Over the years, we've used Wet & Forget on the siding at Steph's house. We've used a variety of applications methods with varying success. In this video, we try another method that we think is the best, most efficient way to apply Wet & Forget. Check out what we used and the results six months later. 

Tools:


  • Milwaukee M18 18-Volt 4 Gal. Lithium-Ion Cordless Switch Tank Backpack Pesticide Sprayer (Home Depot)

  • Wet and Forget Mold, Mildew & Algae Stain Remover.5 Gallon Concentrate Makes 3 Gallons - 2 Pack (Amazon)

Using the Milwaukee battery powered tank sprayer.
We're using a Milwaukee battery powered tank sprayer. It's a backpack sprayer but we're using it on a wheeled cart because it is too heavy for us to wear. We mixed the Wet & Forget outdoor concentrate with water. The tank holds four gallons. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions to get the water to Wet & Forget ratio correct.

Once the tank was filled it was time to spray. The reach on this spray wand is 25 feet which is what we needed to get the very top of this siding. The tank is a bit noisy so hearing protection is a must.

Wet and Forget outdoor is so much easier than pressure washing a surface.
Pretty cool and much easier than pressure washing!
What can we say, we are fans of Wet & Forget because we've seen how it works. This cleaning method is not for everyone as you have to be patient and wait for it to work. I'm sure there is some fancy scientific explanation for how and why it works, but all we need to know is it works!

By the way, we do like this Milwaukee spray tank application method the best. The last time we tried Wet & Forget on the siding was with the outdoor concentrate that attaches to a hose. In our opinion, that method did not work as well. It didn't seem to clean the surface well over time or keep it clean. 

We're finding that if we apply every six months, the Wet & Forget outdoor does a great job on the siding, sidewalks and other surfaces.

Hi Nancy, sorry, I have no idea. I bought it when I started college to move stuff into my dorm, so it's a good 14 years old! I would probably look on amazon now.
