What's up, guys! Welcome back to the channel. Whether you've been in the exterior cleaning business for a while or you're just starting out, you've probably run into the challenge of dealing with oxidation. This can be particularly frustrating when standard cleaning solutions like sodium hypochlorite (SH) or high-pressure washing just won't cut it. We all know the horror stories of overusing pressure and ending up with damaged surfaces—Zoro striping anyone?
Well, I've got some exciting news for you. Southeast Softwash has just released a new chemical called Ox-Knox, and let me tell you, this stuff is a game changer. Today, we're going to use it to tackle a heavily oxidized door, complete with plenty of fallout—those stubborn grime deposits that regular cleaners can't touch.
If you're considering starting a pressure washing business or just want to up your game, understanding how to properly mix chemicals, use the right equipment, and protect property is crucial. I highly recommend checking out our "How to Wash" course. It covers everything from residential cleaning techniques to surface protection, and it’s packed with invaluable tips. You can find the link in the comment section and description below.
Now, let's get to work. I've got my trusty cigar in hand (you know the drill), and we're ready to apply Ox-Knox directly to this wall. Now, I can't give you the exact dilution ratios—you’ll need to test it yourself to ensure the substrate is safe, especially with different paints. We've used Ox-Knox on colored vinyl and unpainted surfaces with great results, and today, we're going straight to the source on this door.
One thing to note: Ox-Knox isn’t designed to remove bat guano. If that’s your problem, this might not be the solution you’re looking for. Remember, oxidation is our target, not doo-doo.
After applying Ox-Knox, we let it dwell for about five to ten minutes, depending on the severity of the oxidation and fallout. I'm a bit impatient, so I often cut it short, but for best results, you should let it sit for the full duration.
Once it’s had time to work its magic, it's time to rinse. As you can see from the results, the difference is night and day. This door, which was once grimy and neglected, now looks significantly better—not brand new, but a vast improvement without any need for scrubbing. We simply applied the product, let it dwell, and rinsed it off with a ball valve.
If you're dealing with oxidation or fallout, I highly recommend getting yourself a gallon (or more) of Ox-Knox from Southeast Softwash. You won’t regret it.
Happy cleaning, and see you in the next one!
