Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clean the swing set and play structure without worrying about residue?
Yes. The peroxide-based formula rinses clean and leaves no toxic residue. Once dry, the play structure is safe for kids to climb, swing, and slide on.
Will it get rid of the green mildew on the wooden playhouse?
Yes. The peroxide action lifts mildew, mold, and algae from wood, composite, and plastic play structures, restoring them to a clean, kid-friendly finish.
Is it safe to use on the plastic slide without making it slippery?
Yes. It removes grime without leaving a slick or soapy film. Once rinsed and dry, the slide surface has its normal grip and texture.
Can I clean the sandbox border and the concrete around the trampoline?
Absolutely. The multi-surface formula works on concrete, plastic, vinyl, and metal — perfect for cleaning the areas surrounding sandbox borders, trampolines, and play zones.
Will my grass survive if some runoff goes into the yard where the kids play?
Yes. The formula is non-toxic to grass and plants. Unlike bleach, it won't yellow the lawn or create bare patches where kids love to roll and play.
I host a lot of birthday parties in the backyard — is this safe to use the morning of a party?
Yes. Apply early, let it dwell and rinse, and allow 1–2 hours of drying time. The patio will be clean, dry, and safe for kids and guests by party time.
Will it remove the chalk and juice stains from my concrete patio where the kids play?
Yes. The peroxide-based formula lifts organic stains like juice, food, and mildew, and the pressure washer action helps release chalk and surface grime from porous concrete.
Is this safe for cleaning the plastic outdoor toys scattered around the yard?
Yes. You can pre-spray plastic toys, bins, and ride-on cars, then rinse with a hose. The formula is non-corrosive to plastic and won't fade bright colors.
How does this compare to the bleach sprays I've been using on the play equipment?
Unlike bleach, this formula won't irritate skin, won't damage the metal chains on swings, won't fade plastic colors, and won't kill the grass where kids play. It delivers similar mold removal with a much gentler safety profile.
Is it safer than using a vinegar and water solution I saw online?
Vinegar works on light mildew but often requires extensive scrubbing and doesn't penetrate deeply. Simple Green Oxy Solve offers stronger cleaning power with the same pet-and-kid-safe profile and faster results.
Will it make the deck too slippery for kids to run on after cleaning?
No. It removes the mildew that actually causes the slipperiness. Once rinsed and dry, the deck surface returns to its normal traction — often with better grip than before.
My toddler puts everything in his mouth — is there any risk from a freshly cleaned surface?
Once rinsed and fully dry, no. The formula breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residue on surfaces even curious toddlers might touch.
What if rain washes the cleaner into the storm drain right after I apply it?
The biodegradable formula is much safer for waterways than bleach or acid cleaners. It breaks down quickly and is EPA Safer Choice certified for environmental safety.
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.
