Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pressure washer cleaner truly safe to use around my dog and cat?
Yes. The formula is non-toxic to pets when used as directed outdoors. Once the surface is dry, it's safe for paws and fur. There's no bleach, no harsh fumes, and no residue that could harm animals.
Will the runoff hurt my lawn, flower beds, or vegetable garden?
No. Simple Green Oxy Solve is biodegradable and non-toxic to plants and soil. Unlike bleach-based cleaners, it won't yellow your grass or damage nearby ornamentals when diluted as directed.
Can my kids play on the patio right after I clean it?
Yes. Once the surface has been rinsed and is dry to the touch, it's safe for children to walk, crawl, and play on. There are no caustic residues left behind.
Does this cleaner produce fumes I should worry about breathing?
No. The peroxide-based formula has a low odor profile compared to bleach or acid cleaners. It's comfortable to use in enclosed patios, garages, and around open windows.
Is the formula EPA certified for safety?
Yes. It's EPA Safer Choice certified, meaning every ingredient has been reviewed for human and environmental safety by an independent third party.
I have a koi pond near my deck — is the runoff safe for fish and aquatic life?
The biodegradable formula is designed to break down quickly and is non-toxic to wildlife. For koi ponds specifically, we recommend avoiding direct application over the water and rinsing debris away from the pond.
My husband has chemical sensitivities — can he be on the patio while I apply it?
The low-odor, peroxide-based formula is much more tolerable than bleach or acid alternatives. That said, anyone with respiratory sensitivities should stay upwind during application, and the area should be ventilated if you're working in a covered patio.
Is this safer than using straight bleach in my pressure washer?
Yes. Bleach releases chlorine fumes, kills nearby plants, and can damage wood fibers and metal fasteners. This peroxide-based formula delivers comparable cleaning without those risks.
Is it safer than hiring a soft-wash service that uses sodium hypochlorite?
For most homeowner applications, yes. Professional soft-wash services use strong chemicals at commercial strengths. This EPA Safer Choice certified formula delivers strong outdoor cleaning without the same hazard profile for families, pets, and landscaping.
Will the cleaner corrode my pressure washer's seals, fittings, or metal hose connectors?
No. The formula is non-corrosive to standard pressure washer components including hoses, o-rings, and quick-connect fittings, unlike some acid-based outdoor cleaners.
What happens if my dog licks a wet deck that was just cleaned?
While the formula is non-toxic, we recommend keeping pets off the wet surface until it's rinsed and dry. Once dry, there's no harmful residue that would concern a curious pet.
Is it safe to use on surfaces where food is prepared, like an outdoor kitchen or dining table?
Yes. Once rinsed and dry, the surface is food-safe. We recommend a final clean water rinse on any food-contact surface before use.
My child has asthma — will the application trigger breathing problems?
The peroxide-based formula has minimal volatile fumes compared to bleach. For sensitive individuals, apply on a calm day, keep the area ventilated, and they should remain indoors during application.
How do I use Simple Green Oxy Solve in my pressure washer?
For most pressure washers with a detergent tank, pour the concentrate directly into the onboard soap reservoir. For units with a siphon tube, attach the tube to the bottle. Apply at low pressure to wet the surface, let the foam dwell for 3–5 minutes, then rinse at high pressure. Adjust dilution based on soil level.
What dilution ratio should I use for heavy mold versus light dirt?
For light cleaning and maintenance, use a 1:10 to 1:20 dilution with water. For heavy mold, mildew, and algae, use a stronger 1:5 dilution or apply the concentrate directly through the pressure washer's soap nozzle for maximum strength.
Do I need to rinse the surface after applying the cleaner?
Yes. Always rinse thoroughly with clean water after the dwell time. For surfaces being prepped for staining or sealing, a final rinse is critical to remove all residue and allow proper adhesion.
Will this work with both electric and gas pressure washers?
Yes. It's compatible with all major consumer and light-commercial pressure washer brands, including electric, gas, hot, and cold water units, in the 1,500–4,000 PSI range.
Is it safe to use on painted surfaces?
Yes, on sound, properly bonded paint. It will clean dirt and mildew without stripping quality exterior paint. Avoid using on freshly painted surfaces (less than 30 days cured) or on failing/flaking paint.
What's included in the box when I order this product?
You receive one 1-gallon bottle of Simple Green Oxy Solve Total Outdoor Pressure Washer Cleaner concentrate. A pressure washer and hose are not included — these are sold separately or may already be part of your existing equipment.
Is this product safe if it gets on my skin or in my eyes?
While the formula is non-toxic and biodegradable, it is a cleaning concentrate and may cause mild irritation. We recommend wearing gloves and eye protection during application. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
How should I store the bottle between uses?
Store the sealed bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed. The concentrate has a long shelf life and won't lose effectiveness when stored properly.
What's the difference between a pressure washer cleaner and a regular outdoor cleaner?
Pressure washer cleaners are specifically formulated to flow through pressure washer systems, foam properly, cling to vertical surfaces, and rinse cleanly without leaving residue. Regular outdoor cleaners often require hand-scrubbing and may not be compatible with pressure washer seals or injection systems.
