I am surprised that no one has posted the true time tested way to clean uph. Sure using a drill driver is great for comm uph and yes I have used a gecko (I own one) for res uph but no one here is telling this guy the safest way to clean uph.
Well guess this old timer will have to do it (and if anyone of you call me old timer I will drive to where you live and give you a purple nurple)
Take a three gallon bucket and mix up a batch of encap ds or hydrox about two gal is good, now whip it into a foam, take a sea sponge (a real sea sponge) and soak the sponge and squeeze it out as much as you need to, use the foam to clean the uph with the sponge re foaming the sponge as needed and then use a white clean cotton towel and towel off the area just cleaned. You can also use a horse hair brush (a real one) in place of the sponge. This is the safest way to clean resi uph. If you have a gecko extractor you can then extract more of the cleaned area (don't wet it just do a vacuum pass).
Put blower fan blowing across the uph to help dry it.
Every cleaner should know how to do this process. It's a little elbow grease but it's safe.
