1.5 Miles of sidewalk softwashed

I use to LOVE those big sidewalk jobs. I use to tease the customers we would throw in the liquid edger in for free.

The only negative about a thorough Softwash cleaning is the longevity of the results. You know those sidewalks will stay clean for a long time now so I'll probably not pick up that portion of the job next year.

What chemicals are you using on those side walks?

.2% SH solution, Greenwash, and a liquid laundry soap.

I'm always impressed Ray, inspires me everyday to aim for those commercial jobs.

What is the percentage of SH needed to actually clean concrete. I'm assuming it would be a roof mix but due to killing grass I never tried it.

4% available SH or CH. CH works even better on concrete because of its white washing effect and less grass burn. Also you can save burn by tracing the walks in from the outside in.

Calcium Hypochlorite, powder bleach.

I am seeing stripes on the 5/5 photo, it looks like its from a surface cleaner...Did you us that first before SWash or is that from last years job?

Ray Burke · Community Member

Yes Laurie...that was form last years job, when we only pressure washed with water. ON the left side of that picture, you can see those marks have already disappeared with the softwashing.

Wow, nice work! Did you return to see how much grass kill you got (if any) and how far out from the sidewalk on average there was????

John Smith · Lead Tech Certified

You might not get that job next year, but doing a good job only gets you one thing, more work. Good job

I had zero grass kill and just a tiny bit of browning, however I planned my work around the landscapers schedule, so any brown spots were trimmed/ edged within 2 days
