Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 30, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Spin's thread makes for a good one talking about more products we like. Post products that go above and beyond your expectations. Wet and forget. Spray on and forget it. No scrubbing, no pressure washing. Can take a few weeks or more but it really works with 1 or sometimes 2 applications. Works great on shingles as well. Takes a bit of time to work but man does it. Works a bit quicker if you have more sun but doesn't need full sun. One of the few things I've seen to remove black mold from concrete. Also reduces the regrowth of mold as well. 5 star in my book.

Doorider Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I do soft washing as a side gig. I used pool shock as my base, 12.5% SH. Mix that with some house wash addatives and downstream mix it to about 1-2٪ and the green and dirt just melts off. No waiting and siding comes out perfect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doorider Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I charge about $200 to do a house. Typically takes about 1.5 hours or less and about $4 worth of chemicals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit surprised that's safe for plants. How's it work on concrete/stone? Edited June 30, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I water down plants before and after just to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool shock is a highly efffective microbial solution but the fumes can be overwhelming to some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it work on vinyl siding? I’ve got some very stubborn stains on the south side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mix it with a product called Elemonator. It does a pretty good job of masking the bleach smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got some very stubborn stains on the south side. Yes very well. Just be patient with it and follow the directions. Its literally spray on and let it sit. I got a white vinyl garage door on the north side of my shop that that had significant black mold stains growing. Its perfect now after a few weeks. Its only downfall is the cost. About $30 for a bottle that will mix up a 3 gallon garden sprayer. Edited June 30, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work and it only requires like a teaspoon or 2 but you have to mix it with some surfactant and a dye which works great because you can see exactly where you sprayed it. It is not cheap but if you use it right it will last for years. Apply it when the weeds are growing and in a week or so you will start to see them die off. I applied it twice last year and it eliminated all of the creeping charlie my weed farmer neighbor had coming in my yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacity will also kill Poa Annua if mixed properly and leave the blue and rye alone. Poa is my Achilles heel in my yard. Hate the fucking stuff. Tenacity can kill everything if over applied. Use with care. Trimec is the best 2-4D yard week killer for just broadleafs. Doyourownpestcontrol.com is a great place to shop for hard to get chems.
