Hey there, Southeast Softwash community! Today, we’re tackling a big question that many homeowners and contractors face: Can you remove oxidation from HardiePlank siding without brushing? Spoiler alert: Yes, you can—and we’re going to show you how using our newest chemical, Ox-Knox.
This house we visited recently had some serious oxidation and even some hail damage on its HardiePlank siding. The homeowner initially considered repainting, but after seeing what Ox-Knox could do, repainting is no longer on the table—just a good cleaning!
Why Ox-Knox?
Oxidation can make your siding look dull, chalky, and worn out. Traditionally, removing it involved lots of scrubbing and sweat, but Ox-Knox changes the game. It’s a brushless oxidation remover designed to save you time, effort, and ultimately, money. Whether you’re a contractor or a DIY homeowner, Ox-Knox makes it easy to restore the original look of your siding.
How We Did It:
-
Pre-Wet the Wall: Start by pre-wetting the surface you’re working on. This helps the chemical spread evenly and begin breaking down that oxidation.
-
Apply Ox-Knox: We mixed Ox-Knox at a 4:1 ratio and applied it with a pump-up sprayer. If you’re using an X-Jet, the ratio will be similar. The key is to find the right balance—enough to be effective without being too strong.
-
Dwell Time: After applying Ox-Knox, give it some time to work its magic. There’s no need to brush—just let the chemical do the heavy lifting. We didn’t even have to scrub!
-
Rinse Off: Finally, rinse off the chemical with water. A garden hose works fine if you have good water pressure. Once it dries, you’ll be amazed at the results.
The Results:
In less than 10 minutes, we had the siding looking as good as new! The homeowner, who was considering repainting, was thrilled. Now, they’re planning to skip the paint job and just give the rest of the house a good Ox-Knox cleaning.
Why It Matters:
For homeowners, this means saving thousands of dollars on a paint job that you might not need right away. For contractors, it’s a game-changer—no more brushing every square inch of a house to remove oxidation. This is your ideal tool for restoring surfaces quickly and efficiently, whether you’re prepping for paint or just refreshing the look.
Final Thoughts:
Ox-Knox isn’t magic, but it’s pretty close! It won’t completely replace the need for repainting down the line, but it can definitely extend the life of your paint job and keep your home looking sharp from the curb. So, if you’re tired of scrubbing or looking for a way to wow your clients, give Ox-Knox a try. Your shoulders (and your wallet) will thank you!
