkaline will make surfaces yellow. I would finish the job, after rinsing, with oxalic acid to neutralize alkali and oxalic will whiten the wood even more.
What product could I use that would be safe for pets outside ? I know I’ll try and wash the most of the excess away but you never know what would self dilute itself after some time of it sitting in grass or concrete ?
@@dougsmith8950 actually no it didn’t. I did water it down pretty good afterwards though. To be honest I didn’t care if the grass around the edge of the bottom of the fence died because I like to keep the grass cleared from it anyways.
Im pretty sure most people are leaning away from using bleach on wood these days. Ive always used it when cleaning decks, and exterior trim but when researching some products i came across many articles demonstrating how bleach can destroy wood. From now on i will try sodium percarbonate followed by vinegar for wood cleaning. Im sure people will disagree with me but do your own research and you can decide, good luck with your business.
Dee El Not necessarily. It's not good for wood if you put it on Drywood because it will saturate the wood and it can do damage on the inside. If you wet the wood first, now the bleach only affects the top layer or the exterior if you will, and you're killing the mold spores, and then youre immediately rinsing it away
Would like to get some feedback regarding the chemicals effect on the other side of the fence. Do your customers neighbors get streaks running down their side from overspray?
Hi , I'm in the UK where not many people have pools so are not familiar with pool equipment . Please can you confirm the active chemical in your SH . Is it sodium hypochlorite (bleach)? thanks .
A Full 2-gallons is 100% liquid. He used 20% bleach, so 80% water. The strength of the bleach is also important so you know the actual strength of the bleach-water mix you're spraying.
I'm planning to stain with Behr All-in-One our new fence and not sure if you need to prewash a new pickets (they were washed 2 times by the rain and look very good). Thank you for your film.
Have you tried using Sodium percarbonate instead of bleach(SH)? Bleach is tough on the wood as well as the grass on the lawn. Well, actually bleach is tough on everything it touches...
Do you have to neutralize the SH after applying it if your going to stain with a semi transparent stain after treatment? If so does just rinsing with water work? Or do you need to use vinegar or something like it first before rinsing with water ?

Can I get links of the SH and oxalic acid u buy?
I will give that a shot. Thanks!
What Sh you recommend?? Any links ??

@@The15239 bleach is a not the best for cleaning mold with the best way is not to let it mold in the first place start like that

I think a up and down motion when spraying to get better results.
What product could I use that would be safe for pets outside ? I know I’ll try and wash the most of the excess away but you never know what would self dilute itself after some time of it sitting in grass or concrete ?
Always pre-wet all surfaces
Put like 6oz of liquid soap or dish detergent to make the sh run down slower. Add like 4 to 6oz for every 2 gallon of water 3:40
Update: I’ve change my mix ratio to about 35% and it made it even better!
Can I use 35% Pool Essentials (10% SH) and the rest water.
I'm learning and experimenting on my own home before I take a class.
Thank you in advance
Yes, play with concentration and you’ll get results.
Did it kill your grass?

