Question

This is a stained cedar clapboard and barnboard house with rough side out - this house really kicked me where it hurts, the front of the home was especially the hardest to clean - did the whole job with just a ball valve. But Just Plain Painting made sure to satisfy another customer!

That little cubby area where the trash can was in, man the slime on the barnboard was so thick and disgusting - I think I almost saw it quiver when I first applied chems. Either I am not mixing my chems and getting them properly homogenized sometimes - or this stuff was just real nasty. I think I applied chems in certain spots on this one side of the home at least 10 times. I will say this - a ball valve sure makes a more potent cleaner with less chems, it can foam your chems as you apply it - and you generally use less chems to do the same job. It took me 3 hours of working to empty one 5 gallon container downstreamed! Now there is climbing on the roof time with that - and rerouting hoses and shutting the machine off twice. But that mildew didn't come off any slower than had I used a wand and sucking up a 5'er every 20 minutes.