Does it leak into the neighbords side of the fence? Looking to softwash our fences soon...
That Make a definite to the wood fence you can see the difference in it that wood be good job to do 👍👍✌
Michael Phelps I think adding it would be great as well! Thank you for the feedback please subscribe if you’re not already:)
Does SH damage plants?
Did you add some soap to the mix to make it stick a little better?
No, I did not know to do that:) Makes since from what I've been reading. Thanks for bring that up Mike!
Pre wet the wood
Would like to get some feedback regarding the chemicals effect on the other side of the fence. Do your customers neighbors get streaks running down their side from overspray?
Ummm... the neighbor doesn't own the other side of the fence... ever!
@@joshuah.9687 The neighbor doesn't own his side of the fence?
@@shanerRC if you paid to install a fence around your yard, what makes you think that the other 3 neighbors now own their side of your fence?
What about neighbors that split costs to replace an old fence, shared by all sides?
Where can I buy the product and what's the name of it please someone answer me
it is called 30 seconds outdoor cleaner.
I bought it from Home Depot about 1 gallon it really do work but you have to keep it for like more than 5 minute on the wood
Is this pressure treated pine wood ?
Hi , I'm in the UK where not many people have pools so are not familiar with pool equipment . Please can you confirm the active chemical in your SH . Is it sodium hypochlorite (bleach)? thanks .
Yes it's SH
Under pressure powerwashing 🤔 I've heard of that company before?
Well overused name in the industry. I've counted 70-80 nationwide.
Yeah, I used that name like 17 years ago. I am old school:)
Do you buy in bulk
What percent sh did you use? And what does 20% sh mean in a 2 gallon pump sprayer
A Full 2-gallons is 100% liquid. He used 20% bleach, so 80% water. The strength of the bleach is also important so you know the actual strength of the bleach-water mix you're spraying.
What is the solution you used?
@The narrow path nine months ago. Be easy
I'm planning to stain with Behr All-in-One our new fence and not sure if you need to prewash a new pickets (they were washed 2 times by the rain and look very good). Thank you for your film.
I would prewash to remove any dust
@@ohjay7962 Thank you. I did w/some fence wash, come out nice.
I have a question about what is sh and where do you buy it.
That worked incredibly fast and looks great! Did you use 12.5% SH in your sprayer? I've subbed your channel! Cheers - Luther
Can this be used on a wood fence that's been stained ?
Where do you buy oxalic acid?
What product did you use?
do i have to rinse this stuff off if im going to come back the next day and shoot stain?
Your guess is as good as mine at this point. I would say yes:)
Yes bc the wood will dry out the longer the sh is on it. Always pre soak the wood and rinse after
Have you tried using Sodium percarbonate instead of bleach(SH)? Bleach is tough on the wood as well as the grass on the lawn. Well, actually bleach is tough on everything it touches...
Wha'ts the product called?
What is Sh ?
What is this stuff??
What is SH ?
Amazing.
After you spray it with the sprayer and you let it set do you rinse it off with clear water?
Yes otherwise if rain doesn't come you may cause damage as the strength vs wood can be too much
Do you have to neutralize the SH after applying it if your going to stain with a semi transparent stain after treatment? If so does just rinsing with water work? Or do you need to use vinegar or something like it first before rinsing with water ?
In the end of the vid you can see he rinsed the fence
where do you buy sh
He's yummy!!! I'm subscribing!
Can i leave my remainder oxalic acid mix in a container and use it the following day ?
Thanks, Gerry from San Diego, CA
👍
Am I the only one who does not know what SH is ?
No, what the heck is SH?
SH = Sodium Hypochlorite
A.k.a. Bleach
Dilute Pool chlorine with water will do the job
Sodium Hypochlorite is chlorine bleach ( stronger, usually what people are talking about)
Sodium hydroxide is oxygen bleach
(Less strong, but safer )
Mmmm ... and what is SH?
What’s S H?
What is SH that you refer to?
It’s bleach
Where did you get the Sodium hypochlorite?
Any pool store
Hello what dod you use?
I used SH (pool bleach) and water for this test.
You just need a surfactant so it stays "wet"
What??? Explain.
Surfactant - Liquid Soap like Dawn or Gain DISH Soap, just a little bit (1 or 2 big squeezes of the soap container)
sodium hypochlorite primary ingredient in bleach
Instead of spraying across...go up and down.
look up Wood Master
Does this cleaner kill plants and bushes?
Just to be on the safe side, pre soak plants/ bushes with plenty of water since some vegetation is sensitive enough that it could be harmed by the SH
Dude Oxalic on wood not sh
What is sh?
You should wet wood 1st
What %SH are you using here? 12.5% or 10%
I am not sure now:( I used pool SH from Walmart.
@@SunSweepingServices thats 10% says on the bottom of the Gal.
Sodium Hydroxide. (SH)
